Season Kickoff: 2021: Floored Mourns the Loss of Another League Member and Looks Ahead to Another Year

 

Everyone in the league is aware by now of Ryan’s passing in December, but the blog would be remiss if we didn’t pause and reflect on his life. Ryan was a childhood friend of many in the league and he will be missed greatly. There is a beautiful memorial posted here where friends and family are leaving well wishes and memories for all to share: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/jupiter-fl/ryan-ryman-olsen-9962916

The blog will be kept short this week out of respect for Ryan, but I wanted to be sure to get something out to everyone as we start looking ahead to baseball season.

Taking Ryan’s place will be Dean’s dad, Carl. Carl is baseball enthusiast who has been playing some version of fantasy sports for longer than I’ve been alive. We’ll have Carl introduce himself in the next blog.

This season we will be picking up keepers again. This year’s keeper valuations will be based on the end of season rosters from 2019. Yahoo’s Fantasy Baseball site isn’t open right now, so I can’t send a link for everyone to check out their rosters, but here is the link to the blog where I set up the valuations of each manager’s best players available: http://flooredfbl.blogspot.com/2020/01/dave-and-max-took-in-miamiufgame-this.html

We aren’t planning any rule changes but, as always, I’m here for a fun and competitive rule so let me know if you have any ideas.

I’ll update the table of keeper values so we can open up trading again for the next blog.

Hope everyone is enjoying the off season and is ready to pick it up again in March.
