Usually the ace start unless I'm super confident in the lesser two-steps

H2H Categories (OBP instead of AVG and QS instead of W). I can keep 10 players and we have a $500 budget. My for sure keepers are Gunnar ($70), Wood ($8), Skubal ($26), Ragans ($26), Alcantara ($8), Hunter Brown ($27), and Peralta ($46). For the last 3 spots I have to choose from Yainer Diaz ($16), Casas ($28), Altuve ($31), Abrams ($26), Holliday ($26), Yelich ($33), Springs ($8), Zebby ($8), or Thorpe ($8). If you were running my somehow underperforming team, who would you keep for next year?

Is A. Chapman the closer in PIT? He’s been great lately but only got a hold last night.

Think it'll be a committee ROS
He might get the most chances but don't think it'll be all of them

looking at picking up a closer… is J. Martinez or A. Chapman a better bet going forward?

Martinez

12 Player keeper league with 32 roster spots, 21 active at any time. How many would you ideally devote to prospects? Also, what would be your pitching-hitting split. 18 categories 9 hitting, 9 pitching, roughly split between rate and counting stats.

In a vacuum where you're not doing a complete teardown - with 12 keepers, I'd only be looking to keep just a couple of elite prospects, and they'd probably all be bats. Unless it's a top-tier SP that's close to the majors
General advice - don't get too hypnotized by exciting prospects (especially SPs) who are still a few years away.

Alright, thanks everyone!
Gotta cut this and do some writing for today's article/pick up my kids.
As always, thanks for the great questions and I'll be back next week on Monday at 12 EST
