A question on roster rules. I have Kyle Tucker and his AB make him ineligible for the minors. If I keep him as one of my 13 keepers and he starts the year in the minors I am able to send him down as 1 of my 5 minor leaguers at that point then?Yes. The rule that all of your roster must make the opening day roster or you lose them excludes your 13. Your 13 keepers are yours, with the exception that if you have 5 minor leaguers, someone will have to be dropped. If one of your 13 is DFAed, then you can only keep them if they're traded. If they become a FA, you lose them.
I vote No. I don't think we should be changing rules at different points in the season. A DL move in September is no different than one in May.Then we are in agreement.
A booby prize $ penalty for finishing last?
I mean that is down right mean.
I mean I could unblock Otto and just never go to the Bears board, but Curt. Damn.
I vote No. I don't think we should be changing rules at different points in the season. A DL move in September is no different than one in May.
In your example, "likely" means I ain't doin' it. Documentation is something from the team, league, or news source that ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT QUESTION, refers to a player as out for at least two weeks or more.
The only times we allow a player to be DLed in September is that documentation is provided that clearly states that the player is shut down for the season.
Can we define what “documentation... that clearly states” means?
For example, CBS has an update saying “player X is likely shut down for the season due to...” but no official DL move is made by the MLB team. Does that CBS note constitute sufficient documentation for DL in our league?
I still think a playoff of some sort could help. Maybe a first half champ against a second half champ so those out of it after a bad start still have a chance and stay engaged.We did entertain the idea, but the thought that the best team all season should prevail prevailed.
Do you have PayPal, CurtOne, or would it be better to send it via a method you’re more familiar with such as the Pony Express?You Nashville cracker. Do you read any of the CBS emails? My Paypal and real addresses were in there.

I think Curt already JR’s 10th rounder to me.Correct. Oz and I had a delay in emails. I'll re-negotiate.
Just wondering has everyone turned in their minor leaguers?yes
I have gotten an offer from CBS to sign up now for $30 off. Speak up today if you object to staying with CBS.
Take a break for awhile, JR. I'll pick your 13 for you.
I was just surfing Twitter and came across Fantrax. Have you ever looked into it. They “seem” to have automated a lot of the things that CBS doesn’t do and it looks like it is free.

El Mago Trade’s Curt 11th rounder and Archie Bradley to DDK for his 9th rounder.
Boy br got himself into a nice situation in the league. First he gets to take over the second place team and now Arenado looks like he's locked up long term.Watch Ray come back now, much like Bobby Boucher's daddy, Roberto...
Tico, go ahead and pick Albie Lopez Jr. so JR can’t pick him.

I have the #2 pick...Does anyone want to roll the dice and trade for it, and bet Harper/Kreushcell/Kimbrel make the opening day roster?Hang in there, dev, we're discussing options
I have 13 picks...if that is an issue?
Upcoming Dates:Mar 4 still the deadline?
your 13 due and all rosters cleared of free agents--March 4.
Minor league draft: March 5, Tuesday. Untimed, in reverse order of last year's finish.
MLB draft: TBD. Please email me or post when you will NOT be available in March. Timed draft must begin by March 15th. First scheduled game is March 20 in Japan. Timed draft may occur during that but must be completed before March 28 when the rest of baseball opens.

