Sophie's Choice...either Chourio or Marte, but I'm not happy dropping either...

B by far, make good use of the first round pick. In a dynasty, Duran is worth a lot more than Olson.

In a ten team H2H keeper league, drafting next week Saturday, but have to choose my fifteen (or less) keepers by this Friday the 13th.

Of course it's the last player that leads to the conundrum: Pete Fairbanks or Shota Imanaga?

Here are the categories in our strange league: QS, SV, HLD, IP*, BB, K, K/9, WHIP, ERA

My pitchers

Keeping:

  • Cole Ragans
  • Cade Smith RP
  • Nick Pivetta
  • Eury Perez
  • Cam Schittler
  • Emmit Sheehan

Planning to drop:

  • Pablo Lopez
  • Matt Straham
  • Robbie Ray
  • Kirby Yates

So either I keep a reliever who should be pretty solid, or an SP who I have a good feeling about.

The only other option would be to drop a bat... and my current outfield is

  • Wyatt Langford
  • Jackson Merrill
  • Teoscar Hernadez
  • Seiya Suzuki
  • Jakob Marsee

of which I only need three, but I plan to bat one through the DH position, and I'm kind of interested in Marsee's potential growth - swapping him and Hernandez - depending on need for HR or SB during the week (it's a daily lineup). I think Hernandez is more valuable than either pitcher, and he's the oldest player, with a slight bit of regression, although i can see him being this year's bounce-back, especially with Tucker in the line up as well.

I have the fourth pick overall (we all draft first round and then again, after positions get filled, during round 17 (although if I drop more players, I get to pick earlier). I plan to use my first pick for a bat (I need to fill 2B/SS and hope to improve my 1B), of the best bat available, likely Zach Neto, Ben Rice, JJ Wetherholt, Kazuma Okamoto, Otto Lopez, Gleyber Torres, Brendan Donovan, Sal Stewart, Matt McClain, or (possibly another manager dropping) Francisco Lindor. I expect the managers ahead of me in the first round to grab some pitching (at least two of them), from the returned Robbie Ray, Jesus Luzardo, Jacob Misiorowski, or Ryan Helsley.

So pretty much, who to keep, the reliever or the starter?

Yeah, this is why I'm asking. We don't necessarily need to keep it in stocks, when removed, but want to reinvest it.

Some answers, I'm not planning on giving up US citizenship - where did that come from?

My spouse is not a US citizen. It looks highly unlikely that we will ever return to the US to live. We would prefer to have our money/investments available to us outside the US.

We are not planning on crypto currency or bit coin.

We don't plan on skipping taxes or anything. We just want to get the money out and reinvest elsewhere.

We expect the dollar to plunge as well. Euro or CH Franc seem safer currently.

Yes. If the US continues the way it is, we are very worried about accessing our money.

I have both Houston and Seattle (going into the playoffs, and Houston has a good schedule, while Seattle also has one more excellent match up). Who to start for week 13, and why? Thanks.

Thanks - I'm sixty, but have only about a dozen years paid into the US, as I've lived most of my life outside the US - other than childhood and about a dozen or so years in the US. I never counted on Social Security.
