max_fischer and mad mike, to name 2nd Set of Keepers

Is it legal for me to name no more keepers? Or do I have to keep at least 1 pitcher? My pitchers are all bums...

Is it legal for me to name no more keepers? Or do I have to keep at least 1 pitcher? My pitchers are all bums...

Dave's here is the League Rule


Section C: Offseason
1. Keepers
a. The league format is 3-1-3 (three keepers, one player stolen from another manager’s roster, and three more keepers).
b. First set of keepers
i. Each manager announces 3 keepers from the preceding season’s roster.
ii. Managers do not need to specify which player year will be used for players with multiple cards.
c. Stealing players
i. After all managers have announced this first set of keepers, there is one-round NFL style draft in which one non-keeper from each team’s roster of the preceding season gets “stolen” by another manager.
ii. The player is stolen not the player year, and the year need not be announced.
iii. Stolen players are considered keepers from this point forward.
iv. A time limit between picks of 12 hours (including “overnight” and weekends), after which time the next manager in the draft order may make a selection.
d. Second set of keepers
i. Each manager announces (up to) three more keepers.
ii. Maximum players per owner’s roster at this point is 7, minimum is 4.
iii. The 7 keepers (this includes any stolen players) must adhere to a maximum of no more than 4 position players or pitchers, thus a maximum 4:3 ratio.
iv. If keeping less than 7 players, you must have at least 1 of each type (if keeping 6, the acceptable ratios would be 4:2, 3:3; 5 keepers—4:1, 3:2; 4 keepers—3:1, 2:2).
e. Posting announcements
i. Keeper player lists must be posted in a specific forum thread by predetermined time to be compiled by commissioner at end of each season, usually in the SBDL Discussion Thread in the SN-SOM Individual League Chat forum.
f. Restrictions
i. Keepers can be traded during the offseason, however each manager is allowed only one trade involving keepers from the beginning of the offseason to the end of the live draft.
ii. Keepers must remain on a manager’s roster from the end of the live draft through game 6 of the regular season.
iii. Trades involving keepers do not have to maintain 4:3 ratio but must begin with each team having a 4:3 or if one team is keeping less than seven players an acceptable ratios would be 4:2, 3:3; 5 keepers—4:1, 3:2; 4 keepers—3:1, 2:2).

Is it legal for me to name no more keepers? Or do I have to keep at least 1 pitcher? My pitchers are all bums...

You do need to keep (or steal) at least 1 pitcher.
(It can be your 50 cent 5th starter). Keepers can be dropped after game 6 (5% penalty, so not much of a hit if you select a cheap sp or rp).

Your keeper does NOT need to play if you don't want him to do so.
