I might do that, although given my keeper options at this point in the season there's almost no point. Might instead just pick up a guy who starts in the minors who I epxect to make an impact this year (i ahve at least one in mind).

Similar to last year, I'll keep a list all year so people can track who is keepable. Unlike last year, I'll share it now, so you can see the updates whenever I make them.
link to sheet
Warning: if a player gets dropped and I don't add him to the "dropped" column in time and you trade for him and later find out he's not keepable that's on you! this sheet for entertainment purposes only etc
all ages should be updated for NEXT year btw, so if someone seems too old it's because i'm aiming for their ~apr 1 2018 age

Thanks for the spreadsheet, Will! Seeing that made me feel better about my keeper situation. It also reminded me that eight years of Kershaw (best draft pick I ever made) are ending this year -- if I'm out of it mid-season, guess who's going to be available!

thinking about your offer, Nick. it's not bad, but leaves me in a pinch for the 27-29 range. will get back to you in a day or two.
i might want to flip Mazara for an older OF who is performing a little better, if anyone is interested!

Bogart was leading the league in AVG up until a few weeks ago – and so far has a career high OPS (.849) (only 2 HR but 8-0 in SB). maybe not MVP-level great, but he's doing pretty damn well. Esp for a guy you got at #233!
and thank you for Cain, btw!
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 5 June 2017 19:25 (six years ago) link
ha ha you're welcome, i don't feel too bad since i dropped him for Avisail Garcia. i figured Cain might not win me the league this year either way, I had to start doing hail marys with my OF after Marte was suspended.
funny thing tho i picked up Cain on waivers a couple seasons back when I won the league. perhaps he will help you become more "able" to win this year too.
