Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) pull up their rosters in Ottoneu league 1372, the Keep or Kut Listener League, and talk through who is a keeper, who is a cut, and who should maybe be shopped over the off-season. While trade season hasn't kicked off and it is too early to make final decisions, getting a sense of where you stand is a great place to start.

5:35 - What we're doing in our keeper leagues right now - first pass at keepers, positional eligibility, etc.

14:42 - Breaking down our Listener league rosters, starting with Pete's corner infielders, including an interesting debate on Marcell Ozuna.

23:08 - Chad's CI situation is mostly settled, but is Miguel Vargas a $3 keeper and how much does it hurt to bail on $17 Royce Lewis?

31:52 - The future of Pete's MI is pretty fun, but does he have enough MLB production? That might depend on what you think of Marcelo Mayer.

40:58 - Chad's MI looks a lot better after Jorge Polanco went off while we recorded, especially given how weak 2B is.

48:03 - Pete's OF has some tough calls, including a $16 Jarren Duran and $5 Brenton Doyle

58:03 - Chad has some tough calls on $20+ OF and that, in turn, may push some decisions on cheaper OF.

1:06:19 - We each have more prospects that we would ideally like to keep, but who gets cut loose?
