but in 5 years, my keeper league is going to be solid.

well, in that case, never mind.
to be honest, i'd do the same thing if i was in a keeper league. since hockey is my fave sport and i had a keeper league, if i knew someone at 16 was a sure thing...like a Sidney Crosby, I'd do what you did in a millisecond.
i've found that i only play regular leagues in baseball.

I signed Josh Beckett as a 16 year in high school in my keeper league. its fairly common for people to sign high school players in my league.
I recently signed the pair of 16 year old international free agents the Mets signed to their International Instruction League, OF Cesar David Puello Santana and IF Wilmer Alejandro Flores from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
Guys in my league use minor leaguers as chips to trade to people who have no shot at winning this season for solid veteran players with big contracts, much like real baseball teams would, to rebuild for the future.

I picked him up at the draft figuring he would be traded somewhere and starting for a major league team. He could be in Peru right now for all I know.

mine is a more shallow an/nl league.
I traded Carlos Gonzalez and needed to pick up a minor leaguer, so I grabbed Villalona given that he's showing pretty good power and plate discipline for such a young player.
my minor league team:
Taylor Teagarden ©
Asdrubal Cabrera (SS)
Matt Antonelli (2B)
Angel Villalona (3B)
Colby Rasmus (CF)
Desmond Jennings (CF)
Jay Bruce (RF)
Franklin Morales (SP)

Yeah, i'm in an NL only league.

fascinating. makes me want to do a real keeper hockey league now...b/c it probably has same depth.
08-13-2007, 01:07 AM
the hard part is finding 12 people who still watch hockey.
08-13-2007, 03:11 AM
