Roto 6x6 (IP and OBP added) - 11 teams - $260 auction - C / 1B / 2B / SS / 3B / 4OF / 2UT / 5SP / 3RP - 6 keepers
Going into the auction really cheap this year (more because I had a weak team and have some bargains, rather than choice). I'm rebuilding. We keep 6. Here are my five so far:
C - Matt Wieters - $5 2B - Aaron Hill - $5 OF - Nelson Cruz - $5 OF - Nick Markakis - $13 RP - Jonathan Broxton - $5
I have three trades on the table to fill my last keeper spot... Billy Butler, Ubaldo Jimenez or Brett Anderson. All are $5 players. I would on;y give a farm team draft pick up in return.
WIth this deal, I would throw David Wright $39 and Johan Santana $27 back into the pool (both too high $$ IMO). But I'd have $222 left to get them back... and enough money to build a solid team.
Which of Butler, Anderson or Jimenez would you choose?
I'm a big Ubaldo fan and own him in both leagues I'm in, but I always prefer hitters over pitchers so I'd go with Butler first, then Ubaldo second. Anderson 3rd.
