A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Fearthedoc]

Can someone remind me how we determine which green flags can be added directly from free agency and which can't?

Any MLB games played = free to add right now

 

No games = can only be drafted in the NPD

 

During the season, when an unowned player debuts they will be subject to "debut waivers" or free to add at 8 PM Eastern Time on the second day after their debut (I still need to rewrite our rules for the new setup).

 

We are done with the whole AA/AAA thing we used to do.

[Laika]

I amended the league rules in anticipation of our transition which is almost complete.

 

Everybody should review them. Other > League Rules Summary > scroll to bottom and see League Message.

 

Let me know if I forgot anything that was discussed!

Thanks that's what I was expecting but wanted to ask in case there were any tweaks this offseason!

[Fearthedoc]

I would like to start getting in some conversations for J.T. Realmuto, Whit Merrifield, and Carlos Santana (all available at different price points).

 

I am looking for youth (MLB ready or farm talent).

 

Hit me up if you have interest!

[Laika]

Please review the new rules. Let me know if I missed anything new...

 

1. League Basics

 

1.1 20 teams; 4 divisions of 5 teams; 8 teams make the playoffs, being the 4 division winners and 4 wildcards.

1.2 This is a 7x7 league with R-H-HR-RBI-SB-OBP-SLG and W-SV-HLD-K-ERA-OBPA-K/BB.

1.3 26 man rosters with these active positions: C-1B-2B-3B-SS-CF-OF-OF-UTIL and SP-SP-SP-SP-SP-RP-RP-RP-RP-P and six (6) bench spots

1.4 Unlimited IR spots

1.5 Fourteen (14) MiLB slots.

 

2. MLB Roster Management

 

2.1 Lineup Setting is mandatory. Owners that do not set lineups with active MLB players for an extended period of time may be expelled from the league or face other discretionary consequences (such as pick loss).

2.2 Unowned players with no MLB games played cannot be added as free agents unless they have cleared rule 2.3. Unowned players with no MLB games played can be added during the NPD (see section 4).

2.3 DEBUT WAIVERS - if a player with no MLB games played plays in their first MLB game, including the postseason, any owner can request publicly that a commissioner place them on Debut Waivers, and any commissioner who sees a public request is obliged to do so. If a debuting player is not placed on Debut Waivers they can be added at 8 PM Eastern Time two days after their first MLB game. If a commissioner places a player on Debut Waivers they must post so in the message board thread or send an email to the league.

2.4 It is illegal to add a player with any type of red flag in Fantax. The punishment is loss of waiver priority and loss of the offending team's highest NPD pick outside of the first two rounds (if the offending team has only first and second round picks they lose their worst pick).

 

3. MiLB Roster Management

 

3.1 MiLB rosters will consist of a maximum of fourteen (14) players.

3.2 Before the New Player Draft any players on an MiLB roster with at least 1000 career MLB PA or 50 career (GS + (relief appearances/2)) have to be either promoted or cut.

3.3 Owners are free to promote players from or demote players to their MiLB roster at any time as long as the move is allowable in Fantrax.

 

4. New Player Draft

 

4.1 We will use the Fantrax Draft Room and may be limited by its functionality.

4.2 The NPD will take place in February or March each year.

4.3 Each owner will be allowed a 12 hour window in which to make their selection. After the 12 hour window, that owner may make their selection as soon as they arrive, but the draft will carry on in their absence and subsequent owners may make their selections.

4.4 If an owner misses a draft window entirely then all of their subsequent windows for the current draft will be halved. This penalty can occur twice during a draft; windows cannot shrink below 3 hours.

4.5 Only unowned players with no MLB games played (including playoffs) and who belong to an MLB parent team are eligible to be drafted. Players drafted but unsigned by an MLB team in the previous MLB draft are not eligible.

4.6 Prior to the NPD an owner must cut/clear space on their roster for each draft pick they intend to use. It is not clear if owners can make drops to open up roster space while the Fantrax Draft Room is open.

4.7 Any players, including MiLB players with no service time, dropped during the NPD may be claimed on waivers. MiLB players with no service time dropped before the NPD begins may not be claimed on waivers and must be taken during the draft, even if they were dropped right before the official start of the NPD.

4.8 Trades of MiLB assets can happen during the draft, subject to what is technically possible in Fantrax.

4.9 NPD order will be determined by the standings of the previous season with a weighted lottery on the Top 5 picks. The rest of the teams pick in order of regular season standings, with the exception of the league champion who will pick 20th.

 

5. Trading

 

5.1 Trades are subject to commissioner approval, but will be approved unless the trade is found to be overwhelmingly unfair or shows signs of collusion or league sabotage.

 

6. Voting

 

6.1 All items tabled for league voting must achieve 11/20 votes to pass. Voting is mandatory for all items tabled by a commissioner. Items that fail to pass cannot be tabled again for one year.

6.2 Voting is for potentially substantial league changes where time is not sensitive.

6.3 Matters that require timely resolution may avoid the vote process. Matters that can be best decided by a smaller group of people may avoid the vote process.

6.4 The supreme commissioner Kim Jong NJH has the power to make any unilateral rule changes or actions that he thinks are in the best interest of the league.

6.5 Any league member can call for a league vote. If 12 voting league members disagree with a rule change or action that has been implemented unilaterally by a commissioner, then the change shall be overturned. If 11 voting league members disagree with a rule change or action that has been implemented unilaterally by a commissioner, then the vote will be passed or failed by a secondary vote of only commissioners, excluding the commissioner that implemented a unilateral change. Commissioner is defined in this paragraph as: P2F, TheHurl, NJH, Dinger, z3r0s, and BTS.

 

7. Special Rules

 

7.1 Effective January 19 2020 the rule allowing compensation for the sudden loss of extremely valuable players was revoked. There will no longer be any compensation for sudden losses. The below text is kept here for historical reasons.

[Jimcanuck]

Wow, waiver priority AND a draft pick. This is serious stuff.

 

I be checking the add/drops everyday now.

[Spanky99]

You can drop players by commissioner only during the draft room. Too much ******** for you guys, just have a cut-down day.

I started sending out a few Trout offers. Feel free to counter if you don't like the players I chose.

I would like a Trout offer. I actually think I have the pieces to get it done or at least to be competitive in a bidding.

You definitely have loads of nice young pieces. Lets make it work.

Can you not?

 

Greenwood just traded all his good players to a team in my division. No need to send Trout here as well.

[Laika]

The long teased Trout trade...

 

Sounds like it is happening. FTD must be sitting on some strong offers already. Everyone should put their best foot forward today!

[P2F]

I'm interested in seeing what you'd have in mind if you think we can line up.

Yes, keep him in your s***** division. How could it be won with a sub .500 record

[The Cats Ass]

The long teased Trout trade...

 

Is Trout the only player to still be playing on their original team?

[z3r0s]

I sure don't have any!

Yep there are 3 teams who have made very strong offers. Very realistic chance he is moved today after an epic journey on my squad.

 

If everyone wants to get one last offer in, today is the day to do it!

[The Cats Ass]

I sure don't have any!

 

Through just a quick look (if you include our original prospect draft)

 

Gerrit Cole for the Burrito Boyz

Nolan Arenado for Ten Cent Beer night

Taijuan Walker for Spanky

I was going to say, I bet a few blue chip prospects from our first prospect draft have been held onto

More importantly - what will the new team name be? You can't be Twist and no Trout.

 

ISO Horny is available...
