Are we doing it again this year? Would anyone be interested in a keeper league?

I'd be interested. Although I've never done a fantasy sport thing ever... my dad is completely obsessed with it lol.

I'd love a keeper league. Sign me up either way, tho. I also don't mind being commish, if no one else wants to.

I'm not sure I deserve to be in the league after going absentee for a couple of months last summer. But if you need an even number, count me in.

Set up a keeper league on ESPN, but I can remove the keeper option if no one really wants it.

Settings to note (If you don't like any of these, speak up)...

Teams: 12 (will change if needed)
Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, Middle Infield, Corner Infield, 5 OF, 1 Utiil, 9 Pitchers (relief or starter). (This is the ESPN default).

Scoring: 7x7

Batting
Batting Average (AVG) Home Runs (HR)
Runs Scored (R) Runs Batted In (RBI)
Stolen Bases (SB) On Base plus Slugging Pct (OPS)
Total Bases (TB)

Pitching
Earned Run Average (ERA)* Strikeouts (K)
Walks plus Hits Per Innings Pitched (WHIP)* Wins (W)
Saves (SV) Quality Starts (QS)
Strikeout to Walk Ratio (K/BB)

I added a couple to this to add more depth. Total bases is one of the more overlooked stats in a traditional league. A guy who hits a ton of doubles and triples is not rewarded in a standard league. Same with quality starts, it means you can get some good production out of pitchers on bad teams.

Limit of 6 pick-ups from the free agent list per week. Will move this down if we want to prevent "streaming" of pitchers.

LM only veto power. No league votes for trades. Just so things go more quickly. We can discuss unfair trades on here or on the message board for the league.

6 teams make the playoffs, 1 week per playoff matchup.

5 keepers for next year.

Let me know if you have questions. PM me your e-mail so I can invite you, as well. I am willing to change things if you guys would like a different system.

Also...

Do we want to do an auction draft? Let me know if you do, otherwise we'll do it normally.

Let's stick to a normal draft. We don't want another HMO-moment.

Hey guys, it's TTL. I was locked out of my TTL name because I changed my e-mail, so I dusted this one off to post in the meantime.

Go ahead and PM me your e-mails again, if you would, but to this address. I'll send you invites from there.

Don't forget to get in touch with me if you wanna play. PM me your e-mail.

Also, let me know what number of keepers you guys want. Already had one response to the poll on the league page, and it was to have less than 5.

If Vastrw, matthews, drewdawg, and Sly (or anyone else) sign up, we'll have 12 and be all set.

PM me e-mail addresses, guys. or anyone else who wants to play, first come, first serve.

Also, looks like 5 is the keeper number that most people want, but there's still time to let your voice be heard.

Also, any particular day of the week that you guys want to draft on? Any time that's good for everyone? Saturday nights aren't good for me, Sunday evenings are usually better, and a couple select weekday nights are good for me as well.

5 is too many, IMO. I'd stick with 3.

I can do any time other than Wednesday nights and Sunday evenings from 6:30-8:00. But don't hold up the draft because of me.
