Additionally, Fantrax has launched an app in the google play store replacing the previous smart web browser base thing they had before. I would assume its the apple store but I'm not a basic white ***** so idk if it really is are not there. According to sources, you should delete the old web app before installing the new one

Michigan won the long game on Al Washington. This is the Ohio State thread. Go talk about Michigan on the Michigan thread. Is there even a Michigan thread or people to post in it?

Question....
How many of you know and/or use the Discord app?
I'm involved with a few things including other fantasy leagues that utilize discord for a lot of communications. It's pretty easy to use and might be a convenient way to consolidate our communications.

I recently got into a dynasty roto league and an interesting category change from the standard 5x5 was replacing the win category with QA(quality APPEARANCE) not to be confused with QS. Apparently fantrax has that as a scoring option and it looks something like this: Quality Appearance: 4IP/0Runs 5IP/1Run 6IP/2Runs 7IP/3Runs
Now I'm not sure if all of those equal 1 QA or they have to pick one, I'm not a commish in that league to see how it works.
I found it interesting and thought I would share.

Tigers sign Javier Baez to a 6 year 140mil contract.
Not my 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd choice. But at that contract seems cheap compared to what could of been. He certainly is an "exciting" player but suspect defense and huge SO% give me pause.
Now more than ever I think it is imperative that they sign another SP, preferably Stroman, and back end RP help.

Two early moves for the Tigers indicating that the club is now pushing to compete within the division for the playoffs. - Added Tucker Barnhart from Cincy via trade
- Signed Eduardo Rodriquez to a 5 yr $77 mill contract
Both positions of need for the big club at reasonable costs imho.
The remaining shopping list includes a SS, SP and possibly an OF.
My preference is Correa for SS with Seager and Semian as next in line. Would love to see JV back as mentor for the young rotation as well.

what are the dates for keepers and rosters locked? Historically keeper date is sometime in late February or early March if my memory is good. As for rosters locking, I believe they locked once our season was complete. Something I forgot to bring up for discussion was off season transaction periods of some sort. Akin to the winter meetings where a bunch of transactions happen. I'm not sure how it could work but just an idea I have been spitballing with myself.

At the conclusion of the minors draft, we will hold a 24 hour waiver period for all draft eligible players. Due to the nature of how we execute our draft/rosters, this waiver period needs to be done manually.
Minor Draft eligible players should not be added by individual owners. Instead all waivers should be submitted to the commissioners office.
Discussions between CEO and myself have determined owners should submit any claims to myself(since CEO happens to be #1 in the current waiver order). Claims can be sent via PM on NCOAST, email wes.reed77@gmail.com, or PM in the league chat. The league chat option however is the least desirable as the nature of the chat room leads to me possibly missing a post.
No earlier than 24 hours after the last pick in the draft and as close to the 24 hour mark, waivers will be processed manually.
A couple of extra notes:
Minor roster limit is 17. However, similar to how we allow trading of active draft picks to go over the max roster limit of 25, the same applies to the minors draft. To accommodate that, software limits are adjust to allow those owners to utilize those picks until the keeper date next spring when all rosters cut down to the keeper limit. Therefore, we must go with the honor system through the end of the season. Do no add more than 17 minors to your rosters.
When submitting waiver claims, clearly state claim priorities and if required, drop priorities.
If in doubt about anything....ask.... all questions are good questions.

tried to place acuna on the dl and promote ktucker. roster limit exceeded error message. thought we added the 4th IL spot to cover something like this. By the looks of it you have 25 on your active roster with that 4th IL alot still open.

The vote to increase IL slots to 4 and eliminate the "Active IL Keeper Rule" has passed. In the interest of consistency for all owners, since games have already begun play today, is to have the rule change become active after all today's games have been concluded.

1. expanding active rosters by 5 and decreasing minors by 5 is something we could do immediately (along with adding a 4th IR spot) if we had a consensus, imho...owners would just have to pick which 5 minors to "promote" to the active roster
2. when i ramble on about just giving each owner a 40-man roster i am thinking they can sign whoever they want, there would me no "minors" players there would just be an owner with 40-roster spots to fill as they saw fit...now there would need to be some checks and balances (i.e. dickhead owner has (20) SPs on his bench) and that is something we would need an entire off-season to discuss/brainstorm/outright reject...it was just an idea and not something that is even related to the more pertinent matter at hand which is helping owners get a starting lineup together 3. i think definitely though we should get a discussion board going for roster ideas for the future in light of recent changes 1) by the MLB IR rule and 2) by having a new site that allows us to re-think the way we had to adapt ourselves to the ESPN site One gap I see with this is not every owner actually has 5 players they could promote. Also I think we would need an avenue to keep owners from "losing" players prematurely, as in keeper levels.
Let's start a thread on the league message board to keep the discussion on topic and leave this thread for our normal BS.

No matter what we have to come to some type of consensus....not sure how we get there unless we have several, somewhat detailed options laid out in front of us.

or we could just go balls to the wall and give each owner a 40-man roster and say hey manage it just eliminate minors altogether haha let's get nuts...could see some issues arising if a team went full tank (def would need to idea board the Poop out of it) but it would make things easy to manage for the Commish and Co. Another good thought. We could always adjust minor eligibility rules. This all still coincides with how we want to rectify the whole minor saga. We developed a possible solution that TESLA tested out but basically me and SOUTH haven't really come to a firm consensus on what the next step is. And I think we passed his loosely set deadline.

another option would be to reduce minors roster by 5 and increase active roster by 5 an extra DL spot is great but if we did the roster ingestion it would help teams field a full lineup (4 dl, 5 new roster spots), which is what we want in the end...even if we have to whore out Randall Grichuk to each other every week prob would help in that regard (being able to get a start a "full"er lineup vs an opponent) without causing too great a run on the FA pool, i think most owners have 2-3 minors that are in the majors now also wouldn't force owners to cut anyone unless they chose to it just seems since the new IR rules (i am talking MLB rule change) that MLB teams will gerrymander the snot out of who is injured and who isn't, so the roster crunch for us is a phenomena that is being driven on the MLB level by something beyond even covid, which is the roster needs of individual MLB teams on any given day/week/month...this means we might need a solution not a band-aid...because even when covid is not a factor the MLB teams will find a reason to IR somebody if it benefits them because it has become so easy to do so That idea has merit. It slightly adjusts how owners can or want to manage their minors. Currently we can stuff minors with a load of MLB players and have a large stream of available players albeit with the risk of losing them if we call up too early. Or we can fill them with all true prospects and have no fill in. Either way I think that is a post season adjustment. I would suggest polishing up that idea and posting on the rule change thread on the league page.

If nobody is strongly against it, lets get a poll up? I'm at about the spot where I'm going to have to drop people of significance to fill voids on my team, I wouldn't want to vote on it after people have to start doing that. I'm gonna go ahead and ask forgiveness instead of permission and post a poll for the IL question. I messaged SOUTH but haven't heard back yet.
