PROPOSED CHANGE/ADDITION FOR NEXT YEAR
First off, we will vote on whether to make any change at all. This league is smooth, and I love it, I'd hate to mess with such a good thing... That said, I think it would be a nice addition to expand the minor league/dynasty aspect.
Nine keepers is good, and that never needs to go up, but I'm thinking about adding designated minor league keepers. My idea is to expand NA slots to three, and keep two players specifically in NA in the offseason, in addition to the regular nine active. NA players are still drafted, traded, and dealt with as FA the same way as regular players. If this idea gets legs then we can discuss further how to deal with keeper eligibility of guys with September callups, or the very rare occurrence where a prospect breaks the major league roster in camp after spending the end of the previous season on the farm (this often happens with retread players and journeymen, but its damn rare with blue clippers... even major league ready prospects seemingly always wait until May/June to come up for salary reasons).
In addition to adding the strategy and intrigue of building from the farm, this will also add a new trade dynamic, as well as increase the value of all draft picks (and thus draft pick trades). My only hesitance, like I said, is don't wanna fuck with a good thing, but I joined another league that handles minor leagues and I've gotta say its pretty good....
Alright so let's hear everybodies thoughts: -
Draft set for Sunday 3/22 8:30PM EST. If anybody has conflict with this time please post ASAP.
Keeper deadline one week prior to draft, that means 3/22 which is coming up. I believe with Yahoo the true deadline is always 11:59 PST, so that would mean 2:59AM Monday morning for all us East Coasters, but to be safe I'd try to have em in by mindight Saturday. We keep 9, and will stay at 9 next year (and moving forward) so draft accordingly.
As soon as keepers are confirmed I'll post complete draft order for the first two rounds, then a list of all other pick trades. PLEASE CHECK THIS INFO IMMEDIATELY it's a lot of data entry required and I'm in a bunch of leagues... I'd like to think that I'm not mistake prone, but I did fuck up one guys draft position in NBA this year (sorry Jake) and didn't realize it until just before the draft so too late to change. PLEASE, I implore you, check your own keepers and draft picks sometime between Mon-Thurs next week. I think I can still make changes up to the day before the draft, but to keep things safe assume all pre-draft settings as written in stone come Friday of next week.
All scoring cats, roster slots, trade deadline, playoff structure as previous. At some point this week I'll comfirm divisions are set the same as last year. Weekly moves limit will remain at 3 as well. Luckily there's not that crazy one or two games abroad a week before opening day, as that totally sucked last year. Week 1 is only 8 days this year, so shouldn't be a problem.
Draft pick trades will once again be permitted. Pick trades are unlimited but you can deal ONLY THREE of your original picks. This means that picks you acquire in trades from others are endlessly tradeable, but a team can't empty more than 3 of their own. This is crucial in protecting year to year balance, and this rule has no exceptions. Any questions to this end please post and I'll elaborate.
KEEP YOUR ACTIVE ROSTERS HEALTHY AND SET AND RESPOND TO TRADES QUICKLY. Derelict rosters will not be tolerated. We will not put teams in "contraction" as we did two years ago, but if anybody goes awol I will simply findma replacement. Same with failure to respond to trades... There is nothing worse than fantasy leagues with managers that never respond. Let's please not allow that here. I'm not trying to be a hard ass, just making clear what will not be tolerated should ugliness arise. This a great bunch of managers though, I don't see this happening. If for any reason you'll have limitations accessing or involvement for a period please post. Its always understandable that vacations, work, family can wipe you out, just if that's what's happening let everybody know so we don't worry a manager has dropped out. Like I said this is a great crew we've got here, but it's just the sad reality of fantasy sports that it happens, and in a competitive league like this one it can't be tolerated without reason... It's just not fair to everybody else.
That's it for now, if anybody has questions or sees anything I've forgotten please post. Otherwise everybody get ready for an awesome season!
