Pick my keepers 16 team H2H League

[eatyun]

New rules this year we can keep 8-13 (if you keep more you lose draft picks)
H2H Stats are R,HR,RBI,SB,OBP,SLUG,W,STRIKEOUTS,SAVES,HOLDS,ERA,WHIP

i finished 5th with this team last year (I Traded Matt Holliday for Shelby Miller and Micheal Morse)
alot of people on here said that was a bad trade but holliday is 33 now Morse is 30 and Shelby miller is in his 20s i think i got a fair return

Ur team is not good. How did u finish 5th. Sorry, but I don't see 1 guy u would take in the top 5 rds. That trade is pretty even. Holiday is on the decline & Dickey just won the cy, although he doesn't have many years left. If u need the pitching go for it. Is this really ur whole team?

how did i finish 5th? i payed attention and rode who was hot Picked up some good people On FA i wouldnt say this team is horrible for a 16th team league. I dont have any top 10 talent but you can win without it

Definite pass.

Your offensive core is Rutledge and Holliday no way to you trade them for less than elite talent.

You're really high on Rutledge this season, MadDog36, aren't you?

As for the trade, if you feel the need to trade Holliday, I think you should consider a 2-for-1 to improve you're overall keeper group (but try to get the other guy to overpay). Personally I'd hold on to Holliday, and if worse comes to worse maybe try to upgrade the hitter on the trade and maybe include a closer or someone else if they're short on keepers as well.

Question:
1. Do you get to pick early if you take 8 keepers instead of 13?

[eatyun]

yes i do get to draft earlier if i keep less. and i traded holliday for Shelby Miller and Micheal Morse (while that trade wont help me to much this year im hopin it pays off in the future)

If you trade Holliday I would deal him for a package of three good hitting prospects. pitching prospects are easiest to find if your that hellbent on dealing your major (only IMO) trade piece.
