I have a lot of prospects to trade . Anyone looking to trade a veteran? Let me know.
-
In fact there are still 3 new leagues this year that you can draft a full 40 man roster.
-
I would be against it . I am in 6 other leagues. You don't know hard hard it was to get draft times that didn't conflict other leagues and that was for 2 hours. New complete drafts sometimes take 5 hours or more. I have been in some that have split it up into two days. There are so many new leagues being formed every year the best way to experience a new full draft is for owner heer to add another league. Most people here only own one or two teams.
-
I have an idea that I wanted to float to the league. What would you all think about doing a complete redraft in, say, 2024 or 2025? I know that's contrary to the spirit of dynasty leagues, but it could also be fun and invigorating to hit the reset button. I'm just running this up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes, there are no plans to change the league in this fashion.

I am always open to trades !!!
-
DRAFT STARTS IN 5 MINUTES! GET YOUR BUTTS IN HERE!
-
See you at the draft on Saturday 3/19 at 2p Pacific/5p Eastern!
-
WE have a draft date! Saturday March 19 at 2p Pacific/5p Eastern. I am so geed up for this, see you Saturday!!
-
Thanks for the strong response so far. Poll deadline is Tuesday Mar. 15; apart from Mutos, still missing French Tickler's submission.
-
I filled out the poll as unavailable for all of the weekends of March 26/27 and April 2/3, because I've got a trip that will happen during one or the other. Hopefully I know which one by early this week, and can add more availability.
-
Never mind, I see that you did. Thank you!
-
Please still fill out the form, Stogies.
-
Most of the weekdays for this month or so I have to get up at 3:45 EST AM. So, Weekdays are not good for me.

Here is the link to the poll for our draft day. Please be flexible in your availability. https://forms.gle/i6LMtRctWxzny1xCA
-
Owners and union have reached an agreement, with approval pending. If there are no hitches, opening day is April 7. I'll send a poll out w/in the next 2 days to find the best day to draft.
-
I moved the draft date placeholder to March 31. There won't be a draft until the owners pull their greedy heads out of their narrow bastard asses.
-
It is a partial reference to Field of Dreams. Archie "Moonlight" Graham was a character in the movie and a real life person. He did not get his at bat in the major leagues, but went on to become a doctor in his hometown of Chisholm, Minnesota.
-
Welcome to the league, Moonlighters! I'm still stumped, I'm doing deep internet dives to solve your mystery.
-
I have just purchased the Socrates Bean and Cheese Brito club and will be changing the franchise name to the Chisholm Moonlighters. Hats off to you if you get the reference. I look forward to playing in your league.
-
Who is looking for minor league player. Good players at good prices.
-
It's a placeholder. Soon I'll send out a poll to find the best drafting date for the league, i'm in no hurry because of the lockout.
-
Is the Feb. 28 auction date a placeholder, or the plan? I don't think I can swing anything from Feb. 26 to March 5.
-
Thanks, Greg!

Due to the owner's lockout, the deadline for keepers has been extended two weeks to Feb. 15.
Also: remember to renew your teams! Mine were set to expire by the end of the day today.
-
I am still looking to me a trade. Only 2 trades made in this league.
-
Reminder that the keeper deadline is Jan. 31. Make trades and penalty-free cuts up until that date.
-
I am still looking to make a deal.
-
I made some offers. Let me know ASAP.
-
lol; well I was 2/14 in trades during the season. So I feel you. But I did a lot of work after I was out of it to set myself up for this season (and have just made a trade) so I might not be active so much now. But feel free to peep my trade page, it is up to date.

There were only 2 trades made in season last year. I am hoping to make some trades and buck that trend.
-

With 7 votes, we will have a 10 start cap this season. The masses have spoken.

