A Fantasy Puzzle

Philosophers keep their minds sharp by posing ethical dilemmas. Naturally, it follows that fantasizers like me should pose fantasy dilemmas. Yesterday, we talked over some ottoneu keeper conundrums. I’ll also use ottoneu for today’s puzzle. If you’re not familiar with the platform, fear not! You don’t need a working knowledge of ottoneu to participate today – I’ll explain everything. Today’s subject is:

How would you allocate $3 across these eight players?

Paul Goldschmidt $31
Edwin Encarnacion $25
Yasiel Puig $14
Corey Kluber $10
Greg Holland $10
Evan Gattis $4
George Springer $4
Dellin Betances $3

IMPORTANT: Ottoneu has unique parameters. This is a 40 man roster with a $400 budget. A top player like Goldschmidt could be worth $60. In this case, all eight players appear to have substantial surplus value, although not all are created equal.

UPDATE: The point of your allocation is to increase the cost of these players for the current owner. You are not bidding to win a player in this puzzle.

Rules

1. You may allocate your $3 in any way. You can bid $3 on one player, split the money $2 to $1, or drop $1 on three different players.
2. You may imagine that 10 other owners are also allocating $3. As such, your decision may be conditional on the actions of others.
3. There is no limit to years a player can be kept. In other words, your actions can be felt in future seasons.
4. I may cut any player. That has both positive and negative implications.

I’m not going to offer any additional guidance, at least not today (you can however, read up on ottoneu arbitration). There is no right answer, so be as creative and spiteful as the parameters allow. To the comments!