Brats roster at CBS looks good.You mean it looks correct. Good it ain't.
You mean it looks correct. Good it ain't.
I have to admit CurtOne, I just took a long look at the Red Hornets roster, and while my stomach wishes I hadn't, I actually was feeling a little sad for you on how correct it was looking.Actually, I don't look at it. Trying to keep my food down.
Ok. I'll just wait to crush JR's dreams of getting Tuffy.
Since when do you have a strategy?
El Mago welcomes Bryce Harper, OF, Phillies. I’ll be a much better owner than Snotnosed brats.
My picks are correct, sorry for the hold up.We could be in round 9 by now...
Well first order of business CBJ is to tell that traitor to quit tampering with my players.
http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/26144450/harper-again-lobbies-trout-join-philly
Glass Onions take UP Manny Machadoah, 82, small problem.
You sure you don't want Harper?
What day does timed draft start?Been debating that. We need to be done by March 20 for the first series in Japan. Rest of MLB starts March 28. Soooo, I am looking at March 18, if we care about Japan, or March 25 if we don't. I'm not sure the advantage of stealing some points because we know the outcome of Japan is worth holding the draft too early. I'm willing to hear from the group. Anyhow, if we keep things moving, maybe it's not an issue of any consequence.
Well if CurtOne had the #2 pick, he'd be wrestling between Machado and Brian Duensing, but aside from that, yeah it was the easiest.:(
Trading picks is fine. Holding up the draft to facilitate the move is inconsiderate.
And yeah I get it and sorry about the delay. On top of wanting to see if I could work a trade, I got caught up on something and had about 5 different guys I was considering for that pick and needed some time to sift through that. It wasn't all about waiting it out on a trade.Sorry, JR, that was not a personal jab at you. We will have delays when picks are due to our sleeping Aussies. We will have delays when people are traveling. We will have many understandable delays, so let's avoid unnecessary ones. Go ahead and negotiate pick trades, but when it's your turn...
I am really p!$$ed about those last 2 picks. Was literally going to go whichever one was there (or just pick one if they're both around).Fun, ain't it?
I am going to give up and take Collin McHugh HOU RP.

I think Boris I and Boris II had their picks mixed up please Mr Commishon the board of your rosters?

I really thought if I wanted Omar Narvaez back, he'd be easy to grab in the 5th or 6th rounds by the way. Definitely miscalculated on that one...

I almost took him with my end of second round pick. C is a fuggin nightmare.It's because an abnormal number of owners kept a catcher this year; some kept two.

And poop on you JR.
In Case You Missed it...As long as Adam Jones qualifies for this new rule, Glass Onions will take Adam Jones Az OF.
new rule passed last night
If the player you take is unsigned at the time or was unsigned before March 1, he must be on a roster by June 1 or he is lost. Regardless, he takes a spot on your roster until June1.
We are also at a point that keeping cards close to the vest is unnecessary. Please share lists with someone so we can keep things moving.
Scr*w that. I don't want anyone knowing the next player on my list is RP Dan Winkler...We understand the embarrassment of having him on your list.
My SP slots are full, but one of them is McCullers, who will be on the DL all season.
I know that, once the draft is concluded, I will be able to DL McCullers and select a replacement.
My question is, knowing that he will be on the DL, can I draft an SP replacement for him now, and select a different-positioned player to replace him later?
Food for Thought...as MLB goes...BBFL goes?more than likely. We'll probably add a catcher.
CHANGES EFFECTIVE IN 2020
Active roster provisions: The roster size from Opening Day through Aug. 31 will increase from 25 to 26 (with the minimum number of active players rising from 24 to 25, and roster sizes for doubleheaders rising from 26 to 27).