Sure there are pitfalls because of what happens in real MLB but it's worse when the pitfalls are in our rules that can be changed.
-
It happened enough to be a problem. It is a big deal when you can only use 2 pitchers a day and you can't use the rest of your best because they pitched the same night. That is a big part of my point. If more than two of your best pitchers pitch in the middle of the week you are only left with the end of the rotation for the weekend.Should there are pitfalls because of what happens in real MLB but it's worse when the pitfalls are in our rules that can be changed.
-
If you devote enough roster space to pitching, 5 on the same day is not a big deal. Is this something that happened to you a lot? In my experience, outside of opening week, this is a pretty rare occurrence! And, as you’re probably aware, there are pitfalls with max starts. E.g., saving those last couple starts for the weekend + rainout + scratched start = nada!

It still doesn't address my point of the of having 5 SP pitch on the same day and not being able to use them for the rest of the week.
-
Leave as few open spots as possible. Rostering additional position players = a greater chance of having guys to start on off-days. Same goes with rostering more SP and RP. Looking at the "Standings" tab and "Games Played and Innings Pitched" section; the top point earners are the teams maximizing their ABs and IP...

Joke,I don't know what you mean by " adjust tactics/roster construction to maximize points under the existing rules. " Who do i do that when MLB decides with day the starting start? Be specific.
-
I like the variety as well. But I think the bigger issue is that making the decision on who to start is at the core of fantasy baseball. Being able to start 5 pitchers in one day takes out a lot of the decision making that makes fantasy baseball interesting. 10 starts a week with up to 5 pitchers starting twice in a week is so close to unlimited starts that it feels like it would really effect roster construction and people would hoard pitchers. Even more than ALWAYS wanting at least 2 starters.

Not especially a radical idea, but one could also adjust tactics/roster construction to maximize points under the existing rules.

It's variety you and I but it is more arbitrary and random as to who gets the most points in any given week. Isn't that what we play head to head to get the most points and win?
-
Yes, I agree 100% with what you are saying. It is more control, but a bit more work. Yes, I do that in other leagues, but that goes back to my first point: variety.

It's less work but it less control over who you can start.
-
2.So you lose control of your teams pitchers because of the luck of the draw. That doesn't happen with SP.We are in Brent Bridwell together . Don't you have to do it in that league? Doesn't it give you more control of your team? Sure there is more planing but it's not that hard. You might get 14 starts but you have less control over who starts.
-
Yep, I don't disagree with that and that is not my argument. I also didn't say that its too much work, just less work under the current system.

"With no cap, I just look at which two I want to start today and then maybe tomorrow, and continue like that. Yes, I have to pick who gets to start over perhaps others starting that day, but that takes less work than planning who doesn't get their start over the whole week." So it's too much work is your argument?So for an example Scherzer, Waiwright,Webb,and Mahle all start on Wednesday. You can only pick 2 . What happens is you lose your 2 next best pitchers for the rest of the week.
-
3. With 10 game cap thats only 10 starts a week from SP. Under the current no cap system it is a possible 14. I know its not likely that you will get 14, but you will usually get more than 10. This makes the SP pool a bit thinner which I prefer.

2. Planning. With a 10 start cap I have to look at the entire week and plan out which 10 starts I will use, otherwise I might be out of starts by the time I get to saturday and miss a Scherzer start or whatever. With no cap, I just look at which two I want to start today and then maybe tomorrow, and continue like that. Yes, I have to pick who gets to start over perhaps others starting that day, but that takes less work than planning who doesn't get their start over the whole week.

Well I suppose I should advocate the other way. In response to Tampico, if I have 3 1B starting on any given day I can still only start max 2 of them. I say keep it as no cap with 2 per day, and this is why: 1. Variety. Every single one of my other leagues has moved or is moving to 10 starts per week. I like this league because I still get to play a league that runs with no cap. cont'd...

Let me make my case again . I wrote this back in Sept."My best 5 SP are all starting today and can only start 2. Give me back control and give me 9 starters for the week and let me decide who start and when !!! " If that day is Wednesday you lose the 3 SP you can't pitch because of this rule for the rest of the week as a SP pitch on 4 days rest.You can decide which batters play and when but not SP. I understand limits but the way it is now is too restrictive. This rule makes no sense
