we'll that's pretty lame. Can we just drop all players and have ppl pick up their rosters?

kk, I'll drop Petan and Tambellini. Removed them from my prospect list.

looks like there is an 'approve keepers' page, but most in the league haven't set them (and now the deadline is past)

wait are we doing the prospect draft now, or the waiver draft? I thought waiver. If not I'll post my prospect cuts asap.

Frolik My Balls keepers and cuts; C - Sidney Crosby C - John Tavares RW - Wayne Simmonds LW - Chris Kreider C/LW - Jonathan Marchessault RW - Michael Frolik D - Kris Letang D - Duncan Keith D - Colton Parayko D - Nick Leddy D - Josh Morrissey D - Jacob Trouba G - Carey Price G - Matt Murray G - Michal Neuvirth Cuts; Daniel Sedin Scott Hartnell Zdeno Chara Ian Cole Marian Hossa Ryan Hartman I assume we don't have to cut prospects until just before we have the entry player draft.

Just a little observation that I found humorous. but guess I'll just shut up and not say anything while ahead. Wouldn't want to offend anyone's sensibilities.

You don't have to keep kicking me when I'm down Hurl

oh s***... I may not be cut out for this.

Wow, I'm doing a terrible job of managing Yandy Diaz here. In my lineup this week; 0-5, .375 OBP Out of my lineup this week; 4-8, .600 OBP

its closer than the overall score looks.

OK all, I bought the trophy template. Any input on the design are appreciated. Colour (is it gold, silver, a colour, or what?). Elements (do we put an f'n baseball, or something as part of the design, idk). Text (I figure a team name, DDL Champion, Year... any other ideas. Maybe division name?). I know my wife will have some sort of creative input, but like something to go off of.

I think I agree with TCA. I've processed the MiLB parts of all trades, but the actual rosters should probably wait. Honestly in the future, we should probably just wait to announce till after the playoffs and get it all done at once.

Gentlemen. I've got an idea of a league trophy I wanted to float. The issue with trophies is that while they aren't that expensive to get, shipping them around the country is a decent expense every year. I've looked around for a paper folded trophy and found a template I think I (my wife, lets be real) could modify to suit our league. Could easily be printed and mailed to the league winner for assembly. Should just be a matter of printing it, cutting it out, folding, and gluing. Every year a new copy would be printed and mailed to the winner. Cheap to make and transport... even if it doesn't have the bulk that would let you use it to defend yourself in case of home invasion. The other part of the idea is to make up a nice wooden base for the current trophy to sit on. I have a woodshop and could whip something up out of some nice species of wood and stain it. This would contain the names of the past champion for each year and would be easy to expand with another layer and some dowels. The nudge here is that this would be more expensive to ship around. My proposition would be that the Town Bike be responsible to cover shipping to the new league champ every year (of just this base). I'd get it to champ this year (so KK doesn't think I'm picking on him ). Base wouldn't be big (neither would the trophy) so shipping theoretically wouldn't be that bad. Would probably only cost $20 and sometime to get everything set up (buy the template, mod it, print and assemble test trophy, burn said trophy, make and finish the base, ship to winner), which I'd be fine to cover (or the league could chips if they wanted). Let me know what your thoughts are. I won't bother if people don't care about a physical trophy.

Man would I love to get Contreras back for the playoffs. Maaaaaaaybe Friday by the sounds of it. James McCann has (oddly) performed fairly well in his absence, but that would be a big add for my lineup.

If we are getting OS selling started, I'd like to deal Billy Hamilton before the cut-down. Ratios are not pretty, but he contributes in R's and will literally win you a category a week. I was 20-1-0 in SB's this year with Billy starting after Eaton went down. His 58 steals are => than 7 team totals. Not looking for a crazy return, but I think he's keepable and I won't have room. Easiest 10+ wins you will roster.

I will forgive Garrett Richards for being f***ing useless all year if he can NOT s*** the bed for the course of the playoffs.

Was a hell of a battle dinger. Cheers brother

I've got a secondary out with FTD not dominating either

TCA; do you not know I'm trying to win a playoff spot? Can you just not OBP .400 (me with a measly .380)

fixed

I honestly never got that criticism. Weaver is a legit guy.

yeah I needed a bigger win vs KingKat last week. Matchups don't favour me vs Dinger. On the other side FTD has a tough matchup himself this week, so its going to be an fun finish I think.

confirmed as my proposal. good dealing with you bud

he sure is clowning low A right now, thats for sure.

I'd take a playoff berth and call it a big win
