I am trying to make sure I have this correct in my confused mind.
We have now picked 22 'keepers' and 2 free agents and a home field. I picked 15 position players and 7 pitchers as keepers, and 2 pitchers as FA's. After my last pick in the FA draft I have spent a miserly $72.76mm and so have room to choose a final player either in autodraft or pre-season.

We cannot drop keepers during the season, but can we drop keepers at auto draft, or pre-season, subject to 19 keeper minimum for 2007?? Or do I have to keep all 22? While this may be clear to everyone else, I feel I may not be clear on this and since I will be one of the first teams loading, I want to be certain not to botch it any more than I have throughout the draft. So humbly I ask, Paul, final instructions please.

I'm in the East! 2 loaded in the East so far!

We cannot drop keepers, except between seasons when the number of keepers goes down by one. You can trade keepers, but not drop them.

Therefore - the importance of making trades whenever a keeper is involved! As you have said before Paul (I'm finally getting it:

"a keeper's "keeper" class continues if a keeper comes for a keeper back." (i.e. only by trade for another keeper).

Am I write Paul?

I will repeat that phrase 100 times, until I can say it quickly.

In other words, if you trade a keeper for a "free agent" from another team, neither the free agent nor the keeper are keepers after that trade. But if you trade a keeper for another team's keeper, they both retain their keeper status for their new teams.
