2015 Desipio Baseball League

Let's for sure give them picks 1 and 2 this year, but then also allow them 5 keepers from the pool of free agents.  We can slot those guys from rounds....13-17?

So they're picking keepers from the season-end list of un-rostered players? In rounds 13-17, regardless of draft position last season?

I'm just throwing shit out there that doesn't involve me losing my players, okay? I'm aware it makes no sense.

Better idea:
We each protect 5 guys. 
They then draft up to 5 guys each, no more than one from each team.

We then go back and keep any of our players who were undrafted in the expansion draft.   

Then, for the real draft, the team who got the first expansion pick gets the 2nd pick in the first round (and vice-versa.)

Does that work?

[PenFoe]

Expansion's fine with me, I think we all could use our share of however many millions of dollars we charge for the expansion fee.

Does anybody have the draft list from last year?  I need it to figure out what round I actually picked these stiffs in.

Are we still wedded to the idea of having RF, CF, LF, OF, OF or can we discuss just starting five outfielders (or however many we start)?

Working on the spreadsheet of rosters and keeper status. It'll be done by tomorrow AM.

We currently have just RF, LF, CF and then 1 UTIL slot.
I like keeping it like this because I think it forces a lot more strategy than just OF. Also, since so many guys have multiple position eligibility I don't think it's that big a challenge to fill it.

But, I'm not falling on my sword for it either, so open to discussion.

Only a meathead would want just generic OF slots.  Who's a meathead here?

What's this about expansion?  Let's do it.  Did you guys tell them about the ante?  If they want some of my keepers, then that's gonna cost them 5 more bucks.  PER, if you catch my drift.

Here is a doc with the final rosters and keeper status for each player.

Chuck/Oleg - get studying. 

Let's try to have the expansion draft by end of next week (after we figure out how many players we're protecting.)

Can you post the excel file?

I'm already calling this the worst decision this league has made since having individual outfield positions

Ha ha.  Chuck's in your fantasy baseball league.

I think that before the studying commences, we need to know the keepers for everyone else, right?

Also, what does N/A mean? Does that mean that player cannot be kept? Or does that player just cost a 1st round pick.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

Keepers are kept two rounds ahead of their draft position last season, so first and second round draftees are unavailable.

Thank you.

Is there a better forum to ask my questions or will this one do?

One more for now: If I have two players who would cost the same draft pick (for example, two WW pickups), can I choose which player I keep in the lower draft spot?

I believe this was hashed out in the ShoutBox.  Anyone care to provide Oleg with a Slogger link?

OK. Players ranked W were waiver pickups? And they can be frozen with a 13th rounder, it appears? And Oleg has a good question. What happens if you want to keep multiple W players?

[J. Walter Weatherman]

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.
