There's a feature on our lineup page where you can switch on/off to "bench position players that are not in their MLB starting lineup". This is really helpful for late scratches and will help avoid empty games played. It's an optional feature and no issue to leave it off and manage lineups yourself - just want to make sure all are aware and reminded of the option.

CP, been enjoying all the 3-1 Count posts the past couple weeks, unfortunately I'm not enjoying my typical trio of Lewis, Turner, and Lowe already being hurt to start the season (3 is not the charm) , knew I should have dropped those jokers

Fakish opening day tomorrow...the real deal is Mar 27. Reminder that stats from Tokyo do not count in our league. And that our draft is Sun Mar 23 at 6p central.
Dale Murphy and Andruw Jones for the HOF!

Found clarification on Tokyo stats - they will not count in our league due to our draft occuring after.

That will work for me

Looks like we have our answer. Draft date / time will stay as planned. Appreciate the input. Didn't want to slide past the stat dynamic without it being a league decision.

I would not be able to do March 15.
-
I second leaving the date alone. I’ve planned other drafts around the fact we set our date fairly early.

My suggestion is leave the draft date. I'm available if the group votes to change it to Sat, March 15, but I think it'll be difficult to get all 12 of us to agree to a 2nd date.

Our draft is scheduled for Mar 23 6p (c). MLB has two in-season games set for Mar 18-19 overseas, then the traditional regular season starts Mar 27. My question is do we want to hold our draft date or consider moving it to Mar 15 at 6p? If we hold our current date the only implication is that the two games would likely be eligible for stat compilation predraft. Which is not an issue in my mind but I feel it should be a group consideration for us. Please respond here or PM with thoughts. Thx!

Reminder that tomorrow is the deadline for both getting your cuts in and renewing your team. No grace allowed on cuts as it would be unfair to others to extend the deadline. Also, still 4 teams to renew. Get er done!

Hey Guys,
I still have a lot of stars on my roster I obviously can't keep. If you don't want to risk bidding on them in the auction for more than their current salary, talk to me. I'm pretty deep in pitching, but I'd be interested in younger guys at infield (except SS) and Outfield.

Reminder to take some of your holiday money and renew your team for 2026!

I'm targeting Sun Mar 23 6p central for our draft. Normal opening day is Thu Mar 27, so this fits our ongoing pattern of drafting the Sun before. There are a couple of mid Mar games in Tokyo that we will just let pass. Please add the date to your calendars, thx!

Great job spending those arbitration dollars - always appreciate everyone staying on top of it in our league. Once the official arb window ends on the 14th we should be open to trade and drop players again. Will be back in touch with proposed draft date soon.

I have another Ottonue league I am in that has a few teams available. Also the commish there has stepped aside and I am going to pinch-hit commish for at least this upcoming season. The league has been around since 2017 and is https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/752/home
If anyone here is interested in grabbing an open team let me know. It's a points format, which scores differently than ours where we use categories. I enjoy both. It's a $75 entry league for anyone considering.

Make me an offer. Many on my team are available. Goldschmidt is 8 for his last 18 and I'd eat some of his salary. Tatis is coming off the IL very soon and I'd eat a majority of his salary for the right offer. Hit me up with ideas. The worst I can say is no. The best is that I accept your offer. Winn, Sewald and Helsley are three players that are NOT on the trading block (there are others but those are the names that people keep asking about).

Thx much Hustle! I figured they would start Wood out lower part of order, should work his way up quickly. Nats lineup gets really interesting once Crews is ready too.

Great article and go James Wood.

Enjoyed the article! Looks like the Nats got Wood in the 6 hole tonight.

For anyone interested, I'm going to host a Zoom for the draft tonight. It's more fun to be able to talk while drafting (and sometimes trash talk). if you are interested in joining the Zoom please click the link (but don't feel obligated).

In case I forget to mention it tonight, please remember to set your lineups before you go to bed. It's only one game, but tomorrow mornings LAD v SD counts. Game time is 5:05a central.

Draft tonight 7p central. Should take about 2 hrs, probably want to leave yourself a bit more time just in case.

The 19th looks good for us, so let's say 7p central to give folks a bit of extra time to get home from work. Per usual, draft should be around 2 hours-ish. I'll change it in the system. Opening day on its way!
