For those of you who enjoy live draft leagues, fantasy baseball keeper leagues, or playing the role of a general manager, THIS IS THE LEAGUE FOR YOU!
OVERVIEW:
We are starting a live draft keeper league, beginning with the 2010 season. After 20 owners sign up, we will run a live draft of the 2010 MLB players. After the regular season ends, each owner will choose 5 players (their 2011 version) that they want to keep for the 2011 season. After the 2010 season, we will then run a 2011 live draft (excluding the 5 players that each owner has reserved). After the 2011 regular season ends, we will each select 5 keepers (the 2012 version), and prepare for the 2012 season. I am planning to run 3 seasons per calendar year, so our league will continue till our draft year catches up to the current year (around 2024).
The 2010 live draft will start on January 6th, 2020. Hopefully, this will give everyone enough time to sign up and prepare.
DETAILS:
When signing up, each owner will select a unique present-day ballpark. For simplicity, we will use the current 30 MLB ballparks for the 2010 season. Each owner will be placed in that corresponding division.
- $100 million salary cap (most teams will be between $60-80 million).
- AL teams will use a DH; NL teams will not.
- No clones.
- Yes trades.
- No transaction deadline.
- Random below avg 6/2 AAA.
LIVE DRAFT:
- Random draft order for our first season
- Snake-style draft format
- 10 minute rounds
- 3 picks per day (double picks for rounds 18-25)
With the added dimension of keepers each year, anyone can rise to the top for future seasons. It will be more difficult to form a dynasty. Are you ready for the challenge?
Please sign up below with your home ballpark (I will pick 12th). Thank you for joining.
Good luck everyone!
