The Best Fantasy Baseball Team I've ever drafted

[L.A. Chieffan]

I got my draft tomorrow night for a keeper league. Any tips on a good cheat sheet for a keeper league?

I like Baseball Prospectus and Rotowire.

It's hard to find good keeper info unless you pay for it, though.

What's your keeper format? Snake draft?

12 teams, snake draft, head to head. First year of what will be multi year league but we just finished up a several year period and we're starting over.

7x7 with 2bs and 3bs, CG and SHO as added categories. Shit I just hope I luck out and get Trout

How will your keeper rules work?

Sacrifice the pick of the round you drafted a guy? I know some leagues move up the round you lose by 1 each year (so if you keep a guy drafted in round 5, you lose a 4th round pick in the draft).

With those categories, it changes the values of some guys. Alex Gordon becomes more valuable when you're looking at HR AND 2B AND 3B, for example. He'd give you true 7 category production.

Three true outcome guys like Adam Dunn become even less valuable.

Unless you're picking at the top and can nab a sure thing guys like Braun, Cabrera or Trout, you're probably going to be targeting keepers in later rounds. Maybe you get a pitcher on the cusp of ace status in round 6 (Matt Moore?) or a hitter who is a lock/top 5 pick in coming years (Bryce Harper).

How many are you keeping? Don't chase ALL keepers. YOu want enough to have some backup plans moving forward, but not so many that your team is crippled this year.

I like Jedd Gyorko as a sneaky later round guy.

Matt Harvey also might make some sense.
