2025 Draft Board and Projected Standings

I included last year's draft board in case anyone wants to review 2025 prices. Also, you can easily see every year's draft prices by going on the website to League / Draft Recap / choose season. You can go back to 2014 (we were on Yahoo! in 2012-2013).

Proposed Rule Changes

Vote from 2025: Switch from Saves to Saves + Holds proposed by RidiculousHype. The vote is 7-5 in favor of keeping Saves.

Got it, will definitely follow up once the last few responses.

Nine are already confirmed in, one maybe. We should get an answer from the last four reasonably soon.

Only need a response from these two. Will send a follow-up email in the morning. Need to determine the draft date soon.

Reminder, if you have any rule suggestions, then now is the time.

Okay, all responses are in. Looks like we have 12 or 13 returning.

Once he decides, we can add in either one or both of the waiting list. We could honestly take on both and play with either 14 or 15 because we have done that before.

I will send out a draft date poll shortly. Last call for any suggested rule changes.

I’m actually going to have to remove myself from the waiting list. I’m not going to have the necessary time commitment. Maybe next season, good luck all.

Do you need me to send an email for invite if you decide to add from waiting list. Two questions, the league is managed on ESPN fantasy app correct and what is the auction budget for the draft?
