I think I speak for all of us when I say to please tell Wayne to keep fighting the fight! and we plan to see him downrange sometime soon! He did a lot to get this league up and running and we are very appreciative!!

Bummed for Wayne, hope he gets well soon. That said, commish, I’ll try not to run his team into the ground and maybe he’ll be up for taking it back next season.
-
Stopped in to say, howdy, and let you know. I won't be back. This crappy illness and sapped me. Wish you all the best.

I'm looking for a dependable middle infield option, and open to different possibilities.

Happy Opening Day! Good luck to everyone!

Although I’m working undercover, I or a Pinch Hitter will be there to restore past glories and reclaim this cherished title. Those BB’s you’re seeing is the Ugly Sox pitching staff warming up.

Guys ....... just confirming with you that our auction draft will be this Sunday @ 4pm PST / 7pm EST. I think we should be able to get through the draft in one session.

Guys ........... PTL, looks like baseball is on!! Let's plan on keeping our tentative draft date of Sunday March 20th @ 7pm EST. Let me know if any of you see it differently, hopefully this works for most teams. thanks guys.

Guys..........as of today, sounds like CBA will not happen anytime soon and we are likely looking at a delay in when the season will start. My gut says around a month? Let's hold on the draft date and see how things progress. I think the consensus is we want to push it out as much as possible. Stay tuned.

I agree, lets keep an eye on CBA negotiation and start of season date once determined. For now March 20 is a good starting point, but we can always push it out if things fall apart between MLB/MLBPA. stay tuned.

Yea, lets do it on a Sunday night but lets see how things go. I think we should at least wait until the CBA is finalized to set an auction date.
-
I have no problem with setting a tentative date for the draft - but we need to be flexible in the event that there is no MLB / MLBPA agreement is not reached with enough time to plan. I am thinking we need at least 2 weeks from the settlement to the draft.

2022 DRAFT: Hey guys ..... let's tentatively plan to have our auction draft on Sunday, March 20th. It is virtually impossible to land on a date and time that works for 12 different people. Sundays and evenings tend to be the best for the majority so lets plan on March 20th @ 7pm EST. Let me know if you have any thoughts or concerns. Thanks. Steve

Friendly Reminder .......... all penalty free player cuts must be made today (Feb 15) by midnight EST. Not sure if we will have baseball by opening day (Mar 31), but based some of your feedback, we will push our draft out as far as possible once we know when opening day is. If you have any thoughts or preferences, please weigh-in with the group. Thanks guys.

I am looking for a projectable middle infield option.
My trade block is updated, but fluid.
Thank you.
-
I'd like to formally welcome both new members to the league.
I'm not a huge fan of group-texting, but will listen to what everyone else has to say about it.
One of my other leagues has set a draft date and time for March 6 at 1:00 p.m., so I'd hope we could avoid at least that afternoon as a date and time option.
As always, I appreciate the great communication amongst the league members.
Let's hope MLB and the MLBPA can get their acts together.
-
Welcome all! Sounds like we have some serious competition this year. I’m all for that. Looking forward to the season. Now all we need are some “professionals”.
-
I'm fine using Group Me if that's the route we go.
-
Welcome to the league Jeff. It is a great group of managers. You are going to have a lot of fun.
-
Thanks for the welcome and clarity on the draft. I'm good using the message board and PM's for communication as it cuts down on the number of places I need to stay up to date. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone throughout the season.

as far as communication, for now we just use the league message board. I am also in an Otto league that has been around several years, and we also use GroupMe, which is fantastic for communicating, and sharing info across the group. If enough of you guys are interested, I am happy to set us up in GroupMe, all I need is everyone's email (which I have) and everyone would need to download the app. Not a big deal either way, just thought it was worth mentioning. More to come........

Jeff ........ welcome to the league and thanks for joining, we have a good group of guys. Also welcome to the manager that picked up the Second City squad, we are now back to 12 teams. As far as the auction draft, given the strike, I am in favor of pushing it out as far as possible, perhaps the week before opening day? We will put a few dates/times out there and vote/agree on draft day. No penalty player cut deadline remains at Feb 15th, that is hard-wired by Otto. More to come......

Welcome to the league Jeff! My name is Barry and I too am a lifelong Tiger fan - I live near Port Huron. League discussions happen through the message board and PMs, and we usually mutually pick a draft date. I am hoping that we wait until the shutdown is over ...
-
Hello, I haven't introduced myself yet after I took over one of the abandoned teams now renamed Ma's Chaw. My name is Jeff I'm from the Detroit Metro area making me a life long Tigers fan.
I saw we had the last team claimed last night. Do you all typically draft around a specific time each year or are we collectively waiting to see how the lockout pans out before making draft plans?
Does league discussion typically happen over the message board/PM's or do you have a d

Thanks guys for getting re-ups taken care of. Just one team we need to give a nudge.
-
BTW, you may not have noticed, but keeper deadline has been extended to February 15th. Dues still need to be in by January 31st. Please don't wait until the last moment.
-
Anyone looking for some star power. I got guys I'm willing to deal. Keeper deadline is the 31st, lets get our rosters ready for the auction.
-
Welcome to the league Shoopy. It's a great group to work and deal with. You'll have a lot of fun.
-
Hey all, we have a new owner! Please make sure to give a shout out to Shoopy. Glad to have you aboard! And while I'm at it, I wish all of you a Merry and Blessed Christmas and the most awesome New Year!
-
Not a bad idea Count, or something close to it. Not sure what it would entail to make it happen. On another note, I am unable to stay on as a commish. OGR will take the lead but it would be good if someone could step up to work with him. I'll still be around, just in a rather diminished capacity. I enjoy this group and wish everyone a fabulous Christmas, and of course a great season.
-
With no clear end in sight for the current MLB lockout, can we consider extending the Keeper deadline? Maybe 30 days or so after an agreement is reached?
-
If anyone is interested, I can move prospect depth and/or Nimmo for some MLB (or close to MLB-ready) starting pitching. My trade block is updated. Thank you.
-
Alright, welcome back! Always nice to have someone else who can relate to the Amazin's.
