Fine by me. WAR, you can pick whenever you want, clock won't start until tomorrow morning though. And everyone please follow Lobster's format for your picks. Next up on the first rounds is obvious, but once teams start getting skipped it's easy to not realize who is on the clock. So when you make your pick please check the google sheet and make sure to ping the team that is up next. Thanks and happy drafting!
-
Getting the draft started a little early, here is my pick:
Jesus Made, SS, Brewers
Next pick: Wins Above Reality

Yes, it is. There are still 4 owners that haven't responded, but I'll tentatively set it for then.

That week before is brutal for me. I have an initial draft for a new Otto league that will take 2 of the days, I have a City Council meeting that I have to attend on one night, and then I have a family event on the Thursday. So I couldn't do any day that week. And the week before that we're then scheduling a draft that's less than a week out and also during the middle of our milb draft. I'm open to suggestions on it, but I don't see how we can move it any earlier.
-
Next 2 weeks work for me. I’d prefer to get the draft done sooner rather than later.
-
Might be worth looking at some earlier options - next week or the week after?
-
Wow, there is really limited availability from the 6owners that have filled out the Doodle. Only Mar 2 and 4 have only 1 person that can't attend. I can open up some more days, but then the Tokyo series games won't count in the season-long statistics. And based on the limited availability shown, I'm not confident we'll find a date after the Tokyo series. Please everyone fill out the doodle ASAP and if anyone can open up more days on your doodle entry, please do
-
Hey everyone. The draft board is updated. Please review and let me know if you see any errors. One week until we start the 5milb draft, but we also need to schedule the regular auction draft. Below is a doodle link, please fill it out with the days you are available. Mar 18 is the start of the Tokyo series, so let's try to schedule it before then. If no days work, I will add some dates between Mar 18 and opening day.

Thanks for the updates PTBNL
-
I think that is all the rules that I will highlight. We have lots of new owners, so just want to make sure we are all clear of what is happening. The links to the rules and the draft sheet are on the League Settings page. I suggest reviewing them. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
It is your responsibility to make sure that they players you pick are eligible. I will do my best to pay attention to picks and say something, but don't rely on me. Similar to missing a pick, if you draft someone ineligible you can make the next pick but only of remaining players. We won't go back in the draft and remove other team's picks. This rule stands even if no one notices during the draft or into the season. Someone that is ineligible will be removed from your 5milb roster.
-
However, you CAN draft guys that were cut directly off 5milb rosters this offseason, if you want.
-
You can only draft players that have no mlb experience. The draft sheet will also have a list of the ineligible players, which will include rostered prospects, anyone that was cut of the 40 man rosters in the offseason, and all international players signed this offseason. So players that were cut off of 40 man rosters since Sept can only be drafted in the regular Otto auction draft. Also, foreign players that were signed this offseason, both guys like Sasaki and 16 year olds, are ineligible
-
Alright, so 5milb time. I'll be putting together the draft google sheet next week. The draft will start on the 15th and each pick will be posted here on the league message board. Each team will have 24 hours to make a pick. If you don't pick in 24 hours, the next team is free to make their pick (and the following team, etc). The team that got skipped can make their missed pick at any time, but only of players that haven't been selected. I will try to update the draft sheet every night.

Please cut Harry Ford, Brock Wilken, and Roderick Arias from my 5MiLB roster. Thanks.

I clearly drafted poorly last year. I'm cutting everyone that I didn't trade for, lol. I'm cutting Ramirez, Cruz, and Melton
-
Call-up Jenkins, Miller, and Iriarte to WAR's Active Roster ... Cut Cam Collier from WAR's 5MiLB
-
Please cut Miguel Bleis BOS off of my 5MiLB team. I believe that leaves me at 3 spots filled on my 5MiLB.
-
Please cut Gabriel Gonzalez and James Triantos from our MiLB roster
-
Some reminders:
1. Renewal deadline is this Friday. Make sure and renew before then. Your team will be available for anyone to claim if you haven't paid by then.
2. The cut deadline for both Ottoneu and the 5milb rosters is Friday. Make sure you get your cuts in for both!
3. I'll set up the draft sheet once the cut deadline passes and everyone's number of picks is set. We'll start the 5milb draft on Feb 15. It's a slow draft and you have 24 hours to make a pick. Details t

Hi PTBNL. Can you please:
- Cut Gavin Cross from my MiLB roster
- Promote Johnson, Jones, Eldridge to my MLB roster
Thanks!
-
Thanks everyone and welcome to Generous. We'll plan on the cut deadline for 5milb and regular rosters on Jan 31 and starting the 5milb auction on Feb 15.
-
PTBNL - I am good with the change.
-
Hi all - just took over Finneytown Flusterclucks. Will get the trade block updated later today. Looking forward to the season!

That works for me too

Greg, I’m good with that change.

So I propose that we make the 5milb cut deadline the same date as the Otto cut deadline; Jan 31, and then we’ll start the 5miob draft on Feb 15. That work for everyone? Happy to answer any questions that thw new owners may have.
-
Alright, it looks like we have a full league. Welcome to all the new owners! As I’ve mentioned to each of you, this league has 5miob rosters. Over the last several years we’ve been setting a 5milb cut deadline of January 1 and then draft on Jan 15 (it’s a slow draft, 24 hours to make a pick). However, since everyone just came on I think we should postpone it a month to give the new owners time to get comfortable with their rosters and do their draft prep.
