Going through the community message boards, Niv says this, “The auction draft can start whenever you want - you can definitely wait until after March 20th. Any games that happen before your auction draft is marked as done will not count towards final standings.”

How can I prove I was going to sit / start a player? For example, I had no control over my lineups and Marco Gonzales happened to be in a SP slot and had a horrible game...

I can manually add the points as necessary after the season officially starts
-
One last point - I am not sure how Ottoneu is going to handle stats for the games that already happened, but if you don't get stats automatically, then I propose that you get points for the hitters and relief pitchers if you start them in each of their next two games, and you get points for the starting pitchers if you start them in their next outing. Not sure how else to attribute the points in a daily lineup league.
-
Reminder that the draft is TONIGHT at 10PM EST. I am waking up at a ridiculous hour to participate in this draft - the draft is starting at 10:01 AT THE LATEST - DO NOT BE LATE - we will not wait for you. Looking forward to it!!

Thanks commish. Yes. Please cut Perez from my team.

Gator - I know it has been awhile since it was invoked but this league does allow for free cuts of anyone who goes on 60 day DL between keep date and start of season - let me know if you want to keep Perez on your team or not.

Terrible start but usual one. Get well soon Perez!

Those of you who didn't know, like myself before the trip, it's very hard to sail with the wind directly at your back, unlike in the days of yore. We had very little wind so if we were indeed out of gas completely or the motor was broken we would have had to sail to a completely different destination and/or been hauled in by the coast guard if that didn't work, because it was pitch black and rain storms were closing in. A very interesting, mostly relaxing trip, but it's a little nerve wracking.
-
Now our course had to be changed and sails had to be let out so we weren't just drifting helplessly in the Atlantic. We were making very little headway and the captain(the only one of us who knew how to sail) was trying to figure out why the engine went out. After about 10 minutes my wife said "Do you think we ran out of gas?", to which he replied "Hm, you might be onto something". He checked and we did....fortunately it was only 1 tank, the other was full. He switched tanks

My wife, her old boss and I motored on a sailboat from West Palm, FL to Grand Bahamas island (54 miles, no wind to sail) on the morning of the 2nd, making it there just in time for the Super Bowl. We sailed part way to Freeport and had a great relaxing then headed back 6:30 Thursday night for a 12 hour overnight sailing trip. We sailed for the first 3-4 hours before we had to motor again. We got about 20 miles from FL and our motor cut out(!). The captain was alerted, to which he replied "H

Hello fellow LNGH managers! Thank you for the sentiments about me being back, I am indeed glad to be back competing with you all! I sincerely apologize for being OOO for the past several weeks. I was not trying to "game the system". I completely forgot about the cuts before going on a sailing trip then had some stress at the end of the trip which made me forget cuts on the 9th. I'm currently going through the penalty process as we speak. The next message will describe the stress of m

I gave SPH one free cut (Dozier), and now he is subject to the official fangraph rule where he can drop anyone he wants but they count as a cap penalty until they are nominated in the draft
-
The draft date is set for March 22 at 10PM eastern. I don't know why it doesn't show up on the heading
-
Good question GS. Are we on for 3/21 or 3/22? Right now I can do either, but it would be ideal to lock down a date/time before other commitments start popping up for all of us
-
So did we decide on draft day and time? I joined after you polled for a date/time. ... Ready to get started!

Felix - I think it would be at 2pm your time on Friday. The only other day that had 7 people agree was the 22nd at the same time. If Musial is alright with it we can do it then.

I'm not one to get annoyed... however March 21 was not even on the doodle, and would be a Friday morning for me... can we not really find a date on that vote that works?

I definitely would like to do the draft before the season starts on the 20th. I am fine with Monday-Sunday at this point. Just don't want to push the draft till right before or even after the season has already started. But March 21 at 10 would work for me. Welcome Ben!

Re: SPH, I propose that we allow him 1 free cut and then the Niv rule applies. I don't want to penalize anyone too harshly, but I do think we have to do something as this was nearly 2 weeks after the cut deadline and cuts could have been made on Jan 30. He is only 15 over the cap so this will not be a particularly large penalty.
-
Rest of league - we need to nail down a draft date. Musial, I appreciate your flexibiltiy but hate having to have people miss the draft. Did anyone have objections to my Thursday night EST suggestion? I presume everyone is available on a weeknight and if we put the time correctly we can make sure nobody is at work? My proposal would be for March 21 at 10PM EST. If there is someone that does not work for, let me know
-
Welcome Ben. I presume you are some sort of a mathematician with that team name! Significantly more sophisticated than the last joker taking that spot. Happy to give you until Sunday to do cuts.

Easy, SPH just has to give that Vlad Betts duo to the whoever it was that happened to finish lowest in the standings last year

Ben from Nebraska, claiming and renaming--new team is Gaussian Spitball. My lineup has some work to do, but looking forward to getting acclimated to the league. Thanks for postponing draft for me--I'm good for 3/22 if that's a "go." Hope to have cuts done by this Sunday. GL all!

Of course my wife is going to kill me now if we draft Friday after I committed to going to a party with her

Hey Coco - Not sure if you noticed, but I previously posted Zod's team on the community site to help recruit a new manager. Somebody just responded willing to take over and is available to draft Friday. I saw your post this morning that you found somebody as well. Just let me know which way you prefer to go!

Missing cut deadline penalty in the future I think should be taking away the highest salary guys until they get under cap, then maybe a round allowing the owner to make further cuts? For this year, should we just cut everyone from sph trade block?

If need be I can find a proxy for me on 3/22.

Another update: found a replacement owner, but he cannot draft on Friday. So we have to find another draft date. According to the doodle poll, there are a few days where we have all but 1 person able to make it (times in EST) - Mar 3 and Mar 17 afternoon / Felix, Mar 22 evening Musial. If any of you think that that time could work, let me know. Otherwise we will explore Thursday night options

Welcome back SPH. Thought for sure we lost you.

Also as a heads up, if we are going to do the draft on Friday, everyone needs to have renewed by that date or you cannot draft.
