keeper fantasy baseball site

good (and cheap) fantasy baseball KEEPER league site?

i have played roto and head to head leagues on yahoo and a couple of other sites for a few years but i am looking for somewhere that has a good keeper league. there are so many sites out there and i have not been happy with any i have tried except yahoo, strangely. i would be willing to pay a little ($25 or so) per team if need be, but free would be better.

My friends and I have organized our own keeper league on Yahoo. As the commissioner, I have all league members email me their four keepers. I send an email of these off-limits players to everybody in the league. We all pick our four keepers in draft order and then draft as usual after the fourth round.

It works great as long as everybody agrees to it.

I know this is a little out of your price range, but I can't praise Scoresheet Baseball enough.

It's better than roto and head to head leagues, but it's also pricey (>$100).

However, it gives a much better representation of being a manager (offense, defence, pitching, batting order, hook numbers, steal opportunities) and since it matches (fairly closely, but not exactly) to what happens week by week, it's always exciting to get the results (by mail, email or online viewing).

I've been playing for almost 15 years now and can't imagine giving it up.

tq stats is pretty good. roughly 10-15 bucks a team if memory serves correctly.

Also check out sportsline.com—our league has been using them for the past two seasons and the interface has been great. We used TQ stats before and no one in the league really liked it. It was very bare bones and the interface wasn't very user friendly.
