I got a warning today that my registration was about to expire, and I'm thinking I might not be the only one. So you all might want to check to make sure your registration doesn't expire before draft day and before you even realize it. Yes I believe this is how we accidentally got two Snukes or something last year during the draft.

    metsmarathon wrote: The only real argument for it is that someone willing to foolishly put more time into their team might be at as light competitive advantage. But isn't that kindof the point...? i admit this somewhat comes from a laziness standpoint, but my thought was that the draft is already 2-3 hours long which is pushing the bounds for 'casual competitiveness' imo. But on the other end of it, I'm not sure there is necessarily a competitive advantage to grabbing a bunch of $1 gambles. You probably end up committing to players who probably suck longer, have less room for spring pickups, and do have to pay to cut these scrubs later. It's a lot like the Rule 5 draft. We've got our 12th owner, I just have to figure out how to add him via the UI which is just oh so user friendly. I either have to wait for a database propagation or he needs to link his fangraphs account and pay but he can't do that until he has a team? it's confusing. i'm looking into it.

Join a FFL league with Ceetar and I and 9 people you don't know and earn a chance to win big! Most rules remain unchanged, though we bumped the price up to $85. I think Ceetar would attest that it's a good league. PM me here or on FB if interested. it's a good league.

    Nymr83 wrote: i'll do it if you need the team The Easton assassins owner referred someone, who initially responded to my email but hasn't responded to my last two. If he doesn't get back to me by early next week he can lose his claim to you as long as you can make the Wednesday March 23rd at 8:30 PM draft time? It'll be a couple of hours to draft from there. I think I might set a hard end time for the draft, sometimes a team or two stays up late putting in $1 claims on scrubs/prospects to round out their team when everyone else is asleep. Seems like we should try to limit that a little bit.

I have another friend (a mets fan in easton assassins) whose uncle (not sure if he's a mets fan) is interested in joining. any objections? any other takers? any other dirty no-good dropouts? I'm looking forward to all the interesting keeper decisions that come down the road. I'm also still trying to figure out why anyone would've put arbitration dollars on ricky weeks. honestly.... I.. just don't get it. oops, yeah, I got the uncle's email address and then promptly forgot to compose and send the invite email.

    Tried to apply all my money to Alpine Albatrosses, but it wouldn't let me. Really want that team to be full of Albatross contracts, damn defending champs.

    I'll play, I'm going to be absolutely atrocious at it, but a lot of times these things boil down to dumb luck anyway.

    Eventually I'll catch up on the Marvel Universe. Having watched Agents of SHIELD and knowing about the tie-ins made this feel a little flashbacky from 2015. Also could see plenty of the Civil War setup going on. The actual movie itself was ok. At times it felt like a buddy comedy with Black Widow and Captain America. I can't figure out why, despite Winter Soldier being clearly competent at catching the shield, Cap kept throwing it at him. There was definitely a bit of "Hey, let's CGI the shield bouncing off stuff" feel to a lot of the action scenes. In fact, the shield seems placed in scenes where it's almost unnecessary. a little bit of heavy handed allegory there.
  17. Ceetar
    yeah, I'd probably play.

    I'm surprised the calculator doesn't reflect the Ottoneu options. seems silly to me.

I mean, it's nice to think Im not overpaying him, but there's no way a full third of a payroll should be tied upon one guy, no matter how good he is. So, what's the plan? Normal draft Friday night. lots of people are annoyed at me, LWFS finds someone to draft for him. I have no faith in trying to get another solution in place. If we did try the waiver wire avenue I feel like too many people would end up being too busy/distracted to participate fully and it'd still be a mess. I don't think we can start the waiver wire until after the draft either. So it's not like we could do a few rounds that way, and then draft. We could perhaps limit the length of the draft and let it go wild via waivers after that. What do you all think? I'll send out an email Monday morning. Barring something extreme like a nationwide power outage, whatever is in that email is what we're doing.

    Another option is a round-robin offline draft over email or whatever, using http://www.fangraphs.com/auctiontool.aspx for pricing.

I mean, it's roughly the same as doing it all via waivers, just without the time constraints.

    It's a thought. I know we have at least one that can't make that Friday (who's certainly welcome to chime in here!) that seems to be the only mostly available day. We've got 11 for that day, though a few reluctantly, which I certainly understand. Though investing 2 hours Friday night is probably easier than 10-15 minutes every day for auctions. We _could_ do it entirely off line. I could email out say 20 guys on Monday and have everyone submit a blind bid on them and then manually add to teams. But based on the responses of some I'm not sure that sort of regular work seems acceptable to all.
