Welcome everyone to Z Keeper Baseball Season # 12. I'm proud to say that we have a great, mostly proactive group of owners that make our league a cut above standard Yahoo leagues.
Every owner gets to keep 6 players of their choice from last season. Trading of players and draft picks is allowed before the draft. The only rule is that each team involved in the trade must keep at least one player each from the deal. After the start of the season, trades go back to normal until the trading deadline in August.
I ask everyone to please try to respond to trade offers within 48 hours. Always strive to be courteous and professional in all your fantasy business.
Remember, this is your league. I ask that everyone be active on all fronts concerning the management of your team. Always look for ways to improve your team. Seek trades, scour the player pool, post something on the league board from time to time. Strong participation makes for a better league.
This league was built on the foundation of everyone getting to prove themselves against good competition and as an escape from the rigors of daily life. It's a great way to enjoy sports even more!
Smack talk is encouraged, but let's keep it tasteful and good-natured. Fantasy sports are all about having fun. Respect other owners and do not insult them. Let's do our best to keep it clean and keep hate out of it.
No cussing. Many of us could have a boss, wife or kids who might be looking over our shoulder, etc.
I don't want our league denigrated into nasty, mindless insults and f-bomb tirades. I would like to think we are better and more creative when it comes to expressing ourselves.
No racial attacks on any historically oppressed people will be tolerated.
No personal attacks against anybody's wife or kids. Also, no threatening of anybody's life or livelihood.
There always seems to be gray areas that are crossed at times. If I should feel the need to warn anybody over their actions or words, please heed. It is for the betterment of the league.
If anybody has any questions, just send me a note or better yet, post it on the board. Hope everyone has another great season!!!!
