What's that smell...?
LOL. Welcome, Stench! (Eric)
-
Thanks. If they agree I'll let them know.
-
Just have them create an account on the site and pay the membership fee. Once they're in, I can look them up and reassign one of the teams to them.
-
I'm good with March 20. I'll ask a friend of mine if they want to join. If they do, what are next steps?
-
On another note - we do need 2 more managers as Youngstown Steel left back in November and Avalanche never renewed his membership. If anyone knows someone else that would like to join, just message me and I can email them an invitation. If I don't hear back, I'll start checking the message boards to see who's out there.
-
Sure, I can move it up to the 20th. I just had that as a placeholder from last season. If anyone else has a conflict with March 20th, let me know and we can look at other dates.
-
Is there any way we can move the draft day up a day or two? I am leaving for Kenya on a mission trip on the 22nd and will be in flight during the draft. :)

#LFG! Play Ball! :-)

Hi everyone - another reminder that the deadline for cutting players and reducing your salary cap is January 31. After that time, any cuts you make will incur the usual penalty that applies during the regular season. We still have several teams that are over the limits, both in number of players and salary cap, so please use this time to adjust accordingly. Let me know if you have any other questions at this time. Thanks!
-
So far, we have 1 manager who isn't returning and that team is available now (Youngstown Steel). If you know of anyone else who might want to play, let me know and I can add them. Otherwise I'll start looking for a new manager. It seems like everyone else is still active, though. If anyone else wants to leave the league, let me know ASAP.
-
Do we know if all of the owners are back for 2023?
-
Happy New Year everyone! Just a reminder that we're still in the stage where you need to get your roster under the salary cap and roster size limits. You are free to cut anyone you'd like at this time without any penalties. You are also free to make any trades at this time, too. Other than that, let me know if you have any questions.
-
Trades and cuts should be available tomorrow after Arbitration ends. You'll be able to cut players without any penalty at that time. Also - one last reminder to complete your Arbitration allocations if you haven't done so already. We still have a few teams that need to complete them, and you'll have until the end of the day.
-
At what point can we start making trades again?
-
Just a reminder that arbitration ends on 11/14. We've only had 4 teams complete their allocations at this time, so please be sure you make yours before the deadline next week. Also, we have an opening as Youngstown Steel will not be back next year. If you know anyone else who would like to play, let me know and I'll send them an invite. And if you have any questions, just let me know. Thanks!
-
Arbitration begins today and runs through mid-November. You'll now see a link for Arbitration. You'll also notice that your players' salaries have all gone up since the season ended. Arbitration is an opportunity to allocate an even larger salary increase to players on other teams who may have a salary below expectations. You must allocate at least $1 to each team. On the Arbitration page, use the drop down box to select each team and add amounts to the players you'd like. Msg me with any ?s

Congrats to the Trophy takers this season!

Thanks OTL!! It's been a good year and looking forward to next season.
-
Congrats to Leury's Legends on taking the title! Thanks to everyone for playing this year! I'll send out some updates as we move into the offseason phase and instructions on what to do with arbitration and cutting players. If anyone doesn't plan on playing again next year, let me know and we'll start looking for replacements.
-
Yeah it's 48 hours. I don't think there's anything I can do about changing that now but we can look into it for next season
-
What is the waiting period for league approval on trades? I'd vote for 24 hours over 48 if those are the settings.

Mornin', Boys. How many teams make the playoffs?
-
Extra long Week 15 Y'all. 12 days ! Plan those Sp starts accordingly.
-
Look at all those 7-5 records! Playoffs are still completely up in the air for a lot of teams. . .exciting! Let's play ball!
-
That's right. After arbitration and before the keeper deadline, there's no penalty for cutting players and trades can be made.
-
Thank you for the response. And in that time, post-arbitration, pre-keeper deadline, can you drop players without any salary cap penalty?

From what I found in the Community and what I remember from last year - arbitration begins in mid-October and runs until November 15, when everyone on your roster will be allotted their new salary. After that, you have until January 31 to determine who you are keeping and to make sure your roster is under the salary cap. From that point until our draft, no additional roster changes can be made.
-
Does anyone know when the offseason calendar (arbitration, keeper dates, etc.) gets updated? - Not to say that I'm throwing in the towel for 2022...but I am starting to plan ahead.

I think I figured it out. Thanks, Bro. Sorry for the bombardment of email notifications. LOL

This is on my team page. I can change my lineup so it IS valid. But according to the rules, shouldn't be...?
ROSTER 37 out of 42
CAP $397 out of $400
-
Cap Space question again. I'm sorry, guys. I'm confused by this. I understand the concept, but the actual execution of it is confusing.
I'm trying to drop a player or two to clear up cap space. My roster IS valid. I have bids on other players. But when I try and cut someone, I get this message...
Your roster would not be valid.
You would have $3 available cap space
You would have 6 available roster spots
My roster IS currently valid, but by the numbers, shouldn't b
-
Thank you. Yes, there is one I can't find. I'll check what you recommended.
-
That's my understanding. Is there a player out there you can't find? If you check the Rules page, then the FAQs, there's a question regarding the player pool. They have a link to the Community page where you can suggest a player to be added.
-
Are we just at the mercy of FanGraphs to import Minor Leaguers? Thanks.
-
Thanks, guys. No worries. It is what it is. I wanted Darvish. I got him. Since I didn't know the rules as well as I should have, I'm paying for it. That's fine. It's just a game. :-) I can take the L this week and I'll learn from my over-exuberance. If someone could go and claim Soler, that would help. LOL.
-
Brood X is right. You'll have to cut enough players so that you have $1 left for every open spot up to 40. For each player you cut, their salary will count against you for half the amount until they're claimed by someone else. So if you cut someone with a $10 salary, $5 will still count as a penalty for now. And as Brood said, cutting $1 players won't help, since that $1 will count against you as a penalty
-
Also for new platers, getting close to $400 can be tricky making roster moves. Any player cut at $1 will count $1 against your cap and can leave you with not enough to cover your roster.
-
You have to have at least $1 available for every empty roster slot. So you need to cut down to $393 at least to cover your 7 open spots.
-
Hi, All. Need some help. I don't understand why I am getting flagged and can't set my lineup. ROSTER 33 of 40 CAP $399 of $400. Thanks in advance.
-
of course, on cue Darvish has given only 2 hits Atlanta tonight.
-
well damn. I meant to put $4 on O.Miller, and ended up putting it on Calhoun, and I miscalculated by $1 meaning I had to cut an someone else. . .decided to let Darvish go to make some cap space. Have at him.

TY, sir. I've done a Football auction draft, but only one. Appreciate it.
-
Here's a good link with some tips for an auction draft, if you've never done one before. Last year was my first and this information was helpful:
https://www.pitcherlist.com/fantasy-101-the-10-commandments-of-auction-drafts-2/
-
Will have one eye on the game and one eye on the draft. That's all I'll need to beat my brother. ;-) LOL. Anywhoo, is there any good info on the draft for those of us newbies? Thx!
-
Just a reminder the draft is tonight at 7 ET. See you all then!
