DrunkBomber Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Its almost that time of year again so I figured I would start gauging interest for fantasy football. We have our Talkbears keeper league with I believe 9 returning and 1 spot available. I want to get confirmation from everyone in the league before we let new people join. We will also have free leagues for anyone wishing to play. So if you are interested in playing this year please post in this thread and we will see what kind of interest we have and how many leagues we will need.

madlithuanian Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Drunk, I'm interested in the keeper... Can you give me more info?

nfoligno Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I also remember that we had a vote, actually, several votes. As I recall, I pushed for, and lost, keeping one player, as I think we voted to keep two. I think I did win my other fight, which was to set it up so that we lose the pick one round before the spot the player was taken. So if someone took Randy Moss in the 2nd round, and wants to keep him, it would cost a 1st round pick. Ya we voted on it. I gotta go back and look to see what we decided on though lol. Ill bump the thread when I find it. I just renewed the league. We have to fill Pixotes spot unless he had a change of heart and wants to play.

nfoligno Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Does anyone know how to view last years stuff? If we are going to go with the keeper, we need to have the draft info showing who was drafted where.

nfoligno Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Memo to Last years Keeper League Owners. Okay, thanks to flea, I went back into last year's FF league site and read through some old comments/posts. Besides locking in our owners, I think we need to make sure we get a number of things truly settled before moving forward. I think we voted on some, or maybe all, of this stuff but did so on this message board, rather than the league site, so I am not sure where to find those old votes. Here are some of the issues from the end of last season. 1. Money. There was talk about raising the entry amount. Someone mentioned upping to buy in to $50. Another mentioned an increase of $5. Considering the economy of today, I personally think the more modest increase is better. So if it has not already been voted on, I would propose the entry amount be $25. 2. Money Part Two. We need to establish UP FRONT what the payouts are. We already knew the winners last year and were debating/discussing how to split it up. I think that needs to be settled up front. 3. Money Part Three. One thing I proposed last year was, in addition to a top 3 team payout, we add in an extra small payout or two. One that I always liked was paying out (usually the buy-in amount) to the team with the one week high score. One thing I always liked about this was, even teams who are out of the hunt for the big money prizes still have a reason to participate. At the end of the year, when you know you are out of it, you can still essentially win your money back with one big week from your team. 4. Keepers. I know this was heavily discussed and debated here on the boards, and ultimately voted on. Drunk has said he would try and look up the results of those votes. What I "think" I remember was 2 keepers, from anywhere in the draft, giving up one round higher than drafted, which by rule would disallow keeping last year's first round picks. Also, to be eligible for keeper status, that player had to be drafted and kept on your roster all year. If he was a waiver pickup, or cut due to injury, he is not eligible. That is what i recall. Let me know if that is wrong. 5. How do we handle the keeper part of the league for new team owners. If one, or more, owners quit, and are replaced by new owners, do those owners get to keep players based on a prior owners drafting, or do they have to start from scratch? Anyone else have any other "issues" to add. As I said, there was a lot of discussion at the end of the season which really should have been dealt with prior to the start of the season. It was the first year for our league, and thus issues were inevitable, but I think we should be able to iron things out this year. Its almost that time of year again so I figured I would start gauging interest for fantasy football. We have our Talkbears keeper league with I believe 9 returning and 1 spot available. I want to get confirmation from everyone in the league before we let new people join. We will also have free leagues for anyone wishing to play. So if you are interested in playing this year please post in this thread and we will see what kind of interest we have and how many leagues we will need.

madlithuanian Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm not sure my status as I've wanted to take on the empty seat...but my 2 cents worth on your points (hoping I'm not jumping the gun): 1. I am honestly good with any amount. I defer to what the majority want. I put aside funds every season for various gambling on the season, and anything from $20-$100 is in my budget. 2. Agreed. Being an accountant, it key to spell out money issues at the onset. 3. I'll defer to everyone else...since I didn't play last year, I'm not sure of the ebb and flow. But generally speaking, I trend to like more opportunities to get paid! 4. let me know....those sound like reasonable rules. 5. Again, I'll defer to last years' owners on this, but in other leagues I've been involved in...the new owner simply "buys" the old owners' team. Similar to if Michael Jordan bought the Bears (we can all dream...). You get all the same players as the previous regime. Memo to Last years Keeper League Owners.

