re: 2013 TDBL (Keepers Due 3/12 at 11pm, Slow Draft 3/19)

If he makes zero trades, I would honestly keep 11 bats and one pitcher:

C Salvador Perez
C Travis d'Arnaud
C Victor Martinez
1B Anthony Rizzo
1B Mike Olt
1B Chris Carter
2B Dustin Pedroia
3B Will Middlebrooks
3B Nick Castellanos
SS Miguel Sano
SS Javier Baez
SP Jon Lester

He can see which of those prospects pan out, and expect to keep 8 of these guys in the future. V-Mart obviously should be traded to a contender for a draft pick or something. He will also need to decide who he wants out of Perez and d'Arnaud and attempt to trade the other one. Rizzo, Pedroia, Middlebrooks, and Sano, and Lester should be locks to stick around.

Jury would still be out on what to do with Chris Carter, Mike Olt, Castellanos (who i like), and Baez.

Yeah, its a clusterfrick.
