Also dropping Chase Field

How embarassing! I did not notice that I was dropping my own stadium in this league, when I updated the rosters.

I looked at the rules and did not even realize we could drop our stadiums. I read the rule wrong for whatever reason. I looked at the word "initial" and thought that was the only draft, even though rule 4 is pretty clear. I'd love to get out of Comerica if anyone is interested or if I am allowed to, even if I have to pick it last. It changed a lot.

Terry, you are a very attentive Commissioner for lots of leagues. Very understandable that you misfire on what you did with your Stadium in one league. I found that I was a bit handicapped in my drafting when I commissioned only one league. It messed me up.

on another league i dropped Cody Bellinger

fellow managers, if you KNOW you're not gonna be around, can you please post a skip for now rather than waste two hours every round, lately twice, when you know you're gonna wait to the end of the day, or next day, to fill in your TIMED out pick. as a courtesy please?

for those who likely missed it because you didn't check in all day....

always available for proxies too....

I have a question for everyone: who are the guys you gave up on too soon in this league or other keeper leagues, and later regretted dropping them because they went on to be a star or resuscitate their career? I'm not talking about trades, I mean "Meh, he's not going to be good" and just releasing him.

I dropped Schwarber in 2021, after having him since he was drafted out of college and nursing him through the Cubs years. He started off hitting under .100 in April 2021, after a .188 2020 and I was like "he's done." As SOON as we finished the draft, he went on a rampage and hit 32 homers.

I didn't drop him, but I traded away a young Mookie Betts, because I thought he was grossly over-rated.

I cut Castellanos in at least one league this year. He's putting up great numbers so far this year.

Like herpes, this condition seems to be a permanent affliction (once you get it).

Nelson Cruz was another of mine. I dropped him after 2012 when his OBP, HR and SLG dropped for two straight seasons after age 30. I figured he was on the downside.

He had six All Stars, 4 Silver Sluggers and five top-10 MVP seasons AFTER age 30. He's also STILL PLAYING 13 years later.
