League Message Board

Well done to the 4 people who saw this season out! I enjoyed it and especially to Dream On who made it tight until the end.
-
so..have others paid up yet? Not sure how i feel about paying for a 4 team league! Happy to continue but...
-
Also, I just set my lineup, which feels good. Have to grab those free points before people with needs get a chance to fill them . . .
-
Well, then you too are entitled to a refund. Shoot me an email at imalino@gmail.com if you'd like it.
-
I paid my dues back in Feb. I think we had to be able to cut players

I'm very happy to play a season, but not able to organize better or draft now. I'm going to open the draft room and close it again, and we can FA blind auction it and see who's really here. Sorry for not holding this closer together. Appreciate you all. -Ian
-
I think we are not. Basically, nobody other than Brett filled out the doodle or confirmed they were actually in, and I've been too busy/deadbeat a commish to pull things together. The only owner who paid their dues is Lil Sebastions, so if you'd like a refund OneTonne, please hit me up with a paypal/venmo/etc.

are we drafting tonight?

Scoring does not start until after the draft completes. Also, some may have noticed that today was Easter. When I set the draft for tonight, I did not. Whoops. It's postponed, and I'm super sorry. More soon.
-
Since the draft is not until Sunday, does that mean scoring starts next Monday, or should we be setting our lineups for this first weekend?
-
Okay, after an overwhelming lack of response on the Doodle, our draft is set for April 4, at 8:30 PM. I'll try to chase some people down in person between now and then. Hope to see y'all there. Happy opening day!
-
Try again now.
-
I’m down. Can’t seem to cut still though?
-
And here for the hard part, let's find a draft date. Here's a doodle for rough availability. For some of those large segments, if there's slice that works and another slice that doesn't, click yes and we'll figure it out in the chat. https://doodle.com/poll/yahctb3ems8x3yv4?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

Hello! And we're back, with a theoretically full league now. I say theoretically, because I have not received positive confirmation from everyone here. If you do not wish to continue, please let me know! I've enabled a round of cuts for everyone, so cut the players you don't want to keep, and do it all in one go. (If you need multiple rounds of cuts, just message me and I'll reenable that for you).
-
Also, don't worry about the cuts deadline. I'll give everybody more cuts once we actually have owners in, paid up, and ready to go.
-
Hey all! Just a friendly heads up that the deadline for dues is tomorrow (Sunday) at midnight. Right now, I and Lil' Sebastions are the only ones to have paid up. I've written down everybody's names and teams, so we should be able to put this back together if you all get kicked out, but maybe let's do this the easy way?
-
And hello to Jim Turvey, new owner of Henry Rowengarter, who was relegated from MLB, and who may have said that he won't have the bandwidth to play next year but I'm choosing to ignore that because next year is a ways away. Every single one of us forgot to do arbitration this year, because, well, there's been a lot going on. League dues are due January 31. Those of you who sat out last year I'm going to work on getting you engaged (looking at you, Edgar and Dom). 2021!
-
Going to give one final congrats here and bon voyage to powersjeremy.
-
Congrats to Rowengarter. It was a hell of a battle, and a well earned championship. I hold my head high that I pushed my team to the limits and left it all on the virtual diamond. Great season for all that participated. It was weird, it was chaotic, it was different, but it was fun!
-
Congrats to Henry for the win and commiserations to Prezels, who has been up there for a long time! I found this season really exciting, with almost everyone holding the top spot at some point. Hopefully we can have a full league and a full season next year.
-
Good battle Pretzels! Doesn’t get much closer than that.
-
I'd like to also thank Ian for making this wild Otto season a possibility, and adjusting to our ever changing circumstances. Competition was fierce, and we'll see where the dust settles after a weekend that feels like a final lap of a NASCAR race where multiple cars have been out of gas for 8 laps, and one has a tire on fire.
-
Should be a wild weekend! It’s never over till it’s over and we’ll see what happens. I’ve tried my best to put my team in a position to win as has Pretzels.
It’s been an unusual season and it’s coming down to the wire. Thank you Ian for making this season possible for me.
-
We've got a barn-burner, folks. Initial reports from MLB is that they'll be only one promotion (this often changes). Long-time leader Pretzles is up on Rowengarter by 100 points, but has hit innings and some games limits. With five expected starts, Rowengarter should pass, but a couple clunkers could sink him!
-
I've hit my innings limit without passing #friedman'sfailures for third place. Dream on might be able to pass me for fourth, but I somewhat doubt it's in his best interests to stream. Therefore, in the name of fair play and neutrality and not influencing the race for first, I just want everybody to know that I'm downsizing the $54 bid I currently have in for J.A. Happ. Good, close season y'all, much thanks to those who came for the 2020 weirdness.
-
Any offers for Kris Bryant?
-
Use to be that you couldn't score points, either, but they walked back on that. Here's the scenario. Team in a close race has 41 players, with one on 60 IL. Guy comes off IL right before gametime. Now roster illegal, 150 points not counted, league lost, people mad. So it's easier to be unstrict about it. Anyways the problem is I have a full roster but too much money. Anybody wanna trade me someone expensive?
-
That doesnt seem right

