• Hey all! I'm in a couple leagues with Spa City, heard about the opening and asked to step in and take over for him. Good to be here. Always down for a good trade discussion. One week to deadline!

• This winter changed to Leinenkugel's Barrel Yard

• I actually don't mind the League to be Named Later. Reminds me of the Brewers restaurant in LF called the Restaurant to be Named Later, pretty sure it's had that name for years and they just now named it.

• The one available team needs to be renewed for a $20 league fee.

  Random Walks on January 23, 2023 8:23 PM

• is there a free team? I know someone that could fill.

  MillerTime on January 23, 2023 8:17 PM

• Discussion for a new league name can stay open but will be settled for the Jan 31 deadline. I appreciate Spa City's fill-in management of Saratoga Horses. His team will be available for 2023.

  Random Walks on January 23, 2023 8:27 AM

• That's true.

• For league names, anyone like some of the typical stuff like 12 Men Out, Fantasy Field of Dreams, The Dirty Dozen, Ocean's Twelve, The Unusual Suspects, Fantasy League of Gentleman, or something to do with 108 Stitches? Just spitballing a few ideas (pun intended).

• League founder is not a current mgr. I dont think northwest is represented at all. Anyone?

  Random Walks on January 21, 2023 3:31 PM

• Placeholder mistake. We can set draft closer to date (last year a Monday night worked for everyone).

  Random Walks on January 21, 2023 3:25 PM

• Agreed. That must be a mistake. I don’t think you can even get into the draft portal before Feb 1.

  Dream Squashers on January 21, 2023 3:21 PM

• That must be a placeholder or a mistake, didn't think we could draft 10 days before the keeper deadline (or at least we really shouldn't even if we could).

  Out of the Bullpen on January 21, 2023 3:04 PM

• Is the draft tonight?

  Caseyatbats on January 21, 2023 1:48 PM

• Is that owner no longer in the league? I don't really mind it I guess, also wouldn't be opposed to changing it if we could come up with something good. Are there many in this league in the Pacific Northwest?

  Out of the Bullpen on January 21, 2023 1:03 PM

• The league founder was from Vashon Island. That's where a nice coastal park called Lisabuela is. Any preference for league name? Keep it original, or an other one.

  Random Walks on January 21, 2023 2:46 AM

• I think it was Giolito's spin rate on his fastball that dropped last year. Pitchers recover that, right?

  Random Walks on January 21, 2023 1:21 AM

• I know the players on my trade block aren’t great, but any contender could use players like France, Cron, Giolito throughout the year. They can all be had cheaply. I’m doing a rebuild, so they aren’t what my roster needs.

  Dream Squashers on January 14, 2023 7:11 PM

• I have a logjam at 1B and am looking to deal Matt Mervis before the cut deadline. Hit me up with an offer if you are interested.

  Northern Lights on January 11, 2023 11:03 AM

• He pitched twenty games eighty innings in 2021. Should be on pitching side of the roster.

  Random Walks on January 6, 2023 12:39 AM

• If he slots into the rotation by spring I would guess Niv pushes the change to pitcher. Looks like he was ridiculous in four games last year.

  Random Walks on January 6, 2023 12:36 AM

• Nothing to be concerned about, it's just a technicality. He was injured and only pitched in 4 games last year so he didn't meet the minimum games played requirement of starting 5 games as a pitcher. Once he starts pitching again he will get his pitching eligibility back.

  Out of the Bullpen on January 1, 2023 7:01 PM

• Should I be concerned that Daniel Espino is listed as "utility," and in my "positional" players instead of "pitchers?" How do I fix this?

  Reset on January 1, 2023 3:08 PM

• Happy New Year everybody! This is the last month for trading or dropping players. Afterward rosters lock until the draft, which is usually one week prior to opening day. In addition to finalizing keepers, remember to renew your league membership by Jan. 31.

  Random Walks on January 1, 2023 11:25 AM

• Gerrit Cole needs a new team. A rebuilding, long-shot team like mine does not need a $36 SP. but any team looking to contend definitely needs an SP1, and Cole’s auction price would be way above $36. Everybody knows if Cole were going for $40 in the draft you would clink “bid now”. No denying Cole is a bargain. It is just a question of which contender wants him.

