BL Shanahan is a 20-team mixed league with a live preseason draft and slightly more restrictive keeper rules than the Scoresheet standard. The league has a long history and we think BL Shanahan was the first 20-team BL in Scoresheet. Most of the owners are based in the Kansas City area and conduct the preseason draft in person, but the draft is also run on Google Sheets and conference call. Supplemental draft rounds are run through Scoresheet.
Owners are permitted to keep 10 players and two rookies (defined slightly differently than Scoresheet's standard in that any player with <100 ML IP or <250 ML ABs is considered a rookie). The champion from the prior season keeps 8 players and 4 rookies, and the runner-up keeps 9 players and 3 rookies. This seems to make each season more interesting than in leagues where dynasties can require other owners to sit through years of being non-competitive.
We are looking for one new owner to take over one of two orphan teams (Team 12 and Team 17). The orphan rosters were pretty weak so a few of the owners in the league moved solid players to those rosters in order to increase the overall talent level. Players available include Jose Ramirez, Xander Bogaerts, Jake Cronenworth, Max Muncy, Brandon Woodruff, Joe Musgrove, Joey Votto, Anthony Rizzo, Josh Donaldson, Teoscar Hernandez, Framber Valdez, Lance McCullers, and Josh Hader.
We plan to conduct a dispersal draft of the two orphan rosters. The new owners would draft players from the rosters until they are satisfied, with the understanding that they will then submit a keeper list of 10 players and two rookies. We have already found one new owner so the draft can commence fairly quickly.
The live draft has not yet been scheduled but typically is held on a Sunday afternoon during Spring Training.