Doubtful that dev is around. He's on East coast. Really make an effort to be here or send a list, everybody.
When you get a chance, I need any one of my OF placed at UP, and Luke Voit placed at UP...then my roster will be..."chill" (source Urban Dictionary).done
if available then I'll take Ryon Healydone
Well today is certainly a happy day in the history of the Snotnosed Brats. :)
With the replacement draft can we replace keepers that get sent to the minors or is it only for injured players.Both. However, if you have players that you now which to waive, you have to wait until the next day after the season actually starts.
All teams have been checked.
Tomorrow, 1:00 teams with injured Oakland and Mariner players may replace. Game starts 5:30 am Wednesday, so don't forget. Only injured Mariners and A's DLed tomorrow. All other players will go through a Replacemnt "draft" next Thursday, the 28th. 82 will be posting that when we get closer to the date.
Trade to announce.illegal trade. Picks are not allowed until June.
El Mago sends Matz and a 12th rounder to da Brats for a 10th rounder.
To take his place El Mago will promote Chris Paddack and send Kyle Tucker to the minors.
Boris, do you and Jamie have the same internet service? He can't send emails either.
Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports that the Astros have reached agreement on a five-year, $100 million contract extension with Alex Bregman.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported less than an hour ago that the two sides were discussing a long-term deal, and now comes word that it's already at the finish line. This new contract will cover all three of Bregman's arbitration-eligible years while also locking up what would have been his first two years of free agency. The star third baseman will remain in Houston through at least the 2024 campaign. Bregman, 24, exploded to a .926 OPS with 31 home runs, 103 RBI, 10 stolen bases, and 105 runs scored over 157 regular-season games last season for the American League West-champion Astros. He's going 16th overall right now in the average Yahoo fantasy baseball league, and rightly so.
I thought it was Vlad, but I’ll confirm. Move Paddack up to SP and Tucker to the minors. I’ll replace Tucker in the minors draft.There is no minors draft until next March.
Since the Orioles are idiots, Old Style drops Austin Hays (drafted, sent to AAA) and signs Brian Goodwin.Since you can't replace him until the replacement draft, hang on to him. They may recall him if they have injuries this next week.
Just chatted with CBJ and I was wondering if it’d be all right to cancel the Tayron Guerrero part of the trade and just let me keep him?if YOU had dropped him, you could, but you didn't drop him, CBJ did. You can probably can get him back next Thursday
Corn Mashers drop Dan Winkler, pick up RP Justin Anderson, Dodgersdenied, all replacements made Thursday morning
Wendesday seems better.....Is that the day between Toosday and Thristyday in Australia?
The baseball gods have smiled upon the madmen's pitching staff thus far, i have a few too many, looking to swap a SP for a comparable hitter... all of the SP are available.
Do we need to post info for all DL replacements? Just wanting to make sure I understand protocol. Thanks.Those that CBS has marked as DL or IL, no further info is necessary. If not marked, yes, please find some evidence.
I've got two of those also, grrrr. I think we're screwed. I think it's saying that their teams aren't putting them on the DL at this time.
Great, thanks. I'll plan on replacing all three then. Didn't bring up McCullers because he's obvious, so actually 4 replacements for me. Hooray for 60% of my rotation and 40% of my bullpen to be on the DL to start the year!Vargas is available unless Robb snatches him.
Jed Lowrie (knee) will likely begin the year on the injured list.
Lowrie resumed throwing and hitting programs a little under a week and a half ago, but the Mets aren't rushing the infielder back. He and Todd Frazier (oblique) both will likely start the year on the IL, and we likely see them back around the middle of April.
Kevin Gausman (shoulder) is expected to begin the season on the injured list.
Gausman threw four scoreless innings in a minor league game on Tuesday and is slated to return to Grapefruit League action Sunday. However, it appears that the Braves will play it safe and place him on the injured list to give him a little more time. With Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) also on the shelf, that leaves Julio Teheran, Bryse Wilson, Kyle Wright, Sean Newcomb and Max Fried in the Atlanta rotation to start the season.
Are you sure you really want Moronta, method? I was going to take him.
Can we make other moves. It looks like Barreto is getting sent to the minors after their trade yesterday.
Please check your rosters, make sure I didn't accidentally drop someone. Those who missed their slots may still make changes, but since tico's time has expired, waivers are now accepted.
I haven't made my moves for Upton and Lindor. I assume I can make those now?
Forgot to drop Sisco when he got demoted because he Baltimore are ridiculously ridiculous.Sorry. We should have caught that when we swept your team. I have a foggy memory of doing so.
Let him go and pick up Grayson Greiner. If you’ve never heard of of him he’s from Detroit.
Mac Williamson was DFA'd. Please release and replace with Hanley Ramirez. Move Reddick to OF and place Ramirez at UP.This move was partially done, but not correctly so I didn't get points for Ramirez this week. Can someone backdate it?

In a humorous note, I'd like to point out to br that Caratini for me has more fantasy points than his two catchers, combined.

