I have confirmed with all but two GMs that draft time change to Sunday, March 13 at 5 pm central works. If you have not confirmed with me yet, I sent you a PM and please let me know as soon as possible. I need to hear that everyone is on board with the new time before changing it. Thanks

Could we just move the draft date or actually set a date/time so I make make sure I’m not too drunk to draft. Go Hawks!
-
My dinner plans have been cancelled this evening, so can do anytime Friday Saturday or Sunday
-
Yes that works
-
Yes
-
Last try: how about draft at 5 pm central on sunday, march 13? Please let us know as soon as possible if this works for all. Thanks!

I apologize everyone, this is not a great outcome. My wife and I discussed canceling our plans for Saturday, but after confirming them this morning, we don't feel that we can cancel now. Friday does not work for others in the league, nor does Sunday, nor does moving the auction earlier on Saturday. So I will not be able to participate. This is not ideal for the auction and the league. I already messaged Dukes: if you can replace me pre-auction, I will give up the team.

Anytime this weekend is good for me as well. I'm in the Northeast and theres a big storm coming. Will give me a break from moving snow at least!
-
i can make pretty much anytime this weekend work. glad to know we'll officially get baseball this year!

Looks like there is a new cba in place!

I really appreciate the flexibility. I hate to be "that guy", especially since I just joined the league. If we can't find another time that works for everyone, I'll make Sunday work but avoiding two simultaneous drafts would be ideal....lol
-
I can't do that early on Saturday, but could do original time or later Saturday and Sunday
-
Sorry for all the back and forth, but it is in the best interests of the entire league if everyone can draft. Does Saturday, March 12 at 1:00 pm Central time work for the draft?

Well, shoot. This is my screwup, the league should draft Saturday as planned. I won't be able to participate, but that is my own damn fault. Guess this is the year my team strips everything to the studs. Anyone looking to plug roster holes after the draft, come and see me. Ugh, sorry everyone.

I can’t do Friday evening. I can do anytime Saturday or Sunday
-
Could we do Friday evening or earlier Saturday instead? That way Socrates Burrito doesn't have to do 2 in a day and I wouldn't have to do two at the same time. Again, I hate that I'm the only one with a conflict and I will certainly make it work either way. Just wanted to see if that was an option before it was set in stone.
-
I actually have a draft in my other league at that same time on Sunday. I can try to do them both at the same time but I've been banking on Saturday. Part of the reason why I picked up the team in this league. If I'm the only one who can't do Sunday, I'll try to make it work.
-
I can do Sunday
-
Yep that works
-
works for me
-
OK
-
yup!
-
Yessir
-
Good for me.
-
Okay, looks like the majority is good with drafting this weekend and that many are okay with sliding to Sunday. Would Sunday at 6 30 pm central work for all?

Thanks everyone for the willingness to move our auction, especially Socrates Burrito for the willingness to auction twice in a day! But if it does not work to move the auction, I will cancel my plans for Saturday...I just need to know soon. Sorry, sorry.

Sunday night will work for me as well
-
I can do Sunday
-
I have a draft Sunday afternoon, but I can manage doing another one on Sunday night if that works for everyone.
-
Fine to draft pretty much any time this weekend
-
I can make Sunday work if that’s doable for everyone else
-
Well, shoot. So I say I would prefer to keep the current draft date, then I realize that I entered our auction date into my home calendar for the wrong day (11th), and now we have something scheduled for Saturday evening. So...could we keep this weekend but change to either Friday or Sunday evening? Sorry for being an idiot.

I would prefer to draft this Saturday. There is zero clarity on when we might expect play to resume, and several leagues have adopted the "wait and see" approach. This means I will likely be trying to schedule three or four drafts into a 7-to-10-day period. As for player valuations: this will be our third consecutive year with (above average) uncertainty and wonkiness built into player costs...we should all be adept at this now.

I vote to draft Saturday
-
Move ahead with draft asap.
-
I did a draft yesterday in another league. I have an unfrozen roster and am already getting bad trade offers (fun). I drafted as though NL has DH (no certainty). Biggest unsigned players in this draft will be Correa & Story. Freeman, Bryant, Castellanos, Schwarber etc aren't in ours. So unless you draft the players Correa & Story replace, not a big issue. Doubt we'll see MLB games much before July (if there's a season at all), so this may be the only action we get so I would
-
My recommendation was always to just wait. I just think knowing what teams some of these players are going to be on is relevant to their value.
That being said, if everyone wants to draft this weekend…I can swing it.
-
My strong preference is to move ahead with the draft date as is now. Then we can draft (which is fun!) and rosters will be unlocked (which is also fun!). I'll go by simple majority, asking that if you have a preference to state it by the end of the day on March 8. Thanks

Are we drafting this weekend? We had talked about an alternate date. It seems like the intent of the alternate date was to allow the off-season to finish and have a week or two of spring training before drafting. It does not seem like moving to the alternate date will allow for that and like we will end up scheduling and rescheduling. I would propose to either 1) move ahead with the draft as scheduled or 2) not set a draft date at all and just wait until an agreement is reached.

Welcome aboard Night Shift!

Welcome to the league Luke!

Hey everyone- my name is Luke and I just took over Sons of Pitches. I was looking to add another league and this one looked like a good fit. The 12th works well for me for the draft and I’ll make a name change and cuts ASAP. Looking forward to the draft and hopefully the start of the season sooner than later.
-
Correct, new owner would get a round of free cuts. Not looking to move the keeper deadline unless the Ottoneu administrator does it again.

The new owner will get a round of free cuts, right?

Shall we extend the keeper deadline until Sons of Pitches’ new owner is ready to make roster moves?
-
I can do both as well
-
Either date works for me
-
Ok, haven't seen objections to March 12 so I'm going to lock it in. Could we look to March 24 at 7 pm central for the back up date? I know its not much later, but if we don't have a season in sight by then, Manfred probably did get Tony Clark in the eye with a pen.

The 12th is much better.

The 29th or 12th can both work for me, but generally I like LaCock's idea of the later date
