If only I had thought of that $500 scheme, Tom!
-
Sorry for not responding sooner but I'm available and happy to proceed with the draft as well this Wednesday provided everyone else can still make it.
-
Wait, this isn’t for money? Why is Scott making me send him $500 before each season then? I’m good with keeping this week. I know Scott mentioned no time being good for everyone prior, so I think the only reason to try and push back would be because we could find a good time for all.
-
Since there's no money on the line, I'd be OK going forward. My home league (and the NFBC too, for that matter) decided to delay things ... but people are a little more invested, if you will, when they have a stake in the outcome. In this league, as in Tout Wars, everyone is operating under the same circumstances and there are no financial ramifications to worry about. (From the participants' point of view, that is.)
-
I'm indifferent. Might be just as tough to find a new time that works for all if we delayed.
-
Hey, all. Our auction is scheduled for this Wednesday at 8pm ET. Does everyone still want to draft then? I don't feel strongly about things either way, so I'm happy to let anyone with conviction decide.
-
It looks like we have a day and time for the auction that works for everyone. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 18 at 8:00pm ET. I'll send a reminder as the date approaches. Expect it to take about 3 hours, depending on how much roster you have left to fill. And let me know ASAP if that date and time doesn't work for you. Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for making your roster cuts. Next up, we need to decide when our auction draft will be. Last year's draft took just under 3 hours, and I expect this one will be about the same. Please fill out this link to let me know what times will work for you: http://whenisgood.net/apbhcrh

Appreciate the warm welcome! Chatwood is a free agent ... and that was Eric's selling point to me on joining this league

Welcome, Kyle! Now the full Fantasy Focus Baseball crew is on board. I wish I had Tyler Chatwood so I could trade him to you...
-
We have a new owner to replace Mike G.! Welcome Kyle Soppe, fantasy writer, researcher, and podcast producer for ESPN. Everyone should feel free to flood Kyle with trade offers, and remember that the cut deadline is this Friday night.
-
And finally, I haven't had any luck replacing Mike G. in the last couple of months, and since I don't work in baseball anymore, I don't run in the right circles. So I could definitely use some help if any of you have friends (in industry or otherwise) who would want to take over Mike's team. Just let me know if you do. Thanks.
-
You also need to make sure you have an eligible roster, which means a total salary under $400 plus room for at least $1 players up to a full roster of 40 players.
-
Hey, guys. This is your 10-day warning for keepers. By the end of January 31, you need to release any players you don't want or else you'll be stuck with them and their current salaries until after the auction draft.
-
I haven't had any luck so far either. Anyone know someone who would want to join the league?

Today is the last day for arbitration and 6 teams have not allocated yet. Also, do we have a replacement for Mike Gianella? Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who could join.
-
Hey, all. Mike G. is leaving the league, so if anyone has a replacement owner in mind, let me know. Otherwise, I'll see what I can do.

Hey, guys. Arbitration is now open. Between now and mid November, please go to the Arb page and allocate at least $1 to each of the other 11 teams and all $25 of your total allocation budget. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
-
Congratulations to Bret for absolutely destroying all of us this year. I hope everyone enjoyed the season, and I'll circle back in a few weeks to let you know when arbitration starts.
-
That might be a little more fun if Bret hadn't already destroyed all of us.
-
I should probably remind everyone that the trade deadline is tomorrow night, and you can make trades up until the deadline even if they'll be processed after it passes.

I added Ian Happ back to Zack Attack's team because Tom accidentally dropped him and realized and communicated it immediately.

Hi, I'm not going to be able to make 2/23. I'm attending a play that evening.

The auction is going to be this Saturday, February 23 at 8:45pm ET. The random time will allow one of our drafters to make it after a prior commitment and should hopefully have everyone finished between 11pm and midnight ET. If that time won't work for you, let me know ASAP. Look forward to talking to you on Saturday!

Thanks to everyone for making your cutdowns. Next up, we need to decide when our auction draft will be. I expect it will take in the ballpark of 3 hours. Please fill out this link to let me know what times will work for you: http://whenisgood.net/hkxpxri

The cutdown deadline is tonight at midnight! Be sure you cut everyone you don't want to keep heading into the auction. At a minimum, you'll need to have $1 available for every open roster spot up to 40.

I'm looking to make a couple trades before the deadline to shed some salary for cheaper, younger players. Let me know if you are interested in Freddie Freeman ($52), Nelson Cruz ($31), Marcell Ozuna ($29), Kenley Jansen ($26), Wil Myers ($17), or Jesus Aguilar ($13).
-
Hey, everyone. I wanted to introduce Tom Truong, who will be taking over Triple Shy of a Cycle. Meanwhile, I also want to remind you that we're a little over a week away from the 1/31 keeper deadline. Make those cuts, and make some trades. Thanks!
-
Hey, all. I haven't been able to get hold of Paul Sporer in a few months, so at this point, I think we need a replacement owner to take his team. Does anyone know someone who might be interested? Ideally, I'd like to get a new owner in short order so that person can make his team's keep and drop decisions before the 31st deadline.
-
Thanks all for taking care of your allocations for arbitration. The next league milestone is the January 31 keeper deadline. Trades are back open between now and then, so proceed to wheel and deal to get your roster where you want it to be prior to next year's draft.

Hey, everybody. Reminder that arbitration is due this Wednesday by EOD. Looks like maybe half the teams in the league haven't entered theirs yet. I'll follow up individually on Wednesday for people that still haven't. Thanks!

Hey, guys. Arbitration season is open for the next month. At the top left of the main page, click "Arbitration" then use the drop-down in the upper left to go team-by-team and add $2-3 to the salary of a player(s) of your choosing. Let me know if you have questions.
-
Congratulations to Jake for winning the league this year and knocking off defending champion Tom in the process. Next up on the docket is arbitration. I'll let everyone know when that period starts. Thanks for a great year everyone.
-
Hey, guys. Just sending out a quick reminder that the trade deadline in this league is this Friday at 11:59pm ET.
