• Did we settle on a time for the draft with Wildman's preference for later on the 8th?

  The WAR of 18.12 on February 1, 2020 11:52 AM

• And don’t be afraid to start bids at a reasonable salary, and raise bids by $5 or more for the top players. You aren’t getting Kershaw for $3.

  Pavin Meadows on February 1, 2020 11:44 AM

• Let’s hope not. If people come prepared, we should get through it. Please have a half dozen guys or so in your queue at all times, and be ready to nominate immediately when it’s your turn.

  Pavin Meadows on February 1, 2020 11:43 AM

• Oh man is there some money out there. Maybe the Auction should be a 2-day event.

  Schwell's Bells on January 31, 2020 11:26 PM

• Final reminder—make your cuts today.

  Pavin Meadows on January 31, 2020 8:41 AM

• One man's trash is another man's gold.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 30, 2020 11:39 AM

• Ah, that time of year when you watch everyone cut the players who you didn't try to trade for because you figured they were unobtainable...

  Lowe Expectations on January 30, 2020 7:43 AM

• Just updated my trade block... highlights include Greinke, Goldy, and some strong RP options. Anyone listed will be priced to move! Interested in speculative starting pitching, overpriced aces, and lottery pick prospects.

  Mount Rose Muskies on January 29, 2020 2:20 PM

• I can package some players together for a higher-priced guy. Lots of prospects available.

  The Lōgunate on January 28, 2020 11:24 PM

• I've got baseball that day, but later in the evening/night would be fine with me.

  The Lōgunate on January 28, 2020 11:20 PM

• Works for me too.

  The WAR of 18.12 on January 28, 2020 10:27 AM

• Works

  Framber Comes Alive on January 28, 2020 7:53 AM

• that works for me too

  Kas House Gang on January 27, 2020 11:39 AM

• Works for me too.

  Philly Special on January 27, 2020 11:31 AM

• works for me Thanks Chuck

  4 Baggers on January 27, 2020 11:29 AM

• Fine with me.

  Schwell's Bells on January 27, 2020 11:27 AM

• thanks for the replies. if Sunday, March 8 at 5 pm eastern DOESN'T work for you, please post a response to the league no later than keeper deadline, this Friday, Jan 31. and if the time doesn't work for you, please indicate what times on March 7 & 8 would work as an alternative. i'm sure you all know this, but the draft will likely last between 2 to 3 hours.

  Pavin Meadows on January 27, 2020 11:19 AM

• That should be good

  Harmon's Killer Brew on January 27, 2020 8:49 AM

• March 8 5pm eastern works for me

  Blind Squirrels on January 27, 2020 8:42 AM

• based on the responses, it looks like March 7 and 8 should work. how about Sunday March 8 at 5 pm eastern?

  Pavin Meadows on January 27, 2020 8:39 AM

• Ok, let’s go back to the web form I circulated—everyone please fill it out w your availability.

  Pavin Meadows on January 23, 2020 8:08 PM

• I said I could be flexible any time but I thought last yr's Super bowl (early Feb) draft was a one off. I'm out of town and unavailable SB weekend. Like HKB, I prefer March.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 23, 2020 9:38 AM

• I do prefer waiting until at least early March, but that's fine.

  Harmon's Killer Brew on January 23, 2020 8:53 AM

• That’s fine w me. How abt everyone else?

  Pavin Meadows on January 23, 2020 8:31 AM

• Maybe we should just have it on Super Bowl Sunday every year. At least people will be able to plan around it.

  Schwell's Bells on January 22, 2020 10:11 PM

• We’ll figure out the time once we have a few dates.

  Pavin Meadows on January 22, 2020 8:40 PM

• What is the assumed time for these dates?

  Lowe Expectations on January 22, 2020 8:11 PM

• http://whenisgood.net/cgw5bed

  Pavin Meadows on January 22, 2020 3:52 PM

• Please use this form to indicate your availability for the draft. Please be aware that it’s a challenge to schedule this unless every owner is willing to be as flexible as possible. Thanks.

