Alright, I tried to do this last year with football, but it didn't work out. I think it was probably because you had to register on another site, which is always annoying. However, I found a workaround way to do a keeper league on Yahoo. If this isn't interesting to you, there IS the option of paying for a premium membership, for which Yahoo offers keeper settings, but that costs money. Who actually wants to spend money on fantasy baseball unless they're gambling?

In case you don't know what a keeper league is, it works this way: The first year, we all draft a fantasy team normally, trade, pick up free agents, whatever, and play out the season like a normal fantasy baseball season. However, at the end of the year, we pick a certain number of players (I figure we'll vote on the number) that we get to keep for the next year. All players that aren't kept re-enter the draft pool and can be drafted again. So, for example, say we keep five players, and somebody keeps A-Rod, David Ortiz, Troy Tullowitzki, Jason Bay and Ben Sheets. Those players are NOT eligible to be drafted the following year, because they stay with the team that protected them. Anyone else who wants them has to trade for them. The draft is ordered randomly the first year, and each consecutive year it is structured by record...the person with the worst record last season drafts first, league champion drafts last. The order doesn't snake like it usually does, so the person picking first will pick first every round instead of picking first in the first round, last in the second round, first in the third round, etc. In the interest of fairness, however, the first year the draft will snake. SUMMARY: It's like building a dynasty.

Now, like I said, Yahoo doesn't offer an option for keeper leagues. So, how are we gonna do it? Simple. After the season is over, we make a topic here (or just pin this one.) We set a date that everyone has to declare their keepers by, and once everyone has declared their keepers we use the thread to make offseason trades and the like. When fantasy baseball season starts, I use Yahoo's league resurrection thing to re-create the league and invite everyone who participated last year by e-mail, then set the draft type to offline. Once spring training rolls around, we start the draft working on a 24 hour clock (meaning we post in the topic who we want to draft, and it doesn't matter when we post as long as it's before the season starts.) At this point, we change the topic description to say the user name of the person who's drafting. For example, say I was next to draft...we'd change the topic description to "The Clown, you're up." Once the draft is over, I fill in the rosters with everyone's keepers, plus who they drafted that year, then we start the season. Rinse and repeat this process every year for as long as we want to keep doing it. I know this probably sounds cumbersome, but keep in mind the draft is reduced a round for each player that we decide to keep. (Say we keep 5 players, the draft is 5 rounds shorter because those roster spots have already been filled.)

So, if everyone's interested, here's the link to the league I made:
http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/le.../404dailykeeper
League Name: 404 Daily Keeper Baseball
Password: kefkaisstillgay
Draft time: Fri. April 11, 10:00 PM (Possibly temporary if we can find a date that works better for everyone.)

Since keeper leagues are by nature more complicated, I made the settings and positions less complicated than the standard 404 league we have going. They are:

Scoring type: Rotisserie
Max teams: 10 (Can expand if there turns out to be more interest.)
No trade deadline, max number of trades or max number of free agent acquisitions
No can't cut list
Rosters can be changed daily
No maximum innings pitched

Postitions:
1 C
1 1B
1 2B
1 3B
1 SS
3 OF
2 Utility
5 SP
3 RP
2 Disabled List
7 Bench (Gives us a 25 man roster like a real Major League team.)

Stat categories - I like to think I made a nice mix of sabermetric stats and traditional stats.

Batters:
Hits
Home Runs
Batting Average
On-Base Percentage
Slugging Percentage
Stolen Bases
Walks
RBIs

Pitchers:
Wins
Losses
Saves
ERA
Strikeouts
WHIP
OBP Against
K/9
K/BB ratio

no one is playing this, there's already a different baseball league.

Plus you suck at being comish lol

It was one time. I set the roster changes to a week once, and I didn't really understand what it was asking. I thought it was asking how often I wanted it to be scored...I didn't know the rosters would be fucking impossible to deal with. I would have changed it later in the season, too, but Yahoo locks that setting after the draft.
