If it was FGP I’d hold out hope but idk if it will translate to 5x5 lol
-
Well you never know haha!
-
I really hope my $85 pitching staff can keep this pace all year 😅
-
Free mlb on tmobile today
-
Thanks for running the draft Bats. Thanks to everyone for taking part (even Mets at the end).
-
Draft has started.
-
Mets - please come to our draft.
-
5 minute warning!
-
5 minutes until draft. Please head to the draft room.
-
Draft in about 20 minutes.
-
Thank you to the new owner for the last minute claim.
-
Looks like he's officially added! Welcome boofus!
-
I adjusted plans so I can make this date so please do not change it.
-
Just another vote here for NOT changing the draft date.

I hope not, as every other day is full for me until the end of March
-
Perfect Bats can you add him? Do we need to change the draft date?
-
Works for me. Sent you a message with my account
-
Does it make more sense for me to just Paypal you and then you send to him so he can claim?
-
That's very kind. I am willing to cover half as well. His username is boofus. If you send me your PayPal I'll send you half.
-
I’m fine with covering the fee if it gets it done. Can we assign the team to me I’ll extend and then assign it to Kamino’s friend?
-
It's a tough team to take over 2 days before draft with a skeleton of a squad. That team won't be competitive this year. I get not wanting to pay for it.
-
I think a friend of mine is willing to take it if there's no cost to him this year
-
Honestly, I have been in leagues where an active owner had the same kind of roster and didn't attend the draft. They ended up just filling in the best they could off the wavier wire and trades. It's hard for owners to adjust a draft date this late as they have a lot of spots already locked up. I think we just hope for an 11th hour pick up or hope an owner takes the team at some point in the season. The "ad" I placed in the community board has had a number of views so there may be hope
-
I looked around the forums, and it does seem like that's a possibility. It would make this a custom league though so I think that could have OPL implications.
-
Forgive my ignorance, don't know if this is even possible, but if we can't fill the spot, could we just remove all the players and go with 11 teams this year?
-
Thanks for doing that. I posted an "ad" in the community page for the open spot.
-
Sounds good!
-
I'll shift it to 8pm EST to give you some buffer, and let me know if that's an issue for anyone. Also, if there's anyone you know that may want to replace Surfers please reach out!
-
Could we change the time to 7:30 or 8pm est? I'm on central time and the current time set is cutting it real close to when I get home from work. Thanks.
-
I’m good either day
-
3/5 yes, 3/6 definitely no
-
Ok yes! Forgot
-
2 MLB games in Tokyo 18th and 19th. They will count.
-
Spring training over end of March
-
What’s the hurry?
-
Updated to 3/5 for now, but that's not doesn't have to be final yet. Does that date not work for anyone assuming we have filled all teams?
-
Can't do 3/6, 9, 10, 15 unfortunately! Taken by other drafts. But 3/5 works!
-
I've been advertising the opening, but no takers yet. I set 3/1 as a placeholder, and while I'd definitely prefer earlier than later that date is not set in stone.
I'll continue to try to find a new owner but would 3/5 or 3/6 be good dates to get ahead of other drafts?
-
I cannot draft 3/16 but hopefully we have drafted well before then

We can't draft anyway on March 1 because still one team short. Should find another day a week or two out that works for most before they all fill up.
-
I've been using it as the actual draft date when scheduling my other drafts. If this isn't the date, then I am now left with 3/5, 3/6, 3/9, 3/10, 3/14, and 3/15.
-
Just checking to make sure the March 1st date is a placeholder still. I can't draft Feb 26-March 3 and March 13th.

I definitely think the cap is better compared to 2/day. I guess the question is 7 or 10 starts. I’m good with whatever the majority decides.
-
That's a great point Reeses. Cap options go from 7-10 per week, but that's repeated each week of a 2 week matchup. I can see the virtue in both - if aces aren't stacked they can blow you up with 2/day.
"With a cap, there are up to 5 SP slots available on the lineup page each day, less if a team has fewer than 5 starts left for the matchup
Without a cap, there are 2 SP slots available on the lineup page each day
For two-week playoff games only, the GS Cap will apply
-
Are you able to pick how many starts a week or is 10/week the only option? I'm fine with a cap just thinking outloud. Does 10/week give a team with 5 Ace's a big advantage if it lines up so that they get 2 starts in the week compared to someone who has 2. 14/week cap might help offset that.
-
Sounds great to me. Thank you Bats!

Welcome all and a quick update. Opening day is late March, so I'm going to move our draft day to March 1st to give us some time to settle on something more permanent.
I'd also like to change the GS Cap in our playoffs to 10/week rather than 2/day. It's a ways away, but I've found that's easier to manage if your staff stacks up late in the year and doesn't allow for an advantage if you're able to run out 14 starts.
Any thoughts on either of those items?
-
Welcome to the new owner.

Happy Holidays!
