Hypothetically speaking, of course. :) Actually, I know you'd treat it the same way, just with new salaries (of course), but in determining who to draft or keep - especially with multi-year decisions - it seems to diminish the impact the keeper game has on the league. I was mostly curious if you had any other nuggets of wisdom on this type of league. For example, our team stocked up on mid-priced established players, both in the keepers and the auction, but few will likely be kept next year at a $5 higher salary. Other teams did stars and scrubs and got a few $1 guys who, in a 14 team mixed league are risky, but could pay off for a couple more years. I'm wondering if we should have taken that approach.
