• ...ie, there is a $1 cap penalty to cut someone from your 5MiLB roster. You do not get to "replenish" your roster - Grays will only have four 5MiLB players until next spring (unless he trades with someone). I would like any call-ups to be announced on this message board by the owner. If throughout the course of the season you notice that somebody else's 5MiLB needs to be called up, post that here too.

• glad you brought it up. I'll link to the rules document, but using Amir Garrett as an example: Garrett MUST be added to Homestead Grays' standard 40-man roster within 48 hrs after logging his first MLB inning. If Grays wants to get credit for Garrett's first start, he may want to call him up beforehand. If there is no space on the roster, then the standard rules apply - in this case Grays would have to cut somebody. That somebody CAN be Garrett - but he has to get called up first....

• With Amir Garrett making the Reds roster, after he pitches one inning what is process for him being brought up from MiLB? He's not on my roster, but since he appears to be the first one from our MiLB rosters I thought it would be beneficial to go through this. I mean, does Babe Ruth's or Who's immediately add him to Homestead's roster via commissioner powers once that inning has been pitched? Curious minds would like to know. :)

• Thanks Matthew. I guess the trade block thing didn't work this time

  Chicago Cubs Sox on March 30, 2017 1:18 AM

• Keller is also owned in 5 MiLB by Ice Cold Pitchers, so I will remove him from whichever team wins him

  Yakult Swallows on March 30, 2017 12:39 AM

• As discussed, I removed Corey Ray from Snydergaaaaaaaaaardians (at no penalty) because he was already owned in 5MiLB.

  Durham Bulls on March 27, 2017 1:23 PM

• I liked the idea of adding MiLB 5 to the trade block, so I copied the idea to give them (some more ) visibility, though I'm not looking to trade them per se.

• yeah, and i don't think there's any way for me to cancel a current auction. I'll remove Ray from whichever team wins him (at no penalty). I've added my 5MiLB guys to my "trade block", not sure if this will help to increase visibility if others do the same. We'll all just have to remember to check before putting any guys with no MLB service time up for auction, and just keep policing each other.

• no problem - I'm glad you brought it up though, because it looks like there are a few other teams set to expire within a week. Everyone, please renew if necessary!

  Teetotalers on March 16, 2017 10:24 PM

• Matthew & Sean - I won't let my team expire, Niv just owes me a free team renewal for his Top 50 FA's contest. I just forgot to follow it up for a week.

  Chicago Cubs Sox on March 16, 2017 10:01 PM

• Just a reminder that the auction is this Saturday, 3/18, 9pm EDT.

  Teetotalers on March 15, 2017 12:36 PM

• Wow, I really like that idea Sean.

  Chicago Cubs Sox on February 7, 2017 3:45 PM

• I could have kept picking too, but that may be because the pre-spring training winter months are boring. There are definitely some interesting players left, but I guess that makes for more auction fun.

  Twinkies & Scotch 🥃 on February 7, 2017 1:01 PM

• i was actually thinking of proposing a few more rounds of 5MiLB around the 2017 rule 4 amateur draft...where everybody takes one or two guys that are actually drafted this June. not sure how it would work exactly, but i definitely could've kept picking too.

  Teetotalers on February 7, 2017 12:54 PM

• It was fun for the last week, and definitely has me looking forward to the start of the season. And, even though I may have whiffed a few times on my last pick (I'll blame the alcohol and super bowl party I was at), I probably could have done a couple more rounds.

  Coney Island Dogs on February 7, 2017 12:17 PM

• Yeah, sounds crazy to say, but I could go more rounds too. Was great fun this past week and really has me eager for the season. Thanks to all.

  Piskijikers on February 7, 2017 11:59 AM

• I would go more rounds! :)

  Durham Bulls on February 7, 2017 9:20 AM

• Great draft everyone! Really enjoyed it, can we go 5 more rounds ;) kidding... kind of

  Twinkies & Scotch 🥃 on February 7, 2017 9:16 AM

• Thanks everybody for a great last week or so!

  Yakult Swallows on February 6, 2017 6:19 PM

• Soto... speaking of the OF I was umming over... at least I know a few players that I'm looking to trade for now

  Chicago Cubs Sox on February 6, 2017 5:03 PM

• This was a lot of fun, thanks to all for being so active. I've officially made the auction 3/18 at 9pm EST. So until then, we'll... count the days until spring training?

  Teetotalers on February 6, 2017 4:51 PM
