  • Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) take a look at ADP and find players whose draft cost makes them already look like potential keepers for next year. We're not talking the rookies or injured players you expect, but players who we think the market is simply undervaluing and whose ADP will be much earlier in 2026.

    Timestamps

    5:35 - Pitchers whose new homes have impacted our thinking, including Garrett Crochet to Fenway and Corbin Burnes to the desert

    16:17 - Same, but for hitters, this time talking Josh Naylor, Teoscar Hernandez, and a tangent for Chad to gripe about his Guardians.

    22:07 - Looking at players whose ADP offers keeper value, starting with Bowden Francis

    29:05 - Chad isn’t telling you Luis L. Ortiz is an ace, but the price is free and the upside is real.

    36:16 - Jake McCarthy isn’t flashy but he projects to 10/30.

    44:56 - Jorge Soler going to the best power park of his career.

    53:57 - Brandon Lowe, as late as he is going, might be the best power source you can get at 2B.

    58:19 - Luis Garcia Jr. is the 7th 2B off the board and Chad still sees keeper value at that cost

    1:01:25 - Nolan Gorman will at least get PA, and remember how good he looked?

    1:05:04 - Chad is ready to talk more Isaac Paredes

  • Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) break down some of their keeper league settings decisions, such as IL slots and the costs associated with keeping players added via FAAB. Chad also explains the different strategies he uses to make difficult keeper decisions.

    7:05 - What are the pros and cons of having your keeper league’s prospect draft before the draft/auction?

    18:00 - What is the appropriate number of IL spots for a keeper league?

    27:08 - Should a keeper league limit the amount of FAAB-pickups that can be kept?

    31:26 - Should FAAB keepers cost a last-round pick, or should they be a little more expensive?

    39:52 - How Chad ranks his keeper options

    53:40 - Is there ever a situation where you keep less than the maxmimum number of allowed keepers, even if the players you leave off technically have “value” at their cost?

    1:01:10 - How does the amount of allowed keepers affect Chad’s thought process when selecting his keepers?

  • Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) participated in the Pitcher List Podcast Network mock draft and he and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) will use the results of that draft to identify some interesting keeper targets for 2025 drafts. Then we take a look at a co-managed dynasty team that needs some cuts to get legal. we dive into arbitration for the Keep or Kut listener league.

    Timestamps

    5:38 - Using the Pitcher List Podcast Network draft to identify interesting keeper targets for 2025.

    8:34 - Targets from the first four rounds include 4th round Wyatt Langford and Brent Rooker, the upside on Jazz Chisholm, plus comparing the keeper upside of Garrett Crochet and Logan Gilbert

    17:44 - Rounds 5-10 featuring Luis Robert Jr. in the 9th and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the same round, and the return of Shane McClanahan

    26:15 - Luke Weaver and Dylan Crews jump out in rounds 11-15, maybe because this range is a little weak, but Parker Meadows deserves a shout as well and there is a ton of pitching upside.

    34:49 - Rounds 16-20 feature Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Arrighetti, lots of young upside including Jordan Lawlar, some bounceback closers, and even Bowden Francis

    40:05 - The final three rounds always get weak, but Chad grabbed Roki Sasaki in the final round and we both think Isaac Paredes and Eury Perez could have gone earlier.

    44:12 - We need to cut 5 to get a dynasty roster legal - and we have to debate how we will use David Fry

    48:15 - Reviewing our entire offense, including obvious drops in Hunter Renfroe and Dylan Carlson and cut candidates in J,P, Crawford and Ke’Bryan Hayes

    53:11 - And our pitching, with a bunch of super clear keepers, plus some questions about Ben Lively, Javier Assad, and Simeon Woods Richardson

  • Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) take a look at a slew of hitters who followed solid 2023s up with terrible (or, in some cases, just not-as-great) 2024s.

    7:42 - Chad's Head-to-Head Hero is Wyatt Langford to close out the season. Pete went with Jonathan Aranda.

