I like fielder/Kimbrel as sure bets . Beltre and pujols should be able to be drafted for possibly a little less than you have for now . Maybe Stanton as a 3rd option but definitely prince and the next Mariano
I like PR guy's ....and no i don't keep stanton. It's ROTO and OBP, Giancarlo has no supporting cast. I like Prince there...but Pujols would be tough to argue as well
This was a tough spot. Auctions are a little hard because its always tough to guage where people spend without knowing the managers in your league. I decided to keep only one of Stanton, Fielder or Pujols. To me it was Stanton or Fielder (I didnt think the difference between those two and Pujols was worth $10). Ultimately I went with Fielder.
I opted not to keep Sabathia because with the guys I took, your budget is already more than half gone going into the draft. I wouldnt want to take Sabathia and have handcuff myself with having no money in the draft.
Finally I kept Buerhle, only because I don't know what pitching will go for in your league. I figure for $7 bucks in a QS league he will probably be pretty useful. If you think you can get equivalent guys in the draft at $7 then definitely throw back Buerhle.
I think Edwin @ 4, McDonald @ 5, and Wandy @ 6 are all good value.
Edwin will get you 20-25 QSs and 170+ Ks. That's good value for $4 I think.
McDonald is a young up and comer who I feel will expand on his sort of breakout year last season.
Wandy can still get it done and has always had a solid K/9 throughout his career. If he stays healthy he'll get ya 30 QSs and 180+ Ks with a respectable ERA and WHIP.
None of these guys are very sexy picks but $15 for the production you can expect is a good deal imo.

Who of the following would you keep? I have more than 32 players because I have made some deals to better my keepers but will probably throw back a bunch of players. Please help! Thanks. Prices are up 3 dollars if I were to keep them.
