I am in a 12-team mixed auction league. We keep up to 9 players with their salaries coming off the $260 total for the draft. We start 23 players and have two bench spots.
I can keep
Brandon Belt for $1
or
Kendry Morales for $10
My other keepers are:
C/1B: Buster Posey $10 1B: Prince Fielder $25 3B: Brett Lawrie $5 2B: Rickie Weeks $10 OF: Shin-Soo Choo $18 OF: Carlos Gonzalez $120 OF: Desmond Jennings $5 OF: Adam Jones $15
I am keeping all hitters this year as my pitching doesn't have any good value.
Have to go with Belt as well. $1 are easy keeps IMO. There is very little risk and a ton or reward. Morales at $10 seems a little high or about right depending on the league. I know I wouldn't touch him unless he was under $5 but I am in the minority on that one.

$1 Belt is fantastic. With every-day ABs, I think Belt can really put together a nice campaign, especially since he'll be in the middle of the order somewhere. I'm hoping for about 20-25 HRs and 75 RBIs. The only thing he might kill you on is AVG, but we'll see. Anything above .250 is gravy.
