Simmer is now in.

Oleg wants in as well, so we'd need one more team to make it 12. 

Oleg and new team would get no keepers, but would get the first two picks, per history.

Any takers?

I was thinking about expansion. The first two picks is great and all, but doesn't really mean a whole lot. I think expansion teams in the draft should have the option to "keep" some set number of picks (maybe 4-5?) from the pool of players that are unkept by other teams?

For instance, if I decided that I was not going to keep Yoenis Cespedes in the 5th round, Oleg would have the option to pick him up with his 5th round pick.

I'm totally fine with this in terms of how expansion teams could keep players.

I'm just skeptical that we have enough more owners who are interested, considering we already have a few that are borderline.

With Brett Jackson available, maybe BC wants back in.

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)?

Shut Up Paul, You're A Douche.

EDIT: Turns out, Andy's been here a few times this year.  Shows how much attention I pay.

If you need a filler team, I can do one.

Alright, with two new teams coming in, let's flesh out the expansion plan.  I actually think we did this once before, but I can't remember.

Spitballing:
I'd like to not limit the keepers that current teams can include, since the pool of guys is still substantial out there.
Let's for sure give them picks 1 and 2 this year, but then also allow them 5 keepers from the pool of free agents.  We can slot those guys from rounds....13-17?

Also, to allow for more time, we should bump up the keeper announcement deadline for current teams to next Wednesday 3/18. 

Thoughts?

In general, I like the old MLB expansion rules. Existing teams protect a set number of players (1 or 2). Expansion teams take turns taking players from the existing team's un-protected players until the expansion teams get to their protected limit (was it 4?). No existing team can lose more than one player.

No team loses worse than their 3rd best player. No team loses more than 1 player.

Ha ha.  Chuck's in your fantasy baseball league.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

It sounds like you understood what I meant, though.  Did you understand what I meant?  Sometimes, I think you're more British than I am.

So, each team can have 5 keepers? How many teams right now? 8 or 10?

Each team can have theoretically 23 keepers from their 25 man roster. You keep a player by opting to draft him two rounds earlier than he was taken in the prior draft. Free agent keepers are drafted in the 13th round. If you're keeping two players who would be kept in the same round, you'd keep one of them in the next lowest round.

I have 15 keepers. I'm willing to lose maybe one of them.
