Never too early keeper advice
Posted: October 28th, 2022, 10:57 am
12 team AL only 5x5 H2H keeper league. Use OBP, W+QS and changing to S+1/2H. Can protect up to 8 players. 10 games to qualify for position. $260 team budget on auction day. Draft day inflation 25-35% for first half. Can keep players for 2 years at same salary. Thereafter can extend for 1, 2, or 3 years at $5 increments/yr. Any player signed to an extension can not be dropped.
Possible keepers:
Vlad $39 (needs an extension if kept...he'll likely go for 45-50 in draft, maybe someone really wants him and pays 50-55)
Bichette $19 (last year of extension so has to be kept)
Suarez $17
Pena $16 (if he continues his post season run he'd go for $20+ in the auction)
Torkelson $1
Mullins $5 (I will extend him either for 1 yr/$10 or 2 yrs/$15)
Jansen $1 (hit well in a loaded lineup but where will he be in 2023?)
Kerry Carpenter $1 (showed some good pop both in minors and MLB....but will he be a starter in the OF)
Robbie Ray $8 (will extend for 1 yr/$13)
Bautista $1
John Gray $4
Fairbanks $1 (bit of an injury risk plus TB uses a committee most of the time but has the best stuff)
Jason Adam $1 (is he 1A or 1B in the committee?)
Duran $1 (will he be the defacto closer?)
My current thinking:
Bichette $19
Mullins 2 yrs/$15
Suarez $17 (dead ball didn't affect his power and fits better in OBP league)
Torkelson $1 (latest info is alot of his issues were mental....his head was swimming in stats in video. Going back to what got him there which are basics. Ton of upside)
Ray 1 yr/$13
Gray $4
Bautista $1
last spot....Pena, Carpenter, Fairbanks, Duran, Jansen
Thoughts on my top 7 and who to go with for the final keeper? Is Torkelson too much of a high risk/reward for a keeper?
Should I be keeping Vlad at $44?
Would packaging Duran and Pena for a $10 Arozarena be a fair trade?