  Dream Squashers on December 16, 2022 9:17 AM

• Yep definitely still playing here as well and open for trade discussions. We could use a little livening up, let's get that hot stove warmed up!

  Out of the Bullpen on December 9, 2022 12:28 PM

• Still playing!

  MillerTime on December 8, 2022 12:13 PM

• Also looking to totally read-do the team so nobody is “off limits”.

  Dream Squashers on December 8, 2022 12:12 PM

• I’m planning to cut Seiya Suzuki and Ian Happ, so if you want them I’d take any player I could keep, with even $1 of excess value.

  Dream Squashers on December 8, 2022 12:11 PM

• Are people still playing? I know it’s off season, but this league seems so much less active than most.

• Last day for arbitration.
  
  Wyld Stallyns is available for a new manager.

  Random Walks on November 14, 2022 10:35 AM

• I hope Oaks will return to defend the title, too, and everyone else competes again next year. Even if you are not planning on coming back, please participate in arbitration, starting Oct. 15! And in the meantime, enjoy the playoffs

  Random Walks on October 8, 2022 10:12 AM

• I'll join in on the congratulations to the Oaks, who had a fabulous team this season. It will be tough to knock the Oaks off next season, but I hope we are up to the challenge.

  Northern Lights on October 6, 2022 10:41 PM

• Thank you, had a great time in this league this year and appreciate you all! Seems like we have a good bunch of owners here and am happy to have been a part of it this year.

• Congrats Iowa and everyone on a great season!

  Caseyatbats on October 5, 2022 7:25 PM

• I think it’s safe to say ¡Congratulations to Iowa Oaks!

  Dream Squashers on October 4, 2022 8:04 PM

• I would love to pretend that I still have a shot but 700+ points is a lot to make up in a week. At the beginning of September I was still holding out hope that your team might slump and my team might get red hot but that never happened. It was a fun season and look forward to trying to win it again next season.

  Chris Sabometrics on September 29, 2022 4:45 PM

• Yeah it's been a good, fun year. Not counting Sabo out yet, his rates are better than mine, just a matter of whether there's enough games remaining to pull it out.

  Out of the Bullpen on September 29, 2022 3:23 PM

• Only a week to go. Would be a monumental run for Sabos to outpace Iowa +100 pts a day. And there is the same distance to the next spot in the standings. Good season guys

  Random Walks on September 28, 2022 1:42 AM

• Yeah the rosters section of the rules states: "The lineups page and roster organizer for non-head-to-head leagues allows for 2 catchers for platooning purposes; Ottoneu is not a 2-catcher game". It's harder to meet the 162 games cap at C than any other position due to so few catchers even starting 110-120 games a year so by having 2 slots it makes it more feasible to hit your cap by being able to start two a day some days.

  Out of the Bullpen on August 28, 2022 11:32 PM

• The extra slot for catcher helps fantasy managers reach the 162 game limit. Currently, six catchers are on track for a full season of plate appearances--Ruiz and Contreras are among that group. Last year only two qualified. Compare that to 20 or so players available at other positions.

  Random Walks on August 25, 2022 8:41 AM

• Why is there a 162 game cap on Catchers when there are 2 of them? This is punishing people who find quality everyday contributors at the position which doesn’t really make sense to me.

  MillerTime on August 24, 2022 11:06 PM

• I saw Kerry Carpenter last week at the Iowa Cubs game. I'm no scout but he looked really good. Made a lot of solid contact.

  Out of the Bullpen on August 13, 2022 2:45 PM

• I agree it is more likely he will be dropped before reaching mlb, but if he continues hitting high a ball as an 18 yo, I will keep him through the offseason. That level talent is scarce and $8 is similar to bids on 18 yo Roberts ($7), Soto ($10), and Franco ($10). Or, 19 yo Acuna ($6). I dont think he stays in the conversation. But there is little risk in wasting a few dollars to see. And I may net a Ryon Healy-type by way of trade, like 19 yo Tatis Jr. in this league.

  Random Walks on July 29, 2022 11:45 PM

• I think you could squint and see him making it in 2 years if things go right. Likely finishes out the year at A+, if he starts 2023 at AA and makes it close to AAA by end of 2023 I could see him starting 2024 at AAA and then once his service time is manipulated getting called up in 2024. A lot would have to go right though.
