    K ꓘ 181 - Listener Questions
    Dec 22 2025

    Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad Young (@chadyoung) got a slew of listener questions and do their best to get through as many possible. Who has increased their value this off-season? What's up at CI? How do you balance and think about values in different formats?

    2:22 - Who are risers in keeper leagues due to the transactions we have already seen this off-season? Willson Contreras is the latest transaction and maybe the biggest gainer.

    7:26 - Munetaka Murakami landing in a pretty good spot, for atypical reasons.

    14:46 - The Tigers bullpen is supposedly unsettled but it feels kinda settled.

    22:37 - Staying in San Diego makes Michael King look at a little better to Chad, while not a ton changes in terms of how we view Shane Baz.

    22:08 - Did the Tampa/Pittsburgh/Houston three-way trade hurt everyone's value? Pete says not quite everyone.

    32:34 - Some quick thoughts on Adolis Garcia, Edwin Diaz, Robert Suarez, and Raisel Iglesias

    36:45 - How is the lockout impacting our long-term planning in keeper and dynasty leagues?

    41:06 - Would Pete trade his 21st round Corbin Carroll for a 24th round Cal Raleigh?

    46:54 - How are we feeling about the state of CI at the moment?

    58:01 - How do we switch our mindset as we move between different formats with different scoring?

  • K ꓘ 179 - Podcast Network Mock Draft Review

    K ꓘ 179 - Podcast Network Mock Draft Review
    Nov 24 2025
    Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) took part in the Pitcher List Podcast Network mock draft in Octobter. This week, Chad Young (@chadyoung) grills Pete (nicely) on his strategy, his picks, what went well, what didn't, and what he learned. Along the way, they try to bring in some keeper league thoughts, as well.1:40 - What makes a draft like this different from a keeper draft - and what makes this draft particularly unique?11:09 - Picking 11th, Pete made a tactical choice to wait on pitching, knowing he could get his ace at 14, landing Fernando Tatis, Jr. and Paul Skenes.17:43 - At the 3/4 turn, Pete went bat-arm again, this time maybe reaching for a bat he loves (Roman Anthony) and taking an unexpected 2nd ace who fell (Yoshinobu Yamamoto)23:21 - Pitching keeps falling so in the 5th and 6th, Pete ends up with a third ace in Max Fried and fills SS with Bo Bichette.29:24 - Are we feeling different about Bichette in keepers vs. redraft?31:37 - In the 7th and 8th, Pete is feeling good about his three-headed ace and is looking for bats to strengthen his offense. He finds Brandon Lowe and Eugenio Suarez at two relatively weak positions.37:34- Among a run of hitters joining Pete's team, Pete takes his first closer, and opts for Aroldis Chapman over Cade Smith, then follows that up with Spencer Torkelson in the 10th, Michael Harris in the 11th and Teoscar Hernandez in the 12th.50:48 - Pete jumps back in the pitching market adding Tanner Bibee and Emmet Sheehan over a slew of other pitchers going in this range, before grabbing Kenley Jansen at the end of a closer run.55:54 - On the other side of the turn after Jansen, Pete grabs Luis Robert, Jr., one of a number of buy-low bounce backs (too many, perhaps) he grabbed in this draft. Then he adds Jonathan Aranda and Mackenzie Gore, who really shouldn't be buy-lows.1:02:06 - Pete closes out with a high upside play (Munetaka Murakami), his starting C (Drake Baldwin), a couple additional SP (Parker Messick and Brayan Bello), and a guy whose second half was better than you think (Christian Walker).1:11:44 - A quick look at a few players who went undrafted but could be interesting.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | Google Podcasts | RSSConnect: Twitter | keeporkut@gmail.com | Join PL+Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • K ꓘ 177 - Ottoneu 4x4 Roster Breakdown

    K ꓘ 177 - Ottoneu 4x4 Roster Breakdown
    Oct 6 2025

    

    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?
