Fantasy Baseball Winter Meetings Update

[MCH]

I have received keeper lists from 7 of the 9 managers. One manager has been in contact with me and will get me his list by Jan. 1st, but deer_huntin_k_man has yet to contact me. If I do not hear from him by Jan 1st his keepers will drop back in the draft pool and rhine16 will step in as a manager.

Also, there was only one trade made during the Winter Meetings window. The Russell Martin's traded their 2nd and 3rd draft picks for OkieDodgers' 2nd round draft pick and keeper Dan Haren.

I would like to mention that a few managers have dropped some keepers that really could've been trade bait for other managers. I hope that everyone reviews the trade made above and remembers this next year. It never hurts to try.

Also, trades may still be made, but only with the players one the "keep" list.

I will be getting everyone an updated draft sheet that will exclude all kept players after the 1st of the year.

Thanks,

Kevin

You all can consider Billy Wagner on the block. He has two keeper years left.

I'm looking for a pick or the right player(s), make an offer.

See 4th paragraph of original post.

The reason for the Winter Meetings is to allow managers to trade players that they don't intend to keep. Sort of like the non-tender deadline in MLB.

You can always make trades....the deadline just gives you extra incentive to try and trade the ones you don't want to keep.

Trade fresh off the newswire:

Okiedodgers trade Justin Verlander with 2 year keeper status to The Russell Martin's for their 2nd and 15th round draft pick.
