HGH and Centaur Paintings is back for another season. Greetings from American Labor Hell where billionaires are broke and workers have it too good.



Feel free to name your team after literally anything stupid that happened in the past 130 days. Greedy owners, stupid capitulating players, Ken Rosenthal becoming a Bolshevik, owners, unions, the ghost of Marvin Miller crying, whatever.

: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 :10bux: ten dollars are safe with me.
Mandatory 3 Keeper rule: You must keep 3 players before the draft, despite how lovely your roster is. If you don't keep three players I will select them for you based upon average draft position.

This is an ESPN league with 80% goons in it. Scoring is Batting Average, HR, RBI, R, BBs, and SBs on offense. Ks, 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. Three seasons ago we added a 4th OF which helped prevent the glut of good OFs sitting on the waiver wire.

DRAFT DATE: We're hoping to draft Sunday, March 27th at 7:00PM EST. Hopefully I won't mess up the time zones this time. Because Spring Training is super short there's not a lot of time to draft but let me know if this time absolutely doesn't work for some of you.

TEAM OPENINGS: There's at least one team open this season.

I am/was Bilbo BABIPs and I'm back even though I've run my roster into the ground. Maybe I should take that unowned team and let some other goon inherit my pile of poo poo.

What is your Venmo or Paypal?

Man I knew I forgot something in the OP: My paypal account is still tied my old decrepit yahoo email: senatorjp@yahoo.com Send your :10bux: there please!

I think this is the third consecutive year I've had three keepers in the pre-season top 10. this is my year!

Got it, thanks!

I sent one invite out, but we have two openings now, and it's likely the draft will have to be delayed unless I can find owners. :negative:

Who are the logical keepers for each unowned team? I could try and get some non-goons in, but they'd probably want to know what they're getting into.

Great question. Team One is super pitching heavy, so likely Albies and then Scherzer and Cole? Winker or even Correa could be kept, too.

Team Two has Vlad Jr, Jose Ramirez, Franco, or Buehler maybe?

It's not a big deal for me if the draft has to be postponed. I haven't done a bit of research yet lol.

Same, but I'm just scared everyone will draft next Sunday at 7.

Sorry, missed this thread somehow. I'm back and will send :10bux: in a minute.

e: I'm the Space Hamsters



double edit: I see I'm too late. Ah well, good luck to whoever inherited my team!

gently caress I am so sorry. I had to replace you. Now I wish I had delayed the draft another week. This shortened Spring Training sucks.

I'm Haywood's Hurlers. Yeah I have no idea how you keep track of anything with the yearly changing team names and the forum names and whatever paypal shows you lol

I used to have a piece of paper that had it all on it but I've lost it. I am super duper confused and it's probably why I couldn't figure out who wasn't coming back like 4 days before draft :lol:

I started sending out the congratulations and Paypal flagged me for suspicious activity. I am now on hold. Hopefully Paypal lets it go.

Paypal is still reviewing me sending money out. Sigh. Going to try again later.

Edit: Okay the 10 and 30 are both sent and cleared. Don't know what Paypal is waiting on with the 60.

I'm cool with whatever. Also let me know what theme/gimmick you want for next season.

I'm not cool with Paypal still holding the money on the first place winner. Sorry it's still "pending" an investigation.
