I thought this could be a good centralized location for this kind of talk, given that drafts are probably coming up and keepers are probably due soon, for most.

I can keep 5 players in an auction league. I have 6 I'm trying to pick from. $260 auction budget (each year, the price goes up another $7). These are the prices I could keep the players at for this year. Who do you all think I should leave out? I'm really struggling with the choice, because I feel as though I have to keep Acuna.

Machado – $24

Bryant – $21

Betts – $21

C. Seager – $14

Pham – $1

Acuna - $1
Tough one

can you make a trade where you get additional $ to spend, or a 2 for 1 trade?
Does Bryant have OF eligibility?

If not then cut Machado.
Sugar better value for SS and Bryant better value for 3b. Acuna and Pham will be good OF for cheap.

You can trade auction dollars midseason, but not now, to my knowledge. Although I'm not sure anyone has every tried to. This is actually our first season doing an auction. The values are tied to the round that the players would have been kept in, had we stayed in the traditional model.
Question...

12 Team Keeper league in which each team keeps 11 players year to year. New to the league inheriting a terrible team. I have the first pick. Here are some of my options...

Ohtani
AJ Pollock
Nola
Bogaerts
Kyle Seager
Khris Davis
Paxton
Garret Cole

Leaning heavily towards Ohtani, but thinking about Nola and Pollock as well. Need someone who has short-term upside, but could also be elite in a year or two. Any suggestions?
I'd say release Machado

Just based on the value you'd save on the other guys.
I’d be concerned about Pham

I get that he’s a nice player for a good value, but he also is a constant injury risk that could give you headaches. I try to avoid players that are perpetually injured
Pham

He’s obviously great value at $1, but his home run per fly ball percentages from last year will be nearly impossible to duplicate. I’d be very weary of dropping Machado in a walk year
