Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) take a look at ADP and find players whose draft cost makes them already look like potential keepers for next year. We're not talking the rookies or injured players you expect, but players who we think the market is simply undervaluing and whose ADP will be much earlier in 2026.

Timestamps

5:35 - Pitchers whose new homes have impacted our thinking, including Garrett Crochet to Fenway and Corbin Burnes to the desert

16:17 - Same, but for hitters, this time talking Josh Naylor, Teoscar Hernandez, and a tangent for Chad to gripe about his Guardians.

22:07 - Looking at players whose ADP offers keeper value, starting with Bowden Francis

29:05 - Chad isn’t telling you Luis L. Ortiz is an ace, but the price is free and the upside is real.

36:16 - Jake McCarthy isn’t flashy but he projects to 10/30.

44:56 - Jorge Soler going to the best power park of his career.

53:57 - Brandon Lowe, as late as he is going, might be the best power source you can get at 2B.

58:19 - Luis Garcia Jr. is the 7th 2B off the board and Chad still sees keeper value at that cost

1:01:25 - Nolan Gorman will at least get PA, and remember how good he looked?

1:05:04 - Chad is ready to talk more Isaac Paredes

Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) break down some of their keeper league settings decisions, such as IL slots and the costs associated with keeping players added via FAAB. Chad also explains the different strategies he uses to make difficult keeper decisions.

7:05 - What are the pros and cons of having your keeper league’s prospect draft before the draft/auction?

18:00 - What is the appropriate number of IL spots for a keeper league?

27:08 - Should a keeper league limit the amount of FAAB-pickups that can be kept?

31:26 - Should FAAB keepers cost a last-round pick, or should they be a little more expensive?

39:52 - How Chad ranks his keeper options

53:40 - Is there ever a situation where you keep less than the maxmimum number of allowed keepers, even if the players you leave off technically have “value” at their cost?

1:01:10 - How does the amount of allowed keepers affect Chad’s thought process when selecting his keepers?
