HGH and Centaur Paintings is back for the 2018 season. Praise be to the future CEO of Outback Steakhouse, Alex Rodriguez.

This season's theme is the Australian Baseball League.
Please name your team after Vegemite, Men at Work, giant cans of Foster's, kangaroos, Crocodile Dundee, didgeridoos, and that episode of the Simpsons.

:siren: Stupid Special Rules :siren:
There is a $10 Dollarydoo 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 dollarydoos are safe with me.
Mandatory 3 Keeper rules. You must keep 3 players before the draft, despite how lovely your roster is. If you don't keep three players you will be booted by the Prime Minister, Andy.


This is an ESPN league with 80% goons in it. 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 like last season when I blew all my waiver money on Andrew McCutchen and missed out on Cody Bellinger despite not having a 1B worth fuckall.

This is the current roster size. Last season we added a 4th OF which helped prevent the glut of good OFs sitting on the waiver wire.

Draft Date is Sunday, March 18 at 7:00 PM ET

TiTs reporting in (Tijuana Tightasses).

Hopefully getting out of Mexico will mean my team doesn't poo poo all over itself again.

Okay I've tried emailing Osuna Matata twice, I've even sent him a PM on the forums (I think he's Darude - Adam Sandstorm) and I've received no responses, so I am guessing I need to replace him. It's a bummer because he won in '14 and was a good owner, but I'd like to draft rather soon. So if anyone knows him please tell him we miss him, or I guess his team is available.

It has Goldschmidt and Trea Turner so it won't be hard to find a fill-in if he doesn't respond.

I am trying to have the other goon draft on Sunday 3/25, but I'm having trouble getting poo poo together in that League. Since we are basically full already maybe we could draft on Sunday 3/18?

I think most people would. I have Altuve, Lindor and Springer but I would trade that for Goldschmidt/Turner/Bellinger in a heartbeat.

I have someone wanting to take over a team, let me know when we should jettison that owner and swap him out. He's been with us from the beginning so I've been reluctant to cut him loose.

Would love to do 3/18 personally. In fact that's what I'm aiming for. Is that good for everyone else? The sooner we draft the better.

I'd give him a little longer, he was posting regularly on SA until like 2 weeks ago.

I went ahead and set a draft date for Sunday, March 18, at 7PM EST. I can maneuver the hours around if someone has a work conflict.

Yeah I'll give him a couple more days, I saw he posted earlier this week in the MLB thread so maybe he's been busy.

7PM works for me, but any later than that could be difficult.

Just throwing it out there in case anyone has any interest in Encarnacion or Anthony Rendon. I have a glut of 1B and 3B.
