HGH and Centaur Paintings is back for another season. Greetings from American Labor Hell where billionaires are broke and workers have it too good. Feel free to name your team after literally anything stupid that happened in the past 130 days. Greedy owners, stupid capitulating players, Ken Rosenthal becoming a Bolshevik, owners, unions, the ghost of Marvin Miller crying, whatever.  Stupid Special Rules There is a  fee, with the money divvied up 60/30/10 to the first, second, and third place teams respectively. Every year the winner has been paid so your ten dollars are safe with me.Mandatory 3 Keeper rule: You must keep 3 players before the draft, despite how lovely your roster is. If you don't keep three players I will select them for you based upon average draft position. This is an ESPN league with 80% goons in it. Scoring is Batting Average, HR, RBI, R, BBs, and SBs on offense. Ks, Wins, Saves, Holds, ERA, and WHIP on pitching. We use the Free Agent Auction System which results in hilarious overpays for waiver wire guys and dudes that get called up for one start and then sent back down. This is the current roster size. Three seasons ago we added a 4th OF which helped prevent the glut of good OFs sitting on the waiver wire. DRAFT DATE: We're hoping to draft Sunday, March 27th at 7:00PM EST. Hopefully I won't mess up the time zones this time. Because Spring Training is super short there's not a lot of time to draft but let me know if this time absolutely doesn't work for some of you.

I am/was Bilbo BABIPs and I'm back even though I've run my roster into the ground. Maybe I should take that unowned team and let some other goon inherit my pile of poo poo. What is your Venmo or Paypal?

Woohoo baseball! I was Orgrimmar Warchiefs and I'm back too, jury is still out on whether I'll do some actual preparation for the draft because there is literally no time lol. Draft date and time is perfect, I hope it stays where it is. What I'm looking forward to most is not having Trevor loving Bauer on my team any more

I sent one invite out, but we have two openings now, and it's likely the draft will have to be delayed unless I can find owners.

Who are the logical keepers for each unowned team? I could try and get some non-goons in, but they'd probably want to know what they're getting into.

Team One is super pitching heavy, so likely Albies and then Scherzer and Cole? Winker or even Correa could be kept, too. Team Two has Vlad Jr, Jose Ramirez, Franco, or Buehler maybe?

Oh I shoulda posted here earlier to add this thread to my bookmarks, forgot I reached out via PM. I'm okay with a delayed draft fwiw, I can make it work this weekend but I'd be juggling a few tasks and maybe distracted/afk at certain moments. I can ask around for recruits in my non-baseball leagues, but they're mostly goons so I imagine they'd have poked their head in here already if interested.

It's not a big deal for me if the draft has to be postponed. I haven't done a bit of research yet lol.

I've been getting absolutely crushed at work. Just keep the tradition alive, and jump out to an early lead before crashing in flames halfway through the season.

I am super duper confused and it's probably why I couldn't figure out who wasn't coming back like 4 days before draft
