Top keeper league targets?

On Sunday night I'm drafting in the initial year of a keeper league (H2H, standard cats). It's relatively limited for keepers (4 hitters, 2 pitchers) and I'm putting together a list of my top targets for young keepers. Outside of the obvious guys (Trout, Harper, Kershaw, Goldy, etc.), who are young players you'd love to have in a keeper league?

I've got guys like Abreu, Tanaka, Bogaerts, Castellanos on my radar. Who are the guys you don't mind reaching for?

How many teams? If it's standard 12, then long-term stashing becomes less viable. But guys like Justin Upton, Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward, Yasiel Puig, Manny Machado, Gerrit Cole, Jose Fernandez get a boost when you are talking keepers in that range. And don't forget about Matt Harvey.

Yeah with 6 keepers I wouldn't worry too much about the young guys except making bigger reaches towards the middle and end of the draft like you and Matt are suggesting. Otherwise early on I'd just draft based on production either past or projected.
