2008 - 2009 Keepers

[Tim]

Man, I really need Lackey and Felix to suck bad their last few starts.

 

Currently, Pujols + ARod + Felix + Lackey = 1970 points. If I could keep those four this offseason, I'd be thrilled.

 

BTW - The following players are first-round worthy and are available to those who have room under the limit:

 

Bay

Roberts

Santana

Felix

Lackey

 

These guys aren't first round worthy, but they're all points exempt:

 

Hermida

Verlander

Parra

Anibal Sanchez

[BigbadB]

Oh crap. My four points accumulating keepers are getting awful close to the cap, as well.

 

Brandon Webb

Roy Oswalt

Matt Holliday

Vernon Wells

= 1946 points

 

Come on, Roy. You can't win the Cy Young or make the playoffs at this point. Just stop with the 50 point outings already. If these guys can stay under the cap, my other 6 keepers will likely be:

 

James Shields

Alex Gordon

Geovany Soto

Stephen Drew

and 2 of Ian Stewart, Jacoby Ellsbury, Alexei Ramirez, Ubaldo Jimenez, Johnny Cueto

 

If my 4 guys go over the cap, I'll keep 3 of those bottom guys and decide.

 

Players that will be available for minor leaguers and/or draft picks are:

 

Carlos Pena

Milton Bradley

Randy Johnson

Javier Vasquez

BJ Upton

Carlos Marmol

Matt Capps

Ubaldo Jimenez

Johnny Cueto

and possibly Vernon Wells

I should trade for BJ just to keep up tradition.

[rawaction]

Well my top 4 are:

 

Sizemore

Wright

Hamels

Kinsler

 

Hamels and Kinsler each have 1 more exemption. I also have Shoppach, Wainwright and Broxton with exemptions who are likely to be kept. If I keep all 7 of them, that will leave me about 800 points for 3 more players. Means I will most likely be deciding between Jose Reyes, Matt Cain, and Adrian Gonzalez.

[tadowdaddy]

Just wait... I should have plenty of players to add to the talks after next week.

[Guest]

Who will have keeper points available?

 

Announce it here and you'll probably get trade offers from three people within an hour! :D

[Guest]

Sure...Felix picks yesterday to throw up his first 30+ point start since I got him. [expletive].

[cbbryan]

I've got lots of 1st rounders and can't keep them all. Anyone with points can let me know.

 

I'll be trading for draft picks since I don't have any anymore.

I don't remember why but I had thought I had read something about 1800. 2,000 is better :-).

[Guest]

Okay, my guys blew staying under the cap, so Vernon Wells will become a casualty of Fuzzy Logistics roster crunch. It looks like I'm going to go with this:

 

C- Geovany Soto (exempt)

1b-

2b- Alexei Ramirez (exempt)

3b- Alex Gordon (exempt)

SS- Stephen Drew (exempt)

OF- Jacoby Ellsbury (exempt)

OF- Matt Holliday

OF-

U- Ian Stewart (exempt)

 

SP- Brandon Webb

SP- James Shields (exempt)

SP- Roy Oswalt

 

For those interested, I have these fantastic players available for draft picks, minor leaguers, etc.....

 

BJ Upton

Carlos Pena

Vernon Wells

Johnny Cueto (exempt)

Ubaldo Jimenez (exempt)

Carlos Marmol (exempt)

Randy Johnson

Javier Vasquez

Matt Capps

Milton Bradley

 

I would also consider trading two of my exempt players in my keeper list above (that are not named James Shields or Geovany Soto) for 1 exempt player.

[abuck1220]

if you guys really want fantastic players, fielder and soriano are available. so are dempster and abreu.

 

my exempt SP's are also available. sure am glad none of you guys took me up on my offer to give away john danks. :shock:

just using your standard of fantastic-ness.

[tadowdaddy]

Just throwing some names out there without looking and doing a complete analysis... I would be willing to trade any of these guys..

 

Howard

Morneau

Sheets

Kazmir

Cano

Dye

Halladay

Garza (exempt)

Floyd (exempt)

Rowland-Smith (exempt)

Molina

Papelbon

Krod

 

I plan on getting rid of a huge player or 2 to get a long term ml ready keeper that can help me fit under the cap. I'm guessing one of Howard/Morneau will be available as will one of Sheets/Kazmir...
