Keeper numbers are before rollover so if he remained in that spot he would be kept 5 times. The keeper number must be below the slot number and it has been this way from the beginning. Sorry.
After some investigative work, I've figured it out 2016 Then before the next season's draft, Rook posted: Fade's post for 2017:
Continuing from above, this is what Rook should've posted: Rook Slot A (indefinite) Bryce Harper - 4 Slot B (4 max) George Springer - 2 Slot C (4 max) Jose Abreu - 2 Slot D (3 max) Manny Machado - 1 Slot E (3 max) Trea Turner - 0 Slot F (2 max) Nelson Cruz - 0 Slot G (2 max) Alex Bregman - 0 Since fade didn't catch the mistake, everyone from Rook's team was given an extra year. His current situation should be (prior to rollover for 2018) Rook Slot A (indefinite) Bryce Harper - 5 Slot B (4 max) George Springer - 3 Slot C (4 max) Jose Abreu - 3 Slot D (3 max) Manny Machado - 2 Slot E (3 max) Trea Turner - 1 Slot F (2 max) Nelson Cruz - 1 Slot G (2 max) Alex Bregman - 1
I don't know what to tell you. His keeper number was 3 before rollover last year and is 4 before rollover this year. You can go back through all the previous league threads and track it if you want, but I have no time for that. I know you are attached to Springer because you had multiple appearances on The Jerry Springer Show back in the day during Donkey Week, but it's time to let go, dude. These rules were established in the first place to promote player turnover, so look at it as a trade opportunity.
Thanks RedNation for doing the detective work! I guess you were right, Rook, and your guys are eligible to be kept.
Rook if you want Abreu back, I'll trade him back to you if you want to make him a keeper now. Not sure why you accepted the trade in the first place since you didn't keep Hoskins Anyways, if not, my keepers now are: Slot A (indefinite) Mike Trout-4 Slot B (4 max) Madison Bumgarner-2 Slot C (4 max) Nolan Arenado-2 Slot D (3 max) Carlos Correa-2 Slot E (3 max) Andrew Benintendi-0 Slot F (2 max) Christian Yelich-0 Slot G (2 max) Jose Abreu-0
Posting an updated version of this since Rook's numbers were incorrect. This is the situation going into the 2018 draft (prior to rollover). Everyone else on your team can be considered to have a number of zero.

I didn't realize we were allowed to add players to our team from the FA pool prior to the new season beginning. I know we can drop players but do you guys typically allow adding players to teams? BCB has done so multiple times already, that's why I'm asking.
