The REAL Desipio Keeper League Keeper Poll!

[Gilgamesh]

Any open spots for a league founder?  Eh? 

I think the original intention of the league was to use 'unlimited', unless there was majority opposition.  We thought an arbitrary number would be just that -- arbitrary.  So we implemented the unlimited option, giving owners full say on who stays and who goes.  As mentioned, it does take the impact out of the draft, but that is the trade-off of a keeper league. 

Do you want TDubbs's spot?

You know where to throw an open spot if you get one, chieftan.

Just kidding.  Tip offers no input on any decision and complains constantly aboot them after they've been made, but he's active and easily ignored.

Fuck that.  I made plenty of proposals for rules.  You just chose to use the stupider ones.
and . .

This was supposed to be the rule before the most retarded rule of lose 2 rounds before you drafted him.  I said it before, and I'll say it again, you can't set keeper rules a month before the draft.  If anything, there should be no keepers this year if we're going to impose the 2 round dump.

I don't see how a 2 round dump would change anyone's draft strategy.  Would you try and get Miguel Cabrera in the third instead of the first?  Because he probably wouldn't slide that far.

I'd keep my 3rd rounder, Carl Crawford, as a 3rd rounder.  b/c he's a good pick there.  As a 1st rounder, not so much.  Evan Longoria in the 2nd round is an awesome pick.  But I can't even think about keeping him now apparently.

I'm aware that the people you keep would change, but how would that have changed where you drafted them.  I'm saying that I don't see how your draft strategy from last year would have changed.  I don't really see how it would change this year.  You just don't get the guarantee they'd be on your team.  Guess what...you could still draft them.

The rule's intended to keep the draft strong and so guys can't sit on dude's they got in the 20th round for 5 years while they produce at All-Star levels.  Or something.

I agree with this.

It changes where you'd draft somebody b/c if you really wanted them on your team last year, you had to reach for them a little bit.  Like me taking David Price in like the 9th or something.  Hoping I'd get to keep him for a handful of years in a great round (if he wasn't so sucky).  YOu should be rewarded for drafting a guy later and him being good, not penalized so you other turds can get him b/c I'm not allowed to keep a stud that I really want on my team. 

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

YOu should be rewarded for drafting a guy later and him being good, not penalized so you other turds can get him b/c I'm not allowed to keep a stud that I really want on my team.  

That's exactly what we're doing, blockhead.

If you drafted a guy and he wound up being good enough last season to be drafted two-plus rounds earlier this year: good job, fantasy baseball genius! You just earned yourself a quality keeper.

If not, but you still think he'll be leaps and bounds better next year and so still want to hang on to him, well... you can always "reach" for him again on this potential. This time two rounds earlier than you reached for him last year.

And, yeah, if he keeps getting awesomer and awesomer, eventually he'll be pushed high enough that you'll have to dump him back into the draft pool. No one ever said we were getting keepers for life. If you want that, you should go draft middle school kids with Huey and Oleg or something.

Shit, even we have limits on how long you can keep a player.

Bravo, Yeti....Bravo.

Also, on an unrelated note, I'm not hanging out in the SBox on a Sunday night to discuss the rules.

Whatever y'all come up with, just let the rest of us know.

My only firm stance is that dudes who were ever on waivers should get the waiver/free agent keeper rules applied to them, even if they were drafted at one point.
