How many years do you get to keep Chapman in the 17th round?

Cueto has out pitched his xFIP the last three years. I like the upside of Chapman and I like his draft slot. I would go with him. That's just me. Tough choice for sure.

    For now, it is one round inflation each year. I got him in the 18th last year. People are a little pissed off about Trout and Harper being kept in the 18/19 round this year, we'll see if the one round inflation sticks around.

    I'm a Reds fan and have been following Chapman closely for awhile, and I would actually keep him over Cueto. His upside is Randy Johnson, his downside is lights-out closer like we saw last year. Expect some growing pains and an innings cap of some sort this year as he transitions to the rotation. But long term he's better than Cueto, and their ADP is close this year so you're getting better vaue by keeping the lower draft pick.

    Also, I'm not in this league but don't want to create another fantasy thread. What do you guys think of this team. Its a 12 team league, H2H, non keeper, just straight standard draft. No restrictions. What do you guys think are my strengths and weakness'? (Apologies in advance for taking up so much space)

    C - Napoli
    1B - Votto
    2B - Pedroia
    3B - Ramirez
    SS - Asdrubal Cabrera
    OF - Stanton
    OF - Adrian Gonzalez
    OF - Morse
    OF - Ichiro
    Util - Konerko
    Util - Morales
    BN - Hart
    BN - Peralta
    BN - Bay (maybe he'll rebound)
    --------------
    SP - Bumgarner
    SP - Gallardo
    SP - Josh Johnson
    SP - Lance Lynn
    RP - John Axford
    RP - Betancourt
    P - Josh Beckett
    P - Ernesto Frieri
    P - Bucholz
    P - Justin Masterson
    P - Beachy
    Strengths: HRs, lots of power-hitting 1B types who you could trade for...
    Weaknesses: SP and SBs. Not a fan of your rotation at all. I'd try to swap AGon for a Hamels/Weaver/Cain ace.

    ARam or HanRam at 3B?

    I think Kemp/Ethier/Sale win big time. Kemp and McCutchen are both studs, but Rios is inconsistent (look at his 2011 number), and if Ethier can stay healthy he can be a monster. And Sale has a much brighter future than Wilson.

    Agreed on all counts. I wouldn't bank on Bay rebounding, he's such a lost cause...reminds me of Adam Lind who I believe I referenced earlier in this thread a year ago. I'd rather put a young prospect on that bench rather than him. And your rotation is terrible. Too many injury risks and/or crappy guys.

    Yea my pitching staff is always weak after the draft. I'm a big believer in picking up pitchers during the season. So many pitchers come out and have big seasons when they weren't supposed to or unknown.

    11 of 12 paid and it is 3/17, the dues deadline.

    There is ONE team available, has the following 5 keepers and has the 4th pick in the draft (out of 12):

    JVotto
    IKinsler
    PSandoval
    YGallardo
    GGonzalez

    PM me if interested; first person to pay the $20 dues for this team will get it.

    Can I take that team instead of mine?

    But seriously, I just looked at everyone's keepers and I'm in trouble... Especially having the last pick.

    My bad. I've been swamped at work. I just sent the money. If someone else jumped on it, no big deal, just send the money back. If not, we're good.

    I don't care. I'm in 6 leagues already. It would have been my smallest investment for a team so my attention would have suffered. Good luck with your money in his account though with him sending me my money back with a statement of "dues". Payout may be a bit less with the fees that PayPal might charge him

    I disagree. Ethier can't hit lefties to save his life and i have a feeling Rios will produce the same as last year.

    Sale is definitely an upgrade over Wilson but I think it isn't as extreme as you think because you are underestimating Rios compared to Ethier.

    They lowered out keepers to 5. I'm keeping Cano McCutchen Beltre and Fielder. Last one will either be Ellsbury Or Bumgarner. Help.

    Ellsbury is risky given his recent injury problems, but his upside is tremendous if he can return to form. Bumgarner is also a solid keeper...I don't think you can really go wrong with either one, but I personally would take Bumgarner.

    Looking like a terrible call now by me Re: this trade, Yahoo ranking as of 7/20/13:
    Kemp 421
    Ethier 415
    Sale 41

    McCutchen 19
    Rios 65
    Wilson 174

    Looking like a solid forecast at least as of now, Yahoo ranking as of 7/20/13:

    Gio 83
    Bumgarner 22
    Weaver 268
    Medlen 383
    Cueto 229

He's just too unpredictable to me. Look at Naftali Feliz last season...similar background and outlook heading into the rotation but then got hurt and ended up basically worthless.

    So that leaves Holliday and Jones. Holliday is solid but his stock is definitely declining, while Adam Jones had a breakout year last year and his stock is going up, plus he'll contribute more SB than Holliday. Holliday is 33 years old; Jones is 27. If you don't keep Jones, you'll regret it. If you keep Holliday, you'll only have a couple of good years before he tails off.
    Another solid call at least for now...7/20/13 Yahoo ranking:

    Adam Jones 7
    Holliday 63
    Chapman 79
    Hanley 209
    Headley 413
