I'm cleaning house on my shitty inherited team. If anyone I have interests you, throw some tradies my way.

I see updates for a trade block update...

Miracle Monks's trade block has been updated! Miracle Monks on January 21, 2014 11:31 AM

But, like, how do you view them?

When are we thinking about the draft for this year? Sometime mid/early March usually works best. Weekday night still best for everyone?

Just as a starting point for discussion, Wednesday March 12th at 8:30pm EST?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

12th still too early to determine which guys will come north, trades etc. how about 19th

For what it's worth, the update of my trading block was removing guys I had on the block (since mid-summer) after I cut them. So, really nothing to see.

[TransMonk]

19th works for me.

Cool, Ceetar's link wasn't working for me, so that's prob why. Thx.

I'll be in Europe either date. I might be screwed.

I'm good with either, but I'll point out that given it's a keeper league, guessing who will come north and who won't and all that is part of the fun.

Thanks, dude. I will be not metaphorically, nor figuratively, but literally screwed.

Any night from the 17th to the 21st would be ideal for me, as that is spring break week and I otherwise teach nights.

[metsmarathon]

anything in the latter half of march would be fine for me, provided its at 8:30 or later, preferably 9.

[seawolf17]

Monday 3/24 is no good, but other than that, I'm wide open the last two weeks in March.

[metsmarathon]

damn, i just cut out a whole shit-ton of talent from my team. the draft is gonna be interesting....

[TransMonk]

Yeah...lots of cuts this off-season. The draft could be long if nothing else.

[Ceetar]

When can Seo do? Tough to schedule for everyone but it's best if everyone's there. I probably should send an email since there are..2? people that aren't here.

I don't know that doing it that last week is the best time, You'd like to have a couple of days for trades and waiver claims to round out the team, but whatever works.

[TransMonk]

Seo: is an internet cafe a possibility? I think the time difference would translate to being something like 2:00 in the morning in Europe, so I don't know if places are open that late.

Otherwise, Seo can assign a trusted vice-GM to draft for him here in the states or he can pick over the waiver-wire.

None of these are ideal...but, Europe, baby!

[A Boy Named Seo]

You guys schedule it when it works for everyone. Hopefully I'll be at my brother's in Germany with a computer & internet and all that. If I'm elsewhere, I'll try to do it from my phone or figure something out.

[Ceetar]

as my other league reminds me, Dodgers D-Backs in Australia 3/22 starts the season. It's just two games but let's stick to drafting before that.

Gonna say 3/19 at 8:30 EST and let's try to make this work.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I paid the $10 and put the draft date on my calendar. Looks like it will be 2:30am on a beautiful Parisian Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Will try my best, but um, pas de promesses. What does happen if I can't be on for the draft (besides ending up with a shitty team)? Can I set up exclusions, max bids, stuff like that? I don't really see anything like in the draft center page.

[metsmarathon]

if you don't show up for the draft, there is no autodraft. you fill your team from the waiver wire.

You get nobody at all. It's a live auction draft. After the draft you can submit bids for anyone not signed and then he goes on two day waivers and goes to the person with the highest bid.

Your best bet is probably to find someone to draft for you.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Shit. Thanks.

working for me.




...but a lot of you haven't renewed yet (some of you are past due, not that I'm sure that matters yet?..)

[A Boy Named Seo]

Weird thing, that was. I'm good now.
