Hudson:
Tough finding 20 guys to keep between 2 retired guys and 3 guys who were out the whole year. I always thought my starters were a strength-next year, not so much. Here goes:
Keepers
1) Jackie Bradley Jr-cooled off toward the end of the year but still 25 HRs from a CF
2) Jay Bruce-until MISS bowls me over with a trade offer. Should have never been traded to the Mets
3) Adonis Garcia-good against lefties
4) Didi Gregorius-good power for a SS-available to be traded
5) Billy Hamilton-58 SB and good against lefties
6) Jonathon Lucroy-the trade the Mets should have made
7) Mike Napoli-30+ HRS
8) Jose Ramirez-versatile infielder, up and coming star
9) JT Realmulto-nice to have 2 good catchers
10) Kyle Schwarber-useless this year, hoping for 2017
11) Yangervus Solarter-poor guy's wife just tied-terrible news
12) Neil Walker-good until he got hurt
13) Madison Bumgarner- solid #1 SP, not much after him
14) David Price-overpaid but may as well keep him
15) Steven Matz-brittle, okay when he is healthy
16) Adam Wainwright-hope he gets better next year
17) Tyler Clippard-good against righties
18) Craig Kimbrel-closer
19) Justin Grimm-cause I got to keep 19 guys
20) Wei-Yin Chen-cause I got to keep 20 guys

Hudson Bye-Bye
1) Lucas Duda-hurt most of the year-.040 against lefties so far in 2016
2) Torri Hunter-farewell tour wih HUD a disappointing .216 average
3) David Murphy-also retired in 2016-couldn't take another last place finish with HUD
4)Jimmy Parades-didn't play much in 2016
5) Alexei Ramirez-don't need another SS
6) Brad Boxberger-mediocre 2016
7) Roenis Elias-10+ ERA
8) Michael Fiers-20 loss season with HUD rewarded with a pink slip
9) Chris Heston-hurt, no-hitter against the Mets in 2015 probably career highlight
10) Lance Lynn-out all of 2016
11) Tony Sipp-4.51 ERA for a reliever
12) Zack Wheeler-2 years without throwing a pitch for the Highlanders-time to go.

Hartford Dark Blues Cuts

Chris Colabello 1B  3rd round pick had one great year.  32 MLB PAs so far in 2016.
Chris Bassitt P  One year rental.  Tommy John surgery May 2016
Mychal Givens P  One year rental.  ERA Plus of 230 in 2015, currently at 129
Erik Goeddel P  One year rental.  Went from 0.3 to 1.5 HR/9
Michael Blazek P One year rental.  Current WHIP is 1.88.  I think I can do better.
AJ Ellis C  One year rental.  Seems to be an odd year/even year guy.  Should play for Giants.
Phil Gosselin INF One year rental.  Versatile but not hitting enough to keep.
Andrew Cashner P  Stashed on farm in hopes of comeback year.  Didn't happen.  
Brayan Pena C  Platoon player drafted second round 2014.  Only 11 MLB PAs this year.
Jake McGee P  3rd round pick in 2015.  Got two years out of him.  Highest WHIP since 2011 means he gets cut.
Carlos Gomez OF  4th round pick in 2012.  When you are 30, you don't get a farm spot two years in a row.  
Chris Coghlan OF  6th round pick in 2015.  Always hits for Maddon, but spent too long with A's this year.
