  1. You're not familiar with the team I took over. I kept Wade Davis and Collmenter and one of them nearly made my legal roster due largely to the fact that there were no other SPs to add.
  2. Who are you calling mft, you mft.
  3. Sure. But really smart people tend to be able to adapt. If Theo, Hoyer, etc, were only good at building a team in 1 way and that's no longer allowed, then we're screwed. I don't think that's the case.
  4. I'd say it's an unfair advantage to have 15 pitchers on your team which prevents others from adding those guys. Esp now that we have the "anything to get 7 starts" rule, holding extra SPs screws other teams.
  5. Sorry my bad. Got he and soler confused. Still must be dropped until the draft is over.
  6. It was a great move having opening day start at 4am in the home markets for these teams. ESPN still have the dodger sale as it's headline story at 6am here. Crazy.
  7. You don't have to tell me. I got 4 PM's in addition to searching thru nsbb and cbs and still had conflicting info on the rules. This league seems entirely more complicated than necessary. But it's pretty clear that the prospect draft is still going and that concepcion isn't available this year. You need to drop all those guys you've added.
  8. WTF. You can't add prospects while the draft is going on. And Tim ruled that concepcion isn't available until next year's prospect draft anyway. This is [expletive] insane.
  9. I think he's referring to Tim bumping rosters up really high during the draft. Team pages don't say you're illegal if you have more than 3 reserves now (not that that's an excuse for having 7 or 8 reserves).
  10. Seth Meyers: it's like he fell up a flight of stairs and healed his broken leg.
  11. I thought guys that weren't officially on the DL had to be on your active roster (so I kept Morse on the bench and dropped another player, even though Morse may miss the opener). But other teams have guys on their team DL right now. Are we just skipping week 1 entirely since so many rosters are illegal?
  12. You can see why he needed Wong
  13. Ha. Not uncommon when a business is inaccurately associated with something negative. There was a touch of uproar here when media was reporting that a guy was shot and killed at a local bar when it turns out the 2 guys had recently left said bar and were in a public space/park (20 feet of grass in the city) next door to the bar. DON'T TRASH OUR GOOD NAME WITH MISINFORMATION Is there really such a thing as cease and assist? Or is it supposed to be cease and desist like jersey was implying? No, the guy in the email mispoke. He sent his competitor a cease & desist letter.
  14. I didn't realize people drafted 5-7 more guys than you're allowed. What's the penalty for having an illegal roster tomorrow?
  15. Current list:
  16. Fergie Jenkins was signing at the ST games we attended. They said if you brought him a foul ball or HR ball, he'd sign for free. As we walked in, a vendor gave me an old beat up ball for my young nephew and said it was a HR from bp. So near the end of the game, I asked Fergie to sign it. He gave me a hard time when I told him the vendor told me it was a HR ball but he eventually signed it for free (at one point, I said "they even use new white balls at spring training!?!) A little hard to read over the scuffs and dirt. I gave it back to my nephew and knowing him, it'll end up in the Beast's collection by summer.
  17. No, he wants to trade with you now bc he saw that I picked Wong. He didn't take you up one your offer that's been posted here for more than a day. He only wants to trade bc its the only way he can get Wong. You messed up and if you want to pick a guy other than Wong, go ahead. But I shouldn't lose the guy I want bc you screwed up.
  18. No. Suddenly you want to trade with truffle bc due to his mistake you know the guy you want won't be there. I'm going to pretty strongly object to that.

  20. Or just pass so we can move on...
  21. The thread fizzled but it seems like we should just apply the eligibility rules we have. So after they've played enough games under the rules, they'll get eligibility. But you can use Feliz as a RP to get his 1 start under the "anything to get to 7" rule, I think.
  22. Right. I'm asking bc truffle traded with Tim and raisin but it was only a draft pick swap. So I didn't know if the no trade ban only applied to player trades.

  24. So wait, no trades? Does that only apply to trading players?
  25. I'm a definite in R3 and maybe R4. Can we shorten the time between picks now? Not that many people are picking and many have said it depends. 24 hours seems like much too long now.
