when is this supposed to go down?

Have you sent a lineup to Hanny?  Moultar's sent one in.  Lets get this series over with.

i haven't done the math, but at the end of rounds 4-7 will everyone be on a team, or will there still be free-agents?

well, as of right now there are like 13 extra players on the free agent list.

but there are a number of people on that list who haven't participated in the thread in ages. so, the plan is to prune that list back so that all of the people who hang out here get picked up by a team.

I think we're up to 16 now.  Who's going to determine who stays and who goes?

I just went through the list and I had a hard time picking out more than 8.  I feel sorry for whoever has to make these choices.

so if we have people "left over" at the end of the draft, does that mean they just hang around hoping to get picked up if a manager decides they want to let someone go once the season is under way? i'm just kinda dreading that not getting picked for a team feeling!

I have a hard time believing you won't be picked up.  I'd loved to see you in a Blasters uniform based just on your team spirit.

yes. but the hope is that there are 16 people listed on page one who really don't hang out here very much or at all anymore. if those stations get snipped, then all of the people who actually care about this stuff and want to play will get to play.

it's also not a cut and dry process. matt posted a list a couple weeks ago and ezrad responded and said she's just been really busy but loves fake baseball and will be back shortly. so she likely will not be on the list.

At some point I would love to try to manage, but I also wouldn't want to ruin everything and lose the game.

You'll do plenty of managing when we're running Singles Party.

That'll be the fucking day.  We're going to be an unstoppable team, just like we are whenever we team up.  (See. NFL Street See. 2 on 2 basketball)

This is the kind of info I would like to know before draft day.  I know Matt's very anti new threads, but I'll like to see a thread started where players can let managers know that they want to manage some games.  That's some useful info to know prior to the draft.
People could put that kind of stuff in this thread and it could be added to the first post by Matt or Mike Hall.

I'm able to manage if I got pick up. I'm not gonna be around all the time hence why I'm not managing next season but I'll still be around a good amount of time.

good to find the thread again i was wondering where fake baseball had gone over the last week or so. I have been busy and haven't been able to contribute.
If I can't make Daredevil and Nightwing team up against Hellboy, I don't think I want to play this game anymore.

I'd love to try managing a couple games, but my hours would mostly be in the later evening on the west coast, so I'm probably not very useful.

i just saw this. the past week has been crazy and the next week is going to be just as crazy. i am gonna have to rely on co-managers yet again i believe. im gonna try to be around but i absolutely can not get canned right now. i have the feeling we're gonna be carrying the third roommate for a little while

Are people going to be able to trade off picks and stuff?  Like if I was really looking to get one player could I take money and like their 6th round pick from another team for say my second round pick?  or something like that, if that makes sense?

Draft day movement is the best.
