Keeper Baseball -- part deux

[danny's stogie]

One last thing: I need 2 people to assist me in trade review. The format is that I say "yay" or "nay" on trades and then the two panel members can nullify my vote. Members of the panel obviously have to step aside when they're involved in the trade and they must agree if the commish is a party in the trade. A little checks and balances on the commish. I'd really like to get 2 volunteers who are different from those who helped with the vote on the league agenda...not that I don't appreciate their help, just want to get as many people involved as possible. Thanks.

Ok so I have a question regarding keepers and/or the reserve squad. Will keepers be established prior to setting up the draft for the reserve squad? I know that many of us have guys that recieved late season call ups on our rosters yet have less than one full year of service. It would stand to reason that with the smaller keeper numbers this year we might not be able to keep some potentially valuable guys on our roster. So wouldnt the keepers need to be set prior to the reserve squad draft so we would all know who was or was not available?

The keeper select screen includes the amount paid for keepers last year...is that going to have any bearing on the budget for this year's auction?

Holy crap, ESPN is tying prices to auction budgets...this is new, amazing, and opens up possibilities for next season...

But for now, no, I'm going to dump the prices because they're out of line with a standard budget. Everyone will have 200 at the auction regardless of who they keep.

Yes, see the offseason timeline on the previous page.

This is exactly the plan, in fact, if you decide to keep players eligible for the reserve squad you can keep them then move them there. This gives you another spot at the regular auction, but removes your last round pick in the reserve draft.

Got it and thanks for the clarification, I missed your last post on the previous page regarding the timeline so that answers my question.

Also in regards to the draft, Sundays probably work best with my schedule but I was wondering if there was anyway we could push it back from 7:00to 7:30 because that's about the earliest I could get home.

It was either 7 or 9. I don't mind 9 if it's not too late for everyone.

I could do 9pm but I could see it being too late on a Sunday night for many I may just have to miss the first 30 mins if we stay at 7pm.

I'm cool with the either draft time. Also, id be glad to volunteer to review trades if you haven't filled the spots yet.

So we snake, and if we move one of our 5 to this roster, it takes a pick off the back end, correct?

Correct on both parts.

[danny's stogie]

Alibabba has agreed to be part of the review panel.

To clarify, as part of the "youngerster" group of keepers, you can keep anyone with less than 3 years of service. Once you set this group of keepers you have the option of moving eligible players to the reserve squad. The reserve squad players are not extra keepers above the 5.
