Re: Trevor Bauer - can he be Cut?

I feel like this rule needs to be removed or clarified for next year. Blake Snell was removed from the player pool in 2019 after his injury in late July even though we knew he'd be out for awhile. Not sure what was different in Snell's case... It could be that all players with a Main ADP in the fir...

Re: 2022 Rule Changes? Saves?

Bottom line is the game is about being challenging and fun, not realistic. That's why I like SB and W as categories but others don't. I think Saves + Holds completely devalue the position, I've heard 2 x Saves + Holds are a nice compromise. I don't think we're anywhere close to that point where we ...

Re: 2022 Rule Changes? Saves?

The motto, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" has apparently, in this generation, morphed into "when the going gets tough, the not-so-tough-minded seek to change the rules to make things easier.” While I will have to have JP crunch the numbers on it to be sure, I doubt the overall numb...

ps I can see a draft board but I don't see the dollar amounts next to each player like I could see during the auction.
There are two different boards,one for the auction portion, one with the reserve snake draft. Go to “My Teams” and open up the one labeled Auction I believe it’s called.

Re: NL and AL Only Auction Leagues - Las Vegas

We will give it another week for the 4 pm AL Auction League, but if we don't get this moving along by next Tuesday we are going to have to make a tough decision. We do have several owners willing to do a $1400 Mixed Auction league at that time and maybe that's an option for this group. But as of no...

Good question. Doesn't matter at all. You still get his stats if he goes from the Diamondbacks to the Yankees. You never lose those stats or the player. Thank you.

Re: Innings Minimum

15. Jay Lyons (tentative) https://media.giphy.com/media/2fXvNjhnat6yk/giphy.gif Mike, a helpful rule of thumb all of us at the Chicago Auction abide by is that even if Jay is paid in full & physically present in the draft room, he is always "TENTATIVE" until the draft is completed in full. :lol:
