Would you keep both Trout and Altuve?

K:BB ratio and ballpark are big factors separating the 2 IMO.


Oakland is certainly a better pitchers park than texas... But texas isn't a hitters ballpark either... We think it is, because it used to be the Colorado of the AL...

there are actually 7 reserve rounds after the draft. they do not count against your cap.
25 players that count, 7 that do not.

With 7 keepers you gotta keep Graveman just to save money now.

With that scoring system (no saves), i might just go get a bunch of decent setup relievers and one good SP.

You won't get wins or Ks, but you can easily take ERA, WHIP and BBs.

I fucked up, remove walks, add Saves.

trying to do this, listen to my ipod and do some work is not a good plan for me.

Do you have any other keeper options?

Like any of your reserve picks from last year?

Nope, just the ones I posted

None of my reserves qualified or were dropped or traded throughout the season.

Had a lot of injuries last year.

The more i review all the options, Santana might be the best option as keep #7.

You can live with a .260ish average when you have Trout and Altuve

Meh... would MUCH rather pay the extra 7 for Gray... But still would look for someone else, maybe Melky??

He's an empty batting average.

But he doesn't have 7 good options.

I've always drafted knowing that there are very good SP options late in the draft.

Sometimes I cant resist the urge to get a high priced SP, but I probably wont have that option this year.

Opinions on Russell Martin at $15 knowing that 24 catchers will be drafted? Would be nice to have a good one and then be able to get a shitty one for $1.

That BA is brutal though.

What are examples from the last auction of SPs who went "cheap?"

are trades allowed?? at this point I think you should be trading both Trout and Altuve... There really isn't much good in having terrible keepers when you have those 2 players... Your playing for now with NO value plays...

here is the thing, those are value plays because they ended up good(shoemaker and duffy) but at the moment, they were really not good plays... Duffy came from absolutely nowhere to put up those numbers(he was a decent prospect at best)...

not before the draft, which is why I was asking about whether or not I should keep both Altuve and Trout. I get the allure of keeping both, but given the rest of my roster, it might not make sense.

I was thinking Trout and then 6 guys, which would give me a little more flexibility come draft time.

Keep two or three guys in the place of one Altuve, and use that surplus $ for some better depth
