You post the pick in the league message board and you also add the player to your team. I already added Moncada to your team though. Nice pick!

1.5 Micah Johnson 2B Chicago (AL)
Luckily I checked the league, cause it was my pick again, and never received a PM.
Also, coolguy, you can stop hounding me about a reliever, I only have 2 and not giving either away, which you are trying for me to do..show me some respect......Kolton Wong for Greg Holland..that is disrepectful and down right hilarious.
It is a good thing you were keeping an eye on it. Each owner is responsible for watching the draft board for his turn to draft. It is polite to use the email function on the Yahoo league page to send an email to the next owner in line. We rarely send PMs, although it would help speed up the draft. If you send me your cell number I will text you when I see your turn come up. Your timer starts when the previous pick is posted no matter if you do or do not get an email, PM or text message letting you know it is your turn. Just check the site once in a while to make sure you don't get skipped.
PS, I don't think that trade offer is disrespectful. I probably wouldn't accept it, but it is not a ridiculous offer. Wong is a good young player, and closers usually don't last long. Thinking long term it makes some sense to view those two players as having similar dynasty value. Just my two cents.
Wong is a meh player imho.he played out his keester last year, and isn't a HR hitter, that he is trying to become. Holland has way more value to me than a wanna be 2B.
I think the offer is more than fair. Wong will be around for half a decade. Outside of the elite, RP come and go. Offense is at a premium in today's game. Wong will provide in 4/5 categories.
Kolten Wong was a top 50 prospect going into last season and performed well
In 2/3s of a season last year he hit 12 HR with 20 SB. He is also a 24 year old 2B and 3 years shy of reaching his prime years (going by the traditional 27-31). I'm a fan of Holland, but long term I think Wong will be more valuable.
The other trade I sent was meant to be a rebuilding deal for you. Both of your closers (you would punt 8-11 points from saves this year) for 3 top 40 prospects that will all reach the majors this year, a 27 year old OF coming off a .315/23HR season, and a 23 yr old SS projected to go double digits in HR/SB and hit over .260. There is value there long term. I also explained that both deals were jumping off points and I was expecting to change pieces accordingly.
Apologies for you feeling insulted.
More than fair????. A 3rd teir 2B for a top reliever.... reallly dont understand your definition of fair there,but whatever . AS for your rebuilding comment.Owings is a top prospect????.not seeing it. You really only offered Winker and glasnow for two of the top relievers in the game.........sorry don't see how that one helps at all. You gets points and I get maybes.not seing that one either....Like I said, we are seeing things totally different.....good luck
May your team have the Cubs' success over the last century.
Anyone have a closer on the trade market? Apparently, the previous owner forgot saves were a thing. It might explain the 11th finish. I have Ethier or some SP to offer.
Good luck picking up some saves. I've been trying for awhile as well. Any OF on my roster is up for trade for saves.
Traj, you looking to kove Kipnis? I saw you had him not starting and figured I should ask. I'm interested if so.
Gentlemen,
It was a pleasure playing with you guys these last few years, but this was my last season. I knew it going in and made a few trades that I would never have done otherwise (plus my draft), but, unfortunately, I didn't have enough to win one. Wish you all the best of luck going forward. Except Tuff Nut. I hope his team continues to fail for the next decade. I kid. If anyone was curious, the 27 yr old OF listed above was JD Martinez.
TCG
I renewed the league and sent invites to all owners. You can now renew your teams. Fantasy baseball is back baby yeah!
thatcoolguy_22, do you still want to drop out? We would like to have you back. If you still want to drop out let me know officially so I can find a replacement owner ASAP.
Renewed and ready to roll. Hopefully I can escape the middle of the table this year. It'll be fun no matter what.
When are we going to kick off the draft this year? I will be out of town from March 10 - 20 and it will be difficult for me to draft during this time period. Any way, we could kick off the draft in the beginning of March or after March 20?
I am back and ready to defend the cellar.
The Draft will start at 10:00am on Wednesday, March 23th. It will be a slow draft as in seasons past.
New Keeper Deadline: Next Sunday night at Midnight. You must set your 30 keepers by 11:59pm Sunday, March 13th. Use the Choose Keepers function on the website to select your keepers.
Each team may keep up to 30 major leaguers and 5 NA players. You need to select your 30 non-NA keepers. After the deadline I will manually add your 5 NA players to your roster. So go to My Team --> Choose Keepers to select your 30 non-NA keepers by Friday night. Again to clarify: Yahoo lets us keep no more than 30 players total using this system. So using this tool you need to select the 30 non-NA players you want to keep. I will add your NA players back to your team manually at a later date. If you have more than 5 NA players please let me know which ones you want to keep or drop.
Once again, You will choose 30 keepers. Do not keep your NA players. I will add your NA players back to your team after the keeper deadline has passed.
Question about availability of some players. I haven't checked all my leagues, but IIRC, in one of Brett's leagues, someone drafted Cody Reed. I have went to the players list on a couple other leagues, and when searching the only cody redd that whoes up, plays for Arizona.
We need one new owner in this league. First come, first served. Who wants to play?
- - - Updated - - -
Let's start the draft at Noon on Wednesday of this week. I will post the draft order tonight.
I have taken over HayPay's team until I can find a replacement owner on Redszone.
