Yup. 2021 picks are in Fantrax.

No clocks until after the Monday cut deadline

Was wondering where he would slide in. I guess this is a bit higher than I expected

Yup!

Thanks, I'll strike them through on the list. Anyone else - if you are for sure letting picks dissolve let us know and we can mark it on the list.

Yup. No restrictions on that anymore.

Torontofan is one of a couple of guys who have not logged into Fantrax since March. Torontofan (some concern), featherD (some concern), jaysblue (some concern), and Boxy (concerned about his mental state but not his draft participation).

ALSO - picks need to be added in Fantrax by each owner as the pick is made. This is necessary in order to keep the player pool clean.

Hi dickheads - People can begin picking whenever they want - Cuts are due Monday at 11:59 PM - Clocks start on Monday at 11:59 PM - No need to announce your cuts since we now manage our own entire MLB+MiLB rosters. Just drop people in Fantrax I think for our draft in 2021 and going forward there will be no more Cut Deadline. You'll just be able to drop a player as part of your draft selection, and dropped players will be subject to waivers. However, for this draft we will use our old rules one last time. All cuts should be in at 11:59 PM Monday and at that point extra picks are deleted. edit: and if you see me ever post outside of the DDL, LoD, or Radio Scouts threads please permaban me

there is nothing left for me to do here. i am ready to transcend this place. please permaban me.

Jim is the new Grant I am trying to figure out how to delete my account but I can't see the button. Do I need to ask a mod to kill me?

So you are wrong and will bite yourself?

In a context that has nothing to do with this one. Most act of god provisions have an operating clause which essentially says that no party is responsible for their failure to perform the contract if that failure was caused by an act of god. I don't think the MLB CBA has any real force majeure clause. The uniform player contract within the CBA has one emergency clause which says the Commissioner can suspend the contract during any national emergency. Governmental Regulation–National Emergency 11. This contract is subject to federal or state legislation, regulations, executive or other official orders or other governmental action, now or hereafter in effect respecting military, naval, air or other governmental service, which may directly or indirectly affect the Player, Club or the League and subject also to the right of the Commissioner to suspend the operation of this contract during any national emergency during which Major League Baseball is not played.

Lawyer JimCanuk here to tell everybody something that is probably wrong. Can a mod delete my account until Covid19 is gone?

this grant67 content right here in this thread is why i keep logging into the bjmb even in the face of a pandemic

No, if the season is cancelled then COVID-19 is the defending champ.

PANDEMIC POWER RANKINGS 1. THE PLAGUE (BLACK DEATH, BUBONIC PLAGUE) - predated good measurements but might have killed half of Europe in like five years. The Barry Bonds of pandemics. 2. THE SPANISH FLU - your granddaddy's influenza pandemic, killed 50 million (estimates range from 17 to 100 million). 3. SMALL POX - wiped out 50M+ over time, including 90% of Native Americans. 4. HIV/AIDS - a slow burn pandemic, it is still operating. Tens of millions have died; tens of millions currently have it. 5. PLAGUE OF JUSTINIAN - sped up the fall of the Roman Empire. Killed perhaps 50 million people in multiple occurrences across a couple of centuries (that's up to 26% of the global population at the time). 6. ANTONINE PLAGUE - 165 to 180 AD, killed 5-10 million people. Probably not actually the plague - could have been smallpox or measles. 7. THE THIRD PLAGUE - technically active from 1855 to 1960, killed perhaps 12 million people, mostly in China and India. 8. THE GREAT PESTILENCE - Mexico (New Spain) in the early 16C. Shortly after up to 8M died from smallpox in 1520, between 1545 and 1580 7-17.5M died from what the Aztecs called Cocoliztli. Now, we think this was a form of salmonella. 9. THE GREAT PLAGUES - Maybe a stretch to call this its own pandemic. The bacteria that caused the Black Death was dormant for a few centuries but had multiple outbreaks in Europe in the 18th, 17th, and 16th, centuries, killing millions. Honourable Mentions: ASIAN FLU RUSSIAN FLU HONG KONG FLU CHOLERA JAPANESE SMALLPOX Recent, but not as serious as the above: SWINE FLU (could be an HM) SARS MERS EBOLA Will COVID-19 slide into the HMs section??? Difficulties in comparing pandemics: - modern healthcare limits deaths - modern mobility makes it easier for things to become global - global population makes raw death counts hard to compare across centuries (we need to "park adjust" some of these stats. What would SARS or H1N1 have done in the 1800s?)
