I'm in a 12-team keeper league H2H. Currently I'm in 6th, but I'm getting spanked this week, and I just don't like the makeup of my team. Anyway, many people have grabbed a lot of top prospects, and I'm building towards next year. Should I grab him now and hope he gets a little PT later in the season and then is their everyday shortstop, or should I grab someone like Orlando Arcia instead?

10. goes up $3 each year, obviously Free Agent pick ups start at $0.

My problem is guys like Abreu, Gomez, Stroman, Wacha are sucking arse, so I don't even have many keepers. I was positioned to win this year, now I'm trying to build for next

How much do you know about prospects? Is Swanson the best one available? Or you just onto him cause he is a big name?

My bench is open. We don't have a transaction limit so I have 4 spots open that I rotate between streamers, relievers, and plug in players for players who have off days.

As far as prospects go, I stay on top of them well, but so does the other 12 teams. Uriah, Taillon, Glasnow, Bregman and about 8 other prospects have been on teams since the draft or picked up recently. There are some other decent prospects out there, I have Hunter Renfroe on the bench already. I'm probably going to go with Orlando Arcia over Swanson because Swanson still has Albies, too.

Bregman I assume is gone?

Buxton?

Moncada?

Alex Reyes?

AJ reed?

Wilson comtreras?


Albies is still just 19 and hasn't hit at all at AAA. I still like Swanson ahead of him, who could move to 2b eventually

Reyes is available. All the others are taken. We have 2 players that literally just pick up prospects and don't give a shite if they lose nonstop. So it's slim pickens with prospects

Yea, I like Reyes, and I love STL for a pitcher...but where does he fit in the rotation?

If you want a big up and coming bat: R Devers.

could see time in the bullpen this year and could fight for a rotation spot next.

Devers is 19 and hitting .212 in A ball. I don't think he's rosterable in a 12 team keeper league


I'd look at Joe Musgrove for the Astros if you're looking at guys who are close

Grab Tim Anderson

His K rate wont play, but it's worth a shot
