kysar_soze 7 Posted January 23, 2021 It's about time to start the discussion about the league. Still lots up in the air - let's hope that we have a more normal year and we are able to get back to fans safely being able to come to games, less injuries and mess.

TalentScout 2 Posted February 18, 2021 I finally figured out how to log in and Torn had tasked me with feeling out interest. Looks like y'all were way ahead of that. Anywhoodles I am in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted February 21, 2021 Sorry for my absence, guys - had an opportunity to take a vacation in Florida and took it. It had been forever since I had some time off. I had 3 trips get cancelled due to the pandemic and a medical emergency in the family, so I REALLY needed to get away. Thanks for getting this thread started. I am in. I'm number 9 of 12. Still need to hear from posty, Varga and Kittys. I'll ping them... I've got a lot of work to do to get all of the data together for the season. I did renew the league, so the Yahoo site should already be up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted February 22, 2021 I do hope we didn’t up the amount of keepers this year. I know there was some talk of some rule changes and I felt like we drafted with the covid shortened season in mind a bit and if we did want to make those changes it should be for 2022. Admittedly I don’t remember exactly the rule changes that were being discussed. edit: I guess the 6th keeper rule is already set. It was changing formats that I was also against.

Torn 42 Posted February 23, 2021 Yes, we voted in a 6th keeper for this season. Outside of that, there won't be any drastic changes to settings or format this season. The drum beat for roto continues, so we will definitely vote on that and any other changes for the 2022 season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torn 42 Posted February 23, 2021 OK, still no word from Kittys. Not sure of his status, but will give him another ping and another day or two. Talent Scout - I think you mentioned that you may have a friend who wanted in if needed. Let's put him on alert. It seems like he'll have a spot, be it with Kitty's or Posty's team.

I ask because it looks like that they might need a 14th in the Homers league and if they can't find a replacement (WW is in the league), I said I would step in again... If that is the case, then I would probably bite the bullet and play in the Dugout league... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TalentScout 2 Posted February 23, 2021 Posty, not trying to put words in your mouth but for me, Manfred and the Asterisks and now Mather are really making me angry at baseball. Anywho, I am totally in but Posty I get your "heart not being in it" sentiment. I just reached out to my buddy, he is in. How do I loop him in? *edit* I did tell my friend that he would be taking over the league champion team so he would have a solid roster.*end edit* For the keepers I have quite a stable of young controllable talent. Anybody interested in any of: Kyle Tucker, Yu Darvish, Jose Berrios, Dinelson Lamet, Justus Sheffield, Luis Severino, Lance McCullers, Michael Kopech, Ohtani (pitcher)? I think y'all have my number if you want to text about any of these. Just looking for draft picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would have to have him register and then when he has, post his name in here and then someone can reach out to Mike FFToday and ask him to validate the login...

Torn 42 Posted February 24, 2021 Just heard back from Kittys and he is OUT, so we have another slot to fill. So, we can either have TS's friend take over Kitty's team and beg Posty to stay on OR seek out another manager if anyone has a person in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know keeper status, but mine doesn't look at good after dropping rounds 1-5... This was Kitty's finishing roster...

TalentScout 2 Posted February 24, 2021 I haven't heard of 12 of those players without researching them. I might be the wrong person to evaluate how good a team is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to review more deeply, but at a minimum, LeMahieu, Pollock and Sale are clear keeper values. Depending on his feelings re: bullpen guys, there are a couple of potential values there as well.

Are we going to use the dice roll method (like what is used every year in the Homers league) and the highest roll get the #1 pick? Not the pick to make where they want to draft, the actual #1 pick... Since last year was a fustercluck and not everyone participated in the brackets last year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
