Keeper Champions- Official Fantasy Thread

[Cornerstore]

I threw out some pretty crazy value offers.

I want a top 20 keeper. My Ammo is deep

Blackmon, Arenado, Whit Merrifield, Goldschmidt, Correa, Rosenthal - You want a 4:1 and it gives me a bonified keeper - shoot me a offer by 1pm tomorrow. I threw out a few deals to those in the top 6 - if any team in the bottle 6 feels they have a shot - let me know.

[Hollywood42]

Dang. Hard to argue against a return like that. I was tempted to accept a similar deal, but just can't let go of Alonso or Acuna in a year like this

[seanbros55]

Wow...71 points for Giolito! Congrats!

[Viking6]

If anybody wants to offer me a strong keeper for Liam Hendricks / Kershaw / George Springer. I will take a look. Otherwise i will battle it out.

now since then ive gone 30-3...damn those first two weeks!!!

Didn't notice Plesac was starting until just now so sucks he'll be on the bench, but I hope he can perform as well as he was before being sent home. 25th round keeper value on him would be amazing if that occurred.

Dinelson Lamet and Eloy Jimenez are making their case to be keepers next year at their 5th and 6th round values respectively. I'm going to have some tough decisions to make next year.

im gonna be trading some guys for picks almost guaranteed...current day i have:

Soto- Round 14
Buehler- Round 15
Berrios- Round 6
Biggio- Round 9
Scherzer- Round 1--i think we settled on keepers staying so i could still keep him in round 1 as far as i know??
Verdugo- Round 12
Semien- Round 18--rough season but still its rd18!
K.Tucker- Round 20!
Civale- Round 13

FA Adds
Cronenworth- Round 15
F.Valdez- Round 15
Gonsolin- Round 15
Dunning/Fleming both good starts but we will see...

Might be the year i trade Buehler....just get a few picks...someone will prob trade a 1st/3rd for Buehler and like a couple late round picks....i get some early round firepower and you get a beast keeper...

[Hollywood42]

Not sure what I'll do with my keepers quite yet. Acuna in the 5th and Trevor Bauer in the 7th are pretty well locked in, but then I have some choices-

Luis Castillo- 3- Hasn't been as good as I hoped since trading for him, may be best to toss him back, but fully expect a bounceback
Kenta Maeda- 6- Having a great season and is definitely keeper worthy, just not a huge discount
Shohei Ohtani- 10- Very disappointing year, but so tempting to keep. He's the most valuable player in fantasy when he's going 2 ways, I want to believe
Pete Alonso- 11- Super rasy keep even with a sophomore slump. Just a matter of if I decide to keep or trade
Max Kepler- 17- Also easy keeper, again just depends what I decide to do

Also have another tier of several guy guys that could work their way into keeper talks as well-

Randy Dobnak- 15- Not what you think of when someone says dominant, but he's been pretty good
Tarik Skubal- 15- TBD how he finishes out the year, but super high upside, have to consider it as a pitcher
Nick Madrigal- 18- Cheap for someone who gets on base a ton
David Fletcher- 23- Insanely cheap for a very good hitter who has eligibility just about everywhere

[Cornerstore]

Giolito, Yelich, Kyle Lewis and Jesus Luzardo seme like locks

Charlie Morton and Luis Severino have crazy value for there draft position and then theres Andrew Vaughn as well as a young gun with FA value.

Nelson Cruz has been a monster and has good draft value, but depends if he comes back next year. Should have 1-2 really really solid keepers for a team in need and finally a good core of 2 keepers after really misisng the last 2 years

Dang didn’t realize I was so high up. I’m 3-3 in the normal matchups so I guess I’ve just been unlucky with those matchups

[Ray27Ray52]

My team is trash overall however how can I not keep Sixto Sanchez at his 21st round value next year? Every time I look at my roster I find someone else that's going to have to go back out there that I want to keep.

Sixto was a great pickup in the draft. He looks great.

My team has fallen off a cliff. My draft was just awful. Marte, Springer, Garver, Moose, McCullers all trash this year.

Sonny Gray in round 20 something might be my only decent keeper

[Hollywood42]

Corbin Burnes has emerged as another keeper option for me at FA cost. He's come along much quicker than I thought

[7jacfire]

Have a lot more guys who can be kept this year than I did last year. Fried, Gleyber, McNeil, Plesac, Conforto, Hader, Stanton, Dunn, Sheffield can all be solid options, but will have to narrow that group down to 5, which will be difficult. Only guys I'm pretty certain about right now are Fried, Gleyber, and Plesac.

I drafted Sixto, he netted me DeGrom so I was very happy there

Degrom was a good get for you. When I traded for him for this season I had decided I was going all in to go for the championship. However with the abbreviated season and the uncertainty of my finish in a short season instead of the usual marathon I decided it would be wiser to unload him for lottery tickets with good draft value instead of keeping him. It looks like it may have paid off for both of us. Especially if you finish in the top of the standings. Makes it easier for you to justify keeping him next year at his 1st round value.
