What scoring do you want to use? How big should your rosters be? What about keepers? And a whole lot more.

2:05 - Our guest, Adam Howe, tells us about his keeper leagues

8:48 - Welcome to the Keep or Kut Listener Leagues!

11:30 - Scoring and standings: There are pros and cons to season-long leagues vs. head-to-head; Chad tells you why points is checkers to roto chess; and we land on two different approaches for our two leagues.

32:15 - Draft vs. Auction? While there are great reasons to choose an auction, sometimes a draft is just simpler.

37:26 - Rosters and lineups vary quite a bit, just on the offensive side. We debate how many C and share a preference for deeper lineups.

42:27 - Pitching has fewer choices, but you still have to decide if you are splitting SP and RP or just using a pile of pitchers.

47:44 - Your bench size can't be determined in a vacuum, as roster construction, IL spots and other factors play a role.

54:01 - Both lineups and transactions can be daily, weekly, or anything in between. Plus the benefits of FAAB vs. Waivers or fastest finger.

1:04:09 - How should we include minor leaguers in these leagues?

1:10:41 - Last, but certainly not least, what about the keeper rules? How many players are kept? What do they cost? And more.
