2015 Desipio Baseball League

[PenFoe]

League has been renewed with invites sent to all of last year's teams. 

Draft date has been tentatively set for Sunday, March 29th at 8:30 pm Central time (there aren't a ton of great options available for times on that day.) 

League settings remain the same.
Keeper deadline is a few days prior: March 26th.

As usual, everyone will be made co-commish so you can enter your keepers in the system.

Or post them here and I will do it for you.

Not sure if CD has his big spreadsheet of keepers and rounds, but feel free to post if you do.

I'm very excited about my young offensive players, but my pitching makes me want to set myself on fire. 

Blurrrrgh. 

[JD]

I'm in. :)

Where can we see what round we'd keep dudes in?

Last year's draft and then move them up 2 rounds.

Anyone want to send Simmer a note? I've sent him 3 invites.

[JD]

hi

[Oleg]

Am I inferring there's a spot available?

Yes.

Simmer is now in.

Oleg wants in as well, so we'd need one more team to make it 12. 

Oleg and new team would get no keepers, but would get the first two picks, per history.

Any takers?

I was thinking about expansion. The first two picks is great and all, but doesn't really mean a whole lot. I think expansion teams in the draft should have the option to "keep" some set number of picks (maybe 4-5?) from the pool of players that are unkept by other teams?

For instance, if I decided that I was not going to keep Yoenis Cespedes in the 5th round, Oleg would have the option to pick him up with his 5th round pick.

Given that I've been a poor owner, I would be open to relinquishing my spot to Oleg.

I don't really *want* to do that. I feel like the Cubes' relevance will keep me interested all year. I'd rather get another owner in (DT20, anyone???), but if that's how it has to be, I could accept it

I'm totally fine with this in terms of how expansion teams could keep players.

I'm just skeptical that we have enough more owners who are interested, considering we already have a few that are borderline.
