re: draft, I can make most times work, but prefer a night (est) slot.
Trades!: J. Upton, A. Toles, Neshek, Manaea, Madson, Swarzak, Barraclough all available
-
Other than 3/3, any day after like 7pm CST will work for me
-
Then propose something that will work for you, please.

Your Sunday is my Monday. Not Happening

That would work for me.

Schedules:
For the main auction, how about Sunday, March 4th, 8:00EST?
For 5MiLB, how about we start a slow draft on Saturday, February 10th? This will allow for a week to review/research after the cut deadline. Like last year, whoever's on the clock gets up to 12 hours to make their pick. With so many 5MiLB keepers the whole draft should only take a couple days.

I removed Garrett, Dalbec, and Kirilloff from 5MiLB rosters.

Well, I'm going to go ahead and cut Braxton Garrett and Bobby Dalbec from my MiLB roster.
-
I'll volunteer to yell at you if you pick someone who isn't eligible ;)
-
creating a comprehensive list of who is/isn't eligible is a pretty massive undertaking, one that I don't think I'm up for. I think what worked well during the slow 5MiLB draft last year is just some group oversight of each pick. Realistically, most of the low-hanging fruit got picked in last years's draft and there probably aren't going to be many top 50 prospects available this year. And part of the fun of this, I think, is doing a deep dive on rosters to see who's been missed...

Thanks for the clarification. Can you post a link to the MiLB rosters? It would be greatly appreciated. Also, just a thought...but we should try to get something to show what MiLB players are unavailable for the draft because they were on someone's team during the regular season.
-
WB4: no - "5MiLB keepers will be kept in the latest possible round, which means each team that keeps < five 5MiLB players prior to the 5MiLB draft will receive a 1st round pick." So if you keep 3 players, you would receive a 1st and 2nd round pick this year (but not 3rd/4th/5th).

Pinkerton also brought up a good point: one way to clear space for this year's 5MiLB is to promote players to the 40 man roster now. You don’t HAVE to wait until the player is actually in the majors, you can call up any 5MiLB player at any time. The downside is that once he’s on your 40-man, you can’t later demote him, even if he hasn’t made it to MLB. Pinkerton is promoting Acuna now to clear up a draft spot, because it seems certain he’d have to promote him this spring anyway.

I’ve updated the 5MiLB sheet to reflect Acuna’s promotion (to Pinkerton), Perez & Newman’s removal (from Prepare Yoenis and Homestead Grays respectively). I’ve also shuffled the rows to reflect who would get picks in each round if the 5MiLB rosters were finalized today – note that as of right now, 7 teams would not get ANY picks.

March 3rd, probably not gonna work for me. I have dinner plans that night with the girlfriend and her family. Also, just making sure I understand correctly, if I keep my first 3 picks from last year, and cut my 4th and 5th round picks, I don't pick til the 4th?

I will cut Delvin Perez
-
I will cut MiLB5 Kevin Newman :'(

1. Just to start the discussion - I'm proposing the regular auction is held on Saturday, March 3, 8:00 EST.

2. Like last year, I'm proposing we hold a 5MiLB "slow draft" starting on or about February 1st.

3. I think we can only hold the 5MiLB draft before the regular auction if everyone's on the same page regarding the rules. Please take a moment to reacquaint yourself (link below). I added a "Shohei Otani rule" to the charter earlier this offseason, but there's also a few weird cases like Miles Mikolas (who should clearly be excluded but may cause confusion).

4. In particular, I want to be sure everyone understands how 5MiLB keepers will work with the next draft. In short - if you keep players, then you’re limited in the number of new players you can draft...

...For example, Jaime Moyer's Fastball currently has 8 players. He can keep them all if he wants, but then he can’t draft any new players this year. If he decides he only wants to keep 2 players, then he can draft 3 new ones...

...Any keepers are kept in the latest possible round - if I keep three players I will draft in rounds 1 and 2 (only). The 5MiLB keeper deadline will be the same as the regular deadline (1/31). If you decide to cut players from your 5MiLB roster please so state on the league message board.

5. Any players that made it to the majors in September 2017 but were allowed to stay on 5MiLB rosters through allocation & salary increase are no longer eligible for 5MiLB. This includes Chance Sisco, Francisco Meija, and Sandy Alcantara...

...I've added these three players onto their respective owners' 40-man rosters and removed them from the 5MiLB rosters. It's very likely that there are others that should be promoted for this reason as well; please check your rosters and let me know.

6. I've updated the 5MiLB document (link below) with what should be current rosters, incorporating trades that have occurred in the offseason. Please check your team to make sure I haven’t missed anyone. There’s an updated tab on the document listing the order of the 2018 5MiLB draft.

Yes, no/yes, and yes! Yes, there will be another 5MiLB draft. It'll be a snake draft in reverse order of last year's finish. I've been pretty tied up lately but will send a comprehensive summary/refresher on the 5MiLB rules/schedule no later than this weekend. In the meantime, yes - we should start thinking about a date for the general auction. Everyone please start listing any preferences or days you absolutely can't do; my assumption is that the start time should probably be 8-9pm EST?

I have no idea what H2H is, so I would be better off sticking with what I know. But I am sure I could pick it up if the league decides to go that way. Not a problem either way.

This looks interesting. I would be in to change it to head to head and playoffs. Would keep those of us in rebuilding mode more involved at the end of the season.

Should we make this league head-to-head with playoffs? Divisions? Lots to unpack here:
