[Mark19]

I won't be returning this year. I hope someone can take over my team rather than just disperse all of the players.

[Clive]

I'm out too. Good luck to everyone else, and I hope the expansion team enjoys Evan Longoria.

[THEBOSS84]

MaximMan121 and DaSh 1 wanted in.

[MaximMan121]

MaximMan121 and DaSh 1 wanted in.

Thanks for the note to this effect. Hadn't even noticed this thread.

[THEBOSS84]

Thanks for the note to this effect. Hadn't even noticed this thread.

No problem. I think you'd be a nice addition.

[MaximMan121]

Any idea when we'll find out if we're in or not? And, thereafter, which teams we're taking?

[ChrisRo]

I'm sure you'll be in, only 7 teams returned so 5 spots are up for grabs.

Eric, I just sent the 25 dollars. Let's get this rollin

[MaximMan121]

Almost pitchers and catchers. When's this starting up?

[ChrisRo]

I don't know. Eric?

[THEBOSS84]

Lets draft next week!

[Big_E]

Yes, we have plenty of room for expansion teams. MaximMan121 is in...

Auction will be probably 10 days before season starts or thereabouts...see how my other leagues fall schedule-wise.

[boo_427]

I am in. You think I am going to let the last three years hold me back?

Plus I just want to see how much I can drive the price on AJ Burnett.

I hope all is well with everyone. Some of the pics I have seen from the new stadium look awesome.

Who has the best $1 keeper again? Raul Ibanez get a vote?

[ChrisRo]

Eric, did you get to renew the league?

[Big_E]

If you've received an invoice, please pay ASAP so I can renew the league!

Thanks...

[Big_E]

Welcome to MaximMan121 as a paid-up member of the league!

[Big_E]

So now that 7 people have paid (one more was free as defending champs) I have enough money to renew the league for another season! Plus, 8 is always a minimum for a decent league...

[gdn]

I didn't get an invoice yet.

[Big_E]

I didn't get an invoice yet.

you should have one now...

[Snatch Catch]

Finally paid.

We really need to recruit for this. I'd really, really, really like to have 12 teams...

[THEBOSS84]

We already have 10 teams. Are there any teams from last year that haven't gotten back to us yet? We should be able to find 2 more guys.

[Big_E]

We have 9 paid already. GDN will pay soon for 10. I invited DaSh 1 (or whatever his name is) which if he joins will make 11.

[Big_E]

Thanks to all who paid...the league has been renewed

[gdn]

paid.

[Big_E]

got it

[MaximMan121]

paid.

Wow, haven't seen you since, well, Tyler Clippard was still a fast riser in the Yanks system.

[yanksphan]

Wow, haven't seen you since, well, Tyler Clippard was still a fast riser in the Yanks system.

I'm pretty sure he's a ninja.

[rodg12]

We gonna try to get a 12th? I think that would be best.

[ChrisRo]

So... anything new? When's the draft? Or the expansion draft? When do we declare keepers?

I remember last year, when I was one of the 3 new people in the league, this forum was flooded with questions and discussions about the rules. Now, complete silence.

Are we even gonna start this thing?

[Big_E]

Because people in this league are also in the other league, I want to see when their draft is, before trying to schedule this one.

Should be soon. Then work backwards for expansion draft, keepers, etc...

[rodg12]

Again, are we going to have a 12th team? That's important information for evaluating my keepers.

[Big_E]

Doesn't look like more than we already have. I have contacted some people who said they were interested but have not heard back from them.

[rodg12]

Ok, that's cool. Will prepare as if we have 11 then. Thanks.

[Big_E]

Ok, that's cool. Will prepare as if we have 11 then. Thanks.

K.

Though we have 10 paid.

[Big_E]

Again, are we going to have a 12th team? That's important information for evaluating my keepers.

It's funny...I'm in an auction league were we get 4-keepers.

7 teams returning (of 8) from last year, plus 4 expansion teams. I was saying to one of the other owners (4 of us work together) that my keepers would be different if there was only 1 expansion team, rather than four. He disagreed.

I was laughing inside. Hopefully he messes up his keepers then, and it's one less person I need to worry about in 2009.
