This wasn't the best draft I've ever had, but it doesn't seem horrible. We may go to a keeper format which would help me with all this young talent.

I think you have a pretty solid team. However you seem to have two glaring issues, your outfield and pitching. I think you need more help with your pitching though so my suggestion would be to trade Chipper for a nice starter possibly Haren, Wainwright, Oswalt, or even maybe Nolasco+a closer (no matter how weak just to get you some saves.)

I agree with both your assessments. Not the best draft, but not the worst. For a keeper, you have a LOT to build on. Your Ramirez twins, Scherzer and Gallardo and Votto provides an EXCELLENT set up for the future. Your OF is very weak, and I agree with the idea to trade Chipper, either for some pitching, or to address your OF. He's good, but he's old, and broken down. Not as helpful for a fantasy team as he appears.

Thanks for your help with mine!
