2013 Draft Prep: 12-team, H2H keeper league draft

Nando Di Fino
Senior Fantasy Writer
  •  

You asked, and we delivered.

Actually, you didn't specifically ask for a keeper mock draft. You hammered us on Twitter, e-mail and even in person with specific keeper queries:

Here are 12 players. Which five should I keep?

I am keeping Trout, Cabrera and Verlander. Which of the following eight players should I keep as my fourth?

I have four keeper spots for these 23 players. [Insert insane keeper loophole involving a minimum number of hitters that must be kept]. Which do you like?

We figured with all these questions, the time had come to just do a keeper mock. So we took a dormant league from last year -- with rosters still loaded -- and had each of our owners pick three keepers. Because we're suckers for semantics and loopholes here at CBSSports.com, we allowed teams to keep fewer than three if lady luck had dealt them a raw hand, meaning that if a team kept only two players, they'd be able to draft from all the unkept players in the third round (whereas the teams keeping three would have their first three rounds used for keepers).

What can you take from this draft? Obviously, a sense of who we like as keepers in a real-world setting. The first three rounds were basically 36 keepers from an actual league, with a couple minor exceptions. But you also get a full head-to-head mock from our analysts and writers, as well as an idea of which players to consider in a keeper format, as well as when to start considering them (and not focus entirely on 2013).

The league consists of ...

1. Ed Gauna, Fantasy Writer
2. Igor Mello, Fantasy Writer
3. Peter Madden, Editorial Director, Fantasy Sports
4. Nando Di Fino, Senior Fantasy Writer
5. Adam Aizer, Fantasy Video/Podcast Host
6. Scott White , Senior Fantasy Writer
7. Jeff Lippman, Fantasy Writer
8. Chris Towers, Fantasy Writer
9. Jeff Tobin, Associate Managing Editor, Fantasy Sports
10. Chris Cwik, CBSSports.com MLB Blogger
11. Al Melchior, Data Analyst
12. Bill Passonno, Fantasy Writer

Some quick observations on the draft:

• Key prospects taken included: Shelby Miller in the 14th round, Wil Myers and Trevor Bauer in the 17th round, Jurickson Profar in the 19th round, Jedd Gyorko and Leonys Martin in the 20th round and Bruce Rondon and Oscar Taveras in the 21st round. By and large, the owners in this mock focused on winning in 2013, opting to look at prospect gambles after starting lineups were filled.

Bryce Harper went with the fourth pick of the fourth round. Stephen Strasburg went with the first pick of the fourth round. This was, essentially, the first full round of drafting after keepers were added to rosters.

Mark Teixeira was taken about 20 minutes before news of his wrist injury came to light.

Aroldis Chapman may turn out to be a steal with the 11th pick of the sixth round.

• An injured Curtis Granderson slipped to the third pick of the seventh round. He could be a nice target in keeper formats, as he was being taken late in the first round in some early mocks.

Editor's Note: The players with an asterisk in the results below represent those each team kept.

Jose Fernandez loses tough one again
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(9:12 pm ET) Marlins starting pitcher Jose Fernandez pitched well enough to win yet again Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, but a lack of run support proved costly yet again, in a 3-1 loss.

Fernandez cruised through the first seven innings of the game, holding the Diamondbacks scoreless before running into trouble in the eighth. He walked two batters and was lifted with one out in the eighth inning, for reliever Mike Dunn, who allowed a three-run homer to the first batter he faced.

Fernandez was charged with two runs in 7 1/3 innings, while pitching into the eighth inning for just the third time in his professional career. Fernandez allowed two runs on three hits and two walks, while striking out four batters in the 3-1 loss. He also threw 71 of 103 pitches for strikes in the game, his second start in a row with at least 100 pitches thrown.

Fernandez now has a 3.05 ERA, and the Marlins seem to be letting him go deeper into games; he has thrown at least 87 pitches in each of his last five starts, after doing so just once in his first nine. He carries a 4-4 record into his next outing, scheduled for Tuesday against the Vikings. 


Josh Kinney needs more time
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(9:01 pm ET) Mariners reliever Josh Kinney continues to pitch during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. Kinney has pitched well over four appearances, MLB.com reports. 

That said, manager Eric Wedge said Kinney still needs more time. Wedge said this is "kind of like spring training for him." 


