Any Interest In A NL Auction League?

[Suicane75]

I know the league we did two years ago kind of fell apart but I'm itching to get a long term NL only league going.

Was thinking a keeper league, auction draft on ESPN next weekend would be doable with as few as 8, though 10 would be awesome.

Something along the lines of a $40 or $50 buy in.

Any interested parties?

[tarcone]

Thoughts on format?

[Suicane75]

Depends on how many joined up but likely 1C, MI, CI, 5OF, 9P. 4 man bench.
Probably 4 or 5 keepers per team.

[tarcone]

Roto style or H2H?

[Suicane75]

Oh, sorry. Roto

[Danny]

I would be interested, but would prefer something like $20 buy in for the first year

[cmgdodgers]

Id play

[General Mike]

I guess. Let me get past my mixed league auction tonight and then I'll really think about it.

[Suicane75]

Sweet.

To those interested, let me ask a few questions.

1. Cost
A) $30
B) $40
C) $50

Keepers Per Year
A) 4
B) 5
B) 6

Keeper Price Increase
A) $4
B) $5
C) $6

I honestly have no idea what the standard is, but those look like decent options.

As far as the draft goes I'm thinking Saturday would be best, or even Friday night. I could do Sunday, but not much later than 2pm est.

[cubboyroy1826]

I would be up for it.

1. Cost
A) $30


Keepers Per Year
A) 4

Keeper Price Increase

I would recommend a slotting for keepers. First keeper is $3 second is $4 third is $5 etc. Then the following year if you keep the player again he needs to be slotted in the next higher slot. This might mean we really could go to 6 keeper max. So if you have Reyes this year at a cost of $31 and you keep him in the $3 slot he would cost $34. Next year you would need to slot him in the $4 slot then the $5 slot. Maybe also put a max of three years to keep a guy?

Not really in favor of slotting for keepers, would rather just keep the simpler system. I also would be fine with going up to $50 next year.

[General Mike]

The league I'm in uses tiered increases for keepers. $1 increase for guys who were $1-9, $2 increase for $10-19, $3 increase for 20-29, and so on, but you can only keep a player for 2 additional years after bidding, but there is a franchise tag system to keep one additional player for a 4th and 5th year. We also use a limit of 5 players and $75 total dollars.

[Suicane75]

Ok, so we have a soft 6. Let's say we start at $30 this year with the idea of moving up to $40 or $50 next year?

Does anyone have draft times they can't do next fri/sat/sun?

[Suicane75]

While I'm not against slotting keepers, I think it's probably best to just keep it simple right now. Up to 4 a year with a $5 increase each year with a 4 year limit.

[Danny]

I can do all three days

[cubboyroy1826]

Unfortunately all three days are out for me as I have relatives coming in town. The following week I could do Saturday or Sunday.

[cmgdodgers]

Saturday 4/6 is a no go for me, Friday night or anytime Sunday I am good.

1) $30
2) 4 keepers
3) $5 increase

I should be able to draft anytime for the most part that weekend.

[tarcone]

I am in.

1) $30
2) 4
3) None of the above? Or if not $5 is good.

Will there be a cost per transaction?

Right now Friday night looks like my best bet. Saturday is probably a no go. Daughter running a 5k in the morning. Other daughter has a basketball tourney. Times of tourney not posted yet.
So Im not sure about Sunday yet. Depends on basketball scvhedule. BB tourney is about 1 1/2 hours from my house.

[General Mike]

I don't like the idea of a cost per transaction, but there should be a limit on the number.

[Suicane75]

Nah, no transaction cost. I was thinking of just going with a $50 or $100 FAAB.

[Suicane75]

Ok. I decided to set the draft for next Tuesday at 8:30 eastern in the hopes that a weeknight would be better for everyone.

Anyone who wants in just shoot me a pm with your email addy. $30 which I'll collect after we draft.

[Suicane75]

Eh, was in too much of a rush last night, thought anyone would be able to join the league unless I set it to private.

Anyhoo, here's the link, just pm me for an invite.

Edit: I need to wake up first before I do this crap.

Also will be collecting payment before the draft.

[cubboyroy1826]

Did you mean to set the league up with daily lineup changes? My personal preference is for weekly which takes less time.

[Arles]

I'd be interested in there is room, but I can't make the draft time as my son has a baseball game at 8 PM EST.

I'd love to play but I cannot make the draft so will have to back out.

[cubboyroy1826]

I am still interested in playing but if we are doing daily lineups I will not be able to join. While I would love to I just do not have the time to commit to a daily lineup league. Please clarify if this will in fact be daily lineups.

[Danny]

Based on what I am seeing it doesnt look like the league will happen for this year with seemingly no draft time working and less than 8 current signups and the season already underway. Would love to do it for next year though.
