Keeper Help!

by walnut falcons on Aug 6, 2025 2:04 PM EDT

I joined a deep keeper league this season, and did what I could with a not-so-great inherited team. I was told that the number of keepers was 10, but just recently found out that they are expanding the league to 12 this offseason, and so our number of MLB keepers is going from 10 to 6. I'm stressing about the cuts, and any input would be appreciated.

Hitters to potentially keep: Posey, Lawrie, Heyward, Beltre, Andrus, Jennings, Gordon, Freese, Freeman, Altuve

Pitchers: Moore, Wainwright, Shields, Hellickson, Parker, Josh Johnson, Niese

It is a weekly league that tends to slightly favor pitching.

(If the cuts were to be made today, I would lean towards Posey/Lawrie/Heyward/Moore/Parker/Wainwright)

im not far off dbacks

posey, lawrie, heyward, moore, wainwright, and probably andrus, just because you aren’t going to be able to get a better SS in the draft

you don’t want to go too heavy with pitching because of it’s inherent volatility, and i tend to lean towards upside but i wouldn’t argue with you taking parker over moore based on security.

thats for the responses

seems like I wasn’t far off. The main question, for me, seems to be Hellickson v. Parker. I got Hellickon in a package that shipped Bautista off, so I may have some incentive there.

In other news, someone just dropped Grandal and I won the claim. Now I will be able to stash him as a minor league keeper (unless he clears 150 ABs—highly unlikely.) Problem is, that leaves me tempted to dangle Posey for either a ton of picks, or another young, keeper-worthy player. It’s risky, but could work.
