I won this league last season. So I would like to be able to repeat. Here are a few things you need to know about the keepers. Like stated I can keep 0 players up to and including 6 players. Also, the keepers are salaried and it escalates depending on how many years a player has been kept. The keepers will also effect my draft budget of $260. To make things easier I will go ahead and include the escalated salary for the keepers.
In short: Auction Draft with $260 budget Keepers affect budget 0-6 Keepers
Players: Batters:
$ Name $15 Miguel Montero, Ari C $3 Carlos Pena, TB 1B $9 Jason Kipnis, Cle 2B $21 Adrian Beltre, Tex 3B $24 Starlin Castro, ChC SS $3 Juan Pierre, Phi OF $8 Austin Jackson, Det OF $34 Ben Zobrist, TB 2B, OF $35 Kevin Youkilis, Bos 3B $23 Colby Rasmus, Tor OF $7 Asdrubal Cabrera, Cle SS $5 Ryan Roberts, Ari 2B, 3B $6 Lucas Duda, NYM 1B, OF
Pitching:
$ $37 Jon Lester, Bos SP $4 Javier Vazquez, FA SP $3 Kyle Lohse, StL SP $3 Colby Lewis, Tex SP $5 Doug Fister, Det SP $10 Hiroki Kuroda, NYY SP $10 Jair Jurrjens, Atl SP $3 Ryan Vogelsong, SF SP DTD $3 Guillermo Moscoso, Col SP $27 Brett Anderson, Oak SP DTD
I really don't see me keeping many of the pitchers. The two I would think hard about is Fister and Lewis. As far as the batters Asdrubal is a no-brainer. After that have been thinking of keeping Montero, Beltre and Castro.
So if I went with what I was thinking it would look like this: $15 Miguel Montero, Ari C $21 Adrian Beltre, Tex 3B $24 Starlin Castro, ChC SS $7 Asdrubal Cabrera, Cle SS $3 Colby Lewis, Tex SP $5 Doug Fister, Det SP -------------------------------- $260 - $75 (amount for those 6 keepers) = $185
Any better suggestions or thoughts are definitely welcome. Like I said I will WHIR just leave link and will reply as best as I can.

this is what I see as good value. Castro at $24 seems a little high and Monero at $15 seems to high. Kipnis at $9 was intriguing so i might keep him as well.

last spot goes to castro or kipnis. in a 16 team league i imagine shortstop will be pretty thin in the draft which makes castro a decent option at $24. probably not a ton of value there, but it's probably worth it to lock up a shortstop. i like kipnis as well but you may be able to get him cheaper in the draft.

Forgot it was a 16 team league. So I would add Montero and Castro at those values. Still kind of high but you are going to have to fill those spots with someone.

$21 Adrian Beltre, Tex 3B $3 Carlos Pena, TB 1B 9 Jason Kipnis, Cle 2b $7 Asdrubal Cabrera, Cle SS $3 Colby Lewis, Tex SP 5 Doug Fister, Det SP He has Asdrubal at a 1/3 of the cost so you keep him. Beltre is a stud and worth that much. Longo will probably go between 25-30. Lewis and good Fister are good rotation fillers would keep them also. And Kipnis too (utley jr) I might be in the minority but in a deep league 3 bucks for 30 homers is reasonable to I'd go with Pena.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
