Max Fried Shaky at first, settled in the second half to be as stable as anyone. It could be a lot more volatility in the season ahead making for some tough decisions and plenty of headaches. Im in a keep 15 league and seem to have more SP keepers than bats and all at good prices ($5 raise each year, $320 cap for the 15 players at keeper submission time). I did sell off a couple of lesser keepers, but I kept my core. Martinez-$19 Little track record of this level of success, though, and does he have 190+ IP stamina in him? 2B,SS,Of Lux $15 FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis, ROS Top 200 Fantasy Hockey Rankings for 2022-23. I could either try to scrap for an unlikely money finish or I could start building what I hoped would be a long-term successful team.

We can only keep 2 players, and we have randomized snake draft format: The San Diego Padres will have a decision on their hands once both Urias and Tatis are major-league ready, but Urias' hit tool gives him a good chance at batting-average success -- and his glove is capable enough to stay at short. The Phillies make 3 and so on. I think the five you list are very good. We are using the KDS and I would opt for a late pick in Round 1.

Diaz has an appealing combination of pop and speed. Am I just thinking too much? so hard to drop any of those 5 young stars in the making in a keeper. Fantasy baseball roundtable: Who is the No. If Chapman can only raise his launch angle, a 30-homer season won't be far off. Hes expected to get more play in the rotation next year and may turn heads out of the gate if the breaker is on point. Hopefully pitch efficiency takes a step forward. I think it will be very important to have two elite pitchers this year, so I keep Sale and Buehler. Not a fan of in-season salary caps as it limits trading, but I like your way of thinking . If your league used more keepers Id for sure go Bryants as hes younger, but with just 5 keepers every year, they they shouldnt be too hard to come by, so I go with Murphy. We have been with Fantrax for several years but considering a change. SS Bichette $21 Lindor and Torres are two of the most complete talents at the position, with great odds of being fantasy superstars for the next decade. SP Verlander $15, Severino $10 This is a player that can really take a big step forward in the 2022 season. Have him for $6.

My basic take is that if youre thinking more than two or three years ahead, youre thinking too much. In fact, theres a virtual Baskin Robbins of keeper league flavors and no one way to win any of them. Ive seen what works (first hand), and Ive seen what doesnt (unfortunately, also first hand). The minor league rosters in most keeper leagues are pretty limited. McClanaham $10 Jos Berros I call him The Flag as he undulates between elite and pedestrian through the season, ultimately landing on an ERA between 3.50 and 3.90. Eduardo Rodriguez The four-seamer was great, the rest was not. Love to talk deep league stuff. Im hoping to get rid of some of those valleys in the next few years while still winning my share of leagues. Its a limited ceiling, but if you need volume, Stroman has you covered. I can keep Salvy for $17 this yr (can freeze next yr at the same price). Chris Archer $25 Fantasy Baseball Keeper League Strategy for 2023: Lets Talk!

OF Charlie Blackmon Great for Quality Start leagues, ratios are a little questionable and inconsistent, though. An excellent fastball featured up in the zone + a legit breaker. Ill know better. In one keeper league Im in, you get the player for three years at his auction price. Four-seamer is still an elite Called Strike% pitch. In fact, during the latter parts of each season I target setup men I think could move into closer roles soon. Think Id go with him even with the discount on Realmuto. Kyle Muller Love the stuff mid-90s fastball with a whiffable slider and curveball needs refinement and a rotation spot to blossom. Foltynewicz-$3 Finnegan also showed improved control and the ability to miss more bats during a solid 2022 campaign. I'm a bit more wary of Ohtani in dynasty leagues where you're locking him in year over year as opposed to projecting an individual future year, as he still possesses "top of the rotation" talent, will be an "in the middle of his prime" 27 years old come 2022 and, if he does eventually require Tommy John surgery, he'll probably have had it and already recovered from it by then. I question if his four-seamer and cutter are enough to repeat next year, though, and a decline from a 3.61 ERA and 1.25 WHIP doesnt make for a fun draft target. Sleeper: Keibert Ruiz (23). Nick Markakis-$3 Is Chris Paddack owned? J.D. Kenta Maeda (RHP, MIN) Maeda was brilliant in 2020 with his slider and splitter getting a ton of chases + a fastball he could sneak into the zone for the strikes.

Dumped the stars for prospects and keepers, finished about 7th but won the league two of the next three years. I want more I want two elite starters this year so Id keep Snell and Sale for sure. Last year Realmuto was the high mark in our auction for $20 so not sure I get the value out of keeping him either. His trio of secondaries curveball, cutter, changeup have been elite in the past, though we never saw all three working this year. Joe Musgrove Fluctuated a bit through the year and dealt with a tough schedule. We are the most customizable, easy-to-use, and feature-rich Best of the rest: Jorge Alfaro (28) and Mike Zunino (31). This is a weaker position than you might think, from a prospects standpoint, but Alonso is one of the good ones. Adell is 19 and in high Class-A ball, but so far as a professional he hasn't had much trouble posting .250-plus isolated power and at least a 5.0 percent homer rate (based on a percentage of his trips to the plate). Gerrit Cole-$29 The fantasy baseball season just ended and before we all hibernate, run the numbers, and produce polished projections, I feel its important that I put out what I like to call my rough draft of February 2022s Top 200 Starting Pitchers when my opinions and thoughts of 2021 are still fresh. Urias' ceiling was that of one of the best pitchers in fantasy, and with positive reports on his rehab thus far, he could recapture that status by 2022.

Ive lucked into $5 closers more than a few times doing this. 5. Tough call on the trade. He's the real deal and the one prospect pick to legitimately challenge a .300 batting average and 40 homers in the same year. Still had his fair share of disasters when it was gone, though. Another off-season building up could be fruitful after a year of getting his feet back under him. Peralta $11 In any case, managers have nothing to do with game management in this era but he is a fool with a microphone in front of his face and it is hard to tolerate. Ill share some of my thoughts on the best ways to run a successful keeper league team. If the slider is always there, Gilbert will excel. document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id", "a5ad4bdf72e5f9700079ec0ca612f74b" );document.getElementById("fe53143262").setAttribute( "id", "comment" ); Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Devers, meanwhile, is a personal favorite, with much better raw power potential than people give him credit. Wants every pitcher to be dope. Nola seems too low to me. Yu Darvish Hes the premiumCherry Bombas his command fluctuates from start to start. His WHIP could be better than 1.20, though, and thats something you shouldnt ignore. I generally value hitting more than pitching, and I do consider age (perhaps that is an error) but I was thinking of going; Not sure about dropping Trea obviously, but age 30 season after a big contractI feel these 5 are all rare talents at a young age hopefully setting up a core for quite some time. Then I go with J.D. I have to rebuild my pitching staff after finishing last in pitching in a 10-team, NL-only auction keeper league.
