    Yoenis Cespedes

    I am just starting to prepare for my upcoming draft and I have Oakland out fielder Yoenis Cespedes and I am trying to determine if he is worthy of a top 50 pick in the draft? We are allowed to keep 5 players from the previous season so my decision is if I don't keep him, What are the chances he will be available when I get my pick when the draft starts.

    Its a 10 team mixed league with normal 5x5 stat cats with a straight draft1-10 and 1-10. I have the 7th pick.

    I have not played fantasy sports very long so im still learning so any help would be much appreciated...

    Thanks

    I think that he is worth a pick in the 30 to 50 range, he is really solid unless he gets hurt

    I was pleasantly surprised with him last season. I'm not sure where he should be drafted, but I think he is borderline. Probably late 5th Round/Early 6th, so basically cut line.

    The HR power is definitely there, would really like him more if he didn't play his home games in Oakland....still though I think he will put up solid #s this year

    You should list the 7-8 players you are considering OP so we can determine if he's one of the 5 worth keeping.

    I think he is definitely a top 50 guy, I'd put him around 40-ish, especially if the As can keep it up from last season

    Would not keep him

    I'd roll dice and see if he's there when you pick

    I would not keep him. Plenty of other outfielders out there to consider.
    Plus he might be available later in the draft.

    I'd scoop him up within the 50-60 spot.

    He is top 50, maybe higher. I expect him to get 30+ homers this year.

    Actually he may go in the first round of this draft because 50 guys are protected.
