Aren't you inactive in our basketball redraft league? I'm all for new players, but please don't be inactive in this. It ruins it for everyone else.

Yeah, I have been inactive in the basketball league and that's 100% on me. Sorry about that and I def won't be it in next year. I've just been really busy with some irl stuff etc. I def won't be inactive with baseball though I can promise you that.

Guys don't unnecessarily sling arrows at Kamran. I'm in contact with him pretty regularly so if I see him (or anyone else for that matter) slacking in managing their team I can talk with them and/or handle it mid-season.

Does the current time but one week earlier work for everyone? I understand cb aaron judge would have to draft via mobile but unless we do it on the 24th early in the morning (EDT) then I think that's the only time that everyone can at least be there.

23rd at 9 is iffy for me. That day there's a expiry scheduled so I'll be working later than normal and this will be my first time doing this process so I don't know when I'll be done

 

[kamranlaker]

I'm good with both times on either day

 

[biggie]

I updated the spreadsheet. I left the outdated prices in the chart so you can compare, but focus on rightmost column F for your 2018 keeper draft costs.

Link again here for reference.

EDIT: DISREGARD MY PREVIOUS UNAVAILABILITY.

I am in fact available Saturday 3/24. Looks like that's the best day for everyone?

biggie I think k your total keeper cost is calling the wrong rows, by the values you have listed my total keep cost should be 76 but is listed at 89.5 (of this is what you were referring to about columns I think it's still incorrect because my keeper cost would have gone up from the auction price revaluation)

Yeah I just fixed it.

 

[kamranlaker]

My 6 keepers are Justin Verlander, Nelson Cruz, Anthony Rendon, Elvis Andrus, Rich Hill, and Dee Gordon

 

[biggie]

For posterity, I will be keeping:

Gary Sánchez NYY - C // 13.50 13.00
Manny Machado Bal - 3B // 20.00
Yasiel Puig LAD - OF // 6.50 7.00
Sean Doolittle Was - RP // 4.00
Yu Darvish ChC - SP // 12.00
Aaron Hicks NYY - OF // 0.50 1.00

Any interest in trading Sanchez's retainer rights?

Any interest in trading Sanchez's retainer rights?

How does that work? The trade goes before the season? Also why would you do that when trading during the season makes more sense?

EDIT: Also for posterity's sake, pookar's keepers are as follows:

Daniel Murphy Was - 2B // 11.00
Justin Turner LAD - 3B // 9.00
Wil Myers SD - 1B // 10.00
Zack Greinke Ari - SP // 15.00
Gio González Was - SP // 1.00
Yoán Moncada CWS - 2B // 2.00

for a total of $48.00

I would assume you trade rights (A) for some combination of rights (B) and auction money, I suspect these are things you could administrate as commissioner if my football commishing is anything to go by.

As for going before season you'd effectively be trading off a season of new retainer eligibility for certainty in draft plans.

On my end I just saw you were retaining Sanchez who I have some interest in and thought I'd raise the question

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Once people draft player movement tends to get sticky as people get hyped about their team, can often be easier to work trades through before rosters are set

As of this moment I don't have any interest in trading Sanchez away. There's really nothing on your roster that you're not already keeping that intrigues me, and the cost savings for Sanchez is too good to pass up.

My keepers are open for discussion

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

I was thinking Syndergaard for Sanchez would be rather reasonable

 

[Del Rio]

I'll be switching out Trout for JD Martinez in my keepers

Only catching this now, but there's something definitely not right about Martinez. He has $0 projected cost.

Edit: Yeah, his actual projected cost is $28, so you can keep him for $14 if you'd like. Does this mean I no longer have to pepper my anus?

Not that it matters since he can't be kept, but I updated Arrieta's projected amount also. He was @ $0. Basically the big FAs that just signed had something wrong with them.

 

[ButteredToast]

biggie I'm still good with my keepers after the update unless there is an injury between now and Monday.

 

[biggie]

Currently set the draft time for Saturday, March 24th at 8:30 PM EDT. Please let me know immediately if you can't make the draft. Paging Vancouver Victini's as well because I haven't heard from you.

 

[biggie]

Still need keepers from cb aaron judge Imanalt and Vancouver Victini's this is for my own reference.

This is fine. Pepper it anyway

Right in the middle of me and Stall's other draft. Can it be moved to 9:30?

Yeah we can do it, but now that our other league draft time has been set, an hour later would be perfect for us. Juggling multiple drafts at once ain't fun, especially when one is an auction.

 

[Imanalt]

I'll keep:
Domingo Santana: 7.0
Jose Ramirez: 13.0
Freddie Freeman: 15.0
Aaron Nola: 9.5
Jacob DeGrom: 12.0
Bryce Harper: 27.0
For a total of 83.5 (rounds to 84)

RIP my cubs core of arrieta and kris bryant :(

 

[cb aaron judge]

keeping:
archer: 8.50
bregman: 22
buxton: 9.50
quintana: 13

[biggie]
