Coeus

Fireballers in aswell.

Early start this season with those games in Japan if they count...

boccy23

I assume we can keep the two minor league players as well.

Count me in, Tolka Drakes

Yeah sure, Judean Peoples Front.

Might be time for a name change actually

I'm happy to keep the keepers, rosters and minor league players as they are unless anyone wants to propose something.

Let me know what ye think.

I'm ok with it as it stands. I suppose with Joey Votto, I would be happy to go with OBP but average is fine.

There has been a lot of talk recently about points leagues and while we couldn't do that as it stands, I would be interested in discussing this format in the future.

We have active players but we all know each other too well and I felt last year, this was seen with very few trades.

I'll be back, El Capitan

Everyone seems to be back in. The poll link is up there again for this year. Earlier start due to the Japan games so the options end on the 19th. I've also skipped around Paddy's day for obvious reasons. I've leave it up until next Sunday and then set the keeper dates for a couple of days.

Is everyone happy with the number of keepers at 6 or should we drop to 4 for this year? Just to release a few more players into the draft pool if ye're interested. I'll leave it at 6 unless a few would like to change it.

I’ve always been a fan in recent years of dropping it back to 4, as it opens up the draft more as well (the best part).
But I think people have preferred 6.
But as you’ve asked, my preference is 4.
I’m happy with all the other rules tbh.

Yeah I'd be happy to keep it at 6.

This is the 9th year of the league though so I'd be happy if we want to say 6 this season, 4 next season and then do a full reset? Maybe even move to a dynasty or something?

Don't want to become something that would mean people stop playing because it's an enjoyable and competitive league but might be good if we stop and take stock after a decade of playing

I like the idea of a complete reset at some stage. Maybe we could also vote on whether a Points league as opposed to the standard 5 x 5 roto catagories would be an option.

I can see why I finished 6th when 4 out ESPNs top bounce back players are on my team!

bit of red72

Looks like it'll be Monday 11th and we won't be able to get everyone on the draft.

I also like the idea of a full reset next year if we're all up for it.

smackbunnybaby

I am examining my keepers today and will submit later if thats ok?

bit of red72

No bother. Keeper settings are now done so you can choose them automatically

bit of red72

Folks,

Draft now set for next Monday at 9. It's earlier than I thought it would be but it was the only time with a reasonable number of players

Keeper settings are lined up. Any keepers are to be set by midnight on Saturday night.

Let the research begin!

I'm happy to keep at 6, it makes the draft easier as we don't have to make the hard decisions on the first few rounds

However if the consensus is to make changes like less keepers or a complete reset then I think that decision needs to be made before this season starts as knowing the rules are changing will impact decisions that need to be made this season.

bit of red72

That's reasonable. I've setup two polls with 6/4/2/0 keepers for next year and a keepers year 2 also with 6/4/2/0. Hopefully that isn't too many options!

Apparently he has over 250lbs of it! Needs a bit of extra leg space.

I see it as extra incentive to hit HR's instead of doubles so he won't have to hustle.

bit of red72

Folks,

Given the results we'll stick with the 6 keepers for this year. The numbers for next year look like a reset is more likely than not. There hasn't been much time to vote and I think we'd need more votes to change anything.

Reminder that the deadline for keepers is midnight tomorrow night!!

bit of red72

I'm going to keep Nick Senzel as a NA keeper.

bit of red72

This feels WAY WAY too early but all is (hopefully) set for tomorrow's draft. I'm always terrified it'll go pear shaped!

The draft order is

1. RebelSox
2. Tolka Drakes
3. Springfield Zephyrs
4. Beechwood Badgers
5. K Kings
6. El Capitan
7. Judean Peoples Front
8. Eastside Fireballers
9. Giant Squirrels
10. Artful Dodgers

bit of red72

Everyone has taken six keepers other than the Badgers (0) and Rebel Sox (4). They will have the first eight picks in the draft before the rest join in.

There have been just four NA kept Bo Bichette, Tatis Jr. Big Vlad Jr and Nick Senzel. They've been allocated to the last round or two for those teams.
