I'm leaning towards the bolded(unless I'm talked out of it), leaving me $1 to spend
My keeper question is:
Who do I keep?
I Desmond or A LaRoche....both are the same price
Or do I throw Gardner back and rethink all of my keepers?
Keeper help needed
Re: Keeper help needed
The key is OBP
Gardner gets a boost, Desmond takes a hit. In BA, my answer is different, but with OBP, I add LaRoche and keep the rest the same.

Re: Keeper help needed
Todd does Gardner get enough of a boost to offset both the injury risk and the cheaper players not kept - Eaton may end up with almost the same stats - few less SB and a few more HR

I think you can get Gardner back "cheaper" if you want him.
That frees up $$ for some speculative plays. It's such a shallow league that if they don't work out, so what, you replace them.
You have $5 to play with
LaRoche
Desmond
Perkins
Eaton
Ruggiano
Then draft some OBP support.

Re: Keeper help needed
I'll be looking for a HUGE bat come draft day, as several sluggers will be available(M Cab would be nice)......SB's were my achilles heal last year.
Opps, I've also Starling Marte

Re: Keeper help needed
I will guess that Marte is $1 and add him to this list then whittle it down......Wrigley wrote:I'll be looking for a HUGE bat come draft day, as several sluggers will be available(M Cab would be nice)......SB's were my achilles heal last year.

okay, let's eliminate Cuddyer, R. Zimmerman, Scutaro, Gardner, Rasmus, Ruggiano, and Jay, then Francisco, Holland, E. Santana, Chen, and Stultz; leaving us with
C: M Montero($3)
E Encarnacion($2)
A LaRoche($1)
SS: I Desmond($1)
OF:Ad Jones($3)
OF:J Willingham($2)
OF: J Reddick($1)

IIRC you have $18 to work with and the above total $23 so five dollars to cut
Here are the questionable
D. Brown $1 - does he platoon? I can't see him worth keeping with all his questions/baggage
J. Reddick $1 - not sure about his OBP but I don't think he repeats the power
Willingham $2 - you can always get him back and you have a lot of power already
Desmond $1 - love the counting stats but can you afford the OBP?
S. Marte $1 - I love the guy but not sure this they give him enough rope if he has a poor start
G. Perkins $1 - I actually like this guy and cheap saves are never bad
so if you keep
C: M Montero($3)
1B: E Encarnacion($2)
CI: A LaRoche($1)
SS: I Desmond($1)
OF:Ad Jones($3)
OF: A Eaton($1)
OF: C Ross($1)
P: M Scherzer($3)
P: C Sale($2)
for $17 you can add one more $1 player - I would add Perkins but your mileage may vary
