Other Top 25 lists: SP | OF | 1B
These rankings are based on projected cumulative value over the next 5 years. Minor league players have been excluded. I tend to favor power and upside over the ‘won’t hurt you’ players.

I’ve been playing around some more with the formula I have created to rank players on a keeper league basis and have decided that while a formula can give me a good structure to my list, it has to have some human adjustment. In spite of the fact that he has shown some skills at some point in the minors, there is no way you can convince me Tyler Greene will be a Top 10 shortstop in the next three years and even if Derek Jeter will be pushing 40 soon, he will still be good enough to be in the top half of the shortstop lists.

As I have mentioned before, every keeper league and every manager’s experience is different. While many people join a keeper league during the league’s inaugural season, many of us also come in as a replacement for a dud owner who failed to pay attention to his team and just let it fall apart.
I fall into the latter category.
