Keeper rules
You may keep a max of 3 players by giving up a draft pick in the round earlier than the round he was drafted the previous year. So for example Roddy White would be kept for a 3rd round pick this year.

You may not keep players drafted or kept in the 1st and 2nd round the previous years. For example, Le'Veon Bell was kept for a 2nd last year so he can not be kept for a 1st this year. Arian Foster was drafted in the 2nd last year so he can not be kept for a 1st this year (not that anyone would do that).

Players must be kept on your roster for the entire season to be eligible to be kept the next season, or you can keep players acquired via trade as long as they were not dropped to waivers by a team during the year. Players that were not drafted can not be kept.

If you were to acquire two players that were drafted in the same round and want to keep both players the next season, you must give up a draft pick in the round earlier than the round the players were drafted in the previous year, and a pick in two rounds earlier than the round the players were drafted in the previous year. You are able to determine which player is kept for the lower pick and which player is kept for a higher pick. For example, Kraftster kept Julius Thomas in 2014 for a 15th pick and acquired via trade Mark Ingram who was also drafted in the 15th round (by Mikey). He has so far decided to keep Ingram for a 13th and Thomas for a 14th.

Roster rules
There are a total of 17 roster spots. You may start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (WR/RB/TE), 1 K, and 1 D. There are no IR spots and there are no limits on number of players you can have for each position.

Last year there was only waivers (3 days) when a player was dropped otherwise players could be picked up at any time as long as they hadn't played for the week. So a player that played on Thursday couldn't be picked up until Monday. Likewise, a player that played Monday could be picked up anytime prior to the Monday game start time. Players that played could not be dropped for a FA until Monday. Waiver wire order was based on last person to make a waiver claim going to the back of the order. I may be wrong on some of the waiver points.

Draft
Serpentine draft performed offline on the board. There are 17 rounds. There historically have been no rules regarding how long you have to make a pick, but we have in the past put rules in place when drafts have lagged. Draft picks can be traded for other draft picks or players.

If you have traded for more than 17 picks you can only draft 17 players, but are allowed to throw out any of the draft picks of your choice. If you have traded away picks so that you have less than 17 picks, you can fill out your roster when the draft ends, but none of the un-drafted players are eligible to be kept the next season.

Draft order in the past has been determined randomly.

As the winningest LGPer, I would support this move for LGP fantasy leagues so that we don't have to deal with Kicksave's situation.

As long as we get everyone in the league from the old site to transition here, I don't see why it would be a problem. The LGP Football League should be an easy one to transfer.

Pitts in da house! I'm going to STRONGLY suggest a separate forum for fantasy tho! Been asking for years over at the other place to deaf ears. I always hate having to dig through a bunch of other unrelated forums to find the fantasy hockey threads!

I'm heading to the suggestions forum right now!

I'm fine with that. I think we could just have them in the same area as the Warz games.

I like that. I'd say for now keep the fantasy in one place (over there) until the season ends.

I look forward to our baseball league name being changed to "5AF FANTASY BASEBALL"

Can I start a 5AF fantasy baseball league? Maybe simple keeper but not dynasty, since we already have a dynasty?

Sure, why not. Probably would need to do the draft online though at this point.

I'd do another keeper.

Id be in for a baseball keeper league.

Would the new keeper league be as in depth as the other one? I just couldn't keep up with that one.

I'm pumped to be able to draft for myself again.

I would say a simple keeper. MLB rosters only - 4 mandatory keeper rounds, 1 optional keeper round (can either choose to draft in the 5th round or keep a 5th guy... if you trade for an additional 5th round pick you can only use 1 on a keeper though).

Thoughts?

And I would do an online draft for this year

That seems way easier.

I love the dynasty league but it's not for everyone.

I'll start a separate thread for roll call... anybody have a preference on which platform to use?

I like Yahoo because the apps are pretty good.

Yahoo

I prefer Yahoo. I'm only in one league that is outside of Yahoo and I constantly forget about that team.

I did my money league draft last night, under less than ideal circumstances. The draft was scheduled about a month ago, two weeks ago I asked for a date change, a week later the commish responds by just dismissing my request. Then I was pissed cause I wish I had quit the league years ago...and just thought I would auto draft. I went to a show, but still had an hour and a half to do most of the draft. But I was drafting with a couple of friends over.

I ended up drafting a lot of players that I can't stand, and didn't get any starting pitchers until auto draft.

Offense: Lucroy, A Gonzalez, J. Gyorko, Andrus, Longoria, C. Gomez, Harper, B. Hamilton, Pence, Bruce, J.Hamilton, Teixeira, J. Pederson
Pitching: McHugh, Shoemaker, Lackey, Kimbrel, Jansen, Paplebon, Rodriguez, Cischek, A. Miller, W. Davis.

My 2nd and 3rd picks are bothering me. Harper and Gonzalez. I could have taken Puig in the second, but went with Harper, and was between Gonzalez and Freeman in the 3rd. I think I chose right with Gonzalez because of the RBI's. I really like my team in SB, HR and Saves. Pence and Jansen were good values because of their current injuries, and I like Longoria and Bruce to have bounce back years.

I left the same note on the other board, but for anyone no longer going there, for the LGP Fantasy Baseball League, I assume we need to have rosters and signings finalized soon since the season starts Sunday night, and then time is needed to update the rosters on Yahoo.

I'll continue to run the $20 FF league.

Yeah, we need our rosters updated on Yahoo to get things started. Can anyone help with this?

I believe Troy is the only one who can do it unless someone else has commish access. He said on the other board that he will try to do it before the season starts, but needs everyone to update the Google doc. I think if you could at least put your final major league roster in the league thread on the other board, we should be ok.
