***Read post below. The trade died***
12 team 5x5 (OBP instead of runs; yes, we double dip AVG). 23 player rosters (2 catcher, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, MI, CI, UT, 5 OF, 9 P) NO BENCH!!! $260 Draft Cap 0-7 Keepers by adding $5 to previous season salary
Here are my potential freezes for 2015 and their cost:
C - C - 1B - 2B - 3B - Sandoval $13 SS - Castro $8 MI - CI - OF - Puig $11 OF - Springer $9 OF - Harper $21 OF - Polanco $10 OF - UT -
P - Kershaw $36 P - Bumgarner $27 P - Wainwright $21 P - Gausman $1 P - Carrasco $15 P - P -
P -
P -
I'm pretty locked in on the 4 keepers in red. I understand that Kershaw is expensive, but I'm a homer & cannot be convinced. I am open on the others.
I could probably get Donaldson $20 or Beltre $26 from another owner for either Kershaw, Wainwright or MadBum. Ridding myself of the giant looks good to me. I also do not have a good feeling about Wainwright and his elbow, or else I would definitely hold. He also has a $16 Altuve.
I am also pretty sure that I can do well in the draft with my pitching staff. So even if I went in with only Kershaw, I have confident that I can build a top 3 staff.
Would you consider Beltre or Donaldson at those costs a good exchange for the pitching that I am giving up? I am very certain that I can do a 1 for 1 for either guy with any pitcher. I may even consider trying to get Altuve also.
MadBum & Wainwright for Donaldson & Altuve?

MadBum & Wainwright for Donaldson & Altuve? I would do this, especially with the cost difference. If not moving both SP's I'd rather move Wainwright, he scares the crap out of me this year.
I'd look at moving Wainwright for either Donaldson or Altuve for sure though. I'm not sure on Beltre at that cost though.

Based on the fact its a keeper league I would try to get Doldson in the deal as opposed to Beltre,he's older and costs more.I would also keep Polanco over Castro.

I don't have a lot of interest in paying market price for Wainwright or Beltre anymore. They both seem prone to a massive decline one of these years (possibly this year). Bum isn't like Kershaw but he's rock solid. I would trade Wainwright for Donaldson.
Altuve is nice to have but I wouldn't trade Bumgarner for him. SB's are an undervalued resource and he's likely to hit in the .280's with minimal power and counting stats.

I would do Waino for Donaldson straight up. Altuve overvauled.

Do the trade. Get the bats. I agree about not trusting Whainwright. Altuve is very solid value even if he falls off a lot. Donaldson will give solid value and you are locking up 2 positions that put others at the auction at a disadvantage due to the shortage of quality alternatives. You can always find a couple SP's off the wire, finding a 2B or 3B is not so easy.
Im not sure how to cut an past my post on here yet. But I have a auction 2/2 trade posted and would like to hear your opinion.
Thanks and good luck.

The trade ended up not happening. I have a Harper for Donaldson flyer out there, but who knows.
Keeper deadline is next Friday. If my roster looks like it does above, do you agree with just the four keepers?

I like those keepers. Would you consider a $9 savings from Kershaw to Bumgarner?
