Oh maybe I'll go Hendricks too, but it would be a Gin and Tonic for me. If not I'll just have a beer.

H20 for me

Draft is tonight at 8pm! My drink of choice tonight will be Hendrick’s martinis - extra, extra dry. Who needs Vermouth ruining a perfectly good 🍸 ? What will everyone else be drinking tonight?
-
I miss spring training! It’s 3 degrees right now where I am, and windy. I need to see spring baseball on TV.
-
Remember, the draft is tomorrow night at 8pm eastern. It’s a late start time on a work/school night, so we will get started right on time. Most of us have been through lots of these so we know the drill. If anybody is doing it for the 1st time and you have questions, please feel free to msg me and I’ll help.
-
Rosters freeze at midnight eastern.
-
Any last minute trade ideas? Rosters freeze again tomorrow night.
-
For the draft, just a reminder to be logged on and ready at 8pm on the 21st. We will kick it off right at 8pm. Nominations are mandatory, so if anybody skips their nomination (without a legitimate reason), we need to end their draft. What we usually do is give a warning if anyone skips their nomination, and if it happens twice we end their draft. Not to be jerks - but drafts take FOREVER when people can skip nominations.
-
That would work for me. Thanks
-
Sounds like we have a plan. I changed the draft date to Monday, 2/21 at 8:00 pm eastern time. I left the “require nominations” option Off, but I think we should agree not to skip nominations. We will get started right at 8pm, so please log on by 8.
-
I can also do 2/21 evening.
-
I could do that as well.

Works for me too
-
That works for me.
-
What about Monday, 2/21 at 8pm? Can everybody do the draft that day? Please let me know. Thanks.
-
Shohei has a conflict on the 27th, and I know FWTBT has a conflict on the 20th. Sundays seem to be out. I know it’s not ideal but can we hold the draft on a Monday night? If we start at 8 or 9 pm, can everybody make that work? There is never going to be a perfect time for all of us, so please work with me on availability.
-
Welcome to the league!

Welcome to Flags Fly Forever, and thanks for claiming the vacant team. We have all 12 teams in good hands, ready for a great season!
-
Just claimed this team. Thanks very much to everyone for agreeing to move the draft.
-
I moved the draft date back a week to 2/27 at 9pm. We will start at 9pm sharp, so don’t be late. The issue to skipping nominations always comes up - my view is skipping nominations is really poor form and it slows things down so much. If something comes up and you accidentally miss a nomination, no problem just let us know. But is everybody in agreement if somebody skips more than 1 nomination (without a great reason), we should consider them done drafting?
-
Late on the 27th is good with me
-
27th is ok for me and having it later in the evening is fine by me as well.

27th at 9pm is good.
-
I can only make the 27th if draft is later, like 9.
-
4 of us are okay with 2/27 so far. If it works for everybody, I have a good, active team owner in another league who is interested in joining us.
-
I would prefer 2/27 as it gives more time between the cut date and the draft

Please let me know ASAP if 2/27 won’t work.
-
A team owner in another league asked me about adopting FWTBT. He is interested but can’t make the draft on 2/20. I could move the draft back a week to 2/27 if the current owners agree. But it’s so hard to find a day that works for everyone, so I dont want to alienate anybody by switching. If 2/27 works for you all, I’ll make the move.
-
I have no idea, but would guess maybe March? I might be the weird one or different than most but nothing going on in the “real” baseball world makes me more engaged in these leagues because it’s about the only baseball related stuff going on. There’s nothing new to watch or read about so this is kinda it right now.

Anybody have a guess on when the MLB and MLBPA will sign a new CBA? I wonder if they miss a big % of the season, fantasy sites like Ottoneu will lose a lot of business. If we get all set for baseball, hold our draft, get our lineups ready, and they don’t play until June, how many people will drop out and not return? I’ll bet Niv is hoping the season starts on time.
-
I think I saw Niv post that for Ottoneu Baseball if a team expires they get an email and still have 10 days to pay or something like that before it's abandoned, for the other Ottoneu sports like football and basketball it just becomes abandoned immediately.

Looks like everybody renewed except FWTBT, whose team has expired
-
I know you love Byron Buxton and are unlikely to move him!

We have 5 teams that still need to renew. I hope everybody returns. If you don’t plan to return, please help us out by letting us know as soon as possible so we have more time to find new owners. Thanks.
-
If you have decided on your Cuts, why not run them by me to see if there is trade value? It’s better than cutting them for nothing.

We had a ton of lake effect snow from our last storm, I think we got 16 inches. It's a winter wonderland in Northshore Chicago.

Interesting, I assumed it was after Byron and was expecting a trade offer soon.

For those wondering about the team name, cool little piece of Iowa Negro League history, nothing to do with Byron Buxton :) - https://who13.com/black-history-month/local-clothing-store-pays-tribute-to-iowa-negro-league-baseball-team-the-buxton-wonders/

Dylan Carlson’s available too. I’m snowed in today, not much to do but enjoy some wonderful Jameson and talk baseball.
-
Does anybody want Gleyber Torres? I’ll once again take whatever the best offer is by the end of the day tomorrow, even if it’s a player I don’t want.
-
I agree, Means will by no means settle for mean performance levels anymore.
SodoMojoDojo on
January 15, 2022 6:39 PM
-
Yes he did. Means will no longer settle for mere no-hitters. Perfect games are now his standard!
-
I would offer Soto for Means but not sure that’d be enough to pry him away, didn’t he throw a no hitter even before they moved the fence back??? 😆

We need some of the owners in this league to join us in “Best Coast League”. It’s an older league, but lost several owners. Since this is the most active and fun league I’m in, I hope some of you will help make Best Coast League better in 2022. Most of the vacant teams need some work, but that’s what makes it fun.
-
Or feel free to offer me something for John Means who will now be a Cy Young candidate I am sure !
-
FYI - The keeper deadline was moved back to February 15th.
-
Anybody want to unload their Orioles hitters now that the fence is being raised and moved back at Camden Yards??
