I know keeping the closers is sketchy. But I wasn't really confident about the rest of my roster, especially Hamels with his injury.

I justified it as outfield being deep and Harper being an injury risk.

Quick question, someone link me to these Standings Predictions, if they don't mind. I can't seem to find them anywhere.

They were only on the draft page. Thankfully, I'm still there, but I have no way to actually send them to you.

If you want to do that analysis thing like last year, make enough thread, and use the first post to put up the rosters. Just like last year

Oh. OK.

And, sure, I could put up another thread for that. No problem.

Maybe we can try the log thing again and not have it fail after two weeks

Also, if anyone wants Headley, PM me

So, this rule may never be used, however, I'd like to throw it out there just in case. That is, a player can only be kept for three years. For example, I drafted Miguel Cabrera in 2013. I kept him for 2014. I could keep him again in 2015. But come 2016, I would have to let him back into the free agent pool. This prevents a team keeping a player for life, and also creates more decisions between who to choose. Do you pick a player going into their third year, or do you pick one slightly worse who's only entering their second?

I say this with hesitation because it wouldn't really come into play until 2016, and it's no guarantee we'll get that far. But in case we do, this will be here.

Couple questions, first: Is it an option that is executable with ESPN's services, or will it be going by the honor code? How will we keep track of this? I would be all for making this move, however.

Well, ESPN keeps everything on record. I'd just have to look back to check who kept who each year, and then if someone already used up their three years, they wouldn't be allowed to keep them again. ESPN themselves wouldn't prevent them, so I'd have to do that.

There are other factors, like what happens if a keeper is traded, or if someone re-picks a player, but those can be worried about later
