Ongoing slow draft in 16 team keeper league. 6x6 (standard 10 plus OBP and HLD) My team so far. What do you think?

Might be too young but should be exciting to root for.

No Catcher yet
Hosmer 1B (k)
Cuddyer 2B
Dee Gordon SS
Lawrie 3B (k)
Jennings LF (k)
BJ Upton CF (k)
Bruce RF (k)
Stanton UTIL (k)

Latos SP (k)
Anibal Sanchez SP
Chris Sale SP
Derek Holland SP

Marmol RP
Kenley Jansen RP
Frank Francisco RP

Looks like it's a solid team so far... You have more than enough steals already, try and find some power... Also, try and find a trustworthy SP, you have enough upside with your pitching...

Your average might be awful though.

Yeah there's a chance the team will turn out to be ugly if most of the upside guys flop. I just added the unsexy name but should be dependable O'Flaherty as a HLD guy. I was looking at Bastardo and his higher upside but figured ATL will probably have more HLD chances.

(The pickin's are getting slim now)

I'll see what I can dig up at SP. Lilly?

Yeah, I don't mind Lilly on this team.

Actually I see Lilly is consistently stronger in the 2nd half; sometimes the difference is neglible but sometimes big. Maybe I will make a cheap trade for him around June instead.

Wandy, the Magic, is another choice. But 10 wins is the ceiling it looks like... terrible offense behind him, and mediocre pen...

Baby Smurfs are complete!

SS- Dee Gordon
3B- Lawrie

CF- BJ Upton
RF- Bruce
DH- Stanton

Reserves: Craig Allen, Alex Presley, Yunel Escobar, Headley, Hundley

SPs: Latos, Anibal Sanchez, Sale, Derek Holland, Wandy, Trevor Bauer
RPs: Marmol, Frank Francisco, Jansen, O'Flaherty, Kerry Wood

It looks like Bauer will start the year in the Minors so I am undecided whether to keep or not (probably will). Some scary injury news so far but I am keeping fingers crossed.

Nice work, Papa Smurf. Team is looking to rebound big time from last year, right? I like the hitting a lot, your pitching is a bit risky/a mess. You're gonna need to battle with starters and for saves...

Yes the Smurfs are looking to rebound from a lifetime-worst 9th place finish (out of 16).

Decided to go with some upside rather than the hohum vet. Since offense is down nowadays I figured pitching stats should be easier to scrap together.

The pitching's (instead of hitting for a change) probably gonna make me wanna beat up Brainy Smurf for recreation. I hope he bought a bigger helmet this yr!

My young'uns had such nice springs but are off to rough starts. Only Lawrie is finally turning it around.

Thank the smurf gods for Cuddyer and FA hero Reimold so far. The rest of the offense quite pathethic. I have two hits out of catcher so far... LOL. And Stanton is a concern with the knee and a huge home park... but it feels like he's close to dong number one.
