All these can be keep even if they end up the AL. As long as they played in the NL last year and were on my roster at the end of the season.
Not a lot of bargains here.
Anthony Rendon - $12 - yes
Denard Span - $12 – feel like 2014 might be the high water mark for him.
Hunter Pence - $18 – given my other keepers he is a yes.
Brandon Belt - $18 – Could be worth it but I think he would be cheaper in the auction
Ian Desmond - $24 – yes. Expensive but finding a decent SS for less would not be fun in the auction.
Carlos Gonzalez - $26 – My head says no but they guy has tons of talent and could win an MVP if he could stay healthy. Probably not worth $26 to gamble on him.
Clayton Kershaw - $35 – Crazy expensive and crazy good. Would rather spread my money around but he is an option.
Adam Wainwright - $24 – Yes. More along the lines of what I want to spend on an ace.
Tyson Ross - $17 – Love the K’s but I feel like I might be able to get him for a better price at auction.
Alex Wood - $14 – Not a bad pitcher, not a bad price. Neither makes me jump for joy though.
Brandon McCarthy - $6 – good price. Not convinced he can pitch as well as he did last year for the Yankees.
If Sandoval leaves, Posey goes to 3B then Andrew Susac would be worth $6

If Sandoval leaves, Posey goes to 3B then Andrew Susac would be worth $6 Don't see Buster moving to 3rd in the near future, even if Pablo leaves. He's too valuable behind the plate. Off the top of my head I would keep: Rendon Pence Desmond Cargo Kershaw (maybe) Wainwright kinda scares me. The other pitchers all seem kinda meh to me. I'd rather take the money to the draft. Keeping Kershaw is kinda dependant on inflation in your league but he's so good and I seriously doubt he goes for less in the draft. |

Kershaw should go around that price. I doubt less than $30 but bids dry up pretty fast when I guy gets over $30.
It is mostly Cardinal fans in the league so you have me thinking what I could get back for Wainwright. I hate the idea of keeping 2 SP for over 20% of my budget no matter who they are.

Rendon
Pence
Desmond
Kershaw
If you don't have to keep 8 I'd go with these 4 only. Wainwright scares me with the health concerns and tired arm down the stretch. Pitching can usually be found cheap(er) during the auction. Kershaw though is a must keep for me, allows you take some risks with your rotation as well. CarGo is a no go for me. I'd rather something more stable for the big $$ but I tend to lean to the safe with keepers.

In a mixed league I could see possibly not keeping cargo at $26. In an NL-only i think you absolutely have to keep him at that price. Upside is just too high.

I keep Kershaw and figure out a way to do it. If that means keeping a $6 McCarthy then that's fine. McCarthy is a strange SABR case. velocity, swstr%, BB's, K's and pretty much everything are nothing like anything that he's done in his career.
I do not like Desmond at all but he keeps producing big numbers the ugly way. Keep him. Keep Rendon. Keep Pence for stability.
I have no idea what to do with Cargo myself. Your situation is even harder. You can keep him and swing for the fences but this one decision could sink your team in an NL only if he misses half of a season again. I'm pretty much committed to Cargo at this point (dynasty) because his trade value is low. I do however have good backup OF'ers to fill in if/when he's injured.

Best offer I got for Wainwright so far is a $15 Matt Kemp. With Cargo and Kemp I'm just setting myself up for disaster right?

Honestly given your keepers it might not be a bad time to just go for the high variance route and take a shot at winning it all. If you aren't in it by the trade deadline just dump for better value guys. |

If Sandoval leaves, Posey goes to 3B then Andrew Susac would be worth $6 I'd go Rendon, trade for Kemp, Desmond, Kershaw and McCarthy. I think the decent chance that Cargo is leaving Coors this year via trade + the fact his career is getting injury wobbles is a no-go for me. McCarthy is a legit 3-something ERA pitcher, so I like him at $6 |

You need to get out of that league with your niece and her friends. This is the guy that won it last year. And he proposed it to me. I've already received emails from 2 others owners. Not sure why he likes Wainwright so much though. He's even a Cubs fan. |

I would've kept Waino over Kershaw. But with that deal I think you can afford to keep Kershaw now. Other keepers are in line with everyone else, but I still don't keep McCarthy. Dude is gonna blow up.
