I just posted my keepers in my 14-team, $300 auction league (15 hitters, 9 pitchers, 10 bench). I had some tough calls and had to lean on Baseball Prospectus - Flags Fly Forever to make the final choices.
I kept:
C - Travis d'Arnaud ($7 - two-catcher league)
OF - Trout (16)
OF - Harper (13)
OF - Carlos Gonzalez (24)
OF - AJ Pollock (5)
OF - Ben Revere (8)
P - Sale (12)
P - Price (28)
P - Jose Fernandez (8)
Had some tough guys to let go... Adrian Gonzalez (38), Jean Segura (13) and Chris Owings (7) were the hardest choices. I'm going to have to be aggressive on draft day chasing infielders.
I also am planning right now to spend large on one ace type (it looks like King Felix will get released, and he's the top target). I like the idea of using some of my surplus value to stack my pitching staff. Offensively, I want to spread my cash around quite a bit. I have the star power already... just need to spread out my money and be solid in a lot of places rather than excellent in one.
I want to spend about $30 on one hitter (Pujols - Gonzalez - Cano) and then spread the rest of it around on solid but not spectacular guys.