Is dropping a pitcher due to him being a reliever and have my 3 starts a waiver? If it isn’t I have zero, if it is I have 2. So confused.
I don’t believe those count as waivers, but I could be wrong...
Corn Mashers send Freddy Peralta to IL.This transaction may be deabted...Boris shoulod have received a waiver cliam on TT...he acknowledged the receipt of it...
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/04/brewers-activate-jeremy-jeffress-place-freddy-peralta-on-10-day-il.html
Call up Touki Touissant to replace.
Dev, you are correct. For whatever reason, I thought ISF dropped Touisssant AFTER Opening Day. He was sent down the 24th. So Boris, if you have a claim on Touissant before Iowa tried to reclaim him, it must be honored. Iowa, you'll have to pick someone else if that happens.I did receive a claim from Dev for Toussaint, but when I saw ISF post "Call up Touki Touissant to replace." I assumed he was in ISF's minors as a keeper. Was going to follow up today but it seems this has happened? So was Toussaint in ISF's minors? If so, it's all good. If not, Dev is the guy......
This transaction may be deabted...Boris shoulod have received a waiver cliam on TT...he acknowledged the receipt of it...Here's how I have been rolling - and yes, it is confusing - if a move is FORCED on a team (injury, change of role etc.) i have NOT been charging a waiver. If a team choses to drop a player, a waiver is charged. If anyone has been shafted this season due to teh above rule (I changed some waiver numbers as teams said I had "undercharged them"), please state your claims and I will fix. As always, PLEASE STATE YOUR TEAM NAME WHEN MAKING MOVES. Cheers!
All that discussion over one of my crap ass keepers? You guys are getting desperate...Due diligence. We wanted to get it right. Quality of the player was not the issue. Besides all your keepers were crap ass this year.
sorry i did not know that was a thing for injured peopleWaiver system is for players available for the first time. Jeffress was not available in the draft.
Glass Onions waive Trent Thorton RP, TOR, and sign BALT RP Miguel Castro for today's gameThis change was for a position change for Thornton, so I should have 13 waivers, since dropping Martin from my minors seems to have docked me a waiver.

...may Tyler White rot in hell.
Timing is essential here. I know there was a claim on Hendricks, not me, so if your 48 hours has run out to reclaim him, you may have lost him. I'll let Boris rule on that.Just verifying...whenever we waive or release anyone, we have 48 to nullify it?
From the "I Can't Quit you, Baby" files...Glass Onions IL Jacob deGrom and resign the prodigal professor, Kyle Hendricks Sp Cubs...who resurrected his season on Friday...but I doubt it.In place of deGrom, Glass Onions sign Ryan Yarbrough....
In place of deGrom, Glass Onions sign Ryan Yarbrough....I dated this the 17th, since we had to wait for Boris' ruling.
Good question. I would say for our purposes, starter refers to main pitcher.I disagree....you start the game...in counts as a start? No?
I disagree....you start the game...in counts as a start? No?
If more teams start doing it, it will make keeping 5 relievers even more difficult. .I agree. Not sure what kind of rule change we'll need. I might have to ask for CBS for help, but, Dev, when a manager decides to use a relief pitcher to begin a game doesn't make that guy a "starter" as we or CBS are defining him. Perhaps that's the key we'll have to hit...does CBS list him as an SP or an RP? If they list him as both, then we have to determine those individually.
Has Tucker cleared already?
Vlad Jr. cannot be elevated to the majors on the owner's birthday.

