    On another note, people aren't exactly beating down the door to fill up the two empty spots, so it's looking more and more like we're going to have to cut it down to an 8 team league. How does everyone feel about that?

    I think it sort of sucks, but I also really hate the whole revolving-door thing we've had going for the past couple of seasons with people that only stay for one year and don't properly manage their team.

    Also, how are we liking the keeper format? It has been a few years now since we've had keepers. Is it something we enjoy and want to keep doing? Obviously, we'll keep doing it for this year no matter what and make any changes next season -- if there are any.

    I am fine with the 8 teams if we need, because it is 8 that have been in this league for a long time, are all active through the season and quite frankly very easy to beat (had to throw that in!). But in all seriousness I am with you and tired of the revolving door as guys not staying active and leaving after a year.

    I like the keepers, it makes the season and trading a little more fun, so I would stick with it, however sometimes 4 is tough, with a team as strong as mine it is tough to limit it down to 4. Granted on the flip side some teams, like DH, have a tough time getting to four as you can see from his selections...... :D

    I wouldn't mind a move to 8 teams, although it's too bad we can't find 10 good owners. I think the replacement-level talent available would necessarily rise, making quality depth easy to acquire.

    I also wouldn't be against adding keeper spots, as we go. If we moved to 6 keepers next year, that wouldn't be a bad thing. I don't want to diminish the draft too much, but a couple more keepers wouldn't hurt.

    I'm fine with 8 teams as we've been here for a while together (I'm still the n00b!) but would like it if we could add at least one more keeper for next year.

    I do like the idea, especially with 8, with more keepers........

    Fade, I sent you my money, let me know if you got it as I am not sure I did it right (I used a different gmail account which is mgsnrs). I also sent $10, instead of $6, because I figured with less this year will need to put more in and did not want to do it again.

    I'm more than happy with 8 players and as a result love to see the keepers increased to 5 or 6 for right now

    fade - just done the money

    Okay, I was talking to jent and he's in.

    So, we are all confirmed, paid up and ready to go. I'm okay with increasing the number of keepers to 6 if that's what everyone decides, but it will come into effect next year.

    Now that everyone is confirmed, we might as well get the draft order established. Here is the list we'll be using based off last year's total points count for each team:

    1. PSJ (6656)
    2 DarkHorse (6913)
    3. Smeg (7178)
    4. SamCassell (7224)
    5. chrisjent (7366)
    6. Rook (7550)
    7. fadeaway (7652)
    8. LongHornFan (7197) (champ gets the last choice)

    So, PhiSlammaJamma gets first dibs on which draft spot he wants, then DarkHorse will decide, then Smeg, etc...

    All the players on the two empty teams will be released into the player pool, so there are going to be some pretty awesome players available for you bums lucky enough to have first round picks this year (Reyes, M.Cabrera, Berkman, Rollins, etc.., etc..).

    That's all I read.

    Remember the Alamo, and remember my awesome run taking down the best teams with my awesome September pickups on my crappy team. I was totally Morey and beat suckers down!

    The expansion to six keepers would happen next year, not now, so you have to choose 4 for this season.
