I know we were pushing everything back because we didn't have 13 owners. Now that we do (keep in mind season starts April 2) we might wanna consider moving this up a few days? A 3/17 start gives us right at two weeks which is kinda pushing it.

Just send a PM to Exit (Exitonly), or hitting him up on Slack will probably work too. Today is just the deadline for cuts from your minor-league roster; as just noted, major-league roster cuts aren't due for a couple of weeks.

PM Exitonly

He manages the google sheet.

Yeah, I just checked and we gave ourselves three weeks for the auction last year. And I think we needed most of it.

Two weeks seems like not enough.

ok ya good points, and like stated before, if these overlap it s not a big deal. So what about starting rookie draft tomorrow and MLB auction on 3-13? have auction cuts in on 3-11?

I think that works. We've had overlap before without much of an issue.

good with me

DanVH and I have a swap: Dallas Keuchel for my second-round rookie draft pick this year (2.3).

Submitting votes, and I'll have my rookie cuts in today:

1) Abandon lightning round picks, if you end the rookie draft with less than 10 rookies on your roster so be it

2) Rookie eligible players can be picked up in-season provided they are not on a roster. They would be dropped at end of season and back into the player pool

3) no change

4) no change

5) no change

6) 12hr

sorry guys had some funeral stuff to deal with past week. I'll make time to process rookie cuts tonight and send PMs to whoever hasnt submitted.

gophils, you prob can't PM me yet with your post count? if so hit me up on slack with the cuts, or i can give an email for you to send them.

as for moving auction up, that's cool, i have to set up the auction page after we get cuts in, will try and do that stuff quick.

she can PM

also change bluff and srm's names to their new owners

Guys I may or may not renew. In any case, they're available for a late pick or whatever.
Pedroia
Greinke
McCann
Gutierrez
Boyd
Koehler
Mahtook

More valuable, but available:
Roark
Jaime Garcia

Could move some of these, if you like them:
Teheran
Carlos Martinez
Tim Anderson

Come correct, or don't bother. They will need elite guys who are already in the bigs and/or the toppest prospects around:
Michael Trout
Xander Bogaerts

I still plan to compete this year, so I'm looking for guys who are likely to have jobs this year. Needs are 2B, 3B, OF, C.

I'm still looking to deal one of my catchers (Swihart, Zunino, Rupp).

Unrelated to that, I'm looking for a MI or CI and Saves.

I am running a few other drafts on CM - if you need me to help with anything on that front let me know I can do it. Thanks

Ray

1 abandon lightning round picks
2 idk
3 keep the same
4 keep it
5 keep it
6 12-24

Who do we think Edwin Escobar - C is?

I know of no catching prospects named Escobar. It's probably the former Red Sox prospect who is now dust? If so cut

Yeah sorry Exit. Thanks again for everything.

ok, slight mess up by me in that I deleted PM's as I processed them, so I don't really know who to PM to get any unsubmitted teams.

Good news is everyone is legal. we should be in fine shape to start rookie draft.. I think if someone sends me cuts that I don't remember seeing by end of 1st round it's fine to process them - would be pretty mindblowing to me if a cut affected the draft all let alone the 1st round.

So, GoPhils can pick imo.

--

The sooner I get all the active roster cuts the sooner we can get the auction started, so get those in whenever you finish them - will set a deadline if need to. fyi my cuts are 95% done, I won't look at any active roster cut PMs until I finish/send them to ndfan in the next couple of days.



edit:

oh yea, I re-alphabetized the main roster page, so a few teams have shifted spots, don't freak out if your team isn't where you remember it.

I could also move Urias or Tim Anderson but they would both only be available in deals where I got a similar player at a different position back.

Rookie draft 2017 pick 1.1 Kevin Maitan, SS ATL

too late have already freaked out

Alekhine8 emailed me his pick:

1.2 Nick Senzel, 3b CIN
