Keeper Deadline

ESPN says Monday March 14th, or 8 days before the draft. Is that real?

Personally I'm okay with that. I would really like to have the keeper deadline be after the weekend of the 12th.

Taylor said...

Sounds about right to me too.

Mr. Bill said...

That works for me too. I'd prefer to have it a little bit earlier, but I understand the arguments against that.

Do we want any kind of protection for injuries between the draft and the keeper deadline?

Caleb said...

Not that I know of. It'd be pretty impractical to do so, most likely. That said, if people wanted to have the ability to swap out a keeper if someone's injured before the draft, I wouldn't be against it.

I think that could get tricky, particularly working with ESPN's system. We're already having to manually edit salaries- do we even know if there is a way to manually edit keepers?

That said, if it is feasible, and we do go with it, we should have done this for football. Stupid Sidney Rice.

Andrew said...

On a more serious note, I'd be OK with it, but maybe only for one keeper? Or is that making things too complicated?

Luke Murphy said...

I'd be in favor as long as we can draw a definite line as to what constitutes an injury. I don't remember, do they use the DL during spring training?

Spencer said...

I just think it's too much added complexity. We gotta just stick with a date and hope for the best.

Mr. Bill said...

Or, if you're feeling dickish, hope for the worst for your opponents' keepers!

I really don't think it is very practical. Once the keeper is selected, he's yours, for better or for worse.
