Keep or Kut K ꓘ 124 - Keeper Valuations for Drafts
Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) have to make some keeper decisions for their two listener leagues and are thinking about how to best value keepers in a draft league vs. auction league. ADP, player projections, and more come into play as they outline who they are keeping, what trades they made, and why. Why is Chad keeping Esteury Ruiz? How does Mookie Betts's keeper value compare to other players, given a 1st round price tag? What did it cost Pete to acquire Corbin Carroll?
