Looking for a MI desperately. Anyone want to deal? Send me something.

He's talking about how I have 41 roster spots, making me one over, b/c Joe Musgrove isn't on the 60 day IL. Once Joe is put on the 60 IL it doesn't count against my max roster spots. His salary still counts in your budget though. I'll prolly cut someone soon but it's no rush since were not setting lineups yet.
-
That all sounds right. We’ll just need to help enforce roster limits when games kick off. But fir bow with IL designations to come and more ST cuts to be made…its not a big issue other than preventing you from adding players or accepting or requesting trades

Correct. After January 31 deadline, regular season rules apply.
-
Thanks, guys. Sooo essentially regular season rules are in effect now? No difference then, right?

Emy…yes, we have roster and salary limits now. 40 roster spots plus 60IL beyond the 40. I am guessing Aqua is saying he will not punish teams for going over 40. But, you will be locked out of all roster moves except “cut” until you come into compliance.
-
No not till opening day
-
Can you clarify what you mean about going over the roster limit? Aren't we still limited to 40?

great job last night everyone. sorry for the little lock out snafu (but ottoneu's rule on that is a lock out the rest of the draft, which is way too much and should just be one round max...). Anyway, all seems to have worked out and we are in spring training form. Good luck with adds. And if you go over the roster limit, I'm not going to be too concerned in the pre-season since guys who are IL eligible haven't yet been designated by their teams (b/c they don't have to yet)

Hey AquaSOX, let me back in the draft!!!!!
-
I've done the Couch Managers slow drafts a few times. I didn't mind it so much but some of the leagues had a real love/hate reaction from owners. I'm all for it personally.
-
next year, maybe we try the Couch Manager slow draft. it's been a lot of fun in another ottoneu league

Looking forward to the Draft tonight fellas. Not sure how long we expect it to go but I'll have to bow out by 10p eastern time. Good luck

in other news, I have one team available in a 14 team yahoo dynasty leagues ($60, leaguesafe)...email me at ncd28@outlook.com if interested or ping me in the email box above. I only have 1 right now, but there could be others (I run 5 yahoo leagues, 4 dynasty, 1 redraft)

Ok, let's keep it as is. March 6th! I'll see you all back here in about 30 days. ST training camp opens in what about 6-10 days? can't wait! lots of excitement in the air!

Same here. The original proposed date of March 6th works best for me, but like T&P Dine-Nasty I can probably make any of the other dates in March work.

Looks like 2/22 just became a no-go for myself as well.
I'm open to the dates/times in March.
I'm a bit of a night-owl, the start-end time won't be an issue for myself.
-
Confirming that I’m still good with any of the new dates suggested and Thursday evenings won’t be an issue for this NYer. Like Aqua, I’d prefer to get done sooner rather than later tho.

I can't do 2/22. Other than that I should be able to make it work.

For you east coasters with work in the am on a Friday, I'm just wondering if a Thursday eve draft is going to be a killer (if it goes 4 hours). But if that's fine, we could just leave it alone. If many of you would prefer a weekend, then we have those Saturdays and one Sunday to choose from. Because I'm itching it go, my preference is now Saturday, February 22nd (ideally at 10am PT/1pm ET)! But I'm also cool with keeping as is or one of the other dates

Ok, let's remove this Saturday from the equation. That leaves:
Saturday 2/22 (a newly proposed date) at maybe 4pm PT/7pm ET (or earlier)
Saturday March 1 (another newly proposed date at 4pm PT/7pm ET or earlier),
Saturday March 8 (at 4pm PT/7pm ET or earlier), or
Sunday March 9 (at either 10am PT/1pm ET or 4pm PT/7pm ET), or
keeping as is on Thursday, March 6 at 4pm PT/7pm ET
That's five options, so please let me know your preferences (and an

Same here - as of now I can make any of those dates work.

Whatever works for everyone, works for me.

I definitely can’t do this Saturday. 23rd would also be a little tough. Other dates are all good with me.

only 31 or so days away so not that bad though

The plus in drafting early is to open up the ability to trade (or even cut if you had to). Otherwise, we're frozen til the draft
The AquaSox on

I think most of the dates mentioned could work for myself... I would feel odd doing it this Saturday, but I guess in the end that'd be fine, even though it feels more natural to draft closer to the start of the season.

We are so baaack

the draft day is currently set for Thursday March 6 at 4 PT/7pm ET.
It'll last what 3+ hours?
I do have the following alternative dates available if Thursday March 6 isn't workable...and those alternative dates are: Saturday February 8th (next Saturday), Sunday February 23rd, Saturday March 8th or Sunday March 9th

I'm pretty sure we'll have two unrenewed teams that will need to be replaced after end of day tomorrow (saguaros and Sharks)

We're just missing Sharks, Saguaros and the abandoned Affordable A's (of whom I've had a contact about and sent the the password to, to claim the team)

But those yahoo leagues have dedicated long-standing owners....(though in one basketball league, that rule has shut down trades this year....no trades at all....lol...which is good for predictability as perceived lopsided trades tend to get leagues really riled up, at least among the playoff teams)

In some of my yahoo dynasty leagues, I've implemented a rule that there are no in-season trades unless you're paid for that current year AND the next year (so that someone can't go all-in and ruin a team by going old, expensive guys (with loans), no prospects and leave it unmarketable)

Welcome to the league Zoomer! Full disclosure everyone that he’s my step-brother (who I’ve been talking to commish about for months) and finally convinced him to grab a team. He’ll be a great add because he’s a huge baseball guy and longtime fantasy player… now pay up!! ;)

Yeah that may have been a bit of an exaggeration lol. Glad we were able to replace those two so quickly. Looking forward to getting a full league and setting up the draft

Agreed Emy. That was exactly it. Glad this happened though because we added Coolhandluke and got rid of those other jokers. we'll have replacements soon....

I had no issue with them raising a potential issue with the commish for HIM to investigate, but it wasn’t necessary to make a federal case on our public forum and trash another owner who just joined. We don’t need that negative shiz up in here anyway.
