So does this mean he's out for league 6? I guess so, and I guess we need to start looking for a replacement.

What a great Xmas present, Dan :? :roll:

Just Novie and pjatscfy left to close out the West in Event 5.... :)

[quote:d17881ba2e="FAaron"]For Season 6, each team must have a 25 man roster. You can have 9 pitchers and 16 hitters, 10 pitchers and 15 hitters or 11 pitchers and 14 hitters. I don't care. You shall not have 24 players, unless you intend to add one more before the season starts. 26 is one too many, and 27 and 28 are flat out. Got it? Sounds easy, right? Well, there are just a few catches.

First, you cannot have more than 10 players on your team who are not on one of your 4 rosters (so, the minimum roster players is 15 and the maximum nonroster invitees is 10).

Second, we will have a one round draft. Except, during this draft, you will not be picking a player for your team. No. Instead, on a variation of the famous college theme "Screw Your Roomate", you get to pick a player for another team in your division. This player must be worth $3 million or more, must be a position player, most be on one of your opponent's 4 team rosters, and will have to start every game at one of the position's on his card (except for when he is on the DL). Oh yeah, and this player [b:d17881ba2e]cannot[/b:d17881ba2e] be used as a DH. So, if you have the Cubs and your opponent puts Riggs Stephenson on your squad, you have to start him in LF or 3B.

Novie, if you enter in the next 15 minutes, we could all wake up to find season 5 under the tree, loaded and ready to go... :D

I want to apologize for holding up leagues.

I never anticipated this theme running so fast. I did not plan on spending 50 dollars a month on this one theme.

I have never complained about someone being slow entering and do not share the anxiety over a league starting at a certain date.

I am not saying I am right and I do understand people play for different reasons. I play a lot and enjoy it, but it doesn't impact me if a league starts a particluar week or not.

A lot going on, son going to grad school, planiing job and home changes, nothing dramatic just hectic, adding in the fun holdiay season I have not been keeping up on stratomatic that much in time or money.

At the point I have others upset in this theme I am leaving it.

In terms of overall managers this theme has been excellent




goodluck see you in some public league sometime


Merry Christmas

DAN

[buster j ratt]

We are saying farewell to a class act Have enjoyed competing with Dan This is one of the best themes I have played and hate to lose anyone Just want to say the class he has bowed out with tells me a lot about him Hopefully his replacement is just as classy


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

[Cubs48]

Dan,
Aggravating ?...not at all,being inconsiderate...now thats' a different story. You have been in this strat thing long enough to know that when you sign up for a live draft league that all you have to do is let people know what's going on and there's no problem.There have been several leagues that you have disappeared during a live draft or when it's time to enter your team which is in some managers opinion inconsiderate and I have to agree. If it happened once or twice fine,that's life but it has become a pattern with you and it takes the fun out of being in a live draft when one person is constantly holding things up without communicating to others why.I have played in enough leagues with you as have others to know you are a good manager and seem to be a nice guy so this is not some kind of "get Dan witchhunt".I am sorry to see you are dropping out of the theme and wish you would reconsider.Just asking that you let somebody know if you are not going to be available...to some of us time may be more valuable than having to check in every 2 hours to see if you made your pick or entered your team,so that we can pick in a timely manner and won't hold things up.To disappear for days at a time and then just say I was too busy to check in and let somebody know why I can't pick or enter my team is very inconsiderate in my opinion.(especially when it becomes a habit) Anyway,good luck at whatever you decide to do and Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Scott

Putting aside the holiday season, I have to agree with Scott. I'm sorry, buster j ratt, but I don't think Dan's departure can be seen as a "class act." He had quite a few opportunities to send a message to at least one of us long ago to say, "Hey guys, I really like the league, but I'm sorry, I just have too much going on to participate like the rest of you." His exodus has come too late to be treated with dignity, and I hope that this news of losing a manager has not spoiled anyone's holiday spirit. Perhaps our league's Xmas present will be a solid replacement who can keep things rolling along. Anyone have leads on finding such a replacement??

Novie's definitely getting a lump of coal from me this Xmas :lol: j/k ... Seriously, though, let's load up Event 5 by tomorrow night so we can start on Monday.