Method you need a 1B. Lots of CI’s but no one qualifies at First.
Divers DL C Smith, pick up Musgrove.
Isn't Musgrove supposed to be on the Madmen? I was thinking about making him my injury replacement for Lyles, but saw that method had wanted him as an injury replacement a couple of days ago too.
Madmen will DL Hunter Dozier and Carlos Carrasco. Pick up Colin Moran and Joe Musgrove to replace.
Madmen have some house keeping to do.That Yonny Chirinos? Looks like Madmen DL'd Carrasco twice and picked up 2 different guys.
Release Peraza to accomodate Dejong.
Activate Blackmon, and DL Haniger.
DL Dozier and pick up Colin Moran.
DL Carlos Carrasco and pick up Anibal Sanchez.
Also pick up Yonny Chirinos to replace Iglesias.
Edited to correct spelling and add chirinos.
Looks like Madmen DL'd Carrasco twice and picked up 2 different guys.
Chirinos has 7 starts on the year, can he really go into the bullpen?
Not without league approval...
Didnt realize he wasnt just following this year. I'll take Ryan Brasier instead.
Electric Amish puts Joey Gallo on the IL and calls up Yordan Alvarez from the minors.
Chi went in for knee surgery today, so we may not make changes as quickly as you'd like.
By the way, I got Ian Kinsler instead of Jason Kipnis on CBS...not that it really makes much of a difference.My bad. Hey, they both start with a K.
DL Mike Clevinger pick up Mike FiersCan't. Oz beat you to him. Want Vargas?
El Mago is trading Hansel Robles, Josh Donaldson, JR 8th and my 10th rounder to the forking shirtballs for his 4/5th rounder.Double-check him, Doc. I don't know if he knows where that is.
BR to confirm and post in the draft pick forum if he could.
I’ll Dominic Smith and Michael Lorenzen to replace if the are still available.
Trevor Story is in the pool. Accidental drop. Who does he belong to?
****** WAIVER CLAIM ********gotta roll da dice...t was 3 days gone
Snotnosed Brats claim Dallas Keuchel
With Chatwood hitting the 3 GS started threshold, El Mago thanks him for the tank and will replace him with Jacob Webb, RP Braves.Probably be 9 or 10 claims on that one.
El Mago would like to place Cody Bellinger and Eloy Jimenezon waivers
I still need an explanation. There’s no way 48 hours had passed.Hey Dave, I thought he had been up for two days when I posted the results, but i admit I didn't count it down to the exact time. I had been receiving claims on Kimbrel for days, and thought I had waited the prescribed time. I am usually accused of being too slow so I guess I can't win! If there is a grievance from the two higher guys on the wire I am happy to listen, but in my experience almost all claims come in well before the deadline.
Zach Plesac to the minors, Glass Onions place him there...sign Dinelson Lamet SDP SPSince there were covert claims on the maltese falcon, Glass Onions will sign Alex Young SP Arz instead.
Jose Urquidy to the minors, Glass Onions send him there, and recall Framber Valdez from the minors for Thursday's game.I need this done for today...today's only game.
I need this done for today...today's only game.What a freakin' disaster! LOL
Mrs. Lynn?Typing with my phone. I'm not too good at it.
Assuming no claims El Mago will add Andres Munoz Padres, RP and drop GottThere are claims on Munoz....
There are claims on Munoz....
His first game was 7/12 so let me know who I hate now.JR. Why not? Everybody else does.
The Brats activate CJ Cron from the DL and release Alex Dickerson.when did you take him?
I'm a little late to report this, but Dickerson was never added to my roster in the first place it looks like.
And the Brats place CJ Cron on the IL and sign Alex Dickerson to replace.
***** Waiver Claim *****
Andrez Munoz is claimed by Method's Madmen
El Mago will bring back Gott and send Webb to IL.
This just in...Luke Jackson just blew a save.
But got the win!Yes...a "Phil Regan" vulture win.
Shawn Kelly RP Tex, to the IL, Glass Onions place him there, and recall the called up Nestor Cortes of NYY RPThis was only half completed...Kelley is IL'd, but Cortes is still in my minors...I need this backdated to get points for Cortes' win last night. Thanks...
Hmmm. Members to the minors, pick up Wainwright. Pick up Wick, dump Dyson.Sorry. I made this move this morning on my phone, but for some reason it didn't complete.
Can I put Marwin Gonzalez at first base? He's played 14 games there this year, so I think he's technically a little short of qualifying in this league. But the only reason he's a regular in MLB is because he plays a lot of positions.Let's give it a shot. If he doesn't have 15 games by this time next week, make a different move.
If he can go to 1B, then I'll send Encarnacion to the IL, Marwin to 1B, and activate Piscotty from the IL for tomorrow's games. If not, I'll make a different move.
