Let redsox pick who we start auction with

[Minnesota Twins]

Since nyy doesn't like to talk throw the redsox a bone?

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

If NYY can't log in to suggest a starting point, then I don't think we are ready to start the auction.

[torontobluejays]

Brewers and I have been helping NYY get up to speed. He will pick the starting point.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

I would love it if this man of mystery would post an introduction.

[Minnesota Twins]

It does seem strange. Why doesn't he post? This league requires a level of commitment so hes gonna have to login. I don't want to be waiting on this guy forever everyone we need all teams to do something

[Detroit]

Personally, I think it's time to move on and find a replacement.

I know everyone has been trying to be patient for this to evolve, but enough is enough. I say we cut our losses and find someone who will put in the time the league needs.
This league is a round the year commitment. It's not easy and not for everybody.

Sorry if I have offended anyone. Just my opinion, but I will be ok with whatever direction you guys decide to go. It is time to get on with free agency!

[Detroit]

Did not see the Yankees roster post before my last comment.

We will need to help the Yankees to not be shy! We are vultures, but gentle vultures!

Toronto..if you know NYY personally, I would maybe suggest you do what Detroit did for me. Get NYY on the phone and walk him through things, especially this communication hub, as well as things he will immediately need to know for the upcoming auctions. That's if you have not done so already. I'm assuming he is not too familiar with how this web site works (ie. reading new posts, knowing when you have a new email etc). Again, assuming he is not already up to speed.

Otherwise, it sure feels like we're about to have an auction. My first auction!!!

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

Yeah, I bet you'll be out of money by Nov 1.

No way, Pitts!!!


Also if I had the opportunity to make the first selection, Brew selects EVERYBODY all at once!!! I'd have this thing wrapped up in half a night I'm that good.


Brew

[torontobluejays]

He and I are discussing the auction. He will be ready to go. Once the final auction list is posted, I will get him to pick the first selection.

[New York Yankees]

Hey Guys,
I did post previously under the "Shoutbox", that's how I met Brewers. When I 1st joined near the end of the season, I was told it was best to wait until the end of the season to make transactions since I would waste a year of eligibility. What I did wrong was not check the message boards regularly, I would check Yahoo regularly but obviously that was not the place to be. I'm now a little more up to speed as both Brewers and Toronto have been helping me. I will check the message boards regularly from now on and apologize for my prior "stupidity". I've been playing fantasy sports for the last 15 years and run several successful leagues myself. If u give me a chance, I hope I won't disappoint!

Waiting to hear back from Toronto shortly and I'll provide everyone with my pick soon after (if no response, then I'll just wing it and make a selection later today). I hope that is ok.

Mike "NYY" (btw any chance of changing team names?)

[Detroit]

Welcome Yankees! Good to have you on board!

I'll trade you team names...not sure if the league can do that though. But, welcome!

Whoa whoa whoa.


If we're trading team names, I want dibs on being called the NYY. I feel like everybody is laughing at me when my team's name is Brewers.

[Minnesota Twins]

We haven't allowed trading team names in past I know. Just pick a starting point, not that big of a deal.
