I dunno, this seemed like a pretty classic expensive-closer-for-prospect(s) dynasty league trade...we just happened to make it before July/August. Luckily, we have decent closer depth if our team suddenly goes on a run. But if the league disagrees we'll accept that and move on. Also poor Thor. Coming of some injuries he's done nothing but pitch to pretty solid mid-rotation ratios and nobody wants to talk about him.

I would vote against a veto

If Alvarez breaks camp next year we prefer $3 Alvarez to $13 Contreras (in case the league needed to know).
-
Also, I challenge you to find an eval of Baz that says he's anything but one of the top few pitching prospects in the game. The fact that he's shoved in every one of his major league starts (for a team with a pretty impeccable track record of pitching evaluation and development) except the first one back from injury is a pretty solid validation of most of those evaluations.
-
You're the commissioner and publicly asked the league to to consider vetoing a trade we made...of course I'm testy. We don't think we have a squad that can win this league this year, so cutting Hader in the offseason (or adding a catcher that'll cost us $13 next year) gets us nowhere. Neither team had cap space, so there was no way to make him pay for it this year. We got cap flexibility for next year; that's how loans work.
-
Like, why not ask for Contreras instead of Alvarez?
-
You can cut Hader at the end of the year. You don't have to hold him forever. And by giving up $26 in a loan you're only having your opponent pay $1 to get the best closer in the league. Baz is a good prospect but he's not a top flight pitcher. And I already said what I felt about Alvarez. And no need to get testy. I'm not trying to make it "look a certain way." I'm just telling you how it looks from my perspective.
-
Also, where was the magical cap space that either team had that was going to be in a salary exchange?
-
A a closer we'd have to keep for $30 for a top pitching prospect with a bonus major league track record and top 5 hitting prospect (regardless of position). See I can make a trade look a certain way with my words.
-
I've never vetoed a trade in this league before, but this one feels pretty rough. What do the rest of y'all think? I just don't understand it from Dr.'s perspective. Maybe if he was getting some cap help, but he's not. Alvarez is a good prospect, but at the end of the day he's a catcher prospect. Those flame out like over half the time.
-
Giving the number one team in the league Hader and not even making him pay salary for him?
-
WE WANT JARED!!!!! WE WANT JARRED!!!!!

Cap Space. You can add a player you previously cut, cut them again, and free up cap space.

Is there anyway to change the graph color for my team from purple? If the default color for your team is also purple, I will trade screenshot graphs.

Hey Commish it's draft time

No preference.
-
10:00 for me, I have three other drafts that night 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00
-
I'd prefer the later start time, because I have another auction before.

Does anyone have a preference between 9:00 and 10:00 start time?
-
If we are going to roll with 3/29, I can make a 9 pm start time work, assuming that works better for most if not all.
-
Works for me

I'm not going to be able to do 4/5. I think 3/29 is still going to be our best date. If I move the time from 9:00 to 10:00, will that work for everyone?

I'm in

Haven't heard from our commish in a bit, but it's looking as though Tuesday 4/5 at 6 pm PST / 9 pm EST seems to work thus far. Any objections?
-
Sounds good!

I'm in. I'll make any time work.
-
We'd much prefer a 9pm EST start if that's possible...have a class that doesn't end until 9.
-
Can do!
-
Yes 👍 can do
-
Any objections to Tuesday 4/5? Assuming it works for all, start time of 5:30 PST / 8:30 EST or 6 PST / 9 EST for the west coast crew?
-
I don't think I could make a Wednesday draft but I'm all in for 4/5

I'm also willing to do a single draft. We just need to settle on a plan, as the longer we wait the more challenging it will be to get it in before the start of the season. Not sure what commish is thinking in terms of approach. It looks as though International Slugger is limited to Tuesdays & Wednesdays, and weekends before 4 pm. I'm guessing that the latter would be challenging, so how about Tuesday 4/5 or Wednesday 4/6?
-
I guess we are old school....haha
-
Same for me, I'm already in 5 slow drafts and don't particularly appreciate it
-
We're not thrilled about the slow draft idea (especially since we have the most spots to fill), but also understand that we're the new guys. We are definitely more in favor of finding a different time--even extra late or early--for a single draft, though.
-
Flexible…just let me know and I’ll make it work.

Like The Seabirds, I can make anything work out. Late, slow, my time is pretty flexible these days.

I sure like the idea with a slow draft.

I’m willing to work with whatever

Radio silence out there...so, in another league we have taken to a medium-paced draft on couchmanagers. It starts with each team nominating 2 players, so 24 guys on the board at a given time. 8 hour window. At this rate, we should be able to fill our remaining 197 spots within 5-7 days. If folks are game for this approach, I'd be willing to help the commish set things up. Learning curve is very quick, and there is an easy export and import feature. In short, not as daunting as it sounds.
-
If we started an hour later, I could make it work. Still not ideal, and I'm guessing that's too late for those on the east coast. If a 10 pm start time doesn't work, I'll need to ask for a different date. Sorry.
-
Unfortunately, not really an option for me. I'm presenting at a conference in Alaska that day, and there is a late afternoon wildlife cruise planned. I would almost certainly have no signal of any kind.

I can do that
