Baseball Keeper Q

[ISU74]

10th spot in snake draft. Allowed 1 positional keeper and you give up the round in which he was drafted last year. If not drafted you give up the last round pick.

Keep Bo Bichette (round 4 LY) or Wander (FA LY)

I'll get two top 11 picks in this years draft.

Keep Bo or Wander?

Bobo for me. Top 5 player to go with two top 11 picks, that's some serious firepower.

 

[King Slap]

Wander

I'm assuming two top 11 picks means you're on the turn at the end of round 1 in a ten team league

Assuming most of your opponents keep a first or second round talent, the draft will have the following talent levels:

1st round - Mix of remaining first and second round guys
2nd round - Third round guys
3rd round - Fourth round guys
4th round - Fifth round guys
5th round - Sixtth round guys

Wander is slotting in the low 50s, so he's like a sixth round guy

So if you take Bichette, who's universally ranked in the top 5, you'll end up with:

1st/2nd round guy (1st rounder)
1st/2nd round guy (2nd rounder)
Fourth round guy (3rd rounder)
Top 5 overall guy (for your 4th rounder)
Sixth round guy (5th rounder)
Seventh round guy (6th rounder)

If you take Wander, it keeps your draft capital in tact, but the overall talent level drops:

1st/2nd round guy (1st rounder)
1st/2nd round guy (2nd rounder)
Fourth round guy (3rd rounder)
Fifth round guy (4th rounder)
Sixth round guy (5th rounder)
Sixth round guy (Last round pick)

Give me Bo all day every day.

Thanks Gandolf and Slap!
