I'd like to stick with the keeper league (not that it'll help me all that much at this point). It a unique way to draft and manage throughout the season vs. other single season leagues. Two unrelated suggestions for next season. Possibly locate a website that allows for the 2 game periods a week, as in past seasons, and a way to monitor the SP/RP appearances per matchup and for the season. I know in the past you (Fade) were doing this manually. I don't think we should consider that an option, but I'm hoping there is some site that can replicate your efforts. I think matchups this season were far too reliant on how many SP starts you could get per week. Managers were just looking to stack as many 2 start pitchers as possible, minimizing strategy and the importance of the rest of the lineup. Second, I think we should consider expanding the league by two teams. Our teams all have a great amount of depth and there may be too much talent on the wire. I think an expansion draft (where we protect 'X' number of players to begin with, and then 'X+1' once a given team's player is drafted) would dilute the talent enough where it may actually create a whole or two in each teams roster. Going forward, this may allow for a little more trade activity and/or need to manage our rosters more actively.
I'm all for adding 2 more teams. If switching to a non-keeper would encourage that, then by all means I'm in favor of giving it up. I also liked the 2 games per week format, because the streaming 2-start pitchers strat is annoying. You almost have to start scrub 2-start guys over your ace 1-start option.
If it's a redraft I might be interested in joining back up. I bailed as I didn't really have the time then (I had just got married) and I really didn't like the keeper format or rules that went with them.
expansion would be fine.... maybe a compromise, just keep 3 or 5 max really love to find a way to have the two game periods, the once a week start and watch is for more boring
