Schedule for the 2009 Offseason
I hope you've all had an enjoyable break from Fantasy Baseball. Now, as the Fantasy Football season is nearing its end, its time to start looking ahead to the 2009 Fantasy Baseball season.
Our league settings for 2009 have all been decided and so offseason trading will open up on January 1st. Please keep in mind the items listed below:
1) 2009 Draft Order - The weighted lottery for draft picks 1-6 was conducted on Wednesday, December 24th. The results are in! Congrats to Jeremy for drawing the first pick in the draft. See the right column of this blog for all of the results.
2) Potential for League Expansion - Due to the losses of Jeremy & Brock, we will not be expanding this year. We may still consider expansion in the future, but for 2009 we will stay as a 12-team league.
2) Number of Keeper for 2010 - Before the 2010 Draft, each team will have to name FOUR keepers.
4) Other League Settings for 2009 - First, the league has decided that the Trade Committee is no longer necessary for trade reviews. There were no vetoes last year, and at this point it seems that we will be allowing just about any trade that is made in good faith. That being said, the commissioner will consult with at least two other managers before handing down any decision to veto. For 99.9% of trades, this will mean an expedited trade-review process.
Second, the league's thoughts on Multiple-Wins vs. One-Win remain the same as they were last year. The slight majority prefer Multiple Wins, and so just as was predicted at the beginning of last year's season, we will playing the 2009 season with Mutliple-Wins. Last year's record keeping proves that there is not a drastic difference between these two options (see right column) - so this is really nothing more than a matter of personal preference. I will continue to maintain detailed record keeping with both scoring types, and perhaps we will reach a final decision on this matter going into 2010.
Off-season trading will begin on January 1st, 2009 and we will be aiming for a draft date in mid-March like last year.
