HGH & Centaur Paintings is back for an action-packed 2016 season! Fraternal greetings to the Dear Leader, Alex Rodriguez, may his masterful resurgence continue in the game of Based Balls. Last season The Castro District defeated the Habana Rojos, securing the coveted $60 prize and the admiration of all players. Stupid Special Rules
This is a majority goon ESPN league, two people aren't from this site but they're equally as nerdy about baseball. Scoring is Average, Home Runs, RBI, Runs, Walks, and Stolen Bases on offense. Strikeouts, Wins, Saves, Holds, ERA, and WHIP on pitching. Here is a giant image explaining the roster size. There's an extra pitcher's spot or two than the default ESPN league, and 3 DL spots for all your pitchers who have gone on the DL with "forearm tightness" while Dr James Andrews prepares his axe. There's no limit on roster transactions, but to prevent someone at 4:59am EST on a Monday picking up the next Mike Trout, we have the Free Agent Auction system. Playoffs is top 4 teams based upon record. If there is a tie we look at your head-to-head record. If that is somehow a tie the team with the most players busted for steroids will advance. if that is somehow a tie we will tweet Alex Rodriguez directly and await further instructions. We are drafting Sunday, March 13 at 8PM EST. Rand alPaul fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Feb 28, 2016 |

That is a pro banner, I think it's the second best Batista-related photoshop this league has ever seen.

Okay I'm waiting on one more person before I post the available team(s).cebrail posted:That is a pro banner, I think it's the second best Batista-related photoshop this league has ever seen. Haha I just got this joke and it's amazing. We had some A+++ team names last year, I hope our Korean-themed league will deliver as well.

1. I favor the Match 20 date now but I can make the 13th work or I'll just autodraft. 2. Did you delete whoever that was that went idle from May on last season?

Snake draft or auction? I've been more into drafts the last couple seasons.

Spoeank posted:Was my one season in the league that awful that my request to join was ignored I thought you were still in the league. I have a hard time remembering who is who on the forums, my bad! I am confusing you with the other Giants poster. I would definitely love to have you back, send me a PM or post your email.

I guess carrying the burden of 3 titles in 5 years is the price I pay for getting my second choice of the remaining teams. Jmkrisko at Gmail dot com. (Everyone is free to hate me for that)

Did I steal your team?

Yeah but it's fine. Braun/E5/MadBum isn't the ideal 3 keepers but I guess there was a reason this team was abandoned

Can we trade players on our current roster for draft picks?

I legit thought you were still in the league and was posting that you were coming back. I think we have at least 3 Giants fans. coronaball posted:Can we trade players on our current roster for draft picks? No, is that possible in ESPN Fantasy? I'd totally consider doing it next year. Moneyball posted:If it helps, looks like you have the first pick in the draft if we're going by last year's standings. It's totally randomized, which is okay because we only have 3 Keepers. First 3 rounds should have solid dudes. Joey Votto was the 66th pick last year.

I guess that means you can send a player via trade for nothing, and then the manager manually adjusts the draft order. I just proposed a trade where I sent Miguel Cabrera to Spoeank for nothing in return and it accepted it, so that part works. (I cancelled the proposal immediately)

My hesitation toward doing it is that if over the season someone traded a ton of draft picks and then left a team that was crippled in the following draft.

Ok I went ahead and set the draft to Sunday, Mar 13, 8:00 PM ET. Let me know if this doesn't work for some reason, I can switch the time around or move it back a week to the 20th.

That's ~*my birthday*~ do I get the first pick? I'm not doing anything special that day so it works for me.

# ? Feb 29, 2016 03:19 |

I'd prefer the 20th, I already have 2 drafts the 13th, but I can make it work if it doesn't work for other people.
|
# ? Feb 29, 2016 04:09 |
|
Paypal sent, as I said before I'd prefer 3/20 but can make 3/13 work, sorta.
|
# ? Mar 4, 2016 23:42 |
|
Money sent, and I like 3/13. 3/20 would probably work too though.
|
# ? Mar 5, 2016 01:21 |
|
Is there anyone who can't make the 20th? I can change it if it is a huge problem. I'm okay with either, although I'd prefer 13th because it's sooner and I don't want to confuse folks.
|
# ? Mar 5, 2016 03:09 |
|
Paid up. I can do whenever.

# ? Mar 7, 2016 18:23 |

Ok I need to know if I should change the date or not. Also ESPN is giving url errors on imgur pics for some reason so here's this
|
# ? Mar 7, 2016 22:03 |
|
I'd prefer the 20th but will go along with whatever you guys want. My schedule is kinda crazy right now and I might be autopicking no matter when we draft but that's OK.
|
# ? Mar 8, 2016 14:58 |
|
So let's get a final decision. PB, corona, Spoeank prefer 20th, throw me in as well because I'll be drunk on the 13th cebrail and Rand for 13th
|
# ? Mar 9, 2016 15:13 |
|
Ok I am going to go ahead and switch it to the 20th.
|
# ? Mar 10, 2016 05:59 |
|
Okay I still haven't got $10 from everyone, if you haven't sent it in please do so before the draft.

Starters and Sano available. Probably for keeper-worthy players, in the case of Scherzer and Fernandez

Next year I'll definitely prepare properly again. I was frantically fangraphsing stats the entire time and every time I decided on a player he got picked by someone else. I forgot how stressful it is without having a nice spreadsheet.
