How do we pick keepers and then go to auction? Is everyone going to have the same auction $ despite who they keep? Are we going to be able to find a time that works for everyone?

I think there might be a way to enter keepers before starting an auction on ESPN. What I don't know is if the league had to have existed before on their site, but I don't think so.

The time issue would be the bigger issue.

My keepers:
ARod
Hamilton
Carlos Lee
Sabathia
Dunn
Ethier

The ESPN auction is the highlight of the season!

I definitely want in again but am still "working" on my keepers. Are we going with 6 for sure? Do we know if we can have keepers with a new league and have an auction draft? I'll look into it but if anyone else already knows for sure, let us know.

Working on my keepers. I'm open to a live draft. If we set the time/date early enough we should be able to clear our schedules.

yeah, realistically there should be a time we can all agree on. Of course, I've always had problems with that in the past.

Maybe everyone should weigh in on their draft preference. The auction draft is fun but I also liked taking my time, picking among the remaining players for each round. Gave me time to do a little investigating without researching everyone before the draft starts. I wouldn't object to either but if an auction draft is going to drive everyone away I'd rather do it like we did last year. The basketball draft never did go off because we always had no-shows. The thing is, if we go with a draft like we did last year, we'll need to get started in plenty of time to finish it. The more I think of it, the snake-type draft like last year might be my preference because it goes on for awhile. The auction draft is done in an hour or less. We know what Jocephus prefers. What about everyone else?