    20:15 - Ronald Acuña Jr., Jose Altuve, Matt Olson, Freddie Freeman, and Corey Seager are all studs who technically took a statistical step back. Any concerns here?

    22:45 - Some veterans that fell from being good in 2023 to bad in 2024 were Marcus Semien, Ozzie Albies, JD Martinez, and Bo Bichette. What are we doing with this group?

    32:08 - What are we doing with Luis Robert Jr. after this terrible season?

    41:04 - Some players that kind of broke-out in 2023 were Nolan Jones, Chas McCormick, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Zack Gelof, and Christopher Morel. Their 2024s were a lot less successful.

    53:45 - In or out on Davis Schneider? Brandon Drury? Evan Carter? Adam Duvall? Wilmer Flores? Mitch Garver?

    58:56 - How early are we drafting Julio Rodriguez next year?

    1:00:02 - In or out on Adolis García?

    1:00:45 - How about Spencer Torkelson and Triston Casas?

    1:05:35 - Josh Lowe had an alright 2024, but it wasn't what we hoped for. What do we expect from him in 2025?

  • Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) celebrate 150 episodes of Keep or Kut by breaking down 21 starting pitchers in simple terms: buy high or sell high? All 21 pitchers have a better P/IP than they did last year, or debuted this year.

    2:40 - Chad chooses teammates H2H Heroes: Matt Olson and Michael Harris II; while Pete can't decide between Corbin Carroll and Julio Rodriguez.

    7:07 - We go through 29 hitters (yes, Chad said 30, but it was 29) who made big gains this year

    9:42 - We start with the stud rookies: Jackson Merrill, Jackson Chourio, and James Wood; and while the sample size is smaller, we need to talk Luisangel Acuña.

    16:39 - We can't criticize Elly de la Cruz, even with the K's, but we aren't excited about Adrian del Castillo and things aren't as clear with Connor Norby.

    25:34 - Heliot Ramos and Lawrence Butler are lighting it up in the Bay Area.

    31:05 - A couple of young NL East infielders: Xavier Edwards, Mark Vientos

    37:31 - OF is a challenge, but does that mean you should buy high on Brenton Doyle or Tyler O'Neill?

    42:44 - Three former prospects in different phases of their careers: Carlos Correa's bat is legit but how concerned are you about health? Are you buying Jordan Westburg? Is this just the post- post- post- post-hype breakout from Jurickson Profar?

    51:19 - Some vets putting up big seasons: Tommy Edman and Joc Pederson

    54:41 - It's a run on SS as we talk Ezequiel Tovar, Tyler Fitzgerald, and Willy Adames

    4:17 - Chad chooses a Cleveland starter as his H2H Hero

    8:57 - Tyler O’Neill is Pete’s H2H Hero

    18:37 - What about a $40 Yoshinobu Yamamoto? Buy high or sell high?

    21:15 - Garrett Crochet broke out this year. He is an obvious buy high at $3.

    23:47 - Pete is not convinced Osvaldo Bido is useful going forward. Sell high!

    29:04 - Hunter Greene is awesome but he’s hurt. What are we doing with him?

    34:44 - Rhett Lowder is only 22 years old! Buy high or sell high?

    38:25 - River Ryan is having Tommy John Surgery so he isn’t a sell high or a buy high. He is, sadly, a cut.

    39:17 - Pete is buying high on Jack Flaherty, Chad is not quite as convinced buy is also buying.

    43:24 - Luis Gil has walk problems but he has had an excellent season. Buy high or sell high?

    59:43 - Both the hosts are buying Hunter Brown and Jared Jones

    1:02:29 - Brandon Pfaadt is hot off of a miserable start. Pete and Chad are selling high. They are selling on Brady Singer, too.

