WANTED: Keeper/Dynasty League to Join
Hey guys … I’m looking for a Keeper/Dynasty League to join. I’m more of an online draft person but have no preference as to snake or auction (live or slow). I’m a competitive guy looking for a league that’s in it for the long haul. Let me know if you have any questions!

My home league -- NL-only, quasi-dynasty (up to 16 keepers, generally 12-13 MLB players and 3-4 "prospects") -- may have an opening. The team that finished tied for second last year determined that he was in too many leagues. It's 5x5, but on offense, we use OBP and hits instead of Avg and runs, and on pitching we use K-W, rather than K's. Oh, we draft on-line. It's scheduled to begin Sunday morning, March 23rd. Teams generally have an hour to make picks and we suspend in late evening and don't begin again until mid-morning (although teams can make a pick if they're up and ready). Everyone needs to be ready to finish the draft on, I think, Thursday evening in the event that the draft hasn't been completed by then. Last year, it finished well before Thursday evening. If you're interested, pm me.

Thanks, Phil.
Sorry, I should have said that I am looking for a Mixed league.

We have two openings our dynasty league. The league started last year. One team picks 4th (non-snake draft) and the other picks 14th. We use Fantrax to manage our teams and purchased a lifetime contract last year. Parameters are:

• Two matchups per week
• Daily Activations (Weekly Scoring Periods) - 1 point per category (16-pts. per matchup)
• 94-Players per team: (44 starters/reserves) and (50 man Minor League roster)
• Owners can trade future Draft Picks and get 10 new picks per year; we start our slow draft mid March

Appreciate it, dc, but that's a little too deep for my blood.
Still looking for a league ...
BHQ Subscriber
no worries. It's a huge player pool, obviously, and goes down in to SS leagues, I believe.

I play in a mixed league that is not that deep, but similar in that it is H2H, points-based (not category based). Interested?
Weekly matchups, so no need to stress about daily lineup changes, it's just once a week.
16 teams with standard 23-man lineups, but the pitching is 5 SP and 4 RP in each match.
12-man benches, so the free agents tend to be more useful than in a single-league only setup, but not full of talent either.
Points scoring is heavily skewed toward getting good SP and hoping for as many double-starts as you can get each week. As your pitching goes, so goes your team.
League has been around for a decade-and-a-half and some of us have been in there since the beginning.
Online draft March 16th at 2pm ET.
If this type of setup is what you would enjoy, PM me.
BHQ Subscriber
Thanks, Nick. I appreciate the offer but I'm gonna pass. Another great league but H2H isn't what I'm looking for.
Looks like I'm still searching ...

Hey I'm looking for a new league too!

I have 2 slots in a long-time 12-team auction keeper league. This is a local league in upstate NY that will draft on Saturday March 29th. We do have at least two members who will draft by Skype so you do not have to be at the draft to participate. We use CBS as our site. $150 entry fee along with monthly transactions ($2/move over 15 moves-DL replacement, even trades no fee). We are a 5x5 league, players are given contracts based on auction price for first two years, with a $5 increase for year 3 and beyond if you keep player. 23 man rosters with up to two minor league slots which are determined at the draft. Winter rosters (keepers) are decided by Feb 28th, after that you are allowed 3 free drops if you chose too until draft, more then 3 costs $10 per drop.
Salary cap goes up to $340 after draft. League pays 1st-5th and all category winners also receive a cash prize.
If interested in seeing available rosters, please email me or look at http://otto5.baseball.cbssports.com/
The two teams labeled TBD are the ones available, the salaries have not been increased yet for the 2014 season. You also have the choice to take a roster and not keep any players. Number of keepers is up to owner as long as they have enough cap space to draft 23 players.

Maybe start a thread on that one.
Slow keeper / dynasty draft. Say 15 or 20 team keeper league 5 x 5 etc.

If you are still looking made a post in this thread about two openings in my mixed keeper league

I'm kind of in the same position, where I want to find a keeper (leaning more dynasty) league that will last longer than a year. Tried joining two the last two years only to have them fail basically by mid season. I know another guy who is non-HQ that would probably be interested and consistently active. Think there are enough people here at Baseball HQ to start one?
BHQ Subscriber
Sure, we could start one. I don't want to be Commish, though. Too busy. Maybe a co-commish, no more than that.
BHQ Subscriber
I think we're gonna try. I'll post something later tonight.
Looking like we're gonna try to get 15 teams, mixed 5x5, keepers with no contracts, slow draft ...
BHQ Subscriber
circle360 said he'd be commish so that part looks like it's taken care of. We just need the players now.
