Timely Hitting Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I don't speak for the commish but think he agrees with me on the starting over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cee Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Think if we just drop down to 3 keeps that works... but yeah idk. Or run a 3 draft round reduction every year until they have to be your 1-2-3 picks. whomever has a top keeper sp like kersh forever is always gonna have a good team with this scoring tho.

rjt Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 We're starting over. You lose the draft pick of the round the player was taken, so the guy with Kershaw will never have a 1st round pick. Maybe we could also make a rule where you can only keep a player for maximum of 3 years. Probably unnecessary - I doubt Kersh will still be great 4 years from now. We need to vote on some scoring changes, too. Make wins for pitcher 7 points instead of 10. Then make quality start worth 3 points. Get rid of -5 for blown save. Might have been other issues with scoring. Don't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 can we do like -.5 for a KO instead of a full point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomorrow's Newspaper Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yeah, lets reward the guys for not planning ahead and getting good keepers I passed on guys that could have helped me more then to build good keepers. Seems fair to throw that all away. Not sure if Im playing next year. Will get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjt Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hurts me more than anyone. I'm giving up best SP and best bat keep. League has gotten boring though. Starting over would add some excitement. And with every player in the draft pool, nobody will have an excuse for not getting good keeps. Everyone should wind up with a few studs unless they choke in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjt Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 George getting fucked too letting go of this top keep It's January and Dodgers already limiting him Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that the team has kicked around the idea of having Julio Urias begin the year in extended spring training in an effort to limit his innings.

rjt Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 We got like 4 guys who are quitting if we don't start over so there wouldn't be a league anyway if we keeps things the same We'd have to bring back MC, Tuck, Chute, Books as managers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow's Newspaper Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 if you guys think keeper wins this league you are crazy. The top two guys raped the waiver wire at 7:01 EST every week. I just finally got 5 good keepers and was looking forward to at least one year with them. 2 years ago I had Beechy, AGonz and Hanley as keepers. I didnt bitch, i worked my way out of it. Not surprising the liberals want the free handout though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripp Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 If its up to an actual league vote im with TN/George and no restart, at least not for another year Think its absolutely nuts that people think its a good idea to just pull the plug without a warning year or whatever you want to call it. Doesnt matter that people that feel they are giving up the best keepers say they are giving up more so doesnt matter what others think. Guys plan their draft, their trades etc all around the keeper league angle. Last year is COMPLETELY different if everyone knew keeps were gone. Maybe same team wins who knows but moves would have been drastically diff IDK that im gonna threaten to be out like most here if the decision/vote doesnt go my way, but i do think its a little f'd up to make that choice halfway (even later) through a keeper season. Thats a pre-season decision and then everyone plays out the year with that knowledge. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripp Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Also with TN that the biggest change that has to be made is for the waiver wire Keeps are a big edge having kersh etc every year, but biggest edge is a few guys who always get the 2 steps and the big waiver pickups. Thats a big reason TTP dominates the league better than anyone with usually average keeps (that and his great rape deals). Gotta make it more like football leagues or even most bases leagues with a hold period where everyone is able to put in their claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising the liberals want the free handout though. I agree keeps are overrated, and you can turn your keeps around in one year with a good draft, but starting over will make the league more fun I think. Some rules need to be changed. I think the league needs to be spiced up a little bit. As hard as saying goodbye to Sale twice in one year is going to be for me I'm willing to do it for the betterment of the league!

HRWager Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yeah it would be good for guys like you and me that suck year in and year out but whats going to happen is that the same losers will be back asking for the league to restart in 2 years when they notice that their team sucks again and the same guys will be at the top. If its restarted there should be some rules like a 5 year minimum before its done again or stuff like that because all the losers will want to restart every year.The top 2 owners in the league are willing to restart , while the guys continually in last don't want to.

rjt Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Have to say agree with Tripp like I have for last few years that league could use some "spicing" up. There is 0 trades at this point. Can we consider some changes for next year to add some new life into the league. Here are some ideas 1. More keepers. Has people go after more younger guys and trades will ramp up when you need to keep more.2. Less keepers. Opens up the draft to better players3. Scrap the whole thing and start again where its a real keeper league where you lose the draft spot of the guy you keep4. Make a rule to lessen how many starting pitchers can be on the bench5. If you keep a guy you can only keep him 3 years and then hes back in the player pool or has to be traded Anything sound good? 3 and 4 RIP TTP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
