• Got to love a manager that his lineup in first thing in the morning (Oliver Marmol, Cardinals).

• The Baseball Prospectus updates its Pecota prospective standings every day:
  https://www.baseballprospectus.com/standings/
  
  Just spit-balling here, my thoughts are:
  Toronto-11 games and allocate 7 to Boston and 4 to TB
  Cleveland -4, Minnesota -2, Detroit +6, CWS -7
  Houston -3, LAA +2, Ath +3
  Cubs -4, Milw -2, Pitt +4, StL -2, Cin +10
  LAD -3, SD -3, SF +5
  NYM -5, Wash +5
  
  Subject to change, like I said just spit-balling

• Strider proved you can be an elite starter with only 2 pitches if those 2 pitches are good enough. I do think Sasaki will continue to develop the Slider and throw it more over time though.

  Flying Squirrels on March 20, 2025 4:58 PM

• Sasaki same thing high effort, and only secondary pitch is a splitter. I get concerned when a pitcher grunts after a pitch. Sasaki needs to come up with a slider/sweeper or cutter or he is going to get pounded this year.

• You would think Friedman has evidence he was durable with the 12 year player opt out only contract. But at the same time, Dodgers have been spending like the future doesn't matter. I wonder if the plan is to sell the team soon and let someone else hold the bag in 2030

  Chicago Beanes on March 18, 2025 9:12 AM

• Watching Yamamoto pitch, no way he makes it over the next two years without a major arm injury. Too many splitters, and too much effort.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 18, 2025 7:41 AM

• Thanks WC!

  Slobberpuss on February 25, 2025 12:42 PM

• Ok, fixed. I hate the phrasing of : Use Auction Draft For This Season (2025) {x}
  
  For declaring that the Auction Draft is finished.

  Winnetka Cubs on February 25, 2025 11:29 AM

• You can see them there but you still can't bid on them or change bids right now.

  Flying Squirrels on February 25, 2025 9:30 AM

• Ah, gotcha! Thanks Slobbers! Don't they normally show up on the front page for the league, or am I just misremembering that?

  Bazton Stranglers on February 25, 2025 9:28 AM

• If you click on auctions (not auction draft) there are several auctions showing currently.

  Slobberpuss on February 25, 2025 9:15 AM

• yep, just adding that I also started an auction last night w no issues and now it's disappeared

  Bazton Stranglers on February 25, 2025 9:08 AM

• Use Auction Draft For This Season (2025) {x}
  
  Uncheck this box if you do not want to use Ottoneu's auction draft page for your auction draft. This will block teams from leaving this league and cannot be undone.
  
  The section above under League Settings is the only possibility where I would uncheck that box, but that doesn't make much sense to me, and what if unchecking that box deletes the auction draft?
  
  Why can't I remember how to do this? Anyone else a comm

  Winnetka Cubs on February 25, 2025 7:30 AM

• Hmm I don't think its your fault. I think something odd is happening because I successfully started an auction last night after we finished and now it's gone.

  Flying Squirrels on February 25, 2025 7:26 AM

• I feel like an idiot but I can't find the button or check box that officially ends the auction draft even though each owner has individually clicked they are done with the draft. I've gone to Commish Tools/League Settings and looked through it carefully on two different computers that have different browsers and can't seem to figure it out.

  Winnetka Cubs on February 25, 2025 7:24 AM

• Can't put players up for regular auction?

  Slobberpuss on February 25, 2025 5:03 AM

• ok let's draft.

  Bazton Stranglers on February 24, 2025 7:57 PM

• Hope Springs mentioned to me he will be late to the draft or miss it altogether. I suggested I could leave the draft open for him and he could make his picks when he got in. It would be only to 11pm cst, but I did say I would check with all of you first. So if you have any problem with it let me know either here or direct message me privately.

  Winnetka Cubs on February 23, 2025 8:58 AM

• you are right, i’ll fix it.

  Winnetka Cubs on February 22, 2025 8:08 AM

• Checking on the time zone since the site says 7pm ET and the message board says 7pm CST. Which one have we decided upon. Thank you.

  Hope Springs External on February 21, 2025 9:38 PM

• 2/24 7PM CST works for me as well

  Slobberpuss on February 4, 2025 3:49 PM

• Works for me

  Dial Ⓜ️ for Maeda on January 27, 2025 5:29 PM

• Should work for me

  Michigan Disassociated Persons on January 20, 2025 10:37 PM

• Last call for Jose Ramirez if anyone wants to send offers. One of my favorite players and probably cheaper than will go at auction, but the Stranglers are just too expensive and may need to make a cut.

  Bazton Stranglers on January 20, 2025 9:18 AM

• Works for me as well

  SodoMojoDojo on January 19, 2025 11:35 AM

  Chicago Beanes on January 19, 2025 10:39 AM

• How about Monday, February 24th 7pm cst?

  Winnetka Cubs on January 19, 2025 10:33 AM

• I can't do the 23rd, I'm traveling for work that day.

  Flying Squirrels on January 17, 2025 12:43 PM

• 23rd in the evening works for me

  Lowertown Landing on January 17, 2025 11:59 AM

• Evening of Feb 23rd works for me too

  SodoMojoDojo on January 17, 2025 10:55 AM

• As long as it’s in the evening it works for me

  Bazton Stranglers on January 17, 2025 10:43 AM

• How does the 23rd of February sound?

  Winnetka Cubs on January 17, 2025 8:01 AM

• Any chance we could move it to the following Sunday? I will traveling for work that weekend

  Lowertown Landing on January 16, 2025 9:35 PM

• Same!

  Chicago Beanes on January 16, 2025 12:54 PM

• Works for me.

  SodoMojoDojo on January 16, 2025 12:36 PM

• Works for me

  Flying Squirrels on January 16, 2025 11:55 AM

• I can do that.

  Region Rats on January 16, 2025 11:54 AM

• Works for me

  Bazton Stranglers on January 16, 2025 11:53 AM

• I don't need much in the auction, so I can go along with whatever works for everybody else.

  Slobberpuss on January 16, 2025 10:59 AM

• How about February 16th 7pm cst?

  Winnetka Cubs on January 16, 2025 10:13 AM

• Those are great times for me as well

  Lowertown Landing on January 12, 2025 11:17 AM

• Same! Sunday or Monday night would be great

  Chicago Beanes on January 12, 2025 10:48 AM

• Sunday/Monday 7pm Central or later should work for me.

  Michigan Disassociated Persons on January 12, 2025 10:45 AM

• I’m good for any Sun/Mon between now and end of Feb except Feb 9

  Bazton Stranglers on January 8, 2025 8:29 PM

• Only late Feb dates that don't work for me are the 22nd and 28th, so a Sunday or Monday night works well here.

  SodoMojoDojo on January 8, 2025 1:00 PM

• Either one works for me, would just need either a Sunday night or Monday night.

  Region Rats on January 8, 2025 12:57 PM

• Late February would be better for me.

  Flying Squirrels on January 8, 2025 12:53 PM

• Any thoughts on setting up an auction date? I've received one response so far for early February or late February.

  Winnetka Cubs on January 8, 2025 12:48 PM

• Yeah I am getting really excited about that Boston rotation. Garret Crochet and Walker Buehler make a huge difference. They, for the first time in a while, actually run 5 deep (Crochet, Buehler, Crawford, Houck, Bello) as well as having Giolito and Whitlock in waiting and Patrick Sandoval by the end of the year.
