HGH and Centaur Paintings is back for another stupid season. Praise be to El Cacique, Alex Rodriguez, may he escape the clutches of the dastardly Yankees and sign with a baseball team in Japan alongside Manny Ramirez. Last season the Hyundai Unicorns defeated someone and went home with the $60 prize. Stupid Special Rules There is a entry fee, with the money divvied up 60/30/10 to the first, second, and third place teams respectively. Every year the winner has been paid so your ten bux is safe with me. Mandatory 3 Keeper rules. You must keep 3 players before the draft, despite how lovely your roster is. That's it on keepers, we have no other weird rules about them having to be dropped or whatever. This year's theme is Mexico. Please make your team a reference to the wall, Mexican culture, Mexican baseball players, or the impending NAFTA trade war This is an ESPN league with at least 80% of the members being goons. Scoring is Average, Home Runs, RBI, Runs, Walks, and Stolen Bases on offense. Strikeouts, Wins, Saves, Holds, ERA, and WHIP on pitching. We use the Free Agent Auction System which isn't nearly as awful as it sounds. It actually makes for really funny moments when someone blows a ton of money on a guy that gets demoted after one start. This is the current roster size. I am thinking about expanding the rosters a bit, so I'm leaving it up to a vote: We can add a slot for CIF, MIF, a fourth outfielder, more pitchers, or the comedy option second catcher. Tentative draft date is Sunday, March 26th at 8:15PM EST. I SWEAR IM NOT CHANGING IT AGAIN UGH. Rand alPaul fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Mar 21, 2017 |

You must keep 3. Can I trade a player on my roster now for a extra draft pick?

Can you send me a PM with your email so I can invite you? coronaball posted:You must keep 3. Wait what? We can vote on trading for draft picks if you want. Which reminds me I need to put up the new position poll.

I mean can I/we trade a player that we are not keeping to someone else for like a 4th or 5th round pick. For example, I'm probably not gonna be able to keep Miguel Cabrera, but he's probably still in the top 36 keepers in MLB. So I'd like to trade him for something.

If so we can take a vote on draft pick trading. Edit: According to this it's possible, but I think I have to manipulate the draft manually?

I'm fine with trading draft picks as long as they are picks in this year's draft, not future years. Tanking in fantasy sports is lame IMO.

If someone wants to trade like their 4th round pick for Miggy I'd be okay with it, I'm not sure exactly how I could do it as the LM, I suppose I'd have to manually create the draft order and everyone just trust me that I did it randomly.

If it's the same as it is on Yahoo it shouldn't be more than a few clicks. Set the draft to snake and random order ( or do we draft in reverse order of last years standings?) Either way, you just go to edit draft order, and replace that particular draft pick.

Ok I'll try to figure it out later, ESPN's not letting me look at the draft until I have the league full. I'd like to draft on the 19th if possible.

The 19th I will be flying back from Sacramento. We're physically moving an entire retail location to a new storefront, and I am not sure how craptastically busy my weekend will be since I get to be responsible for the servers making it thru alive - we go down early Friday and come back late Sunday. I can probably do the 24th if that's not too late, or Monday night the 20th?

Actually right now it's totally up in the air, we can move it around a lot. Some people want it on a week day. Originally the plan was to have it this Sunday but that's not going to work for a couple. Keepers are simply that you need to keep 3 players, that's it.

Excuse my ignorance, I've never done a keeper before

Ok I hate to be a jerk but I have to move the draft back an hour to 8:15PM EST. I know that's what it originally was at and this preseason has been a nightmare, so I'm sorry! Going to switch it now and schedule it on ESPN. And I'm putting up the poll in the league for what extra roster spot we want. Also going to send out paypal emails.

That actually kinda screws me a bit. I already have a draft scheduled that night for 9:30pm. :\ Also, is it really overall W-L records? Not individual categories? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Yeah in this league you win or lose or tie each week, like in fantasy football (IIRC, I haven't played fantasy FB in years), and yes it sucks when a win turns into a loss on sunday night when your RP blows a hold.

I tried looking at their FAQ and I cannot come up with an explanation. If I can move it to 8 I would, is 7:45 preferable for everyone?
