Intro to keeper leagues?

if you aren't playing to win every year, you aren't playing correctly.

This settles it, I need to go trade Jesus Montero, Aaron Hicks and Westmoreland for Konerko and Felipe Lopez in my 24 team, 35 player keeper because it gives me a better shot at winning this year.

If it means you win next year, go for it. Montero might end up being the next big thing or he might end up being Alex Gordon. Hicks is what two or three years away from even having an MLB at bat? Westmoreland is even further away... I don't really understand your point?

Another thing to consider before dedicating time to a keeper...what if you do have good solid minor league keepers who are 2, 3 or 4 years away from contributing anything....can you say for sure the league will even be going that far into the future?

***You MUST have good dedicated owners in a keeper league or you are wasting your time!***
