How are my NL-Only keepers?

[MashinSpuds]

10 team, 5x5 NL-Only auction roto league with a $80 budget. I hope to get pitching in the draft so I'm hoping my hitters hold up. Do you think these keepers are too pricey, too weak, or solid enough?

Positions: 2C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, MI, CI, 5 OF, 2 Util, 10 P

Paul Goldschmidt ($1.00)
Chase Utley ($4.50)
Jose Reyes ($6.30)
Aramis Ramirez ($6.00)
Jay Bruce ($8.20)
Jerry Sands ($1.00)
Anibal Sanchez ($2.90)
Jonathon Niese ($1.60)
Mike Minor ($1.30)
Craig Kimbrel ($1.00)

Other options: Josh Collmenter ($1.00), Chipper Jones ($2.40), Joe Saunders ($1.00)

Thanks for any insight.

Not bad, I don't like keeping Niese and Minor but I guess you have to. The other options aren't better.

please help

This is tough for me, since you start with a low budget that i'm not familiar with. But I have to agree with the other poster. You other options are deffinitely not better.

Yeah, we don't go by the $260 cap as usual (don't know why). Maybe multiply each salary by 3 and add a dollar or so to sort of estimate a $260 cap, perhaps?

I actually like Niese for $1.60 the most of all your keeper pitchers.

I think Niese is more likely to throw up more K's than Anibal, although Anibal certainly has the better lineup behind him.

In an NL-Only league, gotta take upside where you can. I am hoping that this is the year after the injuries and wildness. Hoping a cheap back end of the rotation can at least get the K's while the other ones I draft (I hope) get the wins and ratios.
