Hopefully this season's all star break finds all of you enjoying summer. I know mine has been fairly relaxing, with varying degrees of success in my fantasy baseball teams.
Anyway, with this being a keeper league, I'd like to get a pulse of how each of you feels the league is moving forward, while its very fresh in our minds. I want each of you to email me or IM me of your interest in returning next year or dropping out. I'm assuming at this point that all of you are interested since you all appear to be active (no glaring issues of DL guys still being active, etc, but there are a few players that are). I will begin re-creating the proboards pages to the best of my ability slowly over the rest of the MLB season so its ready to go once the season is over to keep in contact with everyone.
I'm in and am relatively happy with the way things are going. i'm in for next year.
Unfortunately, I've exhausted all avenues I'm willing to explore with trying to get our money back from Mr. Rob Pakeltis. I haven't been able to get an email from him in a while, and any of you are free to try yourselves. I've tried to go back to PayPal to see if we can get refunds, and struck out there as well (although there is still an official notice with PayPal that I disputed the four transactions with him). And, I filed (twice) charges with a government online fraud website (ic3.gov), and have heard nothing either time.
I hate to do this to you guys, but as of now, I'm still out the whole league charge. I hope you've been satisfied with my leadership and dedication to keeping this league running and would consider helping me off-set the charges. Dr Bill and George, you have paid me directly, not Rob, so you are fully taken care of and I ask no more money of each of you. Rich, I don't remember how we took care of yours originally, sorry. Contact me for details if you are interested, and thanks ahead of time.
c'est la vie on Rob. screw him. send me details on how to pay you (11.50?) and i'll send you check or do paypal...
Here's some food for thought for potential changes:
1. Trading/Waiver period 1 Day. I adjusted that one very early on to be 1 day….everyone agree with that?
fine. would prefer 2 days for trades so people can review.
2. Scoring....everyone still OK with standard 5x5 Roto? I am.
3. Roster spots….any adjustment needed? I seem to remember talk of adding DL spots, finding out how to actually "use" those minors or injured spots and have them count towards our roster spots (which they don't do currently, remember the illegal rosters early in the season?)
4. Keepers. We designated 8 to be the number, and any attached salary from what you bid/trade salary for. Any reason to look at changing this number?
5. Keeper value. Next year will be the SAME value the player was won for this year, if he's on your team or traded. Any player not "purchased" in the original auction would be $1. But, I've been thinking about this for some time, what about the guys that were auction purchased, but then released. Eric Gagne from my team is an example. He cost me $15 at auction, and I recently cut ties with him. If someone is bold enough to pick him up, should he cost that GM $15 if he wants to keep him for next year, or $1 since he became a free agent? That's the only gray area I came up with. Related to that, I'm beginning to try and come up with a formula for what these guys should have for values for 2008 season…something related to Fair Market Value is what we were discussing before the season began.
Fine with all. for last point, salary should stay with player if they're being kept.
6. Keeper deadline/Draft Date for 2007. Not as important right now, but just something to think about. I prefer to be doing things in late Feb/early March so we can see a little of that spring training information coming out, magazines are on the shelves, etc, but that's me. The old commish wanted to set keepers on January 5th, if I'm not mistaken.
We can figure that out later, but 1/5/07 works for me.
7. Minor league guys. Anything special we'd like to do with these, maybe a different roster spot in terms of keeper status (guys that didn't play any big league innings in 2006, guys not in the CBS database, etc….)
would be nice to have a minor league roster limited to 3-5 players.
8. Any other rules or scoring details are fully negotiable as well. I didn't create most of them, so I won't be offended if we change any part of it. This is as much your league as mine, I just run it. Let Democracy Speak! Feel free to send suggestions to me directly, post them on the CBS message board, or email out to the entire league, it doesn't matter to me.
That's about it in a nutshell. Again, I would appreciate an email or IM from each of you, bare minimum, about your interest in coming back next year. IF you have any other suggestions, feel free to post them on the groups page or the league message board. This also insures that you are actively checking out the league!
Your commish.
