Major League Keeper League (MLKL)

Trades are noted.

BillyV has decided - rather suddenly from my perspective - not to play in the league any more. If anyone knows somebody, please let me know ASAP. I will post something on the boards if we can't find an internal solution.

As soon as we have a new owner, we can get their cuts and begin the draft.

Will we have an available players list, or do we need to do our own research?

Trade Announcement:

Thisisdan trades:

4th Round FA Pick

Confirmed.

It wasn't so much that I decided "suddenly" to leave the league. But I say it every single year: Why not send out emails to let everyone know when the league is starting back up? I am not on the boards during the months of inactivity between seasons. When I finally did get an email, I was preparing for my face-to-face draft and in the midst of my other online draft (where WP keeps everyone in the loop via group emails.) Not meant as a shot at Peter, who so kindly took over running this league when it was kind of left in the lurch. And I don't want to create another problem, so I will continue to play and list my cuts below. And request once again that communication take place by email and with links provided so one doesn't have to search the entire site to find the appropriate threads, or whether they have the updated rosters, etc. As it is, the roster I have doesn't include prospect information, so I'm not sure if I have to promote anyone. But assuming the roster I have is the correct one, here are my drops:
PA Panthers drops:
K. Johnson
Darnell
Roberts
Sands
Schierholtz
Fuld
C. Carpenter
J. Santana
Bedard
Madson

Previous Roster =40 Cuts =10 Current Roster =30

Everything is almost in order with rosters. I'll have them done tonight and will then create a draft thread. As for available players, it's up to everybody to do his own research. That said, I'll try to find time to create one.

I'd like to start the draft on Friday with no clock on round 1.

Thanks for your patience guys. We are almost ready to draft.

First, everybody has access to the google doc of the rosters and all league information. If you've lost it, this link should work:

GOOGLE DRIVE ROSTERS:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am9aLHHK6fzvdGJRV1AyRGt4bHVsQ1JTeVpGN21VNXc#gid=2

Second, there is now a draft thread. Here's the link:

We are almost ready to get going. We need three things:

1. EVERYBODY CHECK THE ROSTERS AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE CORRECT.

2. BILLYV NEEDS TO CUT AT LEAST ONE MORE PLAYER AND DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH HIS PROMOTIONS.

3. ARAY NEEDS TO EITHER CUT OR PROMOTE ONE REMAINING PROSPECT.

Ideally, all this done, we can start round one on Friday.

My roster looks good.

I will cut four more:
M. Leake
E.Volquez
S.Santos
C.Crawford

and promote three:
A. Liddi
J.Taillon
R. de la Rosa

to get to 30

We can begin the draft. Aray still has one cut or promotion to make, but it won't affect initial drafting. Nythawk may begin any time.

I can't access the rosters ... Google is f**king with my accounts ... I requested permission from the owner to get access.

Okay, I can access them now ... I will promote Guillermo Pimentel, and just hold onto him until he hits the majors in 3-4 years ...
