Keeper Proposal   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #71 of 123 |
I would propose we eliminate the naming of keepers starting this years.
 
In other words, this year, there will be 72 kept players, next year 36 (as the contracts expire and no more players are signed) and the following year we would be keeper free, just like the good old days.
 
The maintains the integrity of past trades and strategies made under the existing rules, but also corrects a less-than-stellar keeper experiment over the next year or two.
 
Any thoughts?

For the record, I am likely the original backer of the keeper rules. It didn't gain any support until John posted a ninth-place finish in 2002, gaining a pair...
