Is 11 guys on the IL bad? lol
-
Ya they just suck at evaluating and developing players plus obviously it’s impossible to pitch there much less bring FA pitchers there. Actually feel sorry for Dollander. Great prospect ruined by Rox/Coors field.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if you can include the Rockies in that group of greedy owners. They routinely have a mid-level payroll, they just spend it terribly and are awful at developing players. Now the Pirates owner, Bob Nutting, is the worst. He takes the revenue, sharing money and puts it in his pocket. If I was one of the other owners, I’d be furious that he’s just pocketing the money they give him.
-
exactly ya, it's sad for them cause man with that lineup if they just added a pitcher or two they could be legit pennant contenders. Obviously the G-Rod and Bradish injuries hurt them a lot but still. Seems like Angelos again.

It's a disgrace how some of these greedy owners just sit on their teams, watching franchise values increase on the back of growth in the sport cultivated by others, without investing anything themselves. Orioles well on their way to completely wasting their rebuild...its a joke that they went into the season with this little pitching. Firing the manager is just scapegoating, deflecting attention from the real problem.
-
damn they fired Hyde. All these manager getting scapegoated. Especially Black, one of the best ever and they have been pure trash for a few years now and barely put a team together ATM.

Never mind. They really put that 60day IL last way down the bottom. I didn’t even see it the first time.
-
Why are some teams allowed to have rosters of 41 players and others on 40? I read and reread the rules and it seems like something is wrong.
-
All good! Cheers
-
also sorry Wawa, you're a stand-up manager, I didn't mean it like that I just used the word "sneaky" cause I was kind of kidding and I should have noticed but I just looked at it as a 2 for 2 cause I'm dense.

I'm asking for a "get outta jail free" card of my own essentially

And I am ok if commish decides to nix the trade, I just don't want anyone thinking I did anything sneaky.
-
I didn't mean it to sound "Nefarious" I just meant that he was added in

Hold up! I didn't "sneak" anything. I sent you a counter-offer that included Shaw. There was nothing nefarious.
-
totally missed that he snuck Shaw in that offer, no interest in trading Shaw. I offered Campbell/Painter for Greene/Brown originally.

HAPPY OPENING DAY!! Let's make this league a long lasting one!
-
Done. You’ve used your one and only get-out-of-jail-free card :)
Ginkel is now back to a FA
-
Can a commish cancel my auction of Ginkel? I didn’t realize that injured players on IL still count towards your roster and budget.
-
and cutting $1 players doesn't save you any money. in fact if you have a full roster and $0 cap space cutting a $1 player will make your roster illegal since you have to allocate $1 for every roster spot
-
Thanks Santo, that’s what I was afraid of lol
-
Only half the player salary stays with you as a cap hit when you cut somebody. It disappears fully if somebody else subsequently picks that player up. So there is no separate claim budget...everything is tied to the overall budget of 400, so to pick new players up room has to be created there.
-
So if I have no budget, how can I add players since when I cut someone the salary stays with me?
-
i see you
-
I am a little concerned that I'm still not showing up in the standings

15 min warning
-
The plan is a hard cutoff at 2a ET tonight with all remaining players eligible for the standard 48-hour auction after that
-
also quick reminder, last time i drafted the draft room has problems with google chrome. it wont work at all unless niv fixed something in the last few weeks. please make sure you have an alternative browser ready so we can start on time. firefox worked well for me last time.
-
we were saying 6 hours tonight. if we are ready with nominations and don't bid the last second we should get most of it done. its gonna be long regardless. i'm fine restarting it and finishing it tomorrow if we have a ways to go and people are available otherwise hawks plan was to finish via ottoneu pickups. it's up to him, but i think we should see where we get to tonight and maybe try to decide as a group after hour 5 what makes sense, but i believe we are planning on 6 hours tonight
-
Is the plan to complete the ENTIRE draft tonight or maybe spread it over a day or two? 40 roster spots and 12 teams can mean for a really long draft. Do we want to have a cut off point where we will pick up Saturday 8pm EST or similar?
-
Let’s do it! In March Madness fashion, it came down to the wire.
-
Yes, we are drafting tonight
-
just want to clarify that we are drafting tonight, everyone in the current group i believe is good to go
-
No he is a different manager who can draft tonight.
-
Was RollingWoba the manager we were waiting for but who can't draft tonight, only tomorrow?
-
for some reason trade block is the only thing that updates right away. theres 12 in there
-
I sent a reply to the founder with this league name

I'm still only counting 11....
-
if you go to join league it's not there anymore. so we are good to go
-
looks like we are full, it just takes time to update. are we still on to draft tonight?
-
Ya I think it must be a refresh issue but I'm good with an auction whenever you guys want to

I think it just takes a bit of time to sync across all the pages. RollingWoba (welcome!) does not yet show up in standings table, but if you go to the rosters page dropdown menu you find 12 teams listed there. So it appears we will be good to go now.
-
If RollingWoba just joined, why is it showing we are still down one manager...did someone else drop in the meantime?
-
Hi just joined if that's ok
