Polanco + Baez + Dickerson keeper decision Jan 29, 2015 22:50:15 GMT -8

12 team H2H Keeper league - 2nd year of league - fairly deep with 29 roster spots
6x6 counting TB and OBP (no AVG)
Keep 5 max, at least 1 pitcher + 1 hitter
Keepers are kept in the same round as drafted last year, if kept again will move up 2 rounds, then 4, etc.

My keeper choices are:
McCutchen (1st)
Abreu (7th)
Seager (10th)
Baez (14th)
Polanco (26th)
Dickerson (26th)
Soler (26th)
Ozuna (26th)
==========
Cobb (9th)
Wheeler (16th)

Right now, assuming no trades, Im planning to keep Cutch/Abreu/Dickerson/Soler/Cobb
What do you think?

Pre-draft trades are allowed, so im looking to move as many of the other guys as I can. I won the league last year in the inaugural season, so i have last pick in the snake draft this year.
Im hoping I can move Baez (or possibly Polanco) to swap 1st round picks with the last place team, to give me the #1 overall pick. That would allow me to cut Cutch and get a free extra keeper, and then be able to re-draft Cutch with the 1st overall pick.
If I cant do that, I will try to trade for a better pitcher keeper (I hate keeping any pitching, but its a league rule).

Is this a solid plan? Who would you try to trade, and who would you try to keep?

I would prefer to trade Baez to move up to the first overall pick, and then keep Polanco with the "free" keeper.
If I have to trade Polanco, then I would probably keep Ozuna.
Although Seager is pretty good value in the 10th as well.

I think trade him, and keep Seager who at 10th round is a good value.

I would too. Unfortunately league rules state I have to keep at least one pitcher.
So its either Cobb, Wheeler, or trade for a SP.
And since if I make a trade I would rather trade up to the top of the 1st round in order to secure an extra keeper, Im pretty much locked into Cobb I think.

Why exactly do you think the other party would be interested in this? He knows that a fringe top 10 player is going to be dropped and available with that pick. The talent will likely be much less at the back of the round.

I would instead focus on trading 2 of your prospects (or include Cobb) like Soler, Polanco, Baez and Ozuna for a top pitcher with a 5-10 keeper round value.

I'd rather keep Wheeler in the 16th than Cobb in the 9th. Wheeler is a bit of a shot in the dark but it could pay off bigtime. I love Polanco so I'd be fine keeping him but if you can score big in a trade with him, go for it and keep Seager in the 10th, a great deal.

I would make the trade with an owner who already has a player he is keeping in the 1st round (First pick belongs to owner with Goldschmidt, and the rest of his keepers suck). So hes not losing anything by moving his pick back, and essentially gets a stud prospect keeper for free. Assuming the owner is interested in one of my players, why wouldn't he do it?

If I dont make the trade, Im obviously not dropping McCutchen. The player I drop instead would be nowhere close to fringe top 10. If the other owner doesnt make the deal it means that a player like Ozuna/Seager/Baez is available, not Cutch.
