Remember, league rules do stipulate that including your steal pick, that you may not have more than 4 hitters or 4 pitchers amongst your 7 keepers.
Also, if you intend to change parks, it must be announced during the time we are naming keepers (before the 6 round draft begins). Tim Orz (zrot) and madmoke66 are not eligible to change parks (teams must stay in the same park for at least 3 years). So far Honeyman and tomwistar have named new stadiums.
planning for season 29 has begun.
First round keepers have been named
Steal Picks complete
Second set of keepers may proceed after a team has been stolen from (Palanion, 13 baseballs please name your second set of 3 keepers).
We'll plan to start the 6 round draft June 8 or later (while waiting for AP tests to be graded...good luck students)
only 1 trade per manager involving keepers is allowed per preseason - (Bunze0 and Honeyman have used the allotment on their Mays and Martinez deal
