metsmarathon Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 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.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 I haven't participated in a fantasy baseball auction in 20 years so forgive me if I call out $30 for Barry Larkin.

It'll be interesting though, since it's a continuous league, the balance between signing prospects and guys that'll actually contribute.
nymr83 Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 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!

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

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.

Anyone ready to take charge of this?As discussed above, who's on board with a "keeper" style league, and live auction draft?If you are doing a Keeper league its gotta be auction style. I'm for it but it might get tricky rules wise.
smg58 Old-Timey Member Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 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 Old-Timey Member Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 You could have an auction for the starting roster and then snake-draft the bench?
Guest attgig Guests Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 is there still room for another gm in this league?
smg58 Old-Timey Member Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Since I don't think anything's been settled, welcome abordick!
