Type of League

a) Roto
b) head 2 head

Both have + and -, I prefer Roto because it is solely stat based and shows who builds a stronger team. H2H is cool tho because you have to stay truly up to date.

2) Auction?

a) Auction draft= this keeps things pretty fair

2b) (Only if we choose auction) Salary Cap

c) 50 MIL= a nice sum and I truly like the idea of a cap

3) Keeper?

b) Bulk team keeper ( 9 or more keepers per team)= Keepers keep people truly into it. Also, I think we should after 9th round of draft just choose a MLB team and we get that team's players to fill out the roster.

Platform?
a) Yahoo (like always)

yahoo is by far the best, noone can touch them

e) our own platform where we have to write everything down and keep track on our own

If we go keeper, I think we should have a webpage (Geocities) that we can truly keep track of F/A, who has what money left, etc.

5) Do we want our own entry fee that goes towards prizes?

c) maybe I need to think about it.

Depends on keeper situation and how things go. We could end up with a group losing and they decide to trade with #2 or #3 to prevent #1 from winning..... in that case it would be a ripoff

5a) (only if we choose prizes) do we want to pay for add drops?

b) No

We want to be able to keep this affordable. Someone could get hit hard with a DL problem for 2 weeks and have to pay out the ass just to field a decent team, then pay again to drop the guys.

However, if we draft teams and are in a keeper league we automatically would have backups so then the add/drop would only be for true F/A and I could see a charge for that then.

6) Amount of teams

a) 12-14

Is the ideal #, spreads talent equally.

8) stats

a) only positive stats such as steals hr etc.

9) Amount of stats ( X hitting stats by X Pitching stats)

a) 5 x 5 or 6 x 6

I'm old fashioned keep the stats simple

10) Amount of players This includes all roster, bench, dh and utility position

f) 25

11) Injured list

d) three

12) Waiver Time

b) 2 days

13) Vetoes

c) League votes veto but Commish can have final say

If people drop and people go on vacation you could see trades slide thru easily.... or the league vetoing a trade simply because 3 people don't like one of the guys trading.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
