Park switch from Atlanta to Citi Field (NYM)

Only needed 22 cuts. if you are allowing me 25, didn't think holding back three would be an issue, but if it is let me know.

That said EVERY other player on my squad is available in trades. If you ask for Pedroia or Andrus, please send back a playable option at their respective positions as part of the deal otherwise feel free to make offers. Looking for first through 3rd round picks, younger more athletic players overall, and I really need a third baseman.

There's some decent SP for the 2013 season in Medlen, Bucholtz and Verlander. Excellent defensive CF in Bourjous, a great hitting catcher in Santana.

Already have some inquiries, so if you want in on the action , get those offers in. If anyone wants to pick through my scrap heap posted above and offer me something for any of my cuts feel free, wouldn't take much.

BTW, I'm a stay at home dad, so if you make an offer you can expect a quick reply in most instances.

I've been in Hawaii since last Friday for business and pleasure.

Leaving tonight and will be home late tomorrow. Will make cuts Saturday morning.

Anyone need a shortstop? I have 5.

I could use a SP, RP or draft pick.

Looking for a second baseman and a third baseman. Please send offers.

Bucholtz VERY available.

When the Deja Vu league converted from a retro keeper to a standard one, the rules expanded. As the C'est La Vie League converts, following the 2013 and 2014 seasons, similar added rules would look like this:

- We will become a "standard" keeper league in 2016 -- playing with the 2015 card set -- with 2 seasons played per card set.

- Effective with the 2015 card set, we will start the annual free agent draft on April 15.

- Effective with the 2016 card set, we will arrange the draft sequence of the annual free agent draft with the order based on the combined win-loss records of the 2 seasons for each card set.

- Effective with the 2014* card set, we will hold a prospect draft after the annual free agent draft, with managers drafting up to 2 prospects per year -- prospects are those players who have never received a card yet and draft sequence will be random and serpentine.

- Prospects may be held indefinitely, until such time as a player receives a card, at which point the prospect must be either promoted or dropped -- with managers holding no more than 4 prospects at any one time.

- Effective with the 2015 card set, we will hold a supplemental draft between the 2 seasons, in which managers may drop and replace up to 2 players, with draft sequence based on the win-loss records of the first season -- managers may opt to not participate in the supplemental draft.

* The Deja Vu conversion timing would have called for the prospect draft to begin with the 2015 card set. Since many managers had not been drafting for the long-term (since this league had been scheduled to terminate after the 2014 card set), I believe it makes sense to start the prospect draft a year earlier, to help those with a sincere need for future talent.

SHALL THESE EXPANDED RULES BE ADOPTED FOR THE C'EST LA VIE LEAGUE?
