HGH and Centaur Paintings is back for another season. Greetings from Italy, noted baseball powerhouse and home to famous Italian baseball hurler Matt Harvey.



Feel free to name your team after anything honoring this proud nation and its wonderful people.

: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. Four 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 19th at 7:00PM EST. This should give enough time for players to get injured in the WBC and Spring Training and still give you a week to trade the five DHs you drafted before opening day.

I must've missed the email, but I'm in again. I was Luxury Tax Evaders last year.

Paypal $$ sent

I think ESPN's mail system sucks. I remember this happening last season.

Ok good I am running out of WBC countries and themes. All we have left is China.

Quoting myself from the old thread.

I don't think it's as important as ending before week 18 in football, but it definitely was lame having a half full lineup on the last day of the season last year. I would suggest that we end on Sunday, 9/24.

ESPN's settings only give the option of having 1 or 2 week playoffs per round, so it'd end 9/17.

Oh. That's too early. If that's the case, I'd say forget it then.

Yeah I wish I could manually set it. It's a bummer.

Ok I have no clue who the Chicago Handshakes were from last year, I sent another site mail to them and am trying to figure out which user it was from here. Hoping they come back or I have to find a new owner.

Ok I have deduced that user DeepDickPizza is the owner of the last team I haven't heard from. He doesn't have PMs on here :(

Sorry. I replied to your email. I’m good to return if nobody has tried to claim my team. If they have, my loss for forgetting to check the subforum this week. :(

The ESPN email system is so bad I think only like 2 people got the email asking if they were coming back. I'm not kidding.

Glad you're back dude.

The Syracuse team didn't have their keepers set so I choose the top three according to ADP: Soto, Burnes, and Goldschmidt.

I'm seeing Goldschmidt as available FYI. Did it keep someone else?

Edit: Woodruff was kept FYI.

Yeah I think he set his own afterward which is awesome.

My pleasure. Since I was doing my procrastinated taxes, it reminded me to do other things that I forget about that actually take no time at all, like paying fantasy dues for all my leagues.

Hope you get some sweet refunds.

Money has been sent to the winners. This time Paypal did not flag my transaction and ask me for Alex Rodriguez's birthdate.

Also I had no business getting second place; the H2H gods will exact vengeance on me next season
