posty 2,296 Posted February 12, 2014 I'm not following. Are you suggesting those are the only three teams that were active last year? Apologies for being vague... Yes, these were the three teams that could still join to get it up to 14 teams... Invites have been resent to them... Finbabble Garp has been deleted and will not be able to return... If for some reason these three remaining active teams from last year all join and we can't find a 16th team, we could always go roto for the year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted February 12, 2014 I've got a guy who will take Boston if sc doesn't return. He likes the homer concept and in every football league I've been with him he is very active. He will be moving into a temp home and the new house over the summer but I'd vouch for him. He's not on FFT. We'd have to set him up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,296 Posted February 14, 2014 FYI, Know Doubt hasn't been present here since Jan 15... Looks like with the Red Sox replacement, we need to find one other owner to get to 14 if KD doesn't make it back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted February 15, 2014 i can post a thread at the new site, started by that guy who quit last year. maybe someone will be interested (not him). im running a fantasy golf pool over there maybe one of them would want in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted February 15, 2014 Give it a go WW... I would assume that everyone will want the same teams as last year, so make sure that if you do find one, let them know what teams are available... Also, SC's replacement just joined the league, so there are 13 there now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GuardBum 73 Posted February 16, 2014 Teams so far... lambert58 - STL Cardinals ZeroTolerance - DET Tigers cmh6476 - KCR Royals GuardBum - TOR Blue Jays WhiteWonder - TAM Rays Posty - WAS Nationals Burt - ATL Braves BlackClouds - LAA Angels gratefulted - LAD Dodgers Mookz - BAL Orioles Jim Mora - TEX Rangers 29 Guests - HOU Astros loudmuzic (or whatever he signs up here as) - BOS Red Sox (need 1 more) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted February 16, 2014 While we wait for the last team to be settled, we should probably decide on the draft basics so we can get things moving: - how are we setting the regular draft order - how are we setting the supplemental draft order (will it be a weighted lottery system like last year where teams with the worst draft position in the regular draft have a higher chance in the supplemental?) - are we going to set both draft orders at the same time so teams can take their supplemental draft slot into account during the regular draft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted February 16, 2014 This year, rounds 27 and 28 will be for supplemental picks and 26 will be for the first round of exclusives... In the last couple of years, we had to cut players when the supplemental draft happened, this year we won't need to do that by moving up the exclusive list...

It is perfectly feasible for certain teams to draft next to last, and as long as one specific team is that last team behind them, they are still set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 748 Posted February 17, 2014 chiming in late, but I'm glad we're only going with one team. The research into the royals is enough, let alone trying to do that for two teams. Also prefer HTH over roto. With only needing one owner, although Burt suggested not soliciting here, I think we could solicit and just let everyone know we are only looking for one serious owner that is going to be active. Also, go Royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you know you have the #1 draft pick in the supplemental, you might not reach to take a player to fill a slot knowing that you can fix it in the supplemental immediately...

GuardBum 73 Posted February 17, 2014 I have no issue with this. You've managed a team as a fill before and placed a competitive team out each week. The draft could create some unique scenarios should there be correlated players between your teams but I'm sure it could be worked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
