Who are your buyers?

 

There's literally only one person (dinger) who has more vacant spots than picks right now.

There will be more after prospects get cut. You said yourself you were likely to cut Banuelos and acquire a pick! Makes sense to cut Goodwin too IMO.

And I've had offers from 4 teams. I'm not a motivated buyer either, I'm fine with only carrying 11 prospects. If someone meets my asking price, a deal can get done.

I have the same stance. It's undeniable that it's a buyers market right now. Sellers are the ones facing picks that will dissolve into nothing.

Yes, but I anticipate a minor downgrade in the 40s for an additional 50s/60s pick.

That would only work for a seller with too many high picks, the 50s/60s pick being their last. Which doesn't really describe anyone.

Posturing. You and FTD will be singing a very different tune in 11 hours.

I probably come closest to that description but FTD's picks are too low for even his highest pick to be of any use to me. Same problem with BTS his picks are so low that a 2 for 1 only helps him and does nothing for me.

Even in said scenario, it would make infinitely more sense for us to go to Havok/Hurl/Gibbers for a pick. They each have 7+ picks and a packed farm. I'm sure they would give away their later picks for next to nothing. You have vacant space so you would probably charge more.

I have pick 86 projected to vaporize, if anyone wants gives me even a 1 pick upgrade at 41, 50 or 52 it's yours.

 

If only I had 40 instead of 42.

If I were to promote a prospect, would a Commissioner insert him into NA for me? I'd prefer not to drop a player to do it.

 

Hypothetically; I haven't made any decisions yet.

You can't add directly into NA as a commish. If there is a way, I'm yet to find it.

 

Didn't we have a discussion on why it's a good thing that you can't do that?

That was w.r.t. trades... not promotions. Promotions are a completely artificial construct created by our Constitution. Not a Yahoo thing.

 

No.

Okay. Would I be able to delay my adding of the prospect by a day? I.e., I announce that I'm promoting the prospect and tomorrow I add him.

My inclination is to say no. I'll wait for another Darrell to weigh in.

Alright. People have probably done it before, I'm just not sure if it's official protocol.

 

Don;t pick dissolve when they come up anyway? Why would you bother announcing them now

The email says that they dissolve into the ether at 11:59 PM tonight. There was talk of letting them exist until they come up but I don't think anything was decided.

Nah, you've got to actually promote him by the deadline. Sorry dude. I don't want to give someone wiggle room that is going to give them some kind of tactical advantage in a current matchup.

Excess picks dissolve as soon as the deadline passes. When we put together the draft list, all surplus picks will not be added to the list.

 

Last year we did the same thing. Actually, we might have had them disappear as soon as the draft started, but it doesn't matter, same thing.

Anthony Ranaudo is getting cut, unless someone wants him for basically any draft pick upgrade.
