***NOTE for commissioner***
SS/RF-(prospect)-Cruz will be immediately promoted to the 30 man roster

Hoboken BlackSox


LF/RF-Giancarlo Stanton is now on the block. Same as with Berrios please post your best offer. I just don’t have the time (nor patience) to negotiate so the best offer gets him. I’ll be looking for a decent outfielder in return but actually any position would be an upgrade on this team of misfits. Younger would be better & I’m open to FA &/or prospect 2021/2022 picks.

As I mentioned earlier my wife is going in for surgery tomorrow so I may not get to this til late in the weekend or early next week.

thanx guys

Hey Paul,

I just realized I owe you a drop to get back to 30 man roster.

Please drop Parra. Thank you.

Hi, everyone,

I just wanted to share some thoughts I have shared in a couple other keeper leagues with similar rules. Having taken some time to think of how to best play our game in the keeper league format given all the uncertainty with MLB right now, here is the best proposal I have been able to come up with.

If there is going to be an MLB season in 2020, then it makes sense to consider postponing the Supplemental draft and our second season until at least a month into the MLB season. That way, the Supplemental Draft has similar meaning and purpose as in past years.

If there is not going to be an MLB season in 2020, then it makes sense to consider postponing the Supplemental draft and the second season with these cards until next year, again at least a month into the MLB season. That way, again, the Supplemental Draft has similar meaning and purpose as in past years. And wheeling and dealing in the second season will be in preparation for the next fresh batch of Strat cards.

Life without Strat is a little less interesting, but life without MLB has been as well. It would stink to cut our fun this year short, and to miss out on a FA draft next year, but it's really out of our hands. In thinking of what is the most fair and equitable, from a keeper league perspective, this proposal is the best I have been able to come up with.

My 2 cents.

Have a great Memorial Day!

Hi,

I posted this in the TKL league that I currently run:

I am leaning toward scheduling the supplemental draft for 30 days after the start of the MLB season. That will hopefully provide enough time for players to accumulate meaningful stats and for us to know whether or not this year's MLB season will truly end up working. The Supplemental draft would follow an hourly schedule and our 2nd league season could begin promptly after the Supplemental draft.

Any thoughts on what the plan is for this league? I think it would make sense to be patient here as well.

Thanks, and I hope everyone's summer is going well (all things considered)!