Besides locking in our owners, I think we need to make sure we get a number of things truly settled before moving forward. I think we voted on some, or maybe all, of this stuff but did so on this message board, rather than the league site, so I am not sure where to find those old votes. Here are some of the issues from the end of last season. 1. Money. There was talk about raising the entry amount. Someone mentioned upping to buy in to $50. Another mentioned an increase of $5. Considering the economy of today, I personally think the more modest increase is better. So if it has not already been voted on, I would propose the entry amount be $25. 2. Money Part Two. We need to establish UP FRONT what the payouts are. We already knew the winners last year and were debating/discussing how to split it up. I think that needs to be settled up front. 3. Money Part Three. One thing I proposed last year was, in addition to a top 3 team payout, we add in an extra small payout or two. One that I always liked was paying out (usually the buy-in amount) to the team with the one week high score. One thing I always liked about this was, even teams who are out of the hunt for the big money prizes still have a reason to participate. At the end of the year, when you know you are out of it, you can still essentially win your money back with one big week from your team. 4. Keepers. I know this was heavily discussed and debated here on the boards, and ultimately voted on. Drunk has said he would try and look up the results of those votes. What I "think" I remember was 2 keepers, from anywhere in the draft, giving up one round higher than drafted, which by rule would disallow keeping last year's first round picks. Also, to be eligible for keeper status, that player had to be drafted and kept on your roster all year. If he was a waiver pickup, or cut due to injury, he is not eligible. That is what i recall. Let me know if that is wrong. 5. How do we handle the keeper part of the league for new team owners. If one, or more, owners quit, and are replaced by new owners, do those owners get to keep players based on a prior owners drafting, or do they have to start from scratch? Anyone else have any other "issues" to add. As I said, there was a lot of discussion at the end of the season which really should have been dealt with prior to the start of the season. It was the first year for our league, and thus issues were inevitable, but I think we should be able to iron things out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfoligno Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 1. I am honestly good with any amount. I defer to what the majority want. I put aside funds every season for various gambling on the season, and anything from $20-$100 is in my budget. Understood. At the same time, I think a lot of owners own teams in multiple leagues, and if we up the buy-in too much, we may lose some guys. Especially today when most have less to spend. 5. Again, I'll defer to last years' owners on this, but in other leagues I've been involved in...the new owner simply "buys" the old owners' team. Similar to if Michael Jordan bought the Bears (we can all dream...). You get all the same players as the previous regime. Personally, I have not really formed an opinion on this yet. I have played in keeper leagues in the past, but we never dealt with the situation of a new owner. On one hand, to me, the key point of the keeper is a reward for solid drafting/risk taking from the previous year, and I question giving such a reward to someone who has not earned it. On the other hand, is it fair for a new owner to come into a situation where every other owner has a very nice opportunity, and yet the new guys doesn't? Honestly, I just don't know.

madlithuanian Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 1. I hear ya! I'd not mind $25 in the least! But, I kind of just defer that if people want to big to a bill, then 'm OK with that. Just means I go from Firestone to Pabst on the Sundays! 5. If it is a keep league and I get no players to keep, why should I want to play then? Just speaking on one perspective... I would be starting at a serious disadvantage. You do want to reward previous years' performance. Maybe I draft last then? Just thoughts... 1. I am honestly good with any amount.

nfoligno Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 As I said, I go back and forth on this. One piece that may held decide is how many teams even use the keeper option. From past experience, not all teams even keep a player. If every other team is set to keep a player, then it may be necessary to allow a new owner to do the same. As I said, I just don't know. 1.

madlithuanian Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Gotcha. I've just never seen a keeper league where no one's kept guys... But I've only played in one, so Im pretty green...

