Painting the Black Baseball League

Dutch,

It's unfortunate you won't be around that week.  I'm not opposed to moving it but don't want to create additional conflicts as well.

Does anyone have any issues if we change the start the of MFLAD to Monday March 27th or Monday April 10th?  Just trying to see if there is a more ideal start date for everyone.

If it could be postponed one week, that'd be great. On April 3 I am on vacation and not sure if I have the possibility to connect, cause I am out of the continent.

If I'd pick in the final spots I wouldn't mind but I am picking 4th.

We will be changing the start date of the 2023 MLFAD.  Originally it was scheduled to start Monday March 13th.  The start date will now be moved to Monday April 10th.

We need additional time to clean up some player transactions to ensure rosters are as accurate as possible.  This will also allow proper time for all GMs to focus on getting your 40 man rosters set by March 26th.   

Thanks!

Thanks!

We have been keeping a running list.  I will admit with the forum upgrade we are a little behind adding all the 2022 FYPD picks to rosters.  I was planning to work on that once free agency was coming to a close.


I have moved the running list to the Commissioner's Desk forum.  It is here: https://paintingtheblack.com/index.php?board=1.0

Feel free to add any players you know are not in Fantrax to this list if you know they are not in Fantrax yet.

I think they do, but I would recommend you to make a list of them as well if some player escapes through the mazes of the Admins' control.

I usually put a note of it in my own draft history although I don't see them now on my own roster constructions (not sure if they were all added or I just forgot).

I started doing so because of a different league I was in where had to I make a special post for the pending players because the Commissioner didn't do dog shit. Fortunately I left that league. But it was a good lesson and helps you to exercise some control and tracking over your own players, it never hurts to do so.

I have a handful of 2022 FYPD draft choices that were not on Fantrax then and have since been added to the player pool.  Will you be checking on those or should we post a list somewhere here so you can add them when you have time?

Thanks,
Drew

This is just a friendly reminder that you will need to be at 40 or less on your active roster by March 26th.  We have allowed you to go over for now since we called everyone up from your minors when rosters were processed for the offseason.  But if you are over 40 you will need to demote some y2y1 or y2y2 or subject y2y3 (or higher) and MLB contracts to waivers to make room. 

Keep this in mind as you bid on players.  You will have to make space by 3/26.

I have added a modification called topic solved.  This is normally used as a mod to marked issues on forums as solved but for us it will be helpful to mark topics as solved when they are complete. 

When the commissioner team  (Columbus, DC & Manila) is done processing roster declarations, free agents, waivers, drafts rounds, etc..., we will now mark these threads as solved and it will add a green check mark to the thread and also highlight it in green.

I believe this will be a good mod for us to keep track of what is complete and pending.

Let me know if you see any issues.

Welcome to the league Brent!  It's a lot of fun, hope you enjoy it.
