Keeper League Contract Value
One of the drawbacks of Yahoo! as opposed to other sites is that you don't have a way to identify keepers with contract values. It is very disheartening when certain players get drafted and they become stars and NEVER see the FA pool again (i.e. Ohtani, Judge, etc.). It would be really nice if there was a way to assign a contract value to each and every player so they would have limits on the amount of time they could be kept on a team.
For example...if you start a keeper league brand new, all drafted players would be year 1. And then lets say you have a three year limit on any one player, to encourage turnover. The following season, any player that carried over from the prior year as a keeper, whether he was drafted or a FA pickup, would be marked as a Year 2 player and any player drafted in year 2 would be marked as a Year 1 player. Players would keep their designation if traded, but NOT if they were dropped back to the FA pool.
And one more cool feature. The owner would be able to identify a certain number of keepers as FRANCHISE (F) players, meaning, they would never have to be dropped. If you wanted to keep them year after year, after year...that's fine, until you decide to not keep them.
I think it would be a really cool way to add a new layer of strategy to a keeper league in Yahoo! instead of just waiting for the super-teams to age-out and drop their stars long after they are past their prime.
