Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (chadyoung.bsky.social) go three three ADP tiers and identify players they simply have to have in keeper leagues. These are players whose ADP represents a value this year and have potential to be great keepers, even if you have to pay an increasing cost for them, next year. We used FanTrax ADP and here are the rules we followed:

One player each from inside the top 100 ADP, one from ADP 101-200, and one outside the top 200.
Players should have keeper value, but they also have to be valuable this year. You are competing, so you aren't going to punt a pick and a roster spot to stash Jesús Made for a year or more.

4:35 - Pete goes pitching in the top 100, targeting Logan Gilbert for the possibility to combine his history as a 200-inning workhorse with his newfound 2025 K-rate.

10:04 - Chad wants to buy the dip on Jackson Merrill, whose ADP would make him a multi-year keeper if he rebounds like we expect.

18:06 - Chad sticks in the outfield, this time going for Heliot Ramos, whose ADP is just straight too low.

26:55 - Another outfielder, this time from Pete who loves the power from Daulton Varsho, even if you get nothing else from him.

36:39 - Once we get outside the top 200, a lot of prospects are interesting, but we tried to stay away from them, and Pete finds himself targeting Francisco Alvarez.

43:21 - Chad wraps things up with a look at why Jackson Holliday is on multiple of his rosters.
