Agreed with the previous statements. My friend is also itching to go with this. And really who can blame him. An opportunity to think about baseball in the middle of winter. Doesn't get much better than that.
-
I agree with Yasmani -- I know my buddy is chomping at the bit to get started!
-
Commish -- have you had four people reach out to you to fill spots 9-12? If so, I'd vote for making the switches today or tomorrow at latest so they have a few days to mull their roster options.
-
8 teams look to be in for sure (Gharrity'd Winners, Scroated Blotum, Blind Squirrels, Pine Tar Warriors, The Bremelos, Yasmani, Diamond Dogs, and I'm Keith Hernandez)
-
Keith Hernandez had Scrotaed Blotum and Pine Tar Warriors listed as active as well.
-
OK it looks like these guys have been active in off-season: Keith Hernandez, Bremelos, Gharrity'd, Yasmani and Squirrels. Is anyone else coming back that just hasn't gotten around to making moves?

Diamond, I've also got a friend who wants one of the teams. I sent you his email this afternoon. Hopefully we can fill the league in short order!
-
Thanks, Commish! I emailed you my friend's info -- let me know if there's anything else you need!
-
Justice (and Loggerneu) are served. No worries at all, DD. Reality takes precedence over fantasy - a fairly uncontroversial rule, I think we can all agree on. Thanks!
-
If you know of people who are interested of stopping in, email me at allen.telgenhof@me.com

Guys, I'm sorry I went incommunicado on you there. I have a ton going on, not the least of which was a murder trial took two weeks. Still no excuse. I am here and ready to roll.
-
So I reached out to help@ to see what our options are. I'll let you guys know what I hear back.
-
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Yasmani, but I have a little much on my plate at the moment and while commishing a fantasy league is hardly a lot of work by itself, I'd hate for it to be the straw that broke my back. Apparently, I self-identify as a camel.. If DD wanted to pass it on, would someone else take it?
-
Not to stage a coup here, but DD -- would you like to pass the baton of Commish along to someone else? I'd vote for Keith Hernandez, if he's up for it. I'd prefer not to do it myself but will if no one else wants it. We should cut the inactive owners in the next day or two and get new people into the mix.
-
DM'd him yesterday but no response.
-
Looks like we're a week away from the deadline to cut players. Are we ready to start opening up teams DD?
-

-
Scroated Blotum's trade block has been updated!
-
I might as well. If he's down he'd be very active. Will let you know.
Commish, any thoughts?
-
I also have a buddy who would play and be an active owner.
-
Gharrity'd Winners's trade block has been updated!
-
I've got a buddy who might be interested as well if we need more warm bodies.
-
I agree we should move sooner instead of later to replace owners. Do we think the number is 4? I am going to reach out to my brother and another friend about taking over teams. One of the guys almost took a team in the league last year so I might be able to get him. He is a really good fantasy player too.
-
I also echo Keith H. DD (aka Commish) what are your thoughts?
-

I echo Mr. Hernandez's feelings on the matter.
-
Fair point on the timeline. I always hate kicking people out of leagues if it can be avoided but if the commish and (most) everyone else is on board, I'm OK with opening up spots in the league this weekend to give us the necessary time to find replacements.
-
Scroated Blotum's trade block has been updated!
-
I am in for 2017 season.
-
Messaged him today about trades and who he's planning in keeping. Sounds like he's in
-
I don't think Scroated Blotum has been active since he left the draft last year but I could be wrong about that. I'm concerned filling 4-5 spots with just a few days before the deadline will be a difficult endeavor.
-
So based on messages received, early cuts, and trades, I think we have 8 teams in for sure (Gharrity'd Winners, Scroated Blotum, Blind Squirrels, Pine Tar Warriors, The Bremelos, Yasmani, Diamond Dogs, and I'm Keith Hernandez. Maybe we give until the 24th or 25th for the other 4 teams to speak up? Would hate for new owners to have to stomach a ton of lost salary caps because they took over a team that didn't give any cuts. Leaves about a week to find replacement owners.
-
I second Bremelos question. If people are dropping out, now would be the time to find out.
-
Looks like we're getting close the deadline. Do we know who all is in and out and what we're doing in terms of buy in cost?

I definitely in for 2017 regardless of buy-in/prizes. My preference would be the $49.99 plan that Yasmani mentioned.
-
There's a $49.99 price tier, in which the winner gets $300, second gets $100, and third gets $50. I'd be in favor of that -- affordable buy-in but enough of a prize to make things interesting.
-

-
I could take or leave a buy-in; doesn't really add much utility for me. If everyone else wants one though I'm fine with it (depending on the amt).
-
I'm all for increasing the buy-in and having prizes, if that is possible.
I agree we should attempt to get a roll call before 1/31, so if people are dropping out, the new owners have a chance to craft their rosters and position themselves for the draft.
-
You bring up an interesting question - how many returnees will we have for next year? It seems like at least 7 have been active in the offseason. Should we do some type of roll call to make sure we have enough for next year?
I think renewals are due by March 31 so we have until then, but keepers are due end of January.
-
If that's an option I'm all for it. What's our cut off date for renewals and do we know how many teams will be coming back?
-
What does everyone think about increasing the buy in and having prizes for the league? Im not thinking too much money, just enough to make it more interesting. I figured we would all take the first year to figure out how everything works.
-
I plan on waiting until closer to the deadline to make my cuts. Guessing others are too.
