Dynasty Fantasy Baseball League Thread - Page 2 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

Also, the majority of people would like the MLB auction to start on Friday. This will require everyone to check in at least once or twice a day to post players, and make bids. Because I originally said we would start it later, I will postpone it to the original date of a week on Friday if it would cause anyone big problems to start early.

Pretty much any time works for me as long as somebody AIMs me to let me know what's going on. I'm online at work all day.

At the end of the season that he loses rookie eligibility, you have to decide whether to sign him to a rookie contract or release him.

If you don't sign a player, he earns no salary, and cannot be used - if you want him to play, you have to sign him.

Rookie contracts are 3 years at $3/year.

Thanks.

Doesn't matter - you can check in whenever you like.

I have a bad feeling that I'm going to do badly in this.

Please to be drafting lots of Cubs then. I do realize how tough is is to like anyone on the Cubs, though.

I wonder how much it would cost to buy the entire Cubs roster in the auction.

Already hands down the best fantasy league I've been in. So complex and well thought out. My only hope is that people don't go veto happy, fastest way to kill a league and make people more hesitant to make trades. Feel free to skype me OTP if you want to discuss the auction, or if anyone wants to discuss trades this year.

no, it started today. we were allowed to post one day early before bidding started, so those players still have plenty of time left, over 20 hours left to bid on.

This seems like it's going to take forever because of the staggered times everyone is probably checking the auction at. Hopefully we're done by opening day. ;/
