3 Keepers

Postby saberotica » Fri Nov 27, 2009 1:08 am

Allowed to pick three keepers. 15 team, 30-man rosters. Keep in same round you drafted them (draft round in ()). Can keep multiples in same round, but lose previous round pick. Bold are the ones Im thinking.

Aaron Hill (19)
Chris Coghlan (29)
Andrew McCutchen (29)
Rajai Davis (29)
Matt Kemp (2)
Nelson Cruz (28)
Rafael Soriano (18)
Tommy Hanson (29)
Jair Jurrjens (17)
Jeff Niemann (29)

Any help is appreciated, will answer in exchange for answers.

those 3 & Cruz certainly stick out as great values; I'd have a very tough time letting go of Kemp. Is it more important to get a 1st rounder in the 2nd round or a value guy 20 something rounds later than what he'd go for this year? Do you have an idea where in the 2nd round you'd be picking yet?

I agree with Hootie here.

The marginal value of Hill is overmatched by Kemp in the 2nd. That's the better value.

Kemp, McCutchen, and Hanson pretty easy.

Kemp is your best player, don't overthink it with Hill in the 19th being too good a deal to pass on Kemp for.

2nd pick in the second round (should have included that in the original post I suppose) so my thought was to let kemp walk since id be paying almost full value.

Nothing wrong with paying full value if the guy is young and already putting up elite numbers. IMO deep leagues are generally won with stars, because the talent is so spread out. I like going into a draft with a guy like Kemp already in my pocket.

So also agreed, Kemp, McCutchen, Hanson (nice trio there), and work on trading Hill and Cruz, maybe for improved draft position.

I agree you go to keep Kemp. If you had another big bat on your team then maybe I let Kemp go but most sure fire first rounders are going to be kept so you want to have a big bat in your lineup as well. I am not sold on Hill repeating last years numbers. Kemp could easily be a 1st round value when all things are said and done.

Yep, no reason to give up Kemp. Also like Hanson and McCutchen.
