Backdoor Slider 8,292 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 We keep up to 8, forever. I’m in “win-now mode” with these keepers: Mookie Betts OF (27) Cody Bellinger 1B (24) Trea Turner SS (27) Juan Soto OF (21) Walker Buehler SP (26) Keston Hiura 2B (23) Lucas Giolito SP (25) Aaron Judge OF (28) I’m unsure what to do with Judge. If he’s out months, it’ll really hurt. Here are my options: 1) Keep Judge 2) Keep Gavin Lux instead (great keeper but may not help a ton this year) 3) Keep 7 and keep the 8th round pick and grab best available What would you do?

Heretic 138 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 What's your wire going to look like? Will you have a dead spot in the lineup entirely (starting a 4th OF or something) or will it be say the 37th OF (12 team mixed start 3)? If it's not horrifying, I think I like the 2nd option best. Better to move on too soon, and get a quality piece (though only partially this year). Plus Judge is on the backside of your window group, so booting him for Lux, while lessening your potential peak this year, it definitely will extend your window somewhat. No chance Lux gets back to you at your 9th round pick? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No chance Lux gets back to you at your 9th round pick? 11 teams, start 5 OF. Plus MI, CI, and DH. Not too worried about my offense overall. But yeah, there will be 30+ OF kept. I think I could certainly get Lux back. One team for sure is in full rebuild (keeping Wander) so I could see him grabbing him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heretic 138 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 If you think Lux would be there in the 9th, then I think I'd keep 7, look at the board at the 8th pick and take Best Avail, then grab Lux in the 9th. If best avail is meh, just take Lux and go from there. Steals you at least a chance at a "better" keep than Lux 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Backdoor Slider 8,292 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hadn’t considered him much early (because no room) but would anyone consider keeping Franmil over Judge and Lux in this scenario? 24 years old, big spring so far, 37 HR last season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOOTIE 1,086 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Wouldn't franmil be easier to get in draft then lux? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's a much cleaner replacement for Judge, power hitting OF. BUT he's also probably a lesser asset to Lux longer term. Frankly you might be choosing between them at 8 and 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thebestpr21 41 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Overall, I lile Lux. However, you have stud OFs, I might actually keep Judge and hope he doesnt miss too much. I think its an acceptable risk based on your roster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rush2112 4,320 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Judge stays, throw back you're 5th & 7th players. Keep Lux & another offensive piece in those spots. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Rush! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thenewwildone8 825 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I’m not as high on Lux as the others here, and think Judge is easily better the next few years so I’d just roll with him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
