Had a bit of an idea tonight about the league, specifically, a way to bring about a bit more balance, theoretically. Also a way to punish winning, but that's just a fortunate side effect.
It's simple, when a team finishes in the finals, the following year they get one less keeper. Additionally the effect is cumulative, finish in the top 2 for 2 straight years, lose 2 keepers, 3 straight, 3 keepers. Reset it when you don't finish in the finals.
And yes, I am suggesting it go into effect next year, meaning both Maximum and I would only get 6 keepers next year. Too wacky, too drastic? I dunno, just a simple idea. The downside is obvious, but on the bright side I'd get to make more draft picks.

I do kind of like that. It puts some guys back on the board, and it doesn't cost the people who win their top tier players, so they're not going right in the shitter.
I like the idea. I get a little queasy about the idea of directly punishing success as opposed to rules that deal with the causes of success... But if this is something that will pass then we can definitely vote on it.
If our two dynasty teams (max and schide) both support it then we'd make it a 2/3 passing threshold instead of a 3/4
I hate it, but it'll pass regardless of my opinion. I'd like a cap on the penalty, at least.

I think having players be unkeepable after a period is a better solution, punishing winning is dumb, but don't take away all players, just take away one player and let them keep the slot

Trade to announce:
Angry receives Bryce Harper
Schide receives Francisco Liriano and the ghost of Billy Hamilton's hype.
Let's do it!

That's actually a cool idea
I don't...how? How are they so perfect at being the fucking worst
I like this.
Ever.
I won the first year!

What a fun year this has been.
Man, I've been waiting 22 years for this. I'm so happy.
Wonder how many starters aren't going to play for the second game of the doubleheader.
What a run, what a year.
No matter what happens this season has been incredible and I'm glad I got to experience it.
Could probably still beat the Braves.
Heck you could say that about the last three or four years.
with all the ups and downs this year, finally getting eliminated from playoff contention in the second to last game of year is pretty good
God. DAMN.
