Keep or Kut – As keeper leagues get deep into the off-season, Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) talk about the importance of having mechanisms in place to drive parity in keeper leagues. Whether you have increasing keeper costs, an Ottoneu-style arbitration system, or something else, it’s crucial to make sure you keep all managers engaged and don’t leave anyone feeling like they can never win. Plus, we dive into arbitration for the Keep or Kut listener league.

This seems oxymoronic. If someone can’t hack it in a keeper league, they should move to a redraft league. IMO, the ability to strategically leverage keeper rules to one’s long-term advantage is the whole point. No? In my league, which turns 30 next year, we have one or two hopeless owners who never win, but that’s only because they’re either too stupid or don’t care enough to rebuild their roster in any logical way.
