The start of the season is inching closer and closer. I like all the activity going on in terms of finetuning rosters. Just 10 more days and we can enjoy what is supposed to be a sort of normal baseball (and fantasy) season. Let's cross our fingers that all will work out fine. I am excited!

Training him up in a good way! Glad to have him!

Happy Draft Day Everyone! Just a little heads up that I will have my 6 year old son with me for the first part of the draft (he LOVES baseball and is super excited). I appreciate any attempts to keep the chatter and commentary kid appropriate. Not that that sort of thing is a big issue around here, but wanted to give you all the heads up.
-
4 days left!
-
I'll figure it out, just thought I'd ask. Thanks anyways.

Moving the time up would make it harder for me getting my youngest to bed before the start time and keeping my oldest occupied. Wish I could be more flexible but I strongly prefer 7pm start.

March 6th at 6:00 EST works for me too :)
-
Fine for me.
-
I hate to ask but any possibility we could move it up 1 hour? I hadn’t realized at the time we voted UFC 259 is that night. If we could start just a little earlier I can make both! If not I’ll buy it and draft at the same time, hopefully it won’t overlap too much.

Sorry if I missed the message - is Sat 3/6 at 7 EST the official draft date and time? Thanks!
-
Free cuts are pre-draft. Normal penalty after the draft. Someone can correct me if my memory is wrong. Draft date is official. Should be fun, lots of cash and a good player pool.
-
Sounds good on the draft date and time. On the rule, it's they can be cut for free before the start of the season. Once the season starts you incur the penalty like normal right?

That Saturday or Sunday work well for me too
-
I can do anytime that Saturday after 9:00 AM Pacific as long as we have a couple days notice, whatever works for everyone.

Based on current polling it looks like we will have either Saturday March 7th. Maybe we can bump it up to 7pm EST to get Matt in and keep the time we already have set.
-
Voted in the poll for draft times. I'd also like to request removing the 5am Pacific options (I live in California).
-
I can make it work on a weekday evening if needed. Just please no 5:00 AM!

I voted, prefer Friday evening/Saturday/Sunday, but not the 5:00 AM Pacific window please!

With 8 votes in favor and 4 votes pending, the following rule will be extended for the upcoming season: a player with a season-ending injury (principally Tommy John surgery, but there might be other cases) can be cut for free.

I voted! Thanks for setting this up commish.

Here is the poll for draft dates time. I broke them into 2 hour time slots and put them all in the first two weeks of March. Let me know if anyone has serious objections. https://doodle.com/poll/heb2q6zh4pfektf8#table

Agree
-
I agree with keeping the same policy.
-
I also agree with that policy... keeping the count, we now have 5 owners in favor, with 7 pending.
Mr Baseball on

Agreed

I support the policy as well but the player must be unlikely to return this season due to injury.
-
I would continue to support that policy, if others are okay with it
-
Should be a fun draft coming up - so much talent out there! Question - with so many new owners, are we still doing the same thing where if a player gets a season ending injury like TJ, the Comish allows us to drop that player before the draft? So not that you no longer value that player as highly anymore or he is hurt for 3 months,.. but player’s year is done type of injury. Can we still do that?
-
Trout available..want surplus best offer by Saturday evening. Thanks!

3 days remaining for the keeper deadline! Last warning!

Nice trade and name change
-
Zoom sounds like a fun addition. We did in person and then folks could call in one year. I was a call in and it was nice.
-
I'll probably decline the zoom. I spend a lot of time on zoom and I'd also have to add poker face to my draft strategy!

Yeah I'd be down for Zoom too! Good idea "Hand-Smith and Grandal!" I think I'd probably say hello on video and then go audio only like "Player to be named."
-
I would down for a Zoom even if its just audio.
-
Not sure about Zoom, we'll see when it gets closer. I'm in Southern California and sort of immunocompromised, so we've only been seeing people by Zoom since March 13, 2020. All Zoomed out!!

Great idea! I’m a new owner and down for a zoom.
-
Maybe during this year's draft we could do a Zoom call to put faces/names to teams? There's been some turnover since the original league in 2012, and it'd be nice to know who all is in the league. If people are Zoomed out and think it's a terrible idea, no offense taken, just thought I'd throw it out there!
-
I'm not upset in anyway! I had the luxury of the former commish being my cousin, so he knew to not use gender specific language when addressing all of us. That's all. PLEASE continue to treat me like any other GM! Fun fact, there was a season a few years ago where there were 2! females in the league. lol. Game on y'all!

In this case, my sincerest apologies to Front Wheel! Another lesson in Gender equality, I am really sorry. I had no business assuming that everyone would be a man.

Just renewed... this league is one of the best $20 I've ever spent (in terms of enjoyment time vs. cost). Also I didn't realize that "Front Wheel" was a girl. I apologize... I think I referred to you as "man" in almost every one of our trade talks! Lesson learned for me. :)
-
Btw, this has been a co-ed league since the end of the 2012 season. :)

Also, please check if your team is up for renewal. Mine was, I just went ahead and paid for the upcoming season. It is promising to be another exciting season. The teams are in good shape so that with a stellar draft they will be competitive. If I am not mistaken we had 4 different winners in 4 years. That bodes well!!

Gentlemen, 10 days left until the keeper deadline. Please review your rosters. I think most of us have already cut players, but it is time for those last-minute decisions on the likes of Joey Votto and Randal Grichuk (both cuts apparently).

Just moved the draft date to March 6 as a placeholder so nothing weird happens come Feb 1st. Will team up with Mr. Baseball to circulate a poll post cut deadline.
