New season, new thread?

As a reminder, the keeper deadline is tomorrow.

I think I'm done purging my roster. I have a crapton of salary cap room, and I'm meeting with the city council next week to build me a new stadium.

How does Draft Day work?

[TransMonk]

We'll have to choose a draft day (late March, if I remember correctly)...but it is live and chat enabled.

Last year we had to split it up over a couple of days since we were drafting teams from scratch. It should only take a couple of hours this year since the teams are mostly assembled.

[metsmarathon]

lets not forget, too, that we have to renew our league payments by mid february.

[TransMonk]

Good point!

[Ceetar]

I think we did a weeknight at 9ish last time. Is that still best for everyone, or would a weekend evening work better? earlier on a weeknight? Something like Tuesday March 12th at 8pm?


Some of you still need to release guys..or at least, should.

Snukes is down to 12 players, but no one else has less than 19. Most will probably be drafting 10-15 players, so hopefully it doesn't take more than a couple of hours.

This is a ticky-tack thing for me, but 8:30 is better than 8.

Also, definitely before 3/22, will be away.

[TransMonk]

I'm with JCL on the time.

It looks like everyone if under the cap...so I don't think any team has to cut anyone.

I'm going into the draft only needing to fill 9 spots...none of them everyday guys...which is good because my budget only has $34 bucks left.

Anyone know where to click in order to pay our dues?

'renew new' button on the right.

[seawolf17]

Paid.

[metsmarathon]

i'm probably carrying over too much of my sucky-suck offense from last year, but we'll see how that goes.

Thank you kindly. Paid as well.

After finishing third last year, I'm keeping my team mostly intact. I have some injury concerns, but also feel that if my unit stays healthy I can contend again.

there is a pill for that.

[TransMonk]

Har-de-har. I should've seen that coming.

I'm hoping the pill is called full-strength Bautista.

[Guest mgmlax85]

Weeknights are good for me. 3/12 would be fine. Preferably not 3/14 or 3/15. Other than that, I should be available. Looking forward to another fun year, especially the draft.

Tuesdays are very bad for me, except for March 19th (my evening class is off). I could do Monday or Wednesday, but Thursday or Friday would be better.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fridays kinda suck for me, any other nite OK

[Ceetar]

March 7th at 8:41 maybe?

[metsmarathon]

march 7 seems really really early...

[seawolf17]

3/12 or 3/13 are both good for me.

[TransMonk]

My calendar is loser-ishly open. I should be able to be available at any time agreed upon.

[Guest Muddy Chicken]

I'll throw my vote in for 3/12 or 3/13. The week prior could be bad because mgmlax85 and I may be out of town on work travel.

[smg58]

I can't do the 12th, but I could make the 13th work.

[metsmarathon]

12 or 13 should be fine for me.

[TransMonk]

13th works for me too. At or after 8pm EST would be best.

[seawolf17]

Draft Day draws nigh. 3/13, 8:30ish EST?

[TransMonk]

The draft is a week away...set your targets NOW!

[Ceetar]

pasting my email here, I think I'm missing someone's email in my list.

REMINDER:

Draft is Wednesday night at 8:30. I'll send out a reminder email at 8:25 if everyone is not there, and we'll wait a couple of minutes if someone's running late.

I did a draft Saturday that took 2-3 hours, it seems like we have about as many roster spots left here as well.

Thoughts: Glance at your roster once or twice before the draft to figure out which positions you're targeting, which may help with deciding who to nominate for auction. Pay attention to the injury wire too. (Zack Grienke is headed to the doctor) Also keep an eye for players with the same name. I know there's a scrub Jose Bautista out there, make sure you're nominating the right guy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh shit.
