Any crazy picks yet? Been sniped by another owner that just took your guy? I was surprised by the lack #1 SPs that were not taken until later in the 2nd round. Lots of guys loading up for bats and speed.

Off to a good start. I have updated the Tracking worksheet with all of the trades. Please make sure you double check my adjustments that all the keepers affected are in the correct slots and on the correct teams.

1.06 - Mookie Betts, 2B/SS/OF, LAD

I have you in already Posty.

I have set up the Draft Tracking worksheet with all the trades and keepers along with Yahoo website. Please check everything to make sure it is correct and maybe we can get started before Monday if you are ready to go. We can adjust the trades and picks as they are made. Please ask for access to the worksheet and I can grant via an email. I am tracking the requests for access to the Draft Tracking sheet above an once I have all 12 owners access we can start the draft. 9 with Access - 3 more to go.

** My thanks again to Posty for providing the sheet template to get me started ! ** Keepers have been added and keeper trades have been added as well. Double check for accuracy. Keepers are noted in boldface. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1az0_PWhGgrZIkUBJ9sQD6Wnw8mkwe3mJiUKnkNPI_vM/edit?usp=sharing PLEASE do not enter anything in any location but Column D. It can and likely will mess up the formulas. If you make a mistake, please report it to me as opposed to trying to self-correct it, unless you are confident in your spreadsheet abilities. I will take lead on entering picks to the sheet, but I'm fine with folks entering picks in column D when I'm away for a while. Please do not modify for trades. I'll address those. I will also try to keep the Yahoo site up to date as we progress through the draft so the available player list there stays fairly accurate along the way.

** As always, big thanks to Posty for generating the baseline sheet! ** Here is a link to the updated Keeper Sheet for the 2024 season: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pyscsWjFdehtK7ZGGR4PB8xZ0uVJerxd/edit?gid=1894374258#gid=1894374258 All ineligible keepers have been removed from the sheet. This includes the missing players, any player whose keeper round moved into round 1-5 at the start of last season and any other player who has used up their 3 keeper years. All of your eligible keepers have had their round value increased by 3 per standard rules. The "Yrs Used" column indicates the amount of years already kept on top of draft year. If this number is 2, this is the final year you can keep the player. Also remember that you do not need to keep 5, that's just the maximum and keeping fewer or none is also an option. The Keeper Value column represents the round of the draft you will need to give up to retain the player. Please declare your keepers in this thread and be sure to mark them as tentative or final. The deadline for keeper declaration will be this Thursday, 2/27 before 11:59pm. I will then enter declared keepers to the tracker sheet and get that online over the weekend. If you have not finalized keepers by that time, your tentative list will be used. If more than 5 are on the tentative list, the first 5 will be used. If no keeper list has been defined, no-one will be kept. You CAN now trade excess keepers for simple pre-draft pick swaps (also until this Fri). Use the other thread I set up to define your trade bait/untouchables or to state your needs if looking for keepers. "I'll give you John Smith and my 20th for your 15th" kind of stuff only through Friday. Save anything that doesn't involve trading an excess keeper candidate until later. Do NOT post trades for players you plan to keep or for draft spot positioning yet! I will reject them out of hand. I will open things up for positioning trades as soon as the initial draft tracker sheet is online and it is easier to see where declared keepers lie within rounds. PLEASE HOLD OFF ON POSTING NON-KEEPER SPECIFIC TRADES UNTIL AFTER KEEPERS ARE FINALIZED !!

Four owners have not listed their keepers for the upcoming season. Please do so over the next day and a half as the deadline is tomorrow at Midnight. Surprised there hasn't been much trade activity yet, but we still have time before the Draft worksheet will be completed (thanks to Posty). Please keep these deadlines in mind so we can start the draft on Monday morning. Almost time!

Confirmed.

Draft Order has been set. Next point of order is to determine when to start the draft. LA and Chicago have two games in Toyko on 3/18 and 3/20 so we should try and get things started around the beginning of March so we can finish and I can load up the rosters for teams that will want to start their Dodgers or Cubs players for the first week of the season. Does March 1st work for everyone? Any discussion needed to start earlier or later?

Paul Skenes - 9th round - 1st year Mason Miller - 10th round - 1st year Felix Bautista - 19th round - 1st year Shohei Ohtani (pitcher) - 14th round - 1st year Sonny Gray - 18th round - 2nd year

KEEPER LEAGUE RULES Current Rules: * Roster Size : 30 round snaking draft with 6 IL spots available. See Yahoo league site for lineup configurations and scoring stats used. * You can keep up to 5 players from your prior year's final roster. You do not have to keep 5, but that is the maximum. * Contract length is 4 years max (draft year + 3). Keeper service time and round status will follow a player if traded or if picked up from the WW. Be aware of this when trading for another team's keepers. * Players drafted in rounds 1 through 5 cannot be kept the following year. Note that if a keeper's round value moves them into the first 5 rounds, they become ineligible to keep the next year regardless of the number of years you've had them. * For each player you keep, you must give up a draft pick 3 rounds higher than the player's draft position the year before. If you have two players at the same draft round value that you wish to keep, then the next earlier draft round must be given up as well to retain both. For example, in order to keep two 15th round picks, you would have to use your 12th AND 11th rounders to keep both OR acquire an additional 12th round pick before the draft begins to prevent this from happening. Be aware of this when trading for another team's keepers. * Players acquired via free agency cannot be kept unless they were drafted during that year. * Only players in the Yahoo database can be drafted. * Future draft picks cannot be traded. * Determine waiver priority by - FAB w/ Continual rolling list tiebreak. * Weekly limits - min IP of 30 - min AB of 150 (via gentleman's agreement). * Season transaction limit is 80. For playoffs, counter is reset and 20 transactions are allowed for the playoffs.
