Friendly reminder: TODAY is the final day to make cuts without penalty! After today, rosters will be locked until the auction, and after that, any cut will carry a cap penalty. So get those cuts in soon! And any trades need to be proposed and agreed to by the cut deadline as well.

Please remove Yoelqui Cespedes from my MiLB roster. Thanks.
-
No Milb drops for me.
-
2 teams have let me know they won't be making drops to their MiLB roster. So in total, I need 5 teams to either post their drops by Tuesday or let me know they won't be dropping anyone. It looks like Niv won't be moving the deadline regardless of lockout negotiations, so make sure to do your regular cuts by Tuesday too.
Also, can confirm Thunder Gun has hijacked a river ferry and tossed out Jordyn Adams.

Please drop Jordyn Adams from my MiLB roster.
-
Drops are done for the Isotopes.
Also, the rule change vote can't meet the 75% threshold from what's been submitted so far, so we will continue with a season-long points system. We will revisit this, and any other proposed changes, at the *beginning* of the next offseason.

Please drop Diaz, Holmes and Reed from my MiLB roster (and let me know if there's some other mechanism for those transactions).
-
Hi all, thanks for the add. Trade block updated with a number of good, cheap young guys. Would be interested in adding a strong bat and RP.
-
I think being after lots of cuts have been made it would need a unanimous vote to switch. I'm good with it, I'm rebuilding anyway lol.
-
Most likely. They way you construct your roster is a little different usually, not for all but there are different roster construction strategies you can take compared to a normal points league.
-
Would the league format have any effect on keeper decisions?
-
The first year of this league was a head to head and it sucked! Just kidding, I'm just bitter because I was by far the highest scoring team and I got 2nd. The strategy is a little different mostly because of the difference of IP limits, but it can be more engaging week to week for sure.
-
I have never played in a HTH league. Can someone briefly touch on the major advantages of each game? Thanks.
-
Welcome to our two new managers! Happy to have you. Thanks, Ben's Banter, for taking the solo commish role. Now, let's hope we have actual baseball to follow.
-
Also, I've dropped Miguel Amaya and Brice Turang from my MiLB roster

Silk Robe and Burrito drops are complete.
Good call on the rules recommendation. If you haven't noticed, Jason left the league as well. Just added a new owner yesterday to his team. He's focused on his newborn child and asked to step back. So I'll be a solo commish after all.
Please fill out this very short form: https://forms.gle/fnw3rngDqoPiP8158
As in the past, we'll only make a rule change if over 75% of the league asks for it. I'll plan to do the rul

Question for league: Hey guys, I know there’s been a lot of recent turnover, so I wanted to just run something by everyone. Last few years have been Roto points based. Any thought to trying head x head again so there is a bit more competition? Seems like half the league is already out of the hunt for a title by the halfway point last couple years. Just a thought.
-
Commish- plz drop Criswell and Naylor from my MiLB roster. Thx.
-
Yes, cut deadline is still 2/15 for rosters and MiLB players. Depending on lockout negotiations it may be extended again, but be prepared to make cuts by Tuesday. Also, trades will be unavailable between the cut deadline and the auction, so put together any proposals you’ve been putting off.

Please drop Tahnaj Thomas from MiLB
-
Quick question Commish, are we considering 2/15 the keeper deadline e for our MiLB rosters as well?
-
New owner here. Team now called MVP Machines. Open for business. Virtually everyone available besides the big three of Vlad, Tatis, and Soto. For example, 2B eligible Mookie would make sense for virtually every squad. Looking to put my own stamp on the team prior to the keeper deadline. Want to get that hot stove burning this weekend with trades.

If anyone is looking to join another league this year - I have three openings in 1174 (FGPTs w/ 5MiLB). We'll likely do a dispersal draft once all teams are taken. Let me know!
-
Trade Block has been updated. Send me an offer or message if you're interested in anyone!
-
In case you didn’t see, the keeper deadline has been extended from January 31st to February 15th. Depending on the lockout timeline it may move further. The due date for MiLB cuts will also now be February 15th and will follow the keeper deadline if it changes. We won’t determine our auction date until we get to the keeper deadline, whenever that ends up being.

Maybe…. Send me an offer and we can go from there.

Anybody want to take a shot on Glasnow?

All, I've reconstructed the MiLB tracker. Please double check it if there are any issues. Remember that you can only carry five MiLB players, so any cuts you want to make to this roster need to be posted on the message board by January 31st. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11uaN8xG_0es0AdPeZZLeuRK-UElFWwAy9dyCO-c_3fg/edit?usp=sharing

I updated my block with my MiLB roster
-
Thanks Ben. My Minors guys are all up to date.
-
Thanks Ben. I have updated my MiLB players on my trade block
-
So I followed up with Eric and apparently his MiLB spreadsheet was deleted from his Drive. I’ll put it back together shortly, but if you can make sure the minor leaguers listed on your trade block are accurate that would help. More to follow!

There was a shared google sheet, but it appears that the document is no longer shared/available.

Hey Soler, best to you for a safe arrival of the new baby!! I also note you just cut your team's namesake, Jorge Soler...so you'l rename your team? Or name your new baby "Jorge"?? Phil saw you move this morning and called to tell me he was happy he isn't playing anymore, so I can't cut him and thus drop his name from our team....
-
Hey everyone! Been running around with work stuff and incoming baby stuff, but I'm excited for the new season! By any chance does someone have the link to the minor league keepers handy? I searched my google drive and didn't see it. Happy holidays everyone!
-
All: just a heads up. Jason invited me to replace Eric and be his co-commissioner. So feel free to route any questions our way, and I'll work to live up to the high standard set by my predecessor.

Welcome to the league Nathan.
-
Hi Nathan, welcome to the league!! You've inherited a strong squad! You'll enjoy this group and with your experience, I'm sure you'll do well. This will help get you through that Minnesota winter too, donchyaknow. Phil says hi too!
-
Hi I'm Nathan Ely new manager of Dascenzo's Dingers. Thank you for the invite to this league. I've been playing fantasy baseball for about 20 years. This is a new type of league for me and I look forward to learning over the winter. I live in Minnesota so there is plenty of winter to come. I look forward to getting to know you all better in the years and months to come. Thanks again.
-
Great job commish! And best of luck with the Brew Crew!
-
Happy trails!
-
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I am transferring this team over now. Best of luck in the upcoming season to all of you! It was a blast to participate in this league for the last few years.
-
Congrats & good luck Eric! Hate to see you go
-
I can hit up a couple friends to try to fill Eric's huge shoes. It'll be tough...
-
You will be missed in the league Eric! Thanks for running everything the last couple years and good luck with the Brewers.
-
Eric, mega-congrats on landing the full-time job with the Brewers!! That is so cool and I'm so happy for you. Hope you can make the most of it and enjoy seeing baseball from the deep inside of it. Your discipline and attention to detail will serve you well. Thanks for being our Commish and adding so much! Good luck to you!!!
-
I messaged Jason about commish duties and he might need some assistance in the upcoming year running the league. This would involve keeping an eye on the MiLB debuts during the season, and setting a time for the upcoming auction draft and MiLB draft during the offseason. If you'd be interested in helping out in this way, feel free to message Jason. Thanks for a fun league these last 3 years everyone, I really think the work I did for this league helped me break into Baseball.
