    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.