Stephen Pryor looking at post-break return
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(9:00 pm ET) Mariners reliever Stephen Pryor continues to make slow progress in his recovery from a torn lat muscle, MLB.com reports Wednesday. 

Manager Eric Wedge said that it is unlikely Pryor returns during the first half of the season. He's hoping to begin throwing in Arizona shortly, however. 


Justin Smoak can only play two of three in series
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:58 pm ET) Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak was not in the lineup Wednesday in Anaheim because manager Eric Wedge said he can only play two of three games in a series, MLB.com reports. 

The Mariners will rotate Smoak, Kendrys Morales and Michael Morse at first base and designated hitter going forward until Morse is healthy enough to play the outfield. Morse was the first baseman Wednesday. 

Smoak returned to action from the disabled list Tuesday and went 1 for 4 with a home run. 


Wilkin Ramirez cleared for rehab assignment
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:55 pm ET) Twins outfielder Wilkin Ramirez will begin a rehab assignment with Class A Fort Myers Thursday, MLB.com reports Wednesday. Ramirez passed his concussion test. 

Ramirez, who suffered the concussion May 25, has been taking batting practice with the team and has done running drills to this point. 


White Sox trying to find rest for Alexei Ramirez
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:52 pm ET) White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez has been an everyday player all season as he's played in 69 of 69 games for Chicago, MLB.com reports Wednesday. Ramirez hasn't missed a game all year, though manager Robin Ventura would like to get him a rest before the All-Star break. 

"I think it'll help," Ventura said. "You would like to, but you can't guarantee that. You'd like to get him a day somewhere in here that you can -- maybe even get in around one of those off-days, so you can make it an extra day. It might not happen, but I think right now if we were able to do it, Gordon [Beckham] would go over to shortstop."

The 31-year-old Ramirez is batting .268 this season with 14 RBI and 14 stolen bases. He's been pretty warm of late with 10 hits in his last 30 at-bats. 


Ruben Tejada making little progress
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:52 pm ET) Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada is not progressing as the team hoped from his right quadriceps strain, according to ESPN.com Wednesday.

Tejada has been unable to move laterally in the field while working out at the team's spring training complex, and has been unable to progress beyond hitting off a tee so far.

There is still no concrete timetable for his return to the field. Tejada has been out since May 30 due to this injury.


Kevin Gausman struggles in Triple-A debut
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:35 pm ET) Orioles pitching prospect Kevin Gausman made his first start with Triple-A Norfolk Wednesday night and it did not go as planned, MASNSports.com reports. 

Gausman allowed seven earned runs and 10 hits over six innings with a walk, four strikeouts and a wild pitch. He allowed a three-run homer in the sixth inning to Indianapolis outfielder Andrew Lambo. 

Manager Buck Showalter said Gausman would need to earn another promotion after he was demoted last week and he certainly didn't look too sharp Wednesday. He was 2-4 with a 3.11 over eight starts with Double-A Bowie before the promotion to the majors and went 0-3 with a 7.66 ERA over five starts with the Orioles. 


Carlos Quentin could return without DL trip
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:03 pm ET) Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin was a possible disabled list candidate upon suffering his left shoulder injury last Friday, but manager Bud Black told MLB.com Wednesday he thinks Quentin can return in "a couple of days." Quentin should begin swinging a bat soon, but still has no concrete timetable for his return. 

Jedd Gyorko nearing a return
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:02 pm ET) Padres infielder Jedd Gyorko has been making progress in his recovery from a right groin strain, and hopes to come off the disabled list when first eligible June 25, according to MLB.com.

Gyorko did some work Tuesday, putting in time in the batting cages and infield, while sprinting in the outfield, the first time he was able to run at full speed. His workout Wednesday was a bit lighter, and the team plans to "ramp up" his workouts beginning Thursday.

"I hit on the field, took ground balls right at me. It feels good. The training staff has done a great job. It's feeling a lot better than it did the first four or five days," Gyorko said. "I turned some double plays, which was good. I took balls further to my left and right. I did some light sprint work in the outfield. It was good to pass that test. Hopefully I'll keep progressing."

Gyorko will likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, though that is not a guarantee. Even if he does go down to the minors, it would likely be just a brief trip, given the relatively short time he has spent on the disabled list so far.

"I don't see any reason why I can't come back and pick up right where I left off. It might be tough to get that timing back right away, but hopefully that doesn't take too long," he said.
