I'm in a few keeper leagues for football and baseball, but there really isn't a good place to have one of these leagues because you can't have your team up all year, or trade draft picks with out having to do it manually. Players will need to have another manager make picks for them during the draft so you have to rely on Instant messaging during the draft which is a big pain in the ass.
CBS actually allows you to make trades of picks and keep your team all year which is the reason we use it, but it is far from perfect. Most of us still contend that we would much rather use Yahoo! if they added the keeper feature to the mix and would gladly pay for it since we pay for it now at CBS.
The football league we had this year was a disaster at the draft. The day of our draft it wouldn't run at all so we had to postpone it. Some people couldn't even make it to the draft after that and when we did do the postponed draft it didn't run at all either. Well it did, but it took us hours to get it over because half the managers couldn't see if it was their pick or not. I guess they needed some sort of power supply repair. CBS did make up for this though and basically made our keeper league free in football last year. We are also offered a discount for next season so they do realize we had a difficult experience and are making up for it.
As for baseball it has always run fairly smooth. This year was no different. It is the only place that could have done what we needed it to do. I would have been in serious trouble had we not been there since I traded a bunch of my draft picks. The draft went fantastic and no problems existed.
