Congratulations Larry on another Shooter Cup win. As always, a LOT of moves were needed to get the cup, especially to cover off a ton of in-season injuries. Larry proved that Sean isn’t the only dynasty in the OBFBL.
As we head into the 2020 keeper decisions and early draft, here’s how our rosters stacked up at years end…
Summary:
1. Asshats – Royce Lewis
2. Chronic – Alex Kiriloff
3. Tribe – Wander Franco
4. Legacy – Jo Adell
5. Asshats – Jesus Luzardo
6. Legacy – Garrett Hamspon
7. Bobby – Pete Alonso
8. Gold Balls – Rowdy Tellez
9. Gold Balls – Cavan Biggio
10. Asshats – Keston Hiura
11. Chronic – Victor Robles (Re-up)
12. Legacy – Josh James

Sean won again (and again), blah blah blah…this time a no doubter for the whole season. Blah. blah blah blah. Blah. Here’s the rankings. Enjoy. Congrats Sean.
It’s been a weird offseason, so not many keeper or dynasty ranks available…all redraft ranks below.
From the great base these sites provided, I crunched some numbers, resulting in your keeper rankings…hope you enjoy!! All ranks are based on the sites above, so feel free to disagree with the top keepers highlighted on each team. I know we usually find several teams going off the board for players they love that have higher potential than current value suggests. To that end…here’s your top keepers for 2018 and how they rank against each other…

Before the SuperBowl on Sunday, OBFBL Owners Sean Chard and Ryan Main knocked off an early RK Mock Draft. I guessing this means Andrew Benintendi is being kept. Here is how the mock draft went down….
FURY
Clint Frazier – ETA May/June 2017, 30 HR’s almost guaranteed in NY, eventually 10-15 SB’s to go with it.
GOLD BALLS
Austin Meadows – There’s a reason Pit was open to moving McCutchen this offseason. Meadows is real.
TRIBE
Gleybar Torres – Absolutely crushed the Arizona Fall League, batting .403 with a 1.158 OPS, but not likely to hit MLB until 2018
DYNASTY (This pick is rumored to be dealt to Damon)
Jose DeLeon – Consistent K-machine in the minors with a very low WHIP and immediately MLB ready.
DYNASTY
Shohei Otani – According to Sportsnet, he’s the next Babe Ruth. Will he pitch and DH, could a team limit either skill? When will he arrive?
ASSHATS
Victor Robles – Might have more tools than anybody in the minors and is still 19. Scouts projecting him as a possible 30/30 player and perennial all-star, should debut in Washington early 2018
FURY
Eloy Jimenez – Looked fantastic on the big stage during the 2016 futures game, will hit the Cubs roster in 2017 and in a full season should easily crush 30 HR’s. Limitations are defense and speed, but power comes easy.
LEGACY
Brendan Rodgers – When you’re expected to overtake the job from Trevor Story by mid season after he slugged 27 HR’s with a .909 OPS, you know you’re special
MOTOR BOATS
Rafael Devers – Devers was the reason Boston was able to move both Shaw and Moncada out as he brings plus power and defense with only Sandoval standing between him and his future
GOLD BALLS
Lewis Brinson – Jumped from Rookie ball to AAA in 2016, batting.382 with a 1.005 OPS in AAA. Should play in 2017 as only Choo or Gomez will block in in Texas and neither is consistently healthy
LEGACY
Ozzie Albies – Expected to crack the Braves roster early in 2017, Albies brings speed and defense, expected to steal 30+ bags consistently while manning 2B and presents higher upside than Dansby Swanson, high double play partner.
CRACKHEADS
Bradley Zimmer – Zimmer has the hitting ability and on-base skills needed to become a dynamic top-of-the-order hitter, but it’s his 20-20 potential that could make him one of the more valuable up-the-middle players in the game once he’s fully developed.

Sean won again, blah blah blah…last day battle to take the win over Larry. Blah. blah blah blah. Blah. Here’s the rankings. Enjoy. Congrats Sean.
