Yes.  Unless you keep more than one, then the other(s) use up your next available round(s) earlier than 13.

I marked these on Yahoo, but as of now here are my keepers:

Willson Contreras (21)
Yoan Moncada (20)
Travis Shaw (13)
Xander Bogaerts (4)
Kris Bryant (11)
Anthony Rendon (7)
Kyle Schwarber (9)
Gleyber Torres (22)
Marcus Stroman (6)
Raisel Iglesias (10)

Here's what I'm thinking:

- Remove Thrill and Chuck as inactive managers, scale league down to 10 teams
- Keepers Due Wednesday 3/21
- Draft this coming Sunday night (3/25)

Any thoughts?

Those both work for me.

When's the keeper deadline? When's the draft?

Very nice.

And if you want a third baseman I have some hump named Bryant with an 11th round tag on him who I'm keeping.  But Anthony Rendon (7) and Travis Shaw (10) are available.

Where do we access the spreadsheet that tells us what round each of our keepers is assigned for this season?

Since Pen is angry that Excel doesn't input the keepers into Yahoo, a set of instructions:
If you have keepers that are in the same round, on the Keeper tab, under the "KeeperOverallPick" column, change the draft pick number to the appropriate number.
For example, if you have 2 13th round keepers, and your 13th round pick number is 135, it will show them both as 135. We all know they can't be pick 135, so go to the Draft Order tab, find what # pick your 12th round pick is. If that number is 123, then input that on the Keeper tab (KeeperOverallPick column) next to the guy you want to keep in the 12th round.

If you go back to the draft order tab, they are now showing up in the 12th round.

That was a lot of math and I never bothered to look at it.  But I think it's fair to assume I'd want to assign Bryant and Schwarber the later round numbers.

No, Pen is angry that I can't use the spreadsheet to input players into Yahoo because any teams will multiple picks in the same round can't/didn't/didn't know to differentiate.

The old way has worked perfectly for all these years, unlike this way.

I'm cool with whatever categories, I just want to make my annual plea to dump the LF-RF-CF designations so you can just play outfielders. 

I find it to be more of a pain in the ass than some sort of interesting strategy.

League has been renewed.

In an effort to keep things fresh, we're going to dress up and role play change a few categories for 2017.

Here's how it's currently set-up - would love some feedback.  

Goal here (for pitchers) is to have the best to balance between starters and relievers, while also increasing the overall pool of players from waivers that are rosterable.

Pitchers:  
Previous            New
Wins                 Wins
Ks                     Ks
ERA                  ERA
WHIP                WHIP
Saves                Saves + Holds (combined category)
Holds                Quality Starts
                      K/9

Other realistic options - either to add or replace:
Innings Pitched
Total Based Allowed
On-Base Percentage Against (this is probably my favorite option, but it's not that different from WHIP, so I'd think one or the other.)  

Hitters (adding one since we added one for pitchers):
Previous            New
Runs                 Runs
HR                    HR
RBI                   RBI
SB                    SB
AVG.                 AVG.
OPS                  OPS
                      Total Bases

Other realistic options - either to add or replace:
Basically nothing.

If we want to go back to 6 categories, then we can remove Total Bases and remove one of either Quality Starts or K/9 for pitchers.
Another option is to replace Wins with Quality starts, but then it's a category only for starters (whereas relievers can pick up wins.)  

Would love thoughts.  

Other information:
Keepers Due: 3/24
Draft Date: 3/26 (Sunday before Opening Day, per tradition.  Currently set for 8pm Central Time)

You should have received an invite, but let me know if you didn't.

I'm expecting some turnover this year (Simmer, Thrill...) so if you're interested and have no played in the past, post here.  
Or we can play with 10.

Test.

Bruce Levine test .

I think in Internet wars that Desipio is like 7-0, well, maybe 6-1, Bleed Cubbie Blue is our Vietnam, it just won't end.

Do we enter our keepers right in the league like we did last year?  I don't see an option to do that.  I'm sticking with my preliminary list...even the much maligned first two guys.

Oh, I'm keeping Wacha.  And I'm going to pitch him deep into games until his shoulder explodes.

That's how this works, right?
