• I guess I would ask everyone to think if they have someone that would be willing to take the team and reach out to them to see if they are interested. We'll make a call tomorrow morning if we still dont have a 12th owner. Right now I would say it gets pushed back.

  Big Bats on March 1, 2020 2:17 AM

• I don’t know. On one hand, finding a time was not easy, and looking at the doodle poll (still available for viewing) I don’t see another good time. On the other hand, I’d rather have twelve teams draft. I just don’t know when we’ll find the twelfth person.

  Prairie Hurricanes on February 29, 2020 10:26 PM

• I think it is going to be much easier to find a 12th owner than finding a draft date that works for everyone, especially on short notice.

  In Play, Run(s) on February 29, 2020 8:45 PM

• I hope we can draft tomorrow, but will go along with any change that is needed.

  PuppyMonkeyBaby on February 29, 2020 8:42 PM

• I would prefer keeping the date which was set if possible. It was difficult to find a good time for everyone.

  Average Joe’s on February 29, 2020 8:22 PM

• im fine as well although was tricky finding a time that worked for everyone. but would def prefer 12

  Magnets Yo on February 29, 2020 6:43 PM

• Hello - I am all for moving it back to end of March. It would give us a chance to get another owner, a chance for that person to work through the roster they get and give us more planning time if nobody plays. Beat part we can see how many more of players get injured jn Spring Training and we can backup if needed. Sorry Yankees fans :)

  Big Papi memories on February 29, 2020 6:34 PM

• that does make sense. and that hack for knocking his value down is a little oddball but it makes sense. i would imagine someone out for the year would be worth little other than protection for when he comes back. thx helpful!

  Magnets Yo on February 26, 2020 1:59 AM

• You do get an extra roster spot if hes on the 60 day IL though - soblast year at the end I stashed a bunch of dudes on the 60 day IL in case they might have some value at a like $3 this year. If that makes sense.

  Big Bats on February 26, 2020 1:52 AM

• So you carry half the salary, but you can re-auction him every 30 days - so say it's a $15 hit now. In 30 days you can start a new auction for him at starting bid of $8 - you may win the auction in which case hes yours at $8 and I think the penalty comes off. You can then cut him again and then your penalty is only $4 and then re-auction again 30 days later, etc. If you re-auction and someone else wins him then the whole penalty is gone. Double check the actual rules though.

  Big Bats on February 26, 2020 1:51 AM

• ugh. severino out for the season. remind me again how it works now. i have to carry at least half his salary. we dont have any gimmes for 60 day dls right?

  Magnets Yo on February 26, 2020 12:42 AM

• Working on finding the last owner - and confirmed the draft time. Have one newbie that preferred the team that was claimed already. Seeing if he will take the other team. If not - I also asked if he wanted to manage the team if we/I covered the league fee. I know Carlos mention he had someone who might be interested in the other team, but if anyone has an extra feel free to bring them into the party.

  Big Bats on February 25, 2020 11:55 PM

• That's my understanding. Looking forward to it!

  Magnets Yo on February 25, 2020 1:33 PM

• I hate being pushy, but is the draft set for March 1st (this Sunday) at 1 PM PST, 4 PM EST? If we're going to try to find an owner for the remaining ownerless team, it will help if that's confirmed.

  Prairie Hurricanes on February 25, 2020 1:31 PM

• Commissioner, Any chance of another cut? As a new player I thought I had more time.

  PuppyMonkeyBaby on February 22, 2020 4:21 PM

• I'm good for 3/1

  PuppyMonkeyBaby on February 21, 2020 11:12 PM

• So the current consensus is March 1st at 1:00 PM PST, 4:00 PM EST

  Prairie Hurricanes on February 21, 2020 10:48 PM

• This works for me

  Briyce Harangue 🦢 on February 21, 2020 4:48 PM

• 1pm pst is fine for me. i didnt see the time frame

  Magnets Yo on February 21, 2020 3:13 PM

• I think I can do that.

