Due to a combination of several personal and family issues, I don't think I will be adequately able to run my team next year. Too many other things have cropped up in the last couple years that have eaten away my time, and I've really just drifted away from following any baseball the last 9 months.

 

I just want to be clear that this has nothing to do with the recent rules issues or anyone in particular (and Adam, I wasn't ignoring your offers, and was seriously considering them), or the fact my team tanked this year. I made the trades I made on purpose to clear a lot of points going into next year with the plan to buy low on an A-list player or two from the few teams I knew would be over for points. This team has potentially over 1000 points to play with, so I could afford anyone.

 

This is the most intense, fun fantasy league I've been involved in, and don't come to the decision lightly. I'm also not opposed to taking over in future years should a team become available (even this one). Just too much crap going on right now and in the foreseeable future that I need to compromise some hobbies to make time elsewhere.

I've posted a general interest post to replace Bukie in the Fantasy leagues forum.

 

If anyone has someone they would like to see added, please contact me as soon as possible. I'd like to get this spot filled sooner rather than later. We are only a little over 2 months from needing to pare down rosters.

 

If anyone besides Bukie is taking a season off, please let me know.

 

Looking forward to another fun season of fantasy baseball. I'll post on the league message board, also so that everyone gets an email notice about the need for new manager(s).

Have yet to hear from Navin, DeShawn, Adam and Vick on whether they are playing this coming season. I'm assuming yes on Navin, DeShawn and Adam, but don't know Vick well enough to know one way or another if he is keeping his team.

 

I renewed the league at $149.99, so I basically need $9.00 from each manager.

 

Unfortunately, I do not do paypal, so you'll have to send me a check at:

 

 

Brian Frankland

P.O. Box 19848

San Diego CA 92159

 

I'd like to receive each manager's check by February 14th. I'll have Tito break your fingers if you are late with your 9 beans.

I've been in trade discussions with Navin, so I think your assumption that he's returning is safe.

 

I'll send my payment once I return home from vacation next week, so Tito and my fingers won't need to be introduced to each other. :D

Perfect. Just need to hear from Adam, Vick and find that replacement for Kevin.

 

ETA: Anyone know why Juan charged us $14.00? Even if it was $199.99 instead of $149.00 and we covered his portion for being the commish, it's still not $14.00.

 

I have this vision of Juan now living in this lavish retirement community (for young people, of course), smoking a cigar and sipping scotch while telling tales of how he made his millions acting as commissioner of a fantasy baseball league. :D

I've always sent Juan $10.

Hmm. Maybe that's all I've sent him, too. Why does $14.00 sound so familiar, I wonder.

Yeah, I've only been mailing him $10.00. I take back all the evil things I ever said about him. :D

That might have been from another league you were involved in for a short time. 8-[

Oh, maybe that's it. Worst $14.00 I ever spent.

Sorry, didn't see this earlier. I'm definitely in.

 

I've also been sending Juan $10. Let me know when and where and I'll send you the money.

He posted that information earlier in this thread (if I counted correctly it's the 7th post in this thread).

And that's what I get for skimming this thread.

I could probably handle a team this year.

Let me try one more time to get in touch with Vick. If anyone else knows him, please help me reach him. I'm not asking for any contribution to his team at this time. I just need to know he is playing again this season. He's the only one.

 

If Vick is playing, then you can have Kevin's team, Juan. If Vick isn't playing, you can pick between the two.
