Thanks

 

Pena transaction is completed.

 

However, you cannot change your WC pick until the All Star Break. Therefore, you still have one transaction remaining in the first half of the season.

Ah. OK thanks.

 

I did have a question in terms of when a transaction takes place. Do I start getting the other guys HR's immediately once I post the transaction, the following day it goes into effect or once you see it and make the change. I don't care either way but just would like to know.

From the rules and sign-up thread:

 

RULES

 

Throughout the season, you may make 4 adds/drops to your core roster of 11 players. The following rules apply to adds/drops:

 

--You must drop a player to add another player. A drop/add is one transaction.

 

--You must post your transaction in the HR Derby transaction thread. The transaction becomes effective at midnight CT the day you post it. You will accrue the dropped player's HRs in any game started by midnight CT that day. You will accrue the added player's HRs for any games starting after midnight CT the next day.

--No transactions between the deadline on April 2 and noon CT on April 4 and after noon CT September 18.

 

--If you only post an add without a drop or there's any other problem deciphering your intent, the transaction isn't finalized until it's straightened out.

 

--You may make 2 transactions before the All-Star Game and 2 transactions after the All-Star Game. These transactions apply only to the core roster and not the WC player. It's use or lose it -- if you don't make 2 transactions before the All-Star Game, you still only get 2 transactions afterwards.

 

--The player added must be drawn from the same group as the player dropped.

 

--No clones. You can't have the same player more than once.

 

--MLB rules for stats will be followed for any games postponed, suspended, etc.

 

--You can only change your WC player once and only at the All-Star break ... so choose carefully!

 

--I will be providing updates every Sunday morning throughout the season. If you have any scoring questions, please post them in the discussion thread or PM me. Final decisions on scoring are up to me.

If only Kelly Johnson had two more HRs last year and made it into Group D he'd probably be getting a lot of adds now. He's already matched his entire HR output for last year.

[Derwood]

so everyone but me took Jason Heyward as their WC, and I took Matt LaPorta (who has 0 HR and has been benched)

 

FML, no wonder I'm in second to last place

[NCCubFan]

I'm moving up a bit.

Now, now... to be fair, 10 other people also passed on Jason Heyward. :-"
