New Fantasy Baseball League

The problem with net saves is it still leaves out elite relievers who are in set-up roles. If anything, it makes it even worse to roster them because they are often brought in with no chance of a save, but they might blow one by losing a lead in the seventh or eighth inning.

I see the value in both ideas. They might be a more true measure of player accomplishments.

 

That's what I was thinking. Better to have a season of roster building knowing that rule will be in place. Maybe if we make the change, the best way would be to adopt the rule for 2024, but to do so before the 2023 draft.

 

How do we see our past drafts and rosters?

I think I figured it out. I think I have eight guys I want to keep.

 

In case you aren't sure, on the site home page, hit the drop-down menu on Draft and select Last Season. That will show you your current roster and what round those players were drafted in last year. If no round is listed, they were not drafted.

As a reminder to all, please email me your six-man keeper lists by March 9 at 8:15 p.m. You may send more than one version of your list, but the last one I got by the deadline is the final one. In other words, you could send me a six-man keeper list today, but you can still change your mind up until the deadline.

I will share my own list with the league some time before the deadline.

 

I received the first keeper list. Please remember to put the round of draft pick for each player just to be sure we are on the same page. Remember, you may send a version early, then revise it at the deadline.

Sending the rosters via PM on this site is the easiest way to go. You could even post them in the thread. I'm posting my keepers below, though knowing me, I'll change my mind 10 times by Thursday.

1. Austin Riley (16)
2. Kyle Wright (20)
3. Triston McKenzie (14)

Reminder: Keeper lists are due 8:15 p.m. Eastern today. You are all certainly welcome to wait until the last minute, but I suggest sending a list sooner, and if you do change your mind, you can still amend it up until the deadline.I have eight lists. I am missing the following:

Decisions, decisions...
