Pick the 6 guys you think will make the biggest impact for 2017. The player pool is that from my NL only team costing 6$ or less to keep.
This is strictly by performance, ignore position eligibility. However, playing time is a big factor.

Willson Contreras - k
Jose Peraza - k
Jake Lamb - k
David Dahl - k
Hunter Renfroe - k
Orlando Arcia
Manuel Margot
Dansby Swanson
Josh Bell
TJ Rivera

Jameson Taillon - k
Zach Davies
Jose De Leon
Alex Reyes
AJ Cole

The ones with the - k are my current thoughts on keepers.

Probably the same as you have except Swanson over Peraza

E: I'd also rather have Margot than Peraza

I think it will probably come down to playing time between the three. I don't know if Swanson will stick in the bigs for 2017. My guess is he will be more of a mid season call up.

Alex Reyes and Josh Bell are both intriguing players to me as well.

What makes you think that?

He played terrific defense and held his own at the plate.

Because he is so young and this is just his first taste of the bigs. It's not hard to see them take it slow or him stumbling some and getting sent to AAA.
I don't know the Braves organization that well though so it may be one that gets decided closer to next year.

Also, other players have held their own in their first taste of the bigs then struggled down the road.
Dustin Ackley comes to mind...He had a better ops+ his first year over a bigger sample size.
Swanson had a 380 babip which propelled his 300 ave, however he did have pretty good walk rates and a not terrible k rate...

Bell would be solid for fantasy since defense doesn't matter.

Guy was so good at the plate and arguably the worst defender in the NL lol.
