It's looking like the draft will be March 15.

3 people haven't voted. It'll make a difference, so go ahead and vote.

What's with the 2 times on the 15th? I see an asterisk, but didn't see what was going on.

If that date wins, we'll vote again for the time. I am available all day that day so I just put the two times down for flexibility.

Free agents can be acquired twice a week. Wednesday at 11pm and Sunday at 11pm is when they will be processed.

Yes, but it's not real money. You'll start with 250 in FA cash. That's what you have for the year. You bid on the players you want.

Also, only one person has paid their league dues of $20. Please look on the message boards for my PayPal accou.t.

I'll be in by opening day. I just bought 2 items we didn't need the day I joined and didn't want to tell the wife I had to throw $20 out -

There will be 6 teams in the playoffs. I forgot to change that when we went to a 12 team league. The top 3 teams will be paid.

F Me In The Brain

OK, thanks -- with 6 in I think paying top 3 makes more sense.
Had my first draft last night; learned some things and had the first overall pick. Hoping that doesnt happen in any of the other drafts...I fucking hate going first. Picked Trout and had to wait until pick 21 to go again.
Stoked to have Trout though, kid is a champ.

Can't wait for the Phillies to sign him to $35 mil a year when he turns 36

If you get st overall draft Yu Darvish. He should have a monster season. I know I'm looking at Hunter Pence with my first pick.

Lol. Hunter pence sucks!

F Me In The Brain

I picked Josh Hamilton with my last pick (huge bench space there) as a joke flyer -- if he gets a short suspension he is likely more valuable than the other options at the last possible pick.

LOL @ Phillies Mike Trout signing comment. Dont forget that after they sign him their GM would need to talk shit about him in tweets. The Phillies need to fire his ass....yesterday!

I want to be sure to address the issue of trades, mainly vetoes. The league is currently set up as league veto. Which is the way I like it. In almost 20 years of playing in fantasy sports I can honestly say that I've only voted to veto about 4 or 5 trades. I feel that vetoes should be used only when one or two of the teams are obviously cheating.

That being said, if there is a questionable trade and you guys don't vote on it, I will send out an email asking everyone to vote on it. The LMs will ultimately have the final say in those trades and can be vetoed.

We may never have that problem, but I wanted to get that out there now before any trading is done. I don't want it to look like I'm making up the rules as we go along. Like I said before, I rarely vote to veto. The only times I have is when I thought there was cheating. Just because a trade may seem uneven, doesn't make it a vetoable trade.

If you guys have any thoughts on this, please post it in the message boards.

1 pt extra base hit
1 pt run scored
1 pt run batted in
4 pts total bases

7 points total for that AB...correct?

Draft day, I assume we click settings then the draft tab.

What's the Live Draft Lobby under the Fantasy Games tab? We don't go thru there do we?

Empty Glass

one more...is there a game limit per week (7?). A guy could play 8 games in a week, do they count?

You should get an email notification an hour before draft time. On the hone page, it will say something like "your draft is in progress. Click here to enter." When you click on that tab, it will take you to the draft board.

I don't think there is a game limit per week for regular position players. I will double check that to verify

ya know....I'd love to play with you degenerates....but my intense dislike of so many teams would put me in the dumper, for sure. d**gers on my fantasy team? not a fucking chance.

My team name is Dodgers Suck. Team abbreviation is FULA. Not very creative but gets my point across. There will be zero Dodgers on my team. Hopefully there will be zero guys who have even ever worn a Dodger jersey.

My favorite Giants Dodgers moment ever:



Marichal got him good

Is the vote over? Draft time?

Right now, it's 6-3 for 6pm. I'm going to declare 6,/ the winner. Unfortunately, my work has forced me to work Sunday and I will be unavailable until 7. If everyone is ok with pushing it back an hour, it will start at 7. If this causes a huge problem, please let me know and I'll move it back to 6pm. Letme know please.

I'll vote on that once the order is determined.

Seriously, I don't have an issue with 6 or 7.

7 is fine with me as well.