Divers IL Y Chirinos, pick up J Vargas (Phi) for tomorrow’s start.The Robb kiss of death.
Madmen send Castellanos and a 8th to Curt for a 5th.You think the Cubs will sign him?
Drop Barnhart who is back from the IL and drop Almora for Happ.
If there were no claims, Old Style signs Isan Díaz and waives Jesus Aguilar.Sorry bro, there were claims on the great man
Austin Riley to the IL, Glass Onions sign JD Davis Mets...Shawn Kelley off the IL, Glass Onions release him...Ginkel activated from waivers, release Nathan Eovaldi BoSox.The middle part, between the 2 ...'s, needs to be done.
CIN D Hernandez dropped to minors or DFAd replace him with MIL J Jeffress.You may wish to hold off on that until Cincy completes the DFA.
Forking Shirtballs will bring back Foltynewicz from the minors for tomorrow's game, drop Brad Keller.
Mitch Keller has been called up. Please release Alex Wood to make room.Still need this done. Thanks
Corn Mashers IL Avi Garcia, pick up Josh Rojas.claimed, need to pick another
Has Arozarena really cleared?Boris, please check yourself.
I think last night was his first appearance.
Waiver Wire August 12, 2019
...
4 Forking Shirtballs (6) (Jeffress, Will Smith)
I've been meaning to clarify this...I had 8 waivers left on the previous update (August 5) and I did make two non-injury/minors moves, but one was replacing Greg Holland when he was DFA'd by the Diamondbacks. Does that count as a waiver?No, it shouldn't and Boris will be appropriately chastised and disciplined.
Has Arozarena really cleared?This is correct. My bad, he was called up same day as Rojas, so I assumed fair game. he did appear in a game later. If anyone wants to put a claim on Arozarena, have at it.
I think last night was his first appearance.
Who is IS?Imagine Snapdragons
Drop Drew Smyly pick up Adrian HouserAlways team name PLEASE!
El Mago will drop Trevor Gott and replace him with Hunter Harvery, Orioles.I made this move, but I need to see evidence that Harvey will be in the pen.
Oz Busters send Aaron Sanchez to the IL to make room for Logan Webb.Crick cannot be replaced. His is a 3 game suspension and his MLB cannot replace him. Our rule is if it is a long suspension and MLB allows replacement, so do we.
Also pick up Chaz Roe to cover for the suspended Kyle Crick
I made this move, but I need to see evidence that Harvey will be in the pen.
Seid Reid Foley to the minors, Glass Onions pick up Trevor Richards, TB SP for tonights game...I can't find a Reid Foley on your team.
In regards to this post.....El Mago will also drop Addison Russell and replace him with Nick Solak, 2B Rangers.I'm confused.
BORIS????
I can't find a Reid Foley on your team.
I'm confused.
Sean Reid-Foley is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays....I would have appreciated it if you had spelled it that way the first time.
I would have appreciated it if you had spelled it that way the first time.I apologize. You can'tjust cut and paste from these player profiles. So I had to remember 3 names and a punctuation point. Sorry...(do I get Trevor Richards points? I am closing in on 10th place!
Shirtballs send Piscotty to the IL, pick up Brandon Belt to replace.
In regards to this post.....El Mago will also drop Addison Russell and replace him with Nick Solak, 2B Rangers.
BORIS????
Apologies Dev, been interstate with limited access -...Is that what they're calling asylums and "rest" homes over in Aussie Land these days, Boris? Over here Interstates are highways.
**** GLASS ONIONS CLAIM NICK SOLAK *****
Corn Mashers activate and release Avi Garcia and Christin Stewart.
Corn Mashers IL Tapia, activate Wendle at UP.
Also need this one made and backdated.Got'em both. Apologies for missing them.
If it makes you feel any better, my starting pitchers have blown a win and/or a quality start by imploding in the 5th/6th inning at least five times in the last week. That includes three times where they had at least a 5 run lead at some point then were so bad they were pulled after 4 2/3 IP. So my team is refusing to take full advantage of your slump.
Enough info on Keller. Moved him to IL If the Atlanta game has not started yet, you'll get points.
Corn Mashers IL Muncy, pick up Jake "The Bat" Cave to replace.
If Scooter Gennett isn’t good enough for the Giants then he’s not good enough for me.
Oz Busters say see ya Scooter and promote Nate Lowe from the minors.
Chris Bassitt has left the A's for a few days for paternity leave. With the expanded rosters, though, he isn't going to be officially placed on the paternity list. Do I still get to replace him?If the A's replace him, then yes
https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/athletics-chris-bassitt-pushed-back-to-saturday/
