I thought we were doing random picks? Why would he get to choose?

---

Because that is what I originally said, and I'm a man of my word.

Plus, it makes sense. Gives most posters a feeling of ownership over the team they choose.

I'm in!

What email should I send my picks to?

Yea if you need a fill in, I'm still willing

I'll take woodland Bubbles

Shoes, Represent and Kampfers have until tomorrow morning to check in before I start recruting other members.

I am pushing back the keeper deadline until this Sunday. We will hold the draft after work hours next week on Wednesday. (this part took longer than I expected, and I want to give the new guys enough time to choose their keepers)

I just sent a pm to represent

CaptMorgan takes the Aggieland Maroon Sox


Represent830 has a reservation on the Cypress Woodpeckers for the next 24 hours. If not, we will need to find one more person to play.

Can we login yet? Can you send an invite to access?

I am going to try and figure out how to remove the current users and invite you guys this afternoon. If you have sent me an email, I should be able to add you. If you haven't sent me an email yet, please do.

Invites sent to all the new guys (except Represent830 - waiting on him)

To choose your keepers......

Go to "My Team" -> "Choose Keepers"

Select your 18 (or less) players, then hit "Set Keepers" at the bottom.

If anyone wants to discuss a trade before the keeper deadline, let me know.

Looks like it won't let you make a trade until we draft. Otherwise, I was interested.

My pitching

Whoooooooa sorry guys. Hadn't seen this because I thought I wouldn't get in. I'm in!

Shoutout to Capt Morgan for helping me out.

Wreck said we can make it happen. What you got?

I'd be interested in a trade. Need SP

If anyone has pitching to trade for OF, let me know!

All trades will need to be kept manually, then executed after the draft. I don't see a way to make a trade systematically right now.

For instance, if you guys make a one-for-one trade, you both will need to keep the player you traded away, then execute the trade after the draft.

If you are trading draft picks, etc..... then that's on you guys to keep track and execute.


Personal opinion, keep it simple for now. Best case scenario, I *may* be able to manually over-ride rosters and make the trade myself as commissioner, but I've never done that before.

I'll say it again. I VERY rarely will ever even question a trade, as some teams have future in mind, some have present. Only time I'll bring anything up is if I think an owner is confused and needs clarification.

For the record, I have the following players on the trade block : (in order of how much I value them)

Pitching -
Sonny Gray - SP - OAK - 27 years old
Blake Snell - SP - TB - 24 years old
Eduardo Rodriguez - SP - BOS - 23 years old
Marco Estrada - SP - TOR - 33 years old

Hitting -
Jorge Soler - OF - KC - 25 years old
Nick Williams - OF - PHI - 23 years old
Blake Swihart - C - BOS - 24 years old
Mike Napoli - 1B - TEX - 35 years old
Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - NYM - 31 years old


I am looking for young players with high potential at almost any position, but OF is probably my number one need.

sorry, new/ignorant question - do the players in the NA spot need to be kept in the same fashion, thus counting against our 18 keepers?

Yes

Ok, think I've got my keepers set. Stronger overall team than I expected, excited to start the year. You might notice a minor relocation occurred... (made sure to follow the naming conventions though).