nfoligno Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I guess it is less likely in our league. In the league I previously played, you had the option to keep a player, but you also had to pay extra. I think it cost another $25. Often it was worth it, but frankly, more often than you might think, an owners keeper options just weren't that great. One, players drafted in the earlier part of the draft don't too often rise more than a round worth. For example, last year I took Schaub in the 4th. If I am picking at the top of the 3rd round this year, is Schaub that great of a keeper value? Two, while you often see "hits" with later draft picks, they are not as common as you might think. You start taking a lot of chances that simply don't pay off. Three, often you draft a player that would be nice keeper value, only to realize you cut that player. There is often so much turnover between the draft and the end of the season that an owners keeper options are more limited than you might think. Take the above player as an example. Even if you felt Schaub was a 1st round value, and thus a solid keeper value for me, it wouldn't matter as I had traded him during the season. Right now, I am liking my keeper potential. I took Mendenhall with the 13 pick, and thus he would cost me only a 12 round pick. As many are going to consider him a top 10 RB, that is awesome value. Others I like that I will choose from: Hakeem Nicks taken in the 14th round, Brent Celek taken in the 17th round and....well....that's probably it, sad to say. Take a look at the post Flea provided. There are definitely some solid keeper values, but not as many as you might think, especially when you start to knock out the players who were injured (and thus cut) and players who were traded. Put this is perspective. Take a look at Pix's old team. Who would you be looking at keeping. I think he was Brass Cajones. If you want to keep Nate Keading for a 16th pick, tell you what, I will vote in your favor Gotcha. I've just never seen a keeper league where no one's kept guys... But I've only played in one, so Im pretty green... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if that is wrong. 2 keepers, 1st rounder ineligible were definitely voted. I don't like loosing a pick above where ya drafted a player & would prefer to loose the pick where you drafted him 5. How do we handle the keeper part of the league for new team owners. If one, or more, owners quit, and are replaced by new owners, do those owners get to keep players based on a prior owners drafting, or do they have to start from scratch? new members should be allowed keepers Anyone else have any other "issues" to add.

Considering the economy of today, I personally think the more modest increase is better. So if it has not already been voted on, I would propose the entry amount be $25. $25 is fine with me. If anyone wants to keep it at $20 its fine too. 2. Money Part Two. We need to establish UP FRONT what the payouts are. We already knew the winners last year and were debating/discussing how to split it up. I think that needs to be settled up front. Top 3 got paid. Whoever it was what was the amount and what place did you come in? I want to say it was 60/30/10 but I think maybe 3rd got more than their money back. This will be easy enough to find out. We voted on this too and will keep the payout. 3. Money Part Three. One thing I proposed last year was, in addition to a top 3 team payout, we add in an extra small payout or two. One that I always liked was paying out (usually the buy-in amount) to the team with the one week high score.

Let me know if that is wrong. Yes, this is what we voted on 5. How do we handle the keeper part of the league for new team owners. If one, or more, owners quit, and are replaced by new owners, do those owners get to keep players based on a prior owners drafting, or do they have to start from scratch? IMO without question a new owner inherits the roster of the gm leaving. Its not fair to have them start from scratch. I also say if it ever comes up where theres more than 1 opening then its first come first serve for choice of team. Anyone else have any other "issues" to add. As I said, there was a lot of discussion at the end of the season which really should have been dealt with prior to the start of the season. It was the first year for our league, and thus issues were inevitable, but I think we should be able to iron things out this year. Id also like to add that I dont think anyone should HAVE to keep anyone, they just have a full draft. Makes sense to me if you only want to keep one or none than fine.

nfoligno Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Flea, Regarding the idea of losing a pick higher than when you took him, I think there are a couple reasons for this. One, It automatically prevents an owner from keeping a 1st rounder. Two, it factors in the natural progression of players. It matters a bit less on players taken later in the draft, but players taken early who take that proverbial next step simply cost a bit more. Often, this rule prevents most 1st round picks from being "kept" as they were either 1st rounders the year before, or 2nd rounders, and thus the price doesn't make it worth keeping them this year. So, most of the top tier studs are still available in the draft, and you are not faced with taken 2nd/3rd tier players with your first pick. Three, puts a higher value on taking some risks later in the draft. Frankly, this is one of my favorite parts of the keeper league. Its just not as fun when you are keeping the every year studs. Its more fun, IMHO, when you take risks on rookies and 2nd year unproven players later in the draft that end up hitting big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfoligno Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 One more thing I think should be established. How long can you keep a player. I'll use my example. I am likely going to keep Mendenhall this year. Do I get to keep him next year, or does he go back into the pool? Some leagues allow a player to be kept essentially forever. Some restrict the keeper to one year. Others set a 2 or 3 year keeper allowance. My vote would be one year. That rewards the owner who made the good pick without giving him a long term advantage. Its almost that time of year again so I figured I would start gauging interest for fantasy football. We have our Talkbears keeper league with I believe 9 returning and 1 spot available. I want to get confirmation from everyone in the league before we let new people join. We will also have free leagues for anyone wishing to play. So if you are interested in playing this year please post in this thread and we will see what kind of interest we have and how many leagues we will need.