One can go over the max. Just can't propose or reject trades, or change your lineup until legal again.
-
Still the right doolitte now has 44 players of 42 max, how can you bid and add free agents that put you over the max?

I think I can finally field a full lineup most days now. See if I can catch up.
-
This season has a real feel of 3v3 overtime hockey. Glorious chaos and excitement around every turn.
-
Look out Pretzels, Im moving up to get you

Okay, our draft is complete. Good job everyone! The free agency markets are now open. A note of caution: I've done this before (built a team without a draft) and the thing that can happen is that you bid on a lot of players at once and win them all, and then you're way over-budget, and have to cut everyone. I won't tell you how to live your life, but I'll definitely be trying not to have that same sort of fiasco.
-
So it's almost noon, and we only have two responses. Option B is out, so we're going to do Option D. No draft, straight to free-agent chaos. It'll be a blast. I'll enable that as soon as everyone gets their finances under control, and really I'm looking at you, Savages in the Box. I'll literally be looking at you over our work Zoom call at 2:00, so maybe we'll get the market open shortly after that.

B-D-C-A for me

B-D-C-A for me. :)
-
Go ahead and rank those options in your order of preference.
-
Thirdly, I'm going to give four options for draft. Option A: We draft tomorrow (7/22) starting at 10:00 PM EST; Option B: We draft on Thursday (7/23) at noon EST; Option C: We let the season start but find a time to draft after 7/28 but before 8/8; Option D: We skip the draft entirely and just open up free agency, where we can compete in blind auctions (I've done this when taking over a team from scratch during a season, it's kind of fun but you have to be careful not to outbid your budget).
-
Secondly, because things are so weird, I've given everyone one additional round of penalty-free cuts. You can cut as many players as you want, but you have to do them all at once.
-
No, let's do this! I hope y'all are safe and healthy and that your lives are in order. I am safe and healthy and my life is not at all in order! This is a weird year, and so first off, I'd love for everyone to stick around for next year regardless of whether or not you participate in this one. If you would like a refund on this year, hit me up for $20 at imalino@gmail.com.
-
I guess not then
-
Are we doing this?
-
Hey friends, been awhile. I hope everyone is healthy, safe, and financially secure. Just wanted to drop in for a second and say that, if there ends up being baseball this year, I'll reheat this and there will be fantasy baseball this year. If there ends up not being baseball this year, and if FanGraphs doesn't issue refunds (and let's face it, they need our money right now), then I'm happy to use the "DRaysBay coffers" to refund everyone's dues for this year, while we sit tight for nex
-
Yeah, I'm up for letting this team go. Just paypal me, I'll email you
-
4. And here's the Doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/3d7x28hfgsygbuxm
-
3. It's time to set a draft date. I'll make a doodle in a sec, but if people can just start shouting out their availability and unavailability, sometimes that helps.
-
2. Savages in the box will get his cuts in, probably tomorrow. Sorry it didn't happen already, everybody, and sorry if that throws off any plans you've already made. He literally sits next to me at work, and I recruited him in right before the deadline, and then forgot to show him how to do anything or let him make cuts post-deadline. My bad. But I'll get that moving.
-
Hey y'all, three things. 1) Free Agent Fodder, can I relieve you of your team now and pay you back, and thank you so much for your service to the league? I've got an owner (in now, Jared) who is willing to take this team on while you work on humbling those annoying folks a level up (please beat them).
