I've heard that you need to start a Yahoo group, but I don't see how that pertains to the keeper league at all. I've heard that you do an offline draft, which makes sense, but the following year, do you have to "re-draft" everyone's keepers back onto their team, and then carry on with the offline draft as usual, or is there some way to save all of the data? Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never seen a Keeper League option with Yahoo!, although that would make my life much easier.
I have been running a regular league for about seven years and last year we decided we wanted to change our league format, so we switched it to a keeper league and started using an offline draft.
We did the draft--which was a GREAT time--and then played the season. For keepers we decided that each team is allowed to keep one position player and one pitcher who is on their roster on the last day of the season. This makes things more interesting, because lots of teams like to dump players near the end of the year to make a push in the playoffs so it required some more logic by certain teams. I picked up Scott Kazmir on the last day of the season from the DL, just in case my current keeper -- Johan Santana -- were to get hurt in the offseason.
As the commissioner, I simply saved everyone's final roster into an Excel spreadsheat and that's where I've kept it ever since. A week before the draft everyone will announce who their keepers are and then on draft day we'll do an offline draft and I'm going to simply plug their keepers into the final two spots in the draft. And the rest of each person's team will be selected on draft day.
It takes some work, but it's totally worth it because the players tend to take things more seriously which is great and if it's a pay league (which mine is) people tend to be more competitive and strategic when making selections.
It's a lot of fun, but I like I said, it takes some work on your part. Just make sure you schedule the draft early enough so that everyone can attend...the draft is huge. I scheduled mine before the end of last season!!
Hope that helps.

yahoo does not offer keeper leagues.
If you want to use yahoo to manage your league, and your league is intending to be a keeper league, then you have to do alot of work. In the first year there is no need to hold an offline draft, unless you want to. In subsequent years, doing an offline draft is about the only way. Or making sure no one drafts the players another team has kept. You gotta save the data yourself.
Other websites have keeper leagues that does alot of the work for you.
Check out Baseballmanager.com It's my favorite form of fantasy baseball.

Set it as offline draft then the commish puts the players in the teams. Most do a set up where they can still draft new prospects and only get to keep a limited number of players from year to year.

How do you get rid of the keepers from the obtainable gamers after the keepers are set and formerly the draft. i'm in a 14 group league the place there are 15 keepers. If i will get the commissioner to enable me comprehend who became saved I now ought to spend the time to get rid of the 210 gamers from the obtainable gamers to rank. what's the component of placing keepers different than to start up in around 15 and not around a million?
