2012 Official Desipio Fantasy Baseball Keeper League™ Exsploogeaganza Thread

[JD]

after finally signing up for this year, i saw the keeper option that yahoo now has.  can we use that?  does JD have to make it so when we click on a guy as a keeper, it'll designate what round he's kept in?

It looks like the draft order will still have to be edited manually after the keepers have been selected in order to set the proper rounds.

But using that might lighten the commissioner load at least somewhat.

If you guys would un-hide your email addresses, I'll just make you co-commissioner so you can input your own keepers and round.  We gotta get it full first, though. 

Andy, what's your email address?  I'll send you an invite to take over RV's team.

Already did so yesterday, friend.

I already selected my keepers. 

Though I might have to adjust it after Tommy Hanson crashed his car into Space Mountain this morning.

We gotta get it full first, though.

At this point, we appear to be missing Simmer, Dolan, LDA and Mr. Speed.

Sap, y'all.

I sent an invite there, but nothing's happened.  I can only assume he's not interested since RV's not gonna be in it.

I'm in.  Oh, it'll be glorious.

Somebody catch me up on the keeper rules.  It appears you can keep anybody you have who wasn't a first or second rounder, and what's the limit?

No limit.

If the player you want to keep was drafted (by you or anyone else) last season, you keep him two rounds earlier than he was picked last year. If he was a free agent pick up, you can keep him in the 13th round.

If you have two keepers in the same round, you'll have to choose one to take a round earlier—doesn't matter which. Three keepers in the same round, bump one of your choice up one round, another up two rounds. Etc, etc, etc.

Hey... Simmer showed.

Time to lock down the league at 12 teams?

[Simmer]

Thanks to JD and Hoseph for the reminders.  When is the keeper deadline?  I might as well do mine now, made easy thanks to ChuckD's awesome spreadsheet.

1 - Josh Hamilton
8 - Mike Stanton
9 - Daniel Hudson
23 - Eric Hosmer

I just finalized the teams list at 12 (sans LDA and Mr. Speed) and set the custom draft order, hoping we could get going on getting keepers slotted into place.

But it turns out that commissioners can't approve keeper picks that team owners make until after the keeper deadline (currently March 8) has passed anyways. So... no rush, I guess (though the keeper deadline could be moved up if everyone's ready before then).

And if those guys both materialize, I guess we could open it back up to 14 teams.

If everyone gets the picks in, then that's what we'll do.  This is definitely a game-changer.

I'm all for moving quickly, but is there really a huge reason why we have to finalize keepers and have them set in stone 4-5 weeks before the season starts?

I don't really think so.

But, of course, I haven't picked out my own keepers yet.

I'm in if you're looking to get back to 14.
