Anyway, barring some kind of unforeseen event, Trout's team will become available tomorrow. I have done all I can think of to to keep him in this league, and he has a talented team. If you have a buddy who wants to play Otto, this could be the team for him. Or not. It might be better for his soul to take on a rebuild project. Who inherits the Yankees?
Whatever, I am through with asking him to hang in.
If you know someone, have him or her check us out!

In another vein, I will have to give Trout a lethal injection. Feb 16 he said he couldn't make the draft so I should find another team. I replied, you got 32 very good players ... you can pick up 3 or 4 on your cell phone in our draft. He was not interested. March 27 "Why do I still have access to this team?" "You must tell me your team is abandoned." March 28, same message. March 31: are you in or out? April 8 I will mark your team Abandoned.
If you gotta bud ... T

C'mon Smelly, we know you are happy to stick the bat up any or all of our asses: that's the leitmotif posted on your trade board. I think it's fair to say, we should know what you think we are getting when we do a deal with Uncle Smelly. Ooh, that might give you pause when one of us accepts one of your offers.
But don't be a stranger, Smelly!

Carl, that is some good shit. I actually did LOL. To you and all you guys. I am always looking to take advantage of you.

"Aggressive and vulnerable" ... that may be the best lure for trade-making ever I have seen. Can you get that guy Devers for me, A&V? I would pay well.

If it gives you all some insight, I'm a 50 year old teacher, stuck at home in front of a computer. I'm aggressive and vulnerable. A good team manager would most definitely take advantage of my situation. I can be had. Help ME Help YOU.

Stark's a good guy. I am a better judge of character than the president - don't ask me how, that's something my gut tells me -- and Stark is a good guy. His e-mail starts with Carl. Clyde was the consort and ambush decedent along with Bonnie in Gibsland, LA sometime in the 30's. They got what they were bound to get, sooner or later. But Carl, while he wants to turn over his team, does so honestly.
If you can take advantage of Stark's team transformation, you should happily do so.

Welcome aboard Carl. Hopefully we can get baseball back soon. In the meantime I am open to trades. Thanks for the offers you already sent and check out the one I offered you.

It is hard for me to put anyone who has paid money to play this season on the Abandoned List unless they wish it. Yes, after the keeper deadline both had too many players signed for too much money. I doubt you know this but I have e mailed them more than once offering free drops (before the draft). I shall do so once again, and a few days later I must mark those teams as abandoned. I hate to do it, but you are absolutely correct, Sir Smelly.
So let it be written. So let it be done.

LOL, Have you put the Ballers & Dragons teams up for new ownership? May as well try getting them filled now so they have time to make deals if they choose to.

Due to poor auction strategy I had way too much money left over. So when I saw Adell being auctioned that spending money was burning a hole in my pocket.

And hey, I'm old but far from wise, but I sense that you don't like being called Smelly. Would Smellerino do as a substitute? (I tend to give nicknames to people I like.) Please advise.

Smelly, upside of a lackluster rookie year is his value goes up by only $2. He would still be priced at $21 yet have a couple more years to grow into a star. I am there with Kepler: The Astronomer is getting pricey way too soon. But I had limited talent on my team when I drafted him, and got lucky with a few other cheaper draft picks. Your president says, "That's the story of life." I'm in my 6th year of living in this league; the first 4 were educational, and painful. So hang i

Magic, You mention Southside is growing through prospects but Adell is the best of his bunch and as you also said he could have a really good season hitting around Trout. That being said it could really drive the cost of Adell up a great deal this offseason. I wouldn't be surprised to see Adell reach that $27 plateau for 2021. Heck, I could see him being mediocre also and only hitting his max $21 for 2021. Just one of the many interesting scenarios the baseball season will bring.
-
I put it at 3:1 against Adell becoming a FA this year or this off season. Southie is growing a team through prospects, and while Adell has not hit more than 20 bombs in any MiLB season, he is expected to grow into 30 HR power with beaucoup SB (no, they don't count here). He will score plenty of runs, and having Mike Trout batting behind him can't hurt. If he makes The Show in 2020 he will cost just $21 next year, and maybe $27 in 2022 ... cheap for a star - so he can grab 'em by the "ca

$19 for Adell...hot damn! Odds he is back in FA pool next offseason?

The one for one trade now open is the one Alt Stats offered me. I kept it open countering w Puig and Pressly plus $4, but I inadvertently checked Pressly, Gallegos, and $4. Alt Stats has cheerfully let me out of my mistake, and I'm here to tell you he's a stand up guy. Thus I cancelled the mistaken deal and reoffered him his choice.
If something like this happens to you, and your trade partner does not object, I will cancel your bad deal as well.

4:30 at least allows me to watch the draft. Thank you.

OK. A few of us are on record in favor of drafting tomorrow a bit later, 4:30 EDST. One wants to go days later. We will learn nothing new by deferring our draft for a few weeks. IT IS ON TOMORROW. The time tomorrow is 4:30 Eastern.

-
This new time should accomodate M&M, Southie, and Knox. And if more of you speak up SOON I can change it again given enough votes.
Long and short: a quick warm up camp with a few games won't add much info to our choices. Drafting now opens up trades, cuts, and FA acquisitions. If you disagree, speak now. Otherwise, we draft tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. EDST.

Whatever you guys decide is fine with me since I only have $3 left and won’t be at the auction.

As long as thre draft is a Sat or earlier on a Sunday I'll be finn free if its during the week I won't be there much if at all. But if delayed or not I think I would prefer to just draft this weekend and get it done with in case anything crazy happens but if not I will adjust

I don't care what the league decides. I can't participate anyway. It would be nice if it was set to a time I can watch the bidding but it doesn't really matter.

rather it be delayed myself

Drafting later on the 14th or rescheduling would be ideal for me. But if we need to keep the same date and time I've already made arrangements.

A new Commissioner's Note is out there. Not enough characters for it here. Find it. Read it. Let me know what you think and soon. We draft Saturday, midday. We could delay it a bit but what would it change, and I gotta hear from you NOW.

Southie, every draft has a team or two that prefers another draft date. So each November I reserve a midday CST time on a weekend two Mondays before Opening Day. This has been our regular draft slot for 4-5 years. Setting a draft time way ahead gives all a chance to adjust schedules. (See Settings.)
Smelly, you fell asleep on Cut Night, kept 40 guys, and messaged me that 'It's ok; I'll add FA's when needed.'
Next year we'll discuss it in November. For now this seems workable & fa
