    If it was me I would keep:

    Duffy - because he had a good year last year and you need to keep a starter
    Quintana - if he does get traded he can't go to much of a worse team. if he doesn't get traded he should still be a solid contributor

    Those are the easy two.

    For the third one - I dont like the idea of keeping any of those remaining bats. And I don't like the idea do keeping a closer because they lose their jobs too often.

    But it would be between Oh and Gausman for me.

    Oh if you want to keep a closer, he is a closer on a team that will get lots of wins and looks to have a stronghold on the job.
    Gausman has upside and has supposedly did well in spring training and has been named opening day starter.

    Nunez gives you some speed, a SS option, or some big trade bait with 3B being very shallow.
    The last two spots are a toss up between Duffy, Giles and Oh. I would probably go with Duffy to make sure you have 2 SPs. Then flip a coin on the closer.
    Any chance you can make a deal to grab a slightly better 2nd starter though?

    Quintana has had a ridiculous spring, so i'd say he earned a spot.
    Oh to get a top closer
    And i'd prolly go Nunez. Ozuna was close but keeping 2 OF already, i'd like to keep some infielders with speed

    Thanks for all the input so far.
    I don't think trading is an option, not too many active managers (let alone in the offseason)
    I know my keeper list isn't that strong, just lost Ortiz and I held on the Harvey for too long.

    I'm leaning towards Duffy, Quintana, and Nunez/Oh at the moment.
