I traded most of my semi-decent players and non-keepers for high draft picks, and picked up some rookies in their place. Somehow, I'm still in a playoff spot.

I have my eye towards next year, but I can keep 5 players only in a 16-team keeper league; who would you keep?

C - Montero
1B - C. Carter, Wallace
2B - LeMahieu
SS - Ramirez, Profar
3B - Lawrie, Olt
OF - Hamilton, Pagan, Crisp, Venable, Mayberry, Will Myers

SP - Cueto, Harvey, Parker, Medlen, Bauer, Bundy, Skaggs, Iwakuma
RP - Shelby Miller, Walden, Javier Lopez

If it helps, I have 15 picks in the first 7 rounds of the draft, so I'm confident I can draft some of the hot rookies out there if I don't keep them this year.

Thanks!

Han-ram, Lawrie, Profar, Hamilton, Cueto.

Thanks guys for the advice! I should've pointed out that I have Alex Ramirez from the Sox. lol

I'm leaning towards Hamilton, Cueto, Profar, Lawrie, and Bauer.

Any thoughts?

Bauer gets too much love imo.
WILL BE GOOD, BUT I HAVE DOUBTS JUST HOW MUCH.
Bundy has a higher upside by a lot.

Cueto is good, but has had 2 lucky seasons.
A xFIP of 3.90 and 3.61.
He just can't sustain the 6-7% hr/fb ratio, and strand rates of 80%.

There are 4 locks really

Hamilton
Hanley
Lawrie
Profar

If you want biggest upside, Bundy,then Myers.

For me, the last spot is between,

Montero, who has 30 hr power, just wait,
Harvey, the most underrated young SP,
Medlen
