We could always push it to 9:30 but I'm not sure our league mates on the East Coast would want to start so late...

Works for me
-
A little tight for me on the west coast but if best for everyone else, good for me too.
-
I can make March 10 in the evening work. 9 est is fine with me.

3/10 at 9 PM EST works for me.

I'll second Yasmani's March 10th suggestion. I know we're spread out on time zones, so how about 9pm EST? That's 8/7/6 across the rest of the time zones and should still give you West Coasters enough time to get ready.

Not to belabor the point too much here but I think it would be good to come to some consensus and set the draft date this weekend if at all possible. I know my calendar is starting to fill up and I'm certain everyone else's is as well. The more notice the better here considering there's no auto draft function.
-
Sorry DD, That wasn't showing up when I said the 11th. It'll be a much shorter draft this year too. We could do a Thursday afternoon just so no one take too big of a hit on their schedule?
-
Based on the calendar, it looks like at least one person has a conflict every weekend day. How about Friday evening (EST) on March 10?
-
I put on the calendar I can't draft on that date but I can if it's later. I'm running a camp that morning (eastern time)

That works for me. Can we shoot for the early afternoon PST? I have a commitment that evening that I can't move.
-
I'm going to throw out there that Saturday, March 11th looks like the best bet so far. The sooner we have a consensuses the better.

This one should work. Everyone mark your own - I just did mine as an "all day" event.

I second the recommendation to do some type of shared calendar to pick a date for the auction. The other league I am in did it with Google Docs. As far as actual dates, the only weekend I definitely cant do is March 3-5. That is my anniversary and I might need an attorney if I bail on it for a fantasy baseball draft.
-
Might be best to set up one of those shared doodle calendars where everyone can mark their availability. March 12th, 18-20 are no good for me.
-
I'm assuming weekend is going to be easiest. What about March 11?
If we wanted to do *super* early, I could February 18th or 19th. I can't do the weekend of Feb. 25-26.
-
I can't do March 4th, 5th, 18th or 19th. Any other time is fine.
-
Yeah I usually prefer later drafts, but I need a distraction these days. Earlier the better IMO.
-
I'm all in favor of an early to mid March draft. I just need the date set sooner rather than later so I can make sure I'm off work that day (I'm in retail management).

Why thank you. Figured that'd be a nice exclamation point to an active keeper deadline.

Also Nuke LaLoosh -- great job with the suspenseful cutting of Bryce Harper at 11:52 PM. Loved it.
-
Bremelos -- the season starts April 2 but I think we did the draft on the early side last year, mid-March or so, didn't we? I'm OK with doing that again, especially since we can't resume trading until we have the draft.
-
So, is it too soon to discuss setting the draft date?

Also, if you plan to do a trade and cut, it's likely too late for that since by the time the trade processes it'll be post-deadline.

Question -- has Louisville Huggers been assigned a new owner as well?
-
Nuke LaLoosh -- FYI, in response to your note, I noticed that the rules say: "After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players." So it appears that is a dead zone. If you want to make a trade before the draft, it has to be today or tomorrow!

Nuke... Call me Nuke.
Here to announce my presence with authority. Although I might be Meat by the All-Star break.
I haven't had much chance to assess my team so I don't plan on making any deals before the deadline. If you want to talk after Tuesday though, I'm all ears.
Let's have a good season everyone.

Last call on trades before the deadline! If you're looking to compete this year and are interested in a reasonably priced J.D. Martinez, Cespedes, or Lester, let me know. The draft is shaping up to be pretty thin at SP so might be a good opportunity to buy a surplus value Lester. I want to free up a little cap space while adding some MLB-ready players at 3B, MI, and/or OF. I won't be cutting any of those three if there aren't any takers.

I think Nuke was assigned to my friend, he just hasn't received the correspondence yet. Not sure what the issue is hopefully it gets resolved soon.
-
I'm here, getting the lay of the land and figuring out the rules and all. Thanks for letting me join y'all; glad to be a part of the league.

Nuke LaLoosh looks like it needs an owner assigned. Otherwise are we all good to go?
-
Just spoke with DD. My friend created a Fangraphs log in and DD assigned him a team! DD's on top of it.
-
I know my friend received a communication from DD, so I'm hoping he can make the switch today. Not sure exactly what it entails...
-
Diamond Dogs -- have you turned the keys over to the new owners yet? It seems critical to get that done today, so they have the weekend to review their teams and make trade offers and cuts before the Tuesday deadline .
-
Are we going to be able to make some changes today? Feels like we're getting to the point where time is at a premium.
-
I am here by the way. I'm in.
-
Looking to shed a little salary in J.D. Martinez, Cespedes, or Lester. Looking for help at OF and/or 3B but open to anything that makes sense. Message me know if you're looking to add a bopper or high end starter.
-

I agree with Yasmani as well
-
Fine by me.

Blind Squirrels -- I'm not sure an additional message and delay period are necessary. There have been tons of messages posted here about inactive owners and the new season (which all get sent to owner gmail accounts too). If someone hasn't responded by now, I think it is safe to assume they have moved on.
-
I might not completely understand what has happened to date so I apologize if I am behind. Has there been no interaction with these 4 owners? If not, my suggestion would be to send them a message giving them 24 hours to either confirm they are playing and pay their money or forfeit their teams. If you have already reached out to them and they haven't responded then I think you are justified in giving the teams to others. Either way I am in and ready for some baseball!
