Might have to get him to try registering a new account.

Are your guys able to post L54?

The team needs to acquire a MLB-caliber infielder who can play short. Urena likely makes the team as it currently is, and there isn't another shortstop on the 40-man aside from Gurriel. Spending a bit of cash on Asdrubal Cabrera makes a lot of sense.

No, it was most of the forum. Or at least most of the people in the conversation at the time. Jim advocated trading him in a deal like this, Boxy jumped on him, and then a bunch of people piled on. Edit: Actually is was saskjsysfan2 who suggested this exact trade and got dragged for like 3 pages by the hive.

I remember a lot of people s***ing on the idea of trading Martin +15M for a couple low-ranked prospects a month or two ago. Most of the forum IIRC.

Yeah, you're right. Tulo is still on the books.

Morales sticks out like a sore thumb on this roster, and needs to GTFO. Next offseason is going to be amazing. Studly young core of Vlad, Jansen, and Bo. 40-man loaded with talent, and one of the deepest systems in the majors feeding into it. And I think like literally $0 committed to anyone except Lourdes Gurriel.

Yeah, I think so too.

I wonder if Maile is retained as the backup, or if they just dump him and go righto McGuire.

This feels like his last season here. A lot of arms are coming up that look more interesting than a boring, low-ceiling 29-year old middle reliever who will be out of options next year.

Great interview. He was well-spoken, and candid without saying anything that would get him into trouble. I thought you guys did a great job.

He's the guy I'd cut. The other two are also s***, but he's 26, out of options, seems to have a questionable attitude, is always hurt, and hasn't really even hit in AAA.

We're running out of s*** to cut. Should be Urena, Davis, or Pompey.

I don’t have his e-mail. Mind contacting him?

I don't think anyone would have a problem with you changing your mind before the deadline.

I’m still expecting the HBDFBL to collapse. It’s sustained success depends on the commish, who must have absolutely no life at all.

That sounded sarcastic but it wasn't. Only 1 outstanding response after a few days is great.

Sent him a PM last night. Really appreciate everyone responding so quickly. Thanks guys!

I remember when this league started Boxy was fired up and talking all kinds of trash. Then his team sucked and he lost interest. It makes me sad - fantasy baseball is fun with an engaged Boxy.

Welcome aboard. League rules are in the first post of this thread. Here's the dispersal draft rules: - Owners get two weeks to state whether or not they'll be participating in the dispersal draft. - All assets (MLB players, prospects, MiLB picks, waiver picks) belonging to teams participating in the dispersal draft will be available in the draft. The draft will continue until all assets have been selected, or until all teams have declined to select from the pool of remaining assets. A team that declines to pick has made the decision to forfeit all remaining picks in the draft. - The draft order will be determined randomly, and the draft will snake. Windows will be 12-hours long. If a window expires the next manager in line can pick, and the manager whose window was skipped can pick ASAP. If the draft comes back to an owner whose last window expired, they will be given a new 12-hour window. Commissioners reserve the right to delay the draft indefinitely if they believe a missed window will significantly skew the distribution of talent. - Teams owning dispersal draft picks will be permitted to trade picks to any team in the league after the deadline for declaring for the draft. Picks will also be tradable mid-draft, but trades must be completed within 1 hour of a window’s start. Trades will be processed manually by commissioners. Proposed Dates 11:59 PM Sunday, January 13th for the other 17 teams to declare whether or not they're participating in the dispersal draft. 9:00 AM Sunday, January 20th for the start of the draft I'd like to hear a decision from all 17 returning owners on whether or not they're participating.

He was willing to stay, but was happy to give up his team once we had the Hurl-vouched replacement. He wasn't exactly engaged in the league over the last couple seasons.

Hurl’s guy will be taking over Boxy’s team, and I believe entering it in the dispersal draft.
