The Way-Too-Early Keepers Thread.

Chris Davis (1B-Bal) F1 Franchise Player
Freddie Freeman (1B-Atl) 21st Round Cost
Jason Castro (C-Hou) 25th Round Cost
Martin Perez (SP-Tex) 25th Round Cost
Alex Wood (SP-Atl) 25th Round Cost

Let the mocking begin

[Attitude Adjuster]

That's actually good value, there. Although the 25th rounders are actually 24th round. Waiver pcikups are the same as a last-round draftee.

My tentative Keepers are:
Tim Lincecum (13th round)
Brett Lawrie (21st round)
Dan Straily (23rd round)
Jarrod Parker (23rd round)--thanks, Dev!
Jonathan Lucroy (23rd round)

Good trade values
Neftali Feliz (17th round)
Josh Hamilton (13th round)

[Road Warrior Shark]

Last season's draft, all the keeper values started at 25. I figured waiver pickups & Minor leaguers were treated as a Round 27 to arrive at that value.

If it's 24, then Ok. But how did we have all those 25th round keepers last draft?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Oh let's see... choosing from:

Jean Segura (24th rd)
Wil Myers (24th rd)
Yasiel Puig (24th rd)
Matt Harvey (23rd rd)
Stephen Strasburg (19th rd)
Carlos Gonzalez (17th rd)
Hisashi Iwakuma (15th rd)
Chase Utley (9th rd)
Carlos Gomez (8th rd)
Jake Peavy (6th rd)
Carl Crawford (4th rd)

Numbering might be off but there are some great bargains there if you need a keeper.

[Attitude Adjuster]

Round 27 has always been considered a Supplemental Round for those who traded away too many picks. Now that I look back, I guess we saw Waiver picks as 27th round picks, so the first year Keeper cost of a non-drafted player would be the 25th round. Ignore my earlier ramblings. I'm old and forgetful.

[Army Dice Clay]

Guarenteed keepers with cost (I think):
Mike Trout - 21
Shelby Miller - 25
Matt Carpenter - 25

Possible Keepers with cost (I think):
Joe Mauer (F1)
Jordan Zimmerman (F2) - 9
Kris Medlan - 23
David Freese - 15
Clay Buchholz - 18
Chris Archer - 25
Chris Tillman - 22
Matt Wieters (F1)

If anyone on the list of possibles (or anyone other than Mike Trout basically) interests you, let me know. Like other people, I'd take a lower round pick for pretty much any of these guys.

[DevSop]

Still looking to make some trades here. I have a lot more than 5 options for next season and am just looking for picks or even maybe a 2/1 keeper type deal.

Cliff Lee, Patrick Corbin, Evan Longoria, Adam Jones, Dom Brown, Brian McCann...so many others available.

[Pun]

Tentative keeper list:

Yu Darvish (21st round)
Bryce Harper (23rd round)
Jeff Samardizja (22nd round
Anthony Rizzo (24th round)
Julio Teheran (25th round)

Same here. If you're not sold on your 5 keepers, I have some great values.

Reminder: Keepers are locked in on February 1.

Does anyone have the final rosters saved? ESPN is down and I can't get at mine.

Sorry, Sparty. Best I can do is tell you who you drafted, through this site. How many years have you been in this league and gone through ESPN's annual shutdown?

[Attitude Adjuster]

My Keepers. No more Josh Hamilton.

Tim Lincecum (13th round)
Brett Lawrie (21st round)
Dan Straily (23rd round)
Jarrod Parker (23rd round)
Jonathan Lucroy (23rd round)

Usually I do, this year, I forgot.

Looking back at last year's thread, we allowed for a few days extra so ESPN could come back up. It came back up Feb. 5 last year. I know 3 of my keepers, but really need to remember who the rest of my team was.

[Attitude Adjuster]

You're probably safe because of that. Mostly because Mike and I haven't put together the draft order, and unless Mikey has the order WE don't have the order because ESPN is down. The good thing is the draft doesn't start until February 17.

[DevSop]

In case they have to be finalized, I want a list here at least

Evan Longoria
Cliff Lee
Zach Wheeler
Adam Jones
Patrick Corbin

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Ah Christ...

Wil Myers (24th rd)
Yasiel Puig (24th rd)
Matt Harvey (23rd rd)
Stephen Strasburg (19th rd)
Carlos Gonzalez (17th rd)

[Army Dice Clay]

Bye bye Joe Mauer. It's been a good run. I drafted him in our inaugural draft and I've had him ever since. Love ya, miss ya.

Jordan Zimmerman - F1
Mike Trout - 21
Kris Medlan - 23
Shelby Miller - 25
Matt Carpenter - 25

[Sparty]

I know I'm keeping these guys...

Justin Verlander
Troy Tulowitzki (F1)
Edwin Encarnacion
Manny Machado

I need to take a look at my full roster to determine the last one.

[metstradamus]

I have four that I can lock down right now:

Michael Wacha (ML)
Justin Masterson (I believe I picked him up as a free agent during the season)
Steve Shields (Franchise)
Paul Goldschmidt (I think this is an 8th round cost tenth round cost)

Still deciding the last one. I have a young third baseman from Colorado and a disgraced outfielder from Milwaukee I'm going back and forth on. If anybody wants either of these players, hit me up ... though it looks like most of you have your lists locked down already.

[Attitude Adjuster]

I'll double check the round values when we create the draft order. If there's any differences between what's here and what will be there, shoot me a note for the reason.

[Mikey]

All right, all right, all right...

Joey Votto
David Price
Alex Cobb
Matt Moore
Hanley Ramirez