The Brats want to go ahead and do the Lyles for Maeda add/drop anyway.Already done.
Please reinstate Pineda and drop Odirizzi.Would be nice if you spelled the name right.
I can't find a Reid Foley on your team.
Seid Reid Foley to the minors, Glass Onions pick up Trevor Richards, TB SP for tonights game...Touche
***** Waiver Claim ******
Madmen claim Jailyn Davis
Divers active Astudillo and release McCann.hmmmm
I don't think Hoerner's points were counted yesterday after I activated him.it shows up as active. Watch it for awhile.
Glass Onions activate Austin Riley OF from the IL, and release Hunter Renfroe OF SDPRenfroe should be in thepool not on my IL (slash)
Angels' Mike Trout: Needs surgery, out for season
September 15, 2019 2:50 PM ET | by RotoWire Staff
Trout (toe) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery later this week to remove the Morton's neuroma in his right foot.
After being shut down for more than a week with the toe injury, Trout was hopeful to return to the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, but those plans were nixed when he continued to experience pain during an on-field workout. Trout, who previously underwent a minor procedure a few days ago on his toe, will presumably undergo a more complex surgery to rid himself of the issue once and for all. The Angels won't have a timeline for Trout's return to action until after surgery is completed, but it seems highly likely that his season is over. Assuming that's the case, he'll wrap up another MVP-worthy campaign with a .291/.438/.645 slash line, a career-high 45 home runs, 104 RBI, 110 runs and 11 steals in 134 games.
White Sox's Lucas Giolito: Done for season
10 hrs ago | by RotoWire Staff
Giolito won't pitch again this season after being diagnosed with a mild lat strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Giolito evidently picked up the injury during his last start Thursday against Kansas City, and as a result, he'll be shut down for the last few weeks of the 2019 campaign. Ross Detwiler will start for Giolito on Tuesday in Minnesota.
By the way, I feel genuinely awful that my mind shifted as quickly as it did to who would be getting Pittsburgh's saves after Vasquez's arrest, and I'm pretty sure this makes me a bad person.I thought it was well within our working knowledge of your character. Which reminds me, are you still prohibited from living near a school or playground?
**** Waiver Wire ****legit
three claims on James Karinchak. Highest claimant is Downunder Diamond Kings (lodged with Kurt).
In a Diaz swap, Glass Onions release Jairo Col RP and sign Edwin NYMets RP.Translation: Glass Onions waive Jairo Diaz Col RP, and sign Edwin Diaz, NYMets RP.
Oz Busters reverse the Lourdes Gurriel for Nate Lowe transaction from yesterday as Gurriel has gone straight back to the IL.
I’ll send Acuna to the IL, bring back Kole Calhoun to replace.
You have so many Lowes I got confused.
Congrats Forkballs!!!ditto
Thanks everyone, and thanks to the previous owner who put most of the team together. Glad I didn't mess it up.No worries, Brandon Morrow is a free agent
Looking forward to the challenge of doing it again next year without having Gerrit Cole getting me an easy 30 points every 5 days.
btw.. cbs also allows for draft pick trades. It can be turned on in commish settings, it simply does not account for the randomized first round for the top 8 picks.Okay, so what's your vote?
How about now?Thanks mate, all good now. Will have a play and report back!
I think you are on the 2019 league and need to update the link.
*I think all you have to do is sign out and sign back in and it should take you to the new link. If you are using a bookmark you have update that. I do most everything from the app. *
I'm fine with whatever.I used to be up for whatever, but I'm older now and too tired.
Can I opt out of th new league. It sounds like a lot more work to be competitive with fewer keepers and more roster moves. Ain't no one got time for all that.
It is all up in the air at this point. The transactions will be limited like CBS.
Daily line up edits? Weekly? Roto? Points? How deep of rosters?
CBS paid: Curt, Joe, br, method, Ryno, dev, JR, Boris, Jamie, Sam (Otherwise known as Larry, Curly, and Moe), Dave, Robb 12
To pay, 82, Grrrr, tico, Iowa
If you've paid and I missed it, please let me know.

Divers losing Rendon this year to FA. Divers seemingly going to lose Betts, too, as his desire to go FA was a major part of the reason Boston traded him in the first place.. Have your guys wear buzzers and pound trash cans.
How the hell do I get some of that JR luck and have my marquee players sign major extensions?!
