crab1106 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 4 minutes ago, Mr. bDoDDleS said: 1. Sure, I'd be open to bigger minor league roster. 5 was just a placeholder. As with 20 teams it would be around top 100 prospects on rosters. 2. There some complaints in Elite that just saves weren't enough and wasn't enough to go around. I I figured in a proposed deeper league we'd just go ahead and make more RP viabale. I'm in full agreement with you, but if we go 20 teams or even 15. That leaves a median of 2 closers for each team, and there aren't 30 true closers, so the RP market gets really thin. 3. I'm open to using FAB, but don't see a big point to it in this proposed league as even in Elite FA pool is bare and with more teams and with prospects on their own roster. So adding FAB is just a a hinderace more than making FA a competitive process, but open to it. Just don't see the viabality. 2. I dont mind holds, just hate them combined.

Mr. bDoDDleS Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 BTW with the Treasury aspect of the Buy-in's and prizes that will be handled by Fantrax, not me. So if there were any reservations about giving someone money to hold till end of the year should be relieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be down for this league tho as long as we dont go super crazy on rules and adjust things. I like how we do things in elite. I do like having a couple minor league spots tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like having a couple minor league spots tho Nah, I'm modeling it very similar with Elite just with the MiLB Roster that is always kept and MLB 20 keepers. Making it more of a dynasty league than keeper league. Other than that it's gonna be very similar rule wise. Even some more relaxed rules on draft pick trading due to Fantrax taking care of that for us and not having to use this thread for in-season draft pick deals.

Mr. bDoDDleS Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Only real change would be the draft each year. With more of a dynasty route the draft each year would be "New Player Draft" like RRW called it. Where guys like Mize and Victor Victor, etc. are the prizes to build a minor league system for the worst teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. bDoDDleS Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) So I know I can get more members via recruiting outside of FF. With tentatively @Dingo18287 @beekay414 @Herbie_Hancock @zelbell @BillsGuy82 @crab1106 (if Elite reboot), and myself as "OG" owners if this is a reboot of Elite. So that's 7. I'm pretty sure @Sllim Pickens could come along which makes 8, and @crab1106 you can let me know on SAX, but 7 are tentatively confirmed, with 8 (sllim), possibly 9 with SAX, and haven't heard from @biggio7 yet, and I'm sure he'll be more than a Astros team with $$ on the line, but we'll see. Losing PB & MSR for sure. @crab1106 brought up adding more MiLB players to the MiLB team rosters. What's that number look like? AND my next question for EVERYONE and more importantly @Herbie_Hancock is I know I can get 11-13 more if need be via off-site recruiting and possible FF member interest from other members as we move into 2019. 20 teams or a lesser number? Or make 14 the minimum with a max of 20 depending on interest? Does that affect the amount of MLB Keepers? MiLB Roster size? The more teams means deeper the league so maybe less MLB keepers will still give that Dynasty feel but keep the draft somewhat more than MLB backups and new prospects. EDIT Also Crab discussed not liking S/HLD's as a combined stat, I think it's fine but what do the rest of you think?

Mr. bDoDDleS Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) I'd like to iron out the math on some of these things like "Max Owners? 20?" "MiLB Roster Size (7? 10?) MLB Keepers 15? 20? Now something to realize that with a always-kept MiLB roster then that means prospects still in minors won't count against your MLB keeper total so that means more veterans get kept so I'm taking ideas on MLB keeper number. Also for the initial draft we can do both a regular MLB draft then a separate MiLB (prospect) draft with seperate random draws, of course the intial drafts will be snake but starting with the year 2 draft (everyone MLB and MiLB included) would be Fixed (Worst team first 1st pick each round), instead of snake (was a change Elite owners wanted for Elite and Fantrax supports it, unlike ESPN). Also with possibly 15-20 teams, we can do a "slow" live MLB draft on Fantrax where it isn't a must to get all 15-20 people on at once for 2-3 hours. MiLB can be handled on FF.

Mr. bDoDDleS Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) BTW Go ahead and join the possibly new league and you can unjoin later if you wish not to be apart of it but go ahead and join and get used to the site. https://www.fantrax.com/newui/fantasy/joinLeague.go?leagueId=cp2bsuycjp69c90h&isSubmit=y OR do we want just a full fledged dynasty league and keep everyone? Which makes the draft each year for new prospects and international signees? Edited December 3, 2018 by Mr. bDoDDleS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie_Hancock Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 15 teams. 15 keepers. Prospects wont count towards keepers, can have 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie_Hancock Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I also just like saves. No holds. Are we doing h2h or keeping it like we are now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we doing h2h or keeping it like we are now With 15 teams I would say we could keep it at saves, but willing to discuss. I'm open for both. Holds adds more players to the usable player pool.