  Hobble Kill on February 21, 2020 3:11 PM

• The doodle poll was for 1 PM EST on March 1. 3 PM PST is 6 PM EST which is not the early afternoon and is a problem for me. Can we do 1 PM PST (4 PM EST) or 1:30 PST (4:30 EST)?

  Prairie Hurricanes on February 21, 2020 2:49 PM

• Works for me

  Briyce Harangue 🦢 on February 21, 2020 10:40 AM

• Works for me

  Average Joe’s on February 21, 2020 10:25 AM

• Me too

  Old Yellich on February 21, 2020 10:25 AM

• Works for me

  Big Papi memories on February 21, 2020 9:51 AM

• Works for me too

  Quad-A Shuttle on February 21, 2020 9:24 AM

• That works for me.

  Hobble Kill on February 21, 2020 8:16 AM

• great! next will be the best time. is 3pm pst doable?

  Magnets Yo on February 21, 2020 1:36 AM

• You guys can go ahead without me if you need to. I might be able to find a substitute, and may be able to check in for a few minutes here and there.

  In Play, Run(s) on February 20, 2020 10:16 PM

• With one other player voting, March 1 is acceptable to 8 of 9. Milton’s Marauders can’t make that time.

  Prairie Hurricanes on February 20, 2020 10:10 PM

• why dont we just set it for march 1 and hope others can adjust their schedules?

  Magnets Yo on February 20, 2020 11:31 AM

• We’ve had 8 participants in the doodle poll. All 8 can make Monday, March 16th, which we know Big Bats can’t make. There are two early Sunday slots that 7 can make: Feb 23rd and March 1st. However, that’s short notice for filling the open teams. The poll is still open.

  Prairie Hurricanes on February 19, 2020 10:35 PM

• great! thx for doing this. WAY better!

  Magnets Yo on February 19, 2020 11:03 AM

• I've set up a doodle poll at https://doodle.com/poll/6srx292nmimxn365

  Prairie Hurricanes on February 19, 2020 10:56 AM

• I have a draft on the 23rd as well.

  Briyce Harangue 🦢 on February 18, 2020 10:05 PM

• Oh, and I have another Ottoneu auction on the 23rd so that's not great for me.

  Old Yellich on February 18, 2020 4:26 PM

• I think we need to fill out a google doc spreadsheet or a doodle.com poll to figure out what dates are the least bad for the group. That's what other leagues I'm in did and it worked well. Any volunteers on setting something like that up (I suck at stuff like that haha)?

  Old Yellich on February 18, 2020 4:25 PM

• The whole week of the 23rd doesn't work for me.

  In Play, Run(s) on February 18, 2020 3:14 PM

• 23rd is fine for me

  Magnets Yo on February 18, 2020 3:08 PM

• Maybe the 23rd then? That's cutting it a little close to the start of season, but should give us time to fill to two open spots before the draft.

  Quad-A Shuttle on February 18, 2020 2:50 PM

• You guys are killing me haha - of course, the 16th is the one Monday when I'll be in Europe.

  Big Bats on February 18, 2020 2:34 PM

• +1 for March 16th

  Quad-A Shuttle on February 18, 2020 2:31 PM

• March 16th works for me too

  In Play, Run(s) on February 18, 2020 2:25 PM

• March 16 works for me too

  Magnets Yo on February 18, 2020 2:24 PM

• March 16 works for me.

  Old Yellich on February 18, 2020 2:22 PM

• Monday, March 16?

  Hobble Kill on February 18, 2020 12:23 PM

• I am good with whatever is good for everyone else.

  Big Papi memories on February 18, 2020 7:49 AM

• Sundays are bad for me.

  Prairie Hurricanes on February 17, 2020 6:25 PM

• Im available Sunday’s and Mondays except for March 8th.

  Average Joe’s on February 17, 2020 11:50 AM

• at the moment im fairly open. prob not march 8 or 9. shouldnt take as long as our first auction