  Pavin Meadows on January 22, 2020 3:52 PM

• News: Cubs sign Hultzen to minor lg deal. As a still quasi-Mariners fan I like to play Jeopardy with ex-players. Answer: Danny Hultzen. Who is the guy the M's chose over Trevor Bauer, Anthony Rendon and Franciso Lindor? Maybe as bad as picking Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 22, 2020 9:10 AM

• I can make almost any date work.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 22, 2020 9:07 AM

• Two drafts March 28 and March 29 Thanks Chuck

  4 Baggers on January 22, 2020 12:12 AM

• March Madness weekend. Ill be in Vegas and unavailable that Wednesday-Sunday

  Blind Squirrels on January 21, 2020 9:48 PM

• That should work for me.

  Harmon's Killer Brew on January 21, 2020 9:45 PM

• Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this. I set Sunday March 22 at 3 pm et as a placeholder. Does that work for everyone? If not, I’ll circulate a doodle.

  Pavin Meadows on January 21, 2020 7:20 PM

• So when we are doing the auction?

  Schwell's Bells on January 21, 2020 3:39 PM

• The power of suggestion was strong on that last board conversation. Talk about multiple Twins pitchers leading to a trade of a Twins pitcher.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 19, 2020 5:29 PM

• Blyleven was a beast in R.B.I. Baseball on the NES so was therefore never underrated by any metric that matters

  Lowe Expectations on January 16, 2020 5:02 PM

• In the first baseball game I ever attended, at 10 years old, Blyleven started and threw his third one-hitter with the Twins. Appropriately for his early career, he was down 1-0 after the top of the ninth, but the Twins rallied and won. He'd already been my favorite player at that point, but that sealed it. Needless to say, I could go on. But I've retained that soft spot; it's maybe the only one I've ever had.

  Schwell's Bells on January 16, 2020 3:05 PM

• thought frank viola was overrated.

  Pavin Meadows on January 16, 2020 3:02 PM

• i really enjoyed watching him pitch--thought he was very underrated.

  Pavin Meadows on January 16, 2020 3:01 PM

• Oh shite, today's Posnanski top 100 is Blyleven. I'll read it tonight while I'm waiting for the snow.

  Schwell's Bells on January 16, 2020 2:54 PM

• Still a couple weeks to go, but I just wanted to remind everyone to make their cuts by Jan 31. After that date, you'll be assessed the cap penalty for any subsequent cuts.

  Pavin Meadows on January 16, 2020 10:12 AM

• By bWAR, Mussina almost cracks top-50 players after 1900, and he (seemingly clean) pitched in the steroid era. I get it.

  Lowe Expectations on January 15, 2020 2:48 PM

• I still have trouble reading Pos post Joe Paterno, but I have looked at a couple of those. The one on Sadaharu Oh is fascinating.

  Schwell's Bells on January 15, 2020 2:47 PM

• If you have The Athletic, a wonderful series by Joe Posnanski on his 100 greatest players in history -- a new player everyday leading up to the season opener. Some interesting choices (Mike Mussina) and some players I've never heard of (Bullet Rogan). Haven't read them all yet, but it's entertaining.

  Harmon's Killer Brew on January 15, 2020 9:40 AM

• Well, that was certainly a surprise! Josh Donaldson is a Twinkie -- didn't expect that to happen, honestly. They still need to trade for a starter at some point, but I'm liking where it's at right now.

  Harmon's Killer Brew on January 15, 2020 9:32 AM

• And yeah, the rumors are just rumors. This one probably isn't going anywhere as St Louis has never had an Arenado-like contract on their books.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 14, 2020 3:14 PM

• Of course, maybe Jack Flaherty is also in the trade so it might be a Lord giveth and taketh away situation.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 14, 2020 2:11 PM

• Damn, the hits just keep rolling for our resident champion. Astudillo Nights scooped Edman at the end of the season who will probably have a full time role in the Rockies infield should the Arenado trade happen. His name hasn't surfaced in the rumors yet but I'll bet anyone $1 that he'd be heading to Colorado.
