I’d rather the early draft too, but I’d also just go with the majority
-
And as for the start of the season, https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/01/no-delays-expected-for-start-of-spring-training-2021-season.html
-
I'd agree if any of that impacted managing a team like this, which is more or less done the same regardless of those outcomes. With or without minors, we'd still stash prospects. DH in one or both only changes valuation of a handful of players which is more or less like waiting around until spring training is done to rule out injuries.
-
I am normally in favor of starting earlier but the unknowns (season start date, minors, DH, etc.) makes me want to wait. I may be in the minority on this one and will do whatever the majority wants.

I'm hoping to have as little inactive time as possible to allow for less dead time as we approach the season. Please chime in, also let's get the trade blocks updated and make some moves!
-
Hey all, the draft is absolutely subject to change. I can do a doodle if we must, but I'd like to attempt to just pick a date and have it settled. As I am writing this I realize this is Super Bowl sunday probably kickoff, so I'll aim for Sat.

Welcome!

Welcome! It appears we have a new owner for our inactive squad. Looking forward to a full offseason of active owners!
-
Hi everyone - new guy here, taking over for Gent. Gonna take a quick look at this roster and then will be ready to make some deals. Looking forward to the season.
-
I've abandoned Gent's team and have it up for grabs on Otto, should hopefully have a new owner soon. Good luck with the off-season trades, try and update those trade blocks!
-
Last call for arbitration. Gent's hasn't been on in like 2 months so not too hopeful. Prepare those trade blocks for the offseason!
-
This Sat is the Arbitration deadline, once that is complete we're able to off-season trade until roster cuts are due. We'll start focusing on a draft date around the holidays.
-
Appreciate it, aiming for 100% arbitration for sure.
-
Just to make you guys aware im working on this.
-
Hey all, arbitration has begun! I'll be doing my best to ensure we have full activity for arbitration and cuts, off-season management, etc. If you have any indication that you may be leaving the league please reach out so we can do whatever we can to get timely replacements and keep competition robust from all squads.
-
Thank you, it was a tight finish to the very end. I'm glad this crazy season is over. Hopeful that next year we can get back to normalcy.

I'll email the chat log with Niv to ya Ace to verify the move.
-
It'll be randomized to either Ace or myself for $4, don't worry about your roster Soto as your $1 bod shouldn't have been included.
-
Not sure what happened to the Alvarado waiver claim but it's being looked at on Otto's end.
-
Nice draft. It's officially over instead of letting it time out. Trade away.
-
**Yes of course you can draft below a given valuation, that's the whole idea lol. It was just a reference to the start of a boxing match: I want a good clean fight. Stop when you hear the whistle, and no hitting below where your belt should be.
-
Draft is TONIGHT at 6:00pm EST. I want a good clean draft. Nominate when you hear the whistle, and no drafting below where the valuation should be.
-
I might be a little late to draft, but will be there
-
I'm just afraid if I don't have something to look forward to on Sunday, I'll jump into another NFBC draft and I really don't need any more leagues to keep track of. lol

I will admit I have an absolute itch to draft ... and open up transactions again.

Let's go with Sunday.

I don't really care so long as everyone is there I'm fine with either date. Feel free to message me if Sunday doesn't work and we'll do March 8.
-
I'm hoping for this Sunday if it remotely works for everyone, just because no one knows if something will come up between now and March 8th.
-
March 8th was the next alternative with 12/12 confirmed, for what that's worth. I just want to be done with the scheduling part of the draft lol. I appreciate you all taking the time to fill those damn things out multiple times and promptly. Good luck at the draft!
-
Are we able to confirm this Sunday works? It's been the staple draft for a while but when I went to delete the poll I saw a few had updated it as not possible. Seeing as we had a manager quit over the date in question and recruited under the pretext of drafting on Sunday I'm hoping this is still 12/12 live?
-
Welcome to the league, look forward to having you! This Sunday should work out for the draft, it's gearing up to be a juicy one - lots of talent to be drafted.
-
That sort of solves the problem. Lets plan on drafting this Sunday so long as we get Yanks team replaced. I'm going to offer another round of cuts to new owner if that helps.

This will be the final doodle. Whatever option plays out best will be our draft date. The goal is 12/12, if you can manage to make something work, please check that option. You can edit your previous response by clicking the pencil near your name. I got rid of the 14 failed options and added new ones for March.
-
I'm not new. I was here last year. It's ottoneu. We know our teams and what our needs are. Obviously with your cuts/keeps you're pretty set with what you've got ...not to mention why do you have two owners if not for this exact reason!!!
-
Love that I'm called out by the commish on the message board multiple times. And now new guy too.

Don't be tool Yankees. You've got two owners and basically no budget, whereas the rest of the league found a time to draft. It's not a redraft league. Timing of the draft shouldn't matter beyond what the majority of the league can out together. If 11/12 teams can get it to work, that's about as close as it gets. Who do you expect to outbid with 6 spots, $27 and the available players?
-
Yeah it's all my fault, that I have a life and I can't drop everything to draft in four days. there's only almost all of march available

I've had multiple suggestions and ways to handle this, we've got people who are trying to squeeze in time on their wive's birthday and other things that may be less than ideal. Realistically though, I'm not entirely sure we'll ever get all 12 of us conveniently on the same draft date. If we collectively would like to strive for this I'm open to expanding the calendar again.
-
At this point I'd like to open this up to league decision. If you guys would like me to open up the entire calendar until opening day to see if we can sync up for 12/12 online drafters I'm willing to do that. Neither of Da Yanks owners are able to draft this Sunday and missing the draft / having a friend draft their remaining roster is appears to be a deal breaker for them, which I understand.
-
Ah, well it's good to know that Doodle adjusts for local time for users. I wasn't aware of this before now. The bulk of the options are intended to be 6p EST to 9p EST.
-
your little doodle says 3pm to 6pm LA/pst(didn't see the LA at the top) before I asked you if it was east coast. When you said that times were east coast time that's where the confusion came from.

I thought there would be no math
-
I agree but the earliest we have any draft possibly starting is 6p EST (3p PST).
