When will the first faab auction be held? Is it the same for the main event and all satellites?



Also, the lineup page on my satellite says Sun. March 30-Sun. March 30. Will the A's/Sox games count and will we be able to change our lineups for them?

I believe the first FAAB period is Sunday, March 30th, and according to the big guys, the games in Japan will count. As for how we're going to be able to set our line-ups, not sure. I thought I heard something about the stats being handled retroactively. Hope this helps a little.

I am pretty sure stats will not be handled retroactively. I believe Greg said all rosters would be available before the Japan games begin, even those drafting satellite leagues this weekend. Free agency bidding is 3/30.

Yes, the A's-Red Sox will count and that will fall under Week 0. You will need to set your starting lineup for Week 0 five minutes before the start of next Tuesday's game. Week 0 will then be set through Sunday's game and Week 1's lineup will be available after that. In fact, you'll be able to set your Week 1 lineup after the Week 0 lineups have been locked.

Hi Greg-

What about Sat leagues that draft next week? I'm in a 3/24 7pm league. Will the rosters be uploaded in time to set them for the Japan game that will start a few hours after the draft ends?

No they won't be uploaded that quickly. For these unique leagues, you'll have the benefit of knowing what happened in those games and likely set your lineups after those games are finished. Such is life for everyone in those leagues. Sound good?

Works for me. Thanks for the clarification.



Now if Dice-K tosses a no-no in Japan, I wonder where he will be drafted in leagues that draft after the game?
