I'm allowed to keep all 25 if I want, but then I don't make any picks in the amateur draft. I have the 22nd pick of 24 teams in the draft and I can as many picks as necessary to fill the 25 spots, so if I cut 5 people, I'll have 5 picks. I've bolded the guys I'm pretty definite about keeping. Anyone in here who is an obvious cut? Anyone iffy? Let me know, thanks for the help.

Only guys that aren't bolded that...

I would keep are Hoover, Devall, and Hunter. I would cut anyone else unless you feel good about any of them.

Agreed

I might keep Jeffries too, given that you’d be cutting quite a few guys. There is still a small chance that Jeffries ends up being a dominant reliever IMO - if he can get the character issues straightened out.

Keep Hoover.

Even guys like Hunter have value in a sim league assuming you have salaries. The ability to call up prospects instead of paying for FAs helps a lot in my experience because I hate paying for RPs. Of course, if you think you can get someone better cutting him is a no brainer but he still has the ceiling to be a very nice RP.

When is your draft? I’d definitely try pulling some trades before just cutting people. I’m not familiar with all of those players but I mostly agree with joegonzo.

Will Smith

Is a keeper for me as well. Hoover and DeVall are keepers as well but they were already mentioned.
