stl_ben Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I really like this way of having a keepers! If you get a deal in the 15th round.....then it doesn't hurt your #1 pick next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm into unique ideas about keepers, but I think the point of tying keepers to your first picks is to help maintains some parity within the league. Unless I am missing something, this approach seems like it has the potential to upset that balance? If you're 10th round pick turns out to be the number one overall player it seems like you've already received that benefit of that smart pick and I'm less inclined to extend it for the next few years. Am I misunderstanding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I misunderstanding? case in point, when i drafted Trout i got him at #3. I mean not as dramatic as 10th but similar. Im up for whatever.

Am I misunderstanding? well, first things, the is not a deep league, so the talent is definitely going to be spread through 15+ rounds. take a look at last years draft results. http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/archive/mlb/2014/25353/draftresults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Also, if you trade a draft pick slot that a keeper would then fall on, that kept player moves to the next round up. So if you traded your 9th pick, but the 11th round player you drafted is one you want to keep, they would then be kept in the 8th round, since you no longer have a 9th rd pick.

thebiglebowski Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just checking in an a fantasy baseball thread. Seems that there is a loophole with the whole traded players don't move up 2 rounds idea. Two people could swap 3rd round picks (assuming the players are of equivalent value) just so that they would stay 3rd round keepers instead of first. Kinda gaming the system. At least, I think that's how I'm understanding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, I think that's how I'm understanding it. trades can be vetoed, so if people feel thats whats happening they can shoot it down. what it does is incentivise trades, and makes the league active throughout the year. I think we had a total of 6 trades last season, this is an idea to increase that activity stl_ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm fine with whatever you come up with! Honestly, I don't really like keeper leagues and wish it was a redraft anyway so I'm probably not the nest person to ask about keepers.

whoshotthefrog Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 oh my god alabama, your pitching was INSANE. 9 wins is pretty damn strong!
