Just post any pickups from the draft in here and we will place them later. Ok?

This is my last year in this league, not sure if would help you guys to know this now. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Just not fun anymore. It seems like only the same 4-5 teams are really into it. Without other teams actively participating it is impossible to trade and/or improve.
Sorry.

The activity level isn't bad. Most teams have made a free agent move recently. I'm enjoying trying to scout minor leaguers.
I have OF to trade if anyone is interested. Looking for 2B or SP, young ones preferrably.

I haven't gotten a trade offer since mid season last year, and I've had trades pending at times for more than 2 weeks. nuff said brotha! Not my doing, I've tried.

It's hard to tell where teams are coming from this early, so you can't really be sure if someone is looking to move a vet for a prospect right now. Trust me, there have been discussions on our side about bringing in Verlander. We just need some pieces to fall in right on both of our teams for us to make our move. Right now you'd require pieces that we just can't move and remain in the dash for the cash.It's weird that you're getting that reaction on deals. I've made quite a few offers and the response was prompt. Of course it was like me going for a dunk against Dwight Howard **REJECTED** but they were all civil about it.(and of course the obligatory "Shake wait...")

Could one of you guys PM me your rules/constitution? Looking to start a dynasty baseball league. I've only done keepers in baseball.

I totally understand. Not your fault. League has changed and it's just not my type of league in terms of involvement and activity anymore. If it was free I'd stick around and keep trying but not worth blowing money with no chance of ever getting better

Don't have the juice this year. Too many hitters ailing and Eephus keeps cherry picking all the closers.

The guy must have RSS feeds for 200 relief guys. Once I was watching a game and saw something which made me believe a guy was gonna be a closer soon, and I go to the league and Eephus had picked him up 20 minutes earlier. Uncanny.

You dont do FAAB for a dynasty league? Thats pretty harsh.
Doctor Detroit
Please remove your headgear
We really should have one going forward. We went to weekly waivers and everyone cried like 4-year-olds led by Finless. Eephus plucking every single closer candidate should change hearts and minds, but I won't hold my breath. We should have weekly FAAB, that's it. Rosters are 36 deep, you should never have to worry about injuries.You dont do FAAB for a dynasty league? Thats pretty harsh.

A few ideas about this league:I think we should go to a keeper after this season. True dynasties suck and there is too much turnover. I'm in another league and here are the rules:
We could also have expanded rosters for minor leaguers. For example you could keep guys longer for the league minimum ($1) as long as they were not in the majors. Then those players would start the normal contract status the day they were called up. So you'd have them for their first two years of service at a bargain basement price (or whatever you paid for them). For guys with good teams (I'm one of them) we could set prices for keepers going to next season at say $7 to $15 so teams could keep some of the advantage they've already built. We could have people choose either $7 contracts and that contract would start in year three, or $15 contracts that would start in year one. So for example I have Morneau. I want to keep him as long as possible so I select the 5 year deal starting at $15 knowing I'll have to give him a $7 raise after year two and year four. Maybe for a guy like Soriano, I give him a $7 contract knowing he's older and I might not want him past year 4. Whatever, just throwing ideas out there. I don't think I'll be back next year if we don't change it up and some of these bottom feeding teams are really bad. having daily FCFS is also a horrible idea for this kind of league, might as well just do a redraft if you want to do FCFS.

I like the FCFS format a lot. Simple and straightforward. Most of the pickups are long-term speculative anyway and not affected by recent info. The exception would be closer candidates, but it's not like Eephus is crushing us all by getting to them early.
Not really interested in any sort of contract system, especially for a league that's had the same format for a few years.
My team sucks now but I think they'll be competitive within a year or two and I'd like to see that out under the current format. If the league isn't going to survive I'd rather know now so I don't waste any more time on it.

This league won't be folding. I would be open to dropping from dynasty to 10 keepers if everyone wants it but I think we are fine. I went from celler to first in a short time.

The more I think about it the more I'm alright with burying this league. If I get an offer or a counter offer it's usually something like that.Really? A mediocre outfielder and a guy with nothing but potential for a future first ballot hall of famer in the prime of his career. I like Jennings but he's no lock to do anything. Could be BJ Upton redux...maybe not even that good. I'm sure I'll hear "it's a starting point". A ridiculous low ball offer is never a good starting point imo.

My thoughts:1. No it's not2. N/A3. N/A4. I was gonna try to make a decent offer but I can't figure out how Cabrera is eligible at 3B.5. Well then stop picking up all the crap closers.6. I like keeping everyone, even my terrible players.7. I didn't, but that's pretty awesome.