I am finalizing the rosters right now and I will add your NA players back to your rosters ASAP.
The draft will start Wednesday at Noon.
DRAFT RULES:
- The draft will be a straight draft consisting of 8 rounds. All rounds have the same draft order.
- The draft order will be the reverse of the prior year's standings.
- To make your pick just post your draftee's name on the league message board like this: "Round.pick Player Name" (1.1 Johan Santana or 5.12 Jay Bruce). Then you can add the player to your team by selecting him from the Free Agent list.
- You may not exceed the roster size limit. If you are at the limit when it is your turn to draft you must drop a player before you can draft a player. The dropped player will become draftable immediately -- the next team owner in the draft may select the droppped player without waiting for him to clear waivers.
- You have 8 hours to make your pick. If you have not placed your pick within 8 hours, the next player can go ahead and post his pick. You do not lose your skipped pick. You can still make your pick as soon as you return to the website.
- Multiple picks can be skipped. For example, 8 hours have elapsed since pick 4.3 was posted so pick 4.4 is skipped and pick 4.5 is on the clock. If 8 hours later pick 4.5 has not been posted then he is skipped and pick 4.6 is on the clock.
- If an owner has consecutive draft picks he only gets one 8-hour timer before both of his picks can be skipped.
- After you make your pick send an email to the next team owner to let him know it is his turn. This will speed up the draft. To send the email click on "Email League" at the top of any league page. Then click on the next owner and send him a message.
- If you ask someone else to post your pick or your draftee is on waivers the commissioner will add your player to your team page as soon as possible. Before you pick, make sure the player has not already been drafted.
- If your normal roster is full and you wish to draft an NA-eligible player to fill an available NA slot you must drop a player from your normal roster, draft and add the NA player and put him on your NA roster, then state in your draft pick post that you need the Commissioner to add the dropped player back to your regular roster.
- If you post your pick as a "Pass" you do not lose the pick. You may use that pick later at any time.
- If your draft turn arises when you already have an unused Skipped or Passed pick from a previous round your turn will automatically be Passed to keep the draft moving. Any Skipped or Passed picks can be used at any time.
- You can trade draft picks. The only pick you can't trade is the one that is "on the clock". We learned from experience that can cause long delays with owners dragging their feet on their pick in hopes of receiving a trade offer.
- Players added to the Yahoo player pool after the draft begins are not eligible to be drafted and will be placed on waivers after the draft is over.
- When all draft rounds are completed, the commissioner will set a date and time when all undrafted players will be eligible to be added on a first come, first served basis -- it is not a free-for-all as soon as the last draft pick is made.
If you would like to receive a text message when it is your turn to draft, send me a PM with your cell phone number.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
We can trade draft picks for the upcoming 2016 draft*, but we can't use the Yahoo trading system for doing so. If you would like to include an exchange of 2016 draft picks in a trade please do so using the Comments area of the trade proposal and notify me when the trade is complete so I can change the 2016 draft order. Any traded draft pick using the checkmark system in the trade proposal application will be considered a trade of 2017 draft picks. The checkmark system in the trade application shows that every team has a pick in every round, but due to traded picks that is certainly not the case for the 2017 draft. So if you forget and include 2016 draft picks in your trade proposals you are likely to end up trading picks that don't exist. Please consult the official 2016 draft order posted here and in the Commissioner's Note for use in all trades.
* The reason for this is because I had to tell our Yahoo league website that we already had our draft. If I didn't set it up this way we would not be able to see our rosters, make trades, or see the draftable players in the Free Agent list until after the draft is over in late March. Since we have a dynasty league it just works better this way. The website is set up to work primarily for standard re-draft leagues with live drafts. It takes some gerrymandering of the Commissioner Tools to make it work properly for a dynasty league
The Draft will start at 12:00 Noon on Wednesday, March 30th. It will be a slow draft with an 8 hour timer as in seasons past.
Note: Since Edd Roush and Tornon tied for 7th place last year I granted Tornon the 5th pick of the 1st round and gave Edd Roush the 5th pick in all subsequent rounds. Seemed like the fairest way to handle the tie.

Woo Hoo! Maybe I'll have a closer this year!
With pick 1.1 Tuff Nut selects Kenta Maeda, SP
Happy to play, just let me know the details fellas
Hey guys, BlackPete Ibold will be taking over HayPay's team. Welcome to the league sir!
You should probably read through this thread to get a feel for how it works. Also review the league setting on the Yahoo site to make sure you are familiar with the rules. Please feel free to ask questions at any time.
Just sent HayPay a message letting them know they were up in draft. Guess just let Pete know it is his turn, and welcome to the league.
Cool, let me get signed in after thd Reds game.
Will get a pick made sometime tonight if that works for all (sorry if I am causing undue delay!)
Nm, all good
Pick was made...
Not sure of who is who but if someone could inform the next guy that would be great
To see the draft order and all the picks that have been made so far, go to the Yahoo league website and scroll down to Commish Updates, then click Notes.
It looks like we have an opening in this league. Joseph has decided to give up his team because he no longer has the free time to manage it like he used to. I hate to see him go but I understand that real life can get in the way of a game.
If anyone would like to take over the team please send me a PM.
Still looking for one new owner to replace Joseph.
Just throwing it out there but I'd be very interested in any of the Dynasty leagues on here if you're looking for a new manager.
