    We should get the draft started in the next week or so, right?

    Yeah, I've been slack. New job takes up a lot more time. We'll get it going though. As I mentioned at the end of last year, I can't justify paying $45 to go back to Fanstar since there were just too many headaches with the baseball league. The football and basketball leagues seem to have less problems, but there were so many behind the scenes issues that I had to deal with last year -- duplicate scheduled games, lineup errors, etc.

    Anyway, we'll have a league, but I was thinking of using Yahoo or another free service instead. Does anyone have an opinion, or feel strongly that we should remain with Fanstar?

    Also, how are we feeling about the keeper format? It's more work for me, but I guess we'll stay with it if that's what everyone wants.

    Would appreciate feedback on both of these issues. Thanks.

    I don't have a problem changing to a different fantasy sports site. Yahoo! has been good for football but since this is the only baseball league I'm in, I've never tried it for this sport.

    Also would it still be free if we move and stay with the keeper format?

    I'll be honest, I don't mind the keeper format, although I'm not the one dealing with the changes and adjustments. I would like to add more keepers, in fact, but I do understand if you want to ditch it fade.

    So I say whatever makes it easier for you is cool with me. Unless we vote for more keepers.

    I'm fine with any website.

    I'd prefer keepers, but if it's too much work, I wouldn't be opposed to getting rid of them.

    Okay, everyone please declare your keepers as soon as possible. We'll get the draft going by this weekend. Maybe we'll use Fanstar for the draft and then another site for the actual league.

    Man, I can't believe I kept Starlin Castro over Yu Darvish last year... what a terrible decision that turned out to be.

    Yep, we swapped my 4th round pick for your 2nd round pick.

    I can forward you the email chain if you'd like.

    It also should be somewhere deep in this thread, if you want to dig.

    I thought it was something like that. Can you forward the email, though. I couldn't find it for whatever reason.

    Man I really am struggling this year with who to keep as keepers. I guess I go with the following:

    Slot A: E. Longoria
    Slot B: B. Harper
    Slot C: G. Stanton
    Slot D: J. Kipnis
    Slot E: J. Bautista
    Slot F: A. Pujols
    Slot G: I. Desmond
