I am trying to get a new keeper league of the ground. I have been in several keeper leagues, however none have been able to last. With that being said I have never started my own keeper league, and was wondering if any of you more experienced fantasy baseballers had any suggestions on rules, format, forum site, etc.

Also currently I have about 8-10 buddies from college and law school who have committed, so once this thing gets off the ground I may be looking to fill the last couple of teams.

If your interested or have any suggestions you can post on here or e-mail me at K.A.Katchuk28@gmail.com. Anything is appreciated, thanks.

Reid Brignac is seemingly blocked in Triple A by Jason Bartlett who has been a major contributor to the Rays turnaround this the season with his super defense, even though his offense has been questionable to date. All reports on Brignac are that he is above average with the glove and good with the bat, even though he could use work on his OBP and K ratios.

And behind Brignac is the first overall pick in Tim Beckham, assuming that the scouting reports read true (and i know thats a huge assumption) is a very strong defensive SS and hopefully future SS of the Rays.

With that being said this promising prospect seems to be forgotten by the Rays front office, with him having a decent year at Triple A at the ripe age of 22 is he still considered a top prospect? What are some of the Rays options for dealing with Brignac, Bartlett, and the long term future of Beckham?

I am a freshman pitcher on the Eckerd College baseball team and today we had Wade Davis and Jake Mcgee come out and throw live to our hitters to get there work in before spring training. From what i have read the scouting reports are pretty accurate on these two. From center field Davis had great late life on his fastball and his curve ball had nice tilt and he seemed to had very good control of it. Mcgee on the other hand had showed off that highly touted fastball but struggled with what seemed to be a slider. The knock on Mcgee has been his lack of a secondary pitch but his change had good sink and subtraction of speed.

Along with being great prospects these guys were great guys too. They stayed around long after they threw and talked with us and were normal college aged kids. Nice to see that these so called "super prospects" were great guys and just like the majority of my team.

These experience just increased my excitement for spring training and the 2008 season.
