CPF NL League 2012

looks like it could be an interesting thing to try.

i'm certain there'll be a significant benefit to anyone whose ever played a auction draft before, and an even more significant benefit to anyone who won't have a munchkin nipping at their heels all night long.

the draft will be like herding cats, i'm sure. but what the heck. i have a title to defend.

I haven't participated in a fantasy baseball auction in 20 years so forgive me if I call out $30 for Barry Larkin.

Never have. It'll be interesting though, since it's a continuous league, the balance between signing prospects and guys that'll actually contribute.

Keep your ENTIRE 40-man for next year? Sign me the heck up, I love deep leagues and I love leagues with long term keeper decisions. Let's do it!

Sounds like fun.

i would imagine if its truly realistic some players would be due raises? I don't know this.

Also, can't imagine you'd wanna keep all 40 but some stability is a good thing.

Not sure. I think their value does go up and that affects the cap or whatever.

there's a drop deadline every spring. for most leagues it was last week. I saw something about voting off players on the other teams too. I guess that's akin to offering them bigger contracts to leave.

If you are doing a Keeper league its gotta be auction style. I'm for it but it might get tricky rules wise.

[smg58]

Auction bidding for 40-player teams could take a long while, too. And we would all have to be there. Unless you have everybody submit one bid per player, like you would for a guy on the waiver wire?

[nymr83]

You could have an auction for the starting roster and then snake-draft the bench?

is there still room for another gm in this league?

Since I don't think anything's been settled, welcome abordick!
