HGH and Centaur Paintings is back for the 2020 season. Praise be to our league namesake, future Mr. Jennifer Lopez.

This season's theme pays homage to Canada's proud baseball heritage.
Please name your team after poutine, Larry Walker's Spongebob fetish, Montreal's fan base, Pamela Anderson, maple syrup, or literally anything having to do with our beloved neighbors to the north.

:siren: Stupid Special Rules :siren:
There is a :10bux: 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 dollars 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 I will make you keep one of your relievers.

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 results in hilarious overpays for waiver wire guys and dudes that get called up for one start and then sent back down.

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

Draft Date so far is Sunday, March 15th, at 6:00PM EST. This is a tentative date, we can move it around if it works for no one. So far I've only heard back from three owners, so I'm not sure who is returning and who isn't. As soon as I find out there's an owner not returning I will post the available team below.

I'm back in, despite having poor showings the first couple of years. (Tightasses)

Am I crazy or did we change the keepers to 4 players last year?

I don't know how much everyone else likes our categories, but I think we should combine saves and holds into one category. We could combine AVG and walks into OBP to make sure it stays even. I just think our current systems values mediocre middle relievers too much.

We added a 4th outfielder 2 seasons ago, is that what you're thinking?

I like the way they are but if people want to change I'm open to it.

I'm open to just about any scoring changes. OBP is a fun stat and HLD would still be included.

It looks like the new alignment would devalue... three true outcome hitters?

I think I was conflating this with a Goon football league I was in that went from 2 to 3 keepers.

Carry on!

Someone via email requested we move the draft up one hour earlier. Is that okay with everyone? It's so far out I know I have nothing going on that day except drafting.

My proposal: draft as normal this weekend. Be prepared for like a 100 game season that begins June 1. If the season begins but is abandoned later in the year, whoever is in first at that time is champ.

And be prepared for the idea that the season may never start at all.

Are we having the draft? I will participate if we do. Gotta say my heart's not really in it rn though...

I probably won't be able to make it if we draft this sunday, but if you guys want to go through with it I'll gladly autodraft and send the :10bux: and participate in whatever kind of season we'll get

Well its insane but it sure looks like there will be baseball games played this year. Haven't paid much attention to training camp news etc, but I made some key waiver wire additions and set my lineups so lets do this

I will send in my :10bux: on the day the first game is played. Cause I still don't 100% believe this is happening

If anyone hasn't changed their name to a Canadian themed name, now there are a ton of new hilarious possibilities after the Blue Jays got denied permission to play :lol:

Yeah if the season does not play to completion I will just send everyone the money back. Twice this offseason I almost returned it already because I'm still skeptical any baseball is being played.
