Progeria League Fantasy Baseball, 2008.
A lot has been discussed over the past few months about the future of Progeria league. Let me first of all say that I am very happy that this league has developed into a semi-serious fantasy baseball league (as serious as it can get, at least). The six month drive to a fantasy baseball championship is long and arduous, and to find people who will make the league as competitive as it can be using (at times) objective analysis to win is real siqq. So I'm hoping that this league becomes the primary league of all it's members, as it's hard to find 11 other guys who are as serious as you are.
So ideas that have been discussed have matured and developed into other possibities. The current idea on the table and seemingly the most ideal is as follows. With out current rosters as they are we will sign our players to contracts over a specific period of time. Jared (HamelsTime) suggested that every year each team is allotted 8 "years" to sign their players to. That is, for myself, I can sign Travis Hafner to a 3-year contract, Cain to a 4-year contract, and Utley to a 1-year contract; that makes 8 years. Now, there are issues with it, and we can definitely adjust for problems and make this as simple of a system as we can. My ideas to combat possible problems are as such:
1) This is creating as market, except with years as opposed to dollar value. It's hard to create a market when these players are already on our teams. Now we have grown accustomed to these players, but to "create" a market, we'd have to re-draft forcing the players who are worth something getting "paid for it." The opposite of this is me being able to just sign Travis Hafner to a one year contract every year. Now we can't stop 1-year contracts, but we can stop how many years in a row they are given to a player. To make it more competitive, I say you can sign a player to a one-year contract once in a row, after that year ends, you must tender that player at least a 2-year contract or send him back to the draft pool. This at least stop people from signing players who are worth a lot to small deals for short lengths. This may even need to be extended to 2 year contrats since that is so short, too.
2) No more than 6 keepers no less than 2. I don't forsee this being a problem, because people aren't crazy enough to sign their players to an eight year deal, and I just don't think someone wants or can keep eight players for one year.
3) Using years as a commodity. I'm not sure how this even works, as Jared and James (Thomies Homies) were the ones who came up with how to do it; but somehow you can have left-over years, since years in the league are the "money" we are using to keep players. For example, I sign Hafner to a 5 year contract and Utley to a 2 year contract, I have one year left over for that year. Now can I trade that YEAR for a player, or does that mean that I can trade Utley (a 2 year player) for Santana (a 2 year player)? This point will need to be explain to me more thoroughly.
4) Stats. Obviously they cannot change every year because that could change entirely how a manager values a player. But I'm not one for keeping them the same, at least not at this point. I'd say each team can account for a 1 category change consider we keep Saves and Stolen Bases considering players like Jose Reyes and B.J. Ryan will be kept in part because of those. This can be discussed on a year to year basis.
5) Commissioner. This doesn't have to be year to year, but it can be. Because the league is taking on a lot of change and I'm trying to, at least, make that go as smoothly as possible, I'd like to stay on. If the league hates me and wants to go in another direction, that's fine, too.
I think that's it. All of this amounts to having a non-live draft at someone's house. The basketball one at Marsh's worked fine, but we'd need to come up with a player pool so we can see who is and isn't available.
Please leave ments.
