As you all should have seen, I renewed the league and everyone should have gotten emails.

Some of you have signed up, so I know it went out.

Couple key dates, for now:
Keepers Due: Wednesday March 23rd (due into this thread or (preferably) entered into the league page. 
Draft Date: Sunday, March 27th 7 PM Central

Let me know any issues with these dates.

Wonder if BC will be holding on to Brett Jackson again.

He has a body pillow named Brett Jackson.

Keepers (subject to last second second-guessing)

2. Andrew McCutchen
5. Julio Teheran
7. Anthony Rizzo
8. Chris Archer
9. Christian Yelich
10. Xander Bogaerts
11. Gregory Polanco
12. Matt Kemp
13. Anthony Rendon
14. Wil Myers
17. Kris Bryant
19. Adam Eaton
23. Drew Storen

Goddamnit.

Ehh, I'm pretty sure I lost my best player...Neil Ramirez.

Is this draft being televised?  Al Jazeera America, maybe?

OK.  Here are my expansion draft keepers --

Xander Bogaerts - 10th
Anthony Rendon - 13th

I'm very much not a fan of limiting our keepers to five.  For two years I've been stashing young players on that shitty team I took over and I'm not only going to keep five of them.

We keep as many as we were going to and the new guys have to pick from what gets cut.  We all know that there are still good players available after the keepers are selected.  The purpose of a keeper league is to build a team over time.

So if you're an expansion team and your team sucks for a couple of years at the start--well join the friggin' club.  There should be no limit on keepers.  It's one of the very best things about this league.

Just to clarify - we're only limiting the guys you protect to 5.

Then the expansion draft happens, where you'll probably lose one guy.  

Then you can go back and keep anyone else who wasn't taken.  

So, basically you're going to keep everyone you want except for 1 guy who Oleg or Chuck will steal.

Yeah, I just saw that.  Oops.

Oh, wait, now that I read it, I see we can only lose one player in this expansion draft.

Never mind.

I thought we were only keeping five guys total.  

Nothing to see here.  Move along.

Expansion's fine with me, I think we all could use our share of however many millions of dollars we charge for the expansion fee.

Does anybody have the draft list from last year?  I need it to figure out what round I actually picked these stiffs in.

Are we still wedded to the idea of having RF, CF, LF, OF, OF or can we discuss just starting five outfielders (or however many we start)?

Working on the spreadsheet of rosters and keeper status. It'll be done by tomorrow AM.

We currently have just RF, LF, CF and then 1 UTIL slot.
I like keeping it like this because I think it forces a lot more strategy than just OF. Also, since so many guys have multiple position eligibility I don't think it's that big a challenge to fill it.

But, I'm not falling on my sword for it either, so open to discussion.

Only a meathead would want just generic OF slots.  Who's a meathead here?

What's this about expansion?  Let's do it.  Did you guys tell them about the ante?  If they want some of my keepers, then that's gonna cost them 5 more bucks.  PER, if you catch my drift. 

My head is all meat.

45 days until the Cubs are supposed to open at Wrigley Field. Drove past the park Saturday and noticed that the whole Clark St. side of the ballpark from Waveland to Addison is pretty much inaccessible with a large hole in the ground from where Yum Yum Donuts was to the outer wall of the park. Seriously, will they move the games to Busch Stadium, Miller Park, or Comiskular?

They should just play in the hole.

People who don't love E-ramis unconditionally are assholes.