    1:07:26 - Pete and Chad disagree on what to do with Kumar Rocker

  • Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) looks at some high priced players on his roster and asks Pete (@PeteBBaseball): Can I cut this star? Who is an obvious cut in the off-season, but maybe needs to be held for now? Who can you give up, even if it means someone else gets him half price?

    5:33 - Pete goes a little less obvious with his H2H hero: Pablo Lopez. And Chad just made a series of trades involving Lopez.

    14:09 - Chad picks Lawrence Butler as his H2H hero, leading us to wonder, for 2025 - Butler or Adolis Garcia?

    26:42 - Can Chad cut $36 Christian Yelich or $49 Fernando Tatis Jr., or does he have to sit on them?

    37:51 - What about a $20+ Carlos Rodon?

    43:00 - How are you handling an expensive Ronald Acuna Jr.?

    47:02 - At what point do you cut high value (maybe high-priced) players because they aren’t helping now? Chad wrestling with a struggling $26 Marcus Semien, $28 Gerrit Cole, and $11 George Kirby.

    1:03:45 - Reviewing three deadline deals involving Spencer Torkelson, Spencer Arrighetti, Logan Webb, Kyle Manzardo, Framber Valdez, Shane Baz, Luis Ortiz, Parker Meadows.

  • Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) breakdown some of their difficult upcoming keeper decisions.

    5:00 -Head-to-Head Heroes! Chad is excited that Spencer Torkelson is back and hitting. Pete went with a catcher, Yainer Diaz.

    23:19 - Pete is in an odd spot. He is going to keep an 18th round Gunnar Henderson, but what combo should he pair with Henderson? An 8th round Jose Altuve with a 9th round Jarren Duran, or should he just pay 1st and 2nd round picks to keep Fernando Tatis Jr. and Yordan Alvarez?

    38:25 - Is a $49 Tatis Jr. a cut?

    43:33 - Are we keeping a $33 Francisco Lindor? Pete says, "duh."

    47:16 - A 22nd round Jacob deGrom vs a 25th round Garrett Crochet. Is the choice obvious? Chad thinks so, Pete is a little hesitant.

  • Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) dive into a set of players whose 2024 seasons have left us with questions about their keeper values. Have some of these players reached "must-keep" status because they have outplayed their value? Or should you trade them? Have some of them stumbled so badly that we are just moving on?

    23:49 - Are we over Jesus Luzardo?

    28:38 - Is Yoshinobu Yamamoto elite? I guess that depends on your definition of elite.

    35:38 - Is Anthony Santander an auto-keep everywhere?

    41:19 - Five challenging SS to value, starting with Oneil Cruz

    46:31 - Anthony Volpe hasn’t quite lived up to the hype, but does that mean he’s not worth keeping?

    54:45 - Zach Neto has fully broken out

    58:47 - Ezequiel Tovar is fun but is his performance sustainable?

    1:02:15 - Can you really just give up on Bo Bichette?

  • Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) discuss nine players who, whether for injuries, a lack of performance, or both, are potentially worth dropping and replacing.

    9:35 - Pete and Chad pick their Player of the Week! Chad went with Hunter Brown, and at 17:12 Pete went with Francisco Alvarez.

    22:57 - Mike Trout, George Springer, and Cedric Mullins are not giving us a lot of hope. Are they droppable? How do they stack up to Chas McCormick rest of season? Long term?

    45:24 - Injuries and a lack of good performance from Justin Verlander and Walker Buehler have made them tough to roster. Ryan Pepiot has been a disaster since the start of May. Are we ready to move on? Do Matt Waldron, DJ Herz, or Spencer Turnbull strike anyone's fancy?

    59:01 - As for the infield... Ke'Bryan Hayes, Jake Burger, and Dansby Swanson have all been varying degrees of disappointments. Is there anyone out there worth dropping them for? Pete likes Nick Gonzalez and Brandon Lowe. What about David Hamilton? Meanwhile, Chad likes Colt Keith and Jose Miranda and thinks Deyvison De Los Santos is worth stashing.
