I think there would be more activity trade wise so I think it would make for more fun.

I personally wouldn't have a problem with it if nobody else did either. I do see where it might add some new excitement for the managers who have struggled to compete but stuck with the league anyways. If people would be interested in that and the new managers don't mind, I'm willing to be flexible to the wishes of the rest of the league, so I'd be down with that.

I don't know how I feel about it. On the one hand my team sucks but on the other I like the players I have

Thanks for the invite, I'm looking forward to the challenge. I've been preparing by reviewing my 2005 Prospectus Annual. Andy Marte became a star, right?

I wish. Having trouble finding that 12th member. Feel like I've done all I can without spamming everywhere. I've sent close to 100 PMs. Open to suggestions, if anyone has someone in mind.

Not sure of the technicalities, but bigboy seems to have an interest in opting back in as long as he has his old team back - as per his posts on the other thread. We can then have a dispersal draft with just the other 2 teams.

Post #269 » by **TyCobb** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 7:20 pm

Not sure if we can be too picky at the moment. Let's just hope bigdiva1234 puts his team to use and acquires some pitching. :wink:

Sorry if I gave off that impression, not really looking to continue with the league, just having some fun. That being said, if you guys REALLY need to get going I'll take back my team on an interim basis but I'm not going to put much time/effort into it, but I guess that is better than nothing for you guys.

PM that guy Cfan.

Ty's comment challenging me is giving me the itch. Will CFan scratch it? (I may have to agree to trade him some of my OF he wants in advance.) Damn this boredum from Spring Break.

replied . i am in. (if still wanted)

Post #274 » by **CFan21** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 1:53 am

Fellas, meet our 12th man. As long as he hasn't insulted anyone's girlfriend in these parts, he's got my endorsement. Participated in Ty's Laker Board league and sounds to me like a great add. Time to get going on the drafts. I'll set it all up.

Also, an update on bigboy. I'm sure he can speak for himself if he wants, but we did exchange a few messages. I felt that our other noobs had joined with the agreement of picking from the player pool I've listed, and not to dump on OldNo7 and MGD, but if bigboy's roster is taken out, that's a significant difference in the players they'd be picking from and it would be pulling out the rug from under the other new guys. I was open to him joining in on the dispersal draft, but felt that, because of the reason I mentioned, it was too late in the game to just take his former roster back. I understand if any of you disagree with me on that.

Post #275 » by **CFan21** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 2:08 am

To the new managers. We'll be doing snake drafts for the dispersal stuff. What we usually do is use a random sequence generator. In this case it will just be 1-2-3. If you want, you can pick what number you want out of those, but, to be clear, the program will return those three in a random order (for example: 3-1-2) and the number associated with you will determine where you pick. So, if you pick 1, that doesn't mean you pick first, that means wherever 1 shows up in the sequence, that's your spot. We'll then go with the reverse order for the prospect dispersal. So, if you had the #1 pick in the major league dispersal, you'll have #3 in the prospect one. Whoever is #2 will be in that spot for both drafts. Did that make sense to you guys?

sounds good to me. I'll take deuce.

Angel strike1 · Post #277 » by **Angel strike1** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 3:22 am

sounds good.

Angel strike1 · Post #278 » by **Angel strike1** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 3:39 am

give me #3

Post #279 » by **CFan21** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 3:55 am

So there we have it, that leaves GYBE with #1, so just to be clear, it's...

GYBE - 1
Kaz - 2
Angel - 3

For the new guys, the site I use is http://www.random.org/sequences, I don't just make it up myself, haha. And here is the random sequence...

Random Sequence Generator

Here is your sequence:

1
3
2

Timestamp: 2013-03-21 03:53:25 UTC

That makes the major league dispersal order...

1. GYBE
2. Angel strike1
3. Kaz4121

and the prospect dispersal order....

1. Kaz4121
2. Angel strike1
3. GYBE

I'll do out the full order so it'll be easier to digest. Again, these will be snake drafts.
