Hello boys,
With the conclusion of the fantasy football season, it's never too early to start thinking fantasy baseball! Prior to the 2014 draft, most of us (8, if I remember correctly) had brainstormed a keeper rule that stated, "you can keep one player up to 5 times, a second player only one time, and the years kept follows a player through trades". This was voted one by the rest of the league and passed with flying colors to take affect prior to the 2015 season. Since then we have had one person leave the league and two others join the league. Furthermore, I have had various discussions with other owners who have said one of two things:

Prior to the 2014 draft, most of us (8, if I remember correctly) had brainstormed a keeper rule that stated, "you can keep one player up to 5 times, a second player only one time, and the years kept follows a player through trades". This was voted one by the rest of the league and passed with flying colors to take affect prior to the 2015 season. Since then we have had one person leave the league and two others join the league. Furthermore, I have had various discussions with other owners who have said one of two things:
- We basically changed it from a two keeper league to a single keeper league.
- Our keeper rule makes things more complicated than they need to be.
With those reasons in mind, I would like to open the vote again on the keeper rule before it truly goes into affect for the first time for the upcoming 2016 season. Now, I have reviewed the trades that were made this past season, and in my opinion, there weren't any trades made with this new keeper rule in mind. Thus, I do believe that to this point our current rule hasn't changed anyones drafting/trading/waiver wire/etc strategy.
I will be the first to admit that this seems weird, to go back and vote on something that had already been passed by the league. That being said, our current keeper rule (or any keeper rule for that matter) will really change the strategy and layout of the league, so it's very important to me that the right rule is being implemented. To be clear, I am not biased towards either rule we decide to run with, but it does make me concerned that there is already hesitation on a rule that hasn't officially been implemented.
Anyway, I have the poll above closing on February 21st at 11:59pm...that's when Twins Pitchers and Catchers report to Spring Training. The sooner you vote the better! Thanks! I believe the comments below can be left "anonymously", so if you want to share thoughts please do so!
