Also, have had one drop out so there is still one space left up for grabs.
Last year's third pace team, Ballinlough Bottlers.

If we don't find a taker two days before the draft, will delete the team so their players will all go into draft pool.

I´ll take that place if it's still available.

Invite sent, welcome.

Looks like draft will now be Tuesday at 21:00, now that votes are in

Have set it on league (17:00 EST) and everyone should have gotten email from ESPN

First trade agreed, pleasure doing business with you Emerald Lynch

Chris Davis & Justin Masterson

Rajai Davis & Dan Haren

Also, put up trade block, worthwhile for anyone looking to improve their roster

Eireannach

Pleasure Rob

ESPN's post-draft predictions.

We all saw how that worked out last year but interesting nonetheless.

UCD AFC

Hey guys, just in case anyone was getting worried, I've had a mad week so the lineup was wrong this week but all is good now...back to normal.

Chris Davis is absolutely raking!

hi all, i just accidentally accepted a trade from Rebel Army (Prado for Bradley Jr.) is there any way i can cancel the trade? Hit wrong button on my phone

Masked Man

Don't think so. You can ask him to trade back when it goes through or get players to veto the trade.

Received a private message about this straight after trade went through so am happy to do it. Honest mistake

Just saw this after posted my message and vetoed trade.
If people have a problem with vetoing trade let me know, can take a vote on it.

I believe it's an honest mistake, and league is for fun which is why I agreed to do it. But if people think he should just suck it up due to his own mistake then can understand that point of view too.

I am happy with the veto. We all make mistakes.

I'm grand with vetoing it, seems like an honest mistake.

Yeah genuine error so no problem with league manager using the veto

BigBadRob83

Zack Greinke injured (broken collarbone) in stupid mound charge, and doesn't even get the win.
Head-wrecking

BigBadRob83

Anyone up for increasing the number of DL slots?

Heard a lot of leagues have a few or unlimited DL slots

Can't say no to that. I have 3 batters and 1 pitcher eligible for my slot at the moment.

Carlos Ruiz goes on the DL on Monday afternoon. Get home to find the team locked for the week as there was early games. Evan Gattis on the bench. What does he do? Home run Tuesday, Grand slam Wednesday. Oh well.

The Cavaliers struggling to defend the title this year. It doesn't help when you miss the draft as your plane develops a mechanical fault and has to make an emergency landing at Charles DeGaulle. Admittedly the draft wasn't foremost in my mind during the event but it's repercussions are now being felt throughout the baseball season.

I made the draft, and have been floating between 12th and 14th all season. Making the draft is overrated

BigBadRob83

That's some tough luck dude.

Re the DL vote, can't change mid-season anyway so will update it in the offseason.
League seems to be in favour of it so far.

May have to kick out Hotballs and Seamonkeys for next year. Both zero moves to date, with DL guys in starting spots.

Have jumped from 11th to 7th in a couple of weeks...I'm on the move!

Just 6 games back from last years champions

Wrong thread I think Mike

Worst trade ever, ugh!

BigBadRob83

Congrats to the Rebel Army, won the league at a canter. 125 points out of a possible 140, very impressive.

BigBadRob83

Emailed everyone in the league to check who's back.

Let me know either via the ESPN page or here if you're back in lads.

Thanks,

Rob

Bring on 2014!

gciddy

I'm in! And why not?

UCD AFC

I'm back again for this season - will have more time to watch baseball (and make sure my lineups are done) this year!

Yep I'm in, any spots available out of interest?

Also back.

I'm back. Team is Roto Lynch

fisgon

I'm not going to continue this year, don't really have the time for more than one league. Actually can't remember my team name, as I took over from someone the year before and kept his name. Apologies, will try and look it up if needed.

Kinda32

Happy to be back to try and defend! bring on the new season..

Have set draft so everyone should have gotten email about it by now.

Down to 9 teams after people dropping out and being removed for inactivity last year.

With league so shallow, added couple of roster spots to try and make it more competitive.
Now have 2 catchers (previously 1), 2 Util (1) and 10 pitchers (9).

Keepers lock 1 hour before draft

Adding players makes sense given the low number alright.. From looking at the league page though it seems you have changed pitchers from 9 to 15, as you have added SP and RP??

My bad, fixed that now

BigBadRob83

Also just to note lads, with some of the other teams being deleted there are some very good players available to draft. You don't have to use all of your keeper slots.

Cheers Big Bad Rob,

Just to say that I will be on an evening flight to Dublin again this year but hopefully will avoid last years drama and actually make it to the draft.

Make sure you adjust your pre-draft rankings then, just in case.
Hopefully won't be needed, but just in case.

Found another manager for the 10th team, had his pick of the available teams so he is resurrecting Got The Runs.

BigBadRob83

Lads,

Rosters should be locked until the draft, but can't change settings.

I am going to drop any players you are adding from Free Agency.

You are only allowed keep players who were on your own team last year

Can you reset the waivers then? I used my waiver to pick up players and drop existing players this morning so now my waiver spot is gone, the player I brought in got dropped, and the player I dropped stayed dropped. So now I have the lowest waiver and only 12 players on roster to pick keepers from

Apologies i went on and saw Mike Trout as a free agent and added before thinking! Only saw this note after the fact.

He is on a cant drop list but i have not included him as a keeper so he will be free later on.
