The Unfortunate Cubs Fan's trading block has been updated!
-
Read back through the messages from the last several days. There's already been some discussion on this.
-
"Milk and Cheese" drafted 3 players (Pujols, Carlos Gonzalez and Kelly Johnson) and then quit the draft. Could these players be put into free agency. I ask, now, because I am currently in last place and would have the first pick (s) .
-
it does, although you can set future lineups ahead of time.
-
If someone is away on vacation, does the same lineup just keep repeating itself?
-
There was a issue with the lineups where you were requested to submit lineups again to avoid. They...may be retroactively adding those stats. Not entirely sure of this though
-
why did i not get credit for yesterday's statistics??
-
support sent me a message telling me to tell you guys to go reset your lineups today. Some glitch in their system. Check your email for details.
-
I don't see how anyone would want to replace these teams now...their team would be atrocious.
-
My vote is for replacements and I am willing to build a team from the wire, if any new owner insists on a full roster.
-
my vote is to find a replacement
-
Both are solid options

Both are solid options
-
I'd already asked ottoneu to freeze their rosters(no response yet). I can ask if they could try and hook us up with replacements. Doesn't matter to me whether we get new blood now or next offseason as neither is really ideal. Any preference?
-
Sorry, I really see no justification releasing his players back out unless that was a pre-determined and agreed to practice. Which it wasn't. It is unfortunate he took 3 top players and fizzled out.
-
As for voting them off the island, they missed the initial draft and haven't shown up since. Replacements are the obvious answer.
-
Not much to add, except that I agree completely with Burninators and Nightman on locking their rosters. M+C's players will be back in the free agent pool next offseason, just like they would be if he were to quit after the first year.
-
To arbitrarily removed players from a drafted lineup and reinsert them into the league post-draft would screw the integrity of our league. The question is not do we modify his roster. The question is do we vote him off the island and find a replacement.
-
Am I understanding correctly that you drafted on the assumption that the owner would never return and that we'd elect to change the league rules and return his players to the pool and you'd get them on the cheap?
-
I'm having a hard time with your logic. If we just let the game run its course and found a replacement owner either now or in the offseason, those players would not be thrown back in the player pool any more than the players on your team would be.
-
We are going to have throw them back at some point - it is just a matter of when. I would give up my entire roster if it means adding 3 more owners.
-
As one of the 2 guys - one who purposely made sure he most the money left - I think it is unfair to 'freeze them' simply because others did not share my foresight. That said, if someone can make a compelling case ...
-
i say freeze him...if you cut his players, it would set off a dramatic shift in competition, since theres two guys who could get them...cargo or pujols could conceivably go for ~$30
-
haha, shit. Milk and Cheese has Pujols and Car-Go for god's sake. haha
-
yeah, we can't have his 3 players back out. just freeze them if you can.
-
If anybody ever wants to trade, email me. I really, really like trading. I don't expect to be very active right away though, unless injuries shake up my roster.
-
I'd like to just freeze their rosters until next offseason. Then we find replacement managers. I'd rather not see Milk's guys back in the player pool this year. What's everybody think?
-
What are we doing about the teams that didn't draft? Milk and cheesehas 3 players, what do we do about him?

thanks, it is tough to find minor leaguers in this format
-
At the top of this page, click on Free Agents. That gives you a list of players, click on Free Agent next to a player
-
how do i start a new auction like the current one for David Hernandez?
-
Also, we can now set our lineups. I hate that we're a few teams short this year, but ottoneu has enough roster-balancing rules to allow us to get new teams up to speed in the offseason.
-
I've ended the draft, so I'd expect you can do blind bids to fill the rest of your roster if you want.
-
....season anyway. I would love to End the Draft Early though, but I will leave that up to you.
-
cool, I tried to start the draft, but it just said "Error: getting teams online". Probably because I was the only one in there. I don't need to finish the draft for my final 4 players, I can just fill those in whatever way you add players during the
-
Once you're done, go ahead and end the draft (there is an "end draft early" button. I expect that we'll then be able to adjust our rosters. I have not heard anything from those who missed the draft.
-
Nightman - you are now a commissioner. One of the many perks that comes with the title is that you have the ability to start and stop the draft. That way you can fill out your lineup.
-
Don't forget Vicente Padilla.
-
that link is to a particularly bad-ass one

Eephus is only like the coolest and probably rarest pitch ever. The only two recent/currentish pitchers to throw it are Orlando Hernandez and I think Miguel Batista throws one. Casey Fossum had one as well as Randy Johnson I believe.
-
where does the name " Eephus" come from?
-
i was just going to wait for everything to be done and over and then fill it out, since those last 4 spots don't matter much. My computer was just lagging terribly all throughout the draft on both days and I couldn't tolerate after Hour 7, haha.
-
I'm waiting to hear back from the guys who missed the draft, but I'm guessing we'll just be short in year 1.
-
Nightman - If you decide that you want to finish out your lineup (this goes for anyone), let me know and I'll unpause the draft for you.
-
....so...what now?
-
yes, at 8 am pacific
-
Is this draft going to continue?
