I thought that would be interesting... if any of you know a league I can join or want to think about starting one up next year let me know.

I will generally approve all trades unless I know there's collusion or I'm convinced that there's been a mistake involved. Also, the following is the schedule of when trades are effected and the new players show up on your rosters: Day 0 - Trade agreement is reached between the two players and it shows up on Yahoo. Day 1 - Trade is approved. Day 2 - New players appear on your roster. In the case of the recent trade between BL and JG, Day 0 is today (4/16). I'll approve it tomorrow (4/17). The new players show up on their rosters the day after (4/18). The one day lag between when a trade is accepted and the trade is approved by me is to give me time to see the trade. In case I don't see it right away (i.e. I don't see it until Day 1 instead of Day 0), I'll approve the trade right away.

It's awfully discouraging though when your, supposedly, number one pitcher is throwing like a little leaguer. I was lucky last year and didn't have to deal with pitcher injuries/disasters so this is a new hurdle for me. Anyway, enough whining from me.

I thought that would be interesting... if any of you know a league I can join or want to think about starting one up next year let me know. I've never played in a keeper league, but I think it would be interesting. There are a bunch of different variations, but the version I've heard most frequently used generally follows the set of rules below: - Year 1: everybody drafts and plays the year as normal (trades, free agents, etc...) - Start of Year 2: Each team declares three players they want to keep for the next year. You draft the players that you want to keep in the draft slot you chose them in Year 1 (e.g. if you drafted Ryan Braun in Round 10 in Year 1, your Round 10 pick in Year 2 will be Braun as well). If you decide to keep a free agent pickup from Year 1, you give up a late round pick. I don't really know what round you give up if you decide to keep someone you traded for. - Year 2: Play as normal. - Start of Year 3: Same "keeper" process except if you keep a player for the 2nd year in a row, his draft spot will be the Year 1 draft slot divided by 2 (e.g. if you decide to keep Braun again, you'll have to pick him in the 5th round). - Year 3: Play as normal. I'd be interested in a keeper league. The difficulty with doing it on the GBB is the turnover involved. Any interest in making this year 1 of a keeper league? $\:D$

Perhaps it's something we can consider next year.

I definitely wasn't prepared for that change. the great players just vanished! now, seriously, I would really like starting a keeper league, but do we have enough members for a long term commitment?
