WhiteWonder 2,237 Posted January 19, 2019 Super early but still.... is everyone returning? Would anyone or everyone be interested in putting small stakes on the league this year? 20 dollars each, pay out 1st (200) 2nd (100) and 3rd (20) ? Just an idea. Not a lot of investment for a full baseball season and we have had smaller markets contending lately... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbascom 20 Posted January 19, 2019 I'm in and would be down for a $20 buy in this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burt 44 Posted January 19, 2019 I'm in. But if Trump never pays me my money, I wont be able to do the $20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookz 1,291 Posted January 25, 2019 In. My $20 would be nothing more than a donation for the foreseeable future (I uhh, I have the O's), but if that's what the league decides, I'm okay with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lambert58 56 Posted February 1, 2019 I'm in. (Is edjr holding the money? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted February 6, 2019 Yeah I'm in. Exclusives dwindling with the current Jays management but maybe they'll sign someone and/or not just wait until mid-season to bring up some of this youth. I'd love to give the top three a portion of $20. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Mora 26 Posted February 7, 2019 In, and happy to contribute $20 to someone else 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,237 Posted February 11, 2019 my idea was 14x20? 1st 160? 2nd 80? 3rd 40? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burt 44 Posted February 13, 2019 I'm in for now, but after further consternation, replace me if we go pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lambert58 56 Posted February 18, 2019 I'm fine with whatever we do. Would prefer to keep Burt though. Do we have everyone coming back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,237 Posted February 19, 2019 Yeah I mean I'd rather keep everyone than make it pay.. I didn't think 20 dollars over an MLB season was a big price... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burt 44 Posted February 19, 2019 Its not the cost....$20 isnt going to break me. I'd just rather not put money into a league that will likely have 2-3 dead teams (therefore giving advantage to a few teams over others) by August. I'm not suggesting you guys refrain from making it a pay league. If a majority want to go that route, by all means, that's the way it should go. I'd just personally rather not do it because I'm already in a couple of high dollar leagues. I've always viewed this one as a reprieve from the day to day "stress" of those. I'm not trying to talk you guys out of it. Just telling you where I'm coming from on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 778 Posted February 19, 2019 I would rather go optional on the cash prize. Too many lopsided teams either on the really good or really bad side. I'll never have enough quality SP to ever really compete here. But if some owners wanted to voluntarily play for a ball hat of the MLB team represented to the winner or something I'd be up for something like that.

cmh6476 778 Posted February 19, 2019 we also need to get a little serious about this if we are going to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted February 19, 2019 Need to confirm a few more teams here. About a week from the usual starting period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,237 Posted February 20, 2019 lets just keep things as is... my brother will return he is just mulling over if he wants to own the Cubs again this season (not his favorite team but he took them over in a pinch in 2017?) as much as $20 isn't a big amout for the course of a season (its the same as playing for a ball-cap) $20 also doesnt really move the needle, so why bother? keep things status quo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbascom 20 Posted February 24, 2019 As long as WhiteWonder's brother is in as the CHC's or someone else, it looks like everyone has confirmed they are in except for Shotsup at this point. Anyone have a contact for him? Let's get this ball rolling! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burt 44 Posted February 28, 2019 Anyone having trouble getting email notifications from here?

bbascom 20 Posted March 1, 2019 So still 7 more teams to roll just to set the draft order, including shotsup and we never heard from him. Is someone else sitting out if he doesn't show up or are we going to try to replace him quickly. I feel like we need to get moving on this pretty soon now. Thoughts?

Anyone have contact with shotsup at all? Just looked back to lay year's threads. We started the draft on March 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,237 Posted March 4, 2019 ive had no response from shotsup. and we are now approaching the time where we need to get moving. should i post at the geek club seeing if anyone is interested in joining? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,316 Posted March 4, 2019 If you really are needing one to replace shots to fill the league, I guess I could do it... I would take the Nationals... But if you find someone else is interested, please take them... Just make me joining a decision if you have absolutely no other way to go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 778 Posted March 4, 2019 league has been renewed, rolling now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted March 4, 2019 So WW, does your brother want to take the Mets since it appears shotsup is out? And if Posty (Nationals) or someone else is coming in... we need those rolls so we can set a draft order and teams. We can start this Sunday night/Monday morning.
