    It's time to dust off your balls and pull the catcher's mitts out of the pile, and roll it back for another year of keeper fantasy baseball. Everybody please check in here.

    Also give some thought to your upcoming keepers. Here are the keepers for all teams from last year. Remember that a player must have a number below (not equal to) the slot number in order to be kept in that slot. Everyone else on your team not listed can be considered to have a number of zero.

    Mine are pretty straightforward this year. However, next season is going to be crazy because I will be able to keep only one of my top five best players (spoiler alert: it will be Vlad). Definitely will be open to multiple deals this season in anticipation of that.

    I've got Zach Wheeler available for a draft pick, if someone prefers him to their keeper candidates. Top 20 pitcher every year on a per game basis, just don't have room to keep this year.

    I will be back - lots of great keepers on my roster if anyone is interested - possibly for just draft swaps. Let me know.

    I haven't generated the lottery yet for the top 4 picks -- I can get that done this weekend sometime. The playoff teams are reverse order total points, with champion always last, so:

    1. TBD
    2. TBD
    3. TBD
    4. TBD
    5. Ray Martinez
    6. PhiSlammaJamma
    7. RedNation
    8. Rocketball

    Is anyone able to reach out to Ray Martinez?

    I did the non-playoff teams lottery this morning using https://www.fantasydraftlottery.com/ with the anti-tank weighting: 14 to 11 lottery balls per team based on total points best to worst. The generator site has no option to send out direct e-mail results, unfortunately, or else I would have entered them, but it's legit.

    Here are the results:

    1. SamCassell
    2. fadeaway
    3. FLASH21
    4. chrisjent

    Congrats to Sam.

    So final order will be:

    1. SamCassell
    2. fadeaway
    3. FLASH21
    4. chrisjent
    5. Ray Martinez
    6. PhiSlammaJamma
    7. RedNation
    8. Rocketball

    It's still a bit early to start the draft. Opening day is March 30 so we'll look at getting it on the go in March sometime.

    Haven't heard from @chrisjent at all. And @Rocketball didn't submit a new list, but maybe he wants to go with last year's.

    I heard from chrisjent and he is actually travelling until Tuesday, so I offered to start it then to accomodate. Still should be plenty of time to complete before opening day.

    Travelling is a turnover. It's in the rulebook.
