I'm planning to make the roster positions/limits/etc match what we did in 2023. Just haven't done it yet. It's all default right now.

Draft time slot is set in stone. I think it will randomize the order an hour before.

I will donate $50. I need a reason to watch non-Astro games.

I added payment info to the league note and league message board.

Right now I see myself, @Scraps, @castolon, @hornmpa96, and (I think) @UTHornFan014 in the league.

@Derka/@henrygandorf, @Capn81, @txhorns, and @VolenteHawk gives us 9 with still some time left to recruit. Y'all get in the motherfucker. I may risk bannination by immamac and post this in the football recruiting thread.

I tried to send Volente an email from our last league page. He said he's down but doesn't really seem active on Surly anymore.

Yep, I'm in there (team name $50 Donation). Let me know when and where to send the monies. 

I might be interested. Roto? 12 team or more would be my criteria. Hate head to head and not great at points leagues.

Got it. I’ll get signed up and paid tomorrow.

Good Luck, boys.

Yeah it’s roto. We’re shooting for 12 but just to be honest with you we may not get there. I think you would make 10.

Couple items for discussion on league settings

  1. Do y'all want to do Saves or Saves+Holds?
  2. Daily or weekly lineup changes? We've done daily in the past but weekly might be a little more chill. I don't mind daily but I know some people don't love the grind.

Hell yeah. The invite link is in the first post of this thread.

Recapping the current state of league recruitment:

We cookin'. Let's get 1-2 more and get the ball rolling.

2 spots left...

Does anyone have strong thoughts on daily vs weekly transactions, and Saves vs Saves+Holds? Leaning toward daily and Saves-only right now but I'm open to being persuaded.

Payment info is in the ESPN league message board. Payment is due by the draft. I'm not gonna worry about getting people to pay up during/after the season.

Just joined the league on ESPN.  You are all going to die.

OK I removed Devin. I think I need your email to add you as a manager to Money Beets. You can PM it to me.

Also, that puts us back at 11. Anyone lurking this thread or knows somebody, we've got 1 open spot.

Any interest in expanding the bench spots? 4 is really low IMO.

I wanted to keep it on the small side because the active rosters are so big. The idea is to encourage more free agent/waiver action versus stashing and holding anyone with any value.

Open to hearing other perspectives though. Should we go bigger bench but take out the extra IF and OF?

You can leave it as is. It was a personal preference so I thought to ask.

Is this winner takes all or top 3 get payouts or something different altogether?

Top 3. If we stick at 11 teams:

  1. $300
  2. $150
  3. $100

At this point it looks like we're not going to find a 12th. Here's team names and Surly handles for future reference.

Payment is due by the time of the draft. My payment info (Venmo and Zelle) is posted on the ESPN league message board. If you can't find it, PM me on Surly. Not to be a dick, but I'm not fucking around about that. I'm not gonna stress over getting people to pay up during/after the season. I'll send out an email as well.

alright, thanks for all of the hard work @tokamak, i’m crunk that we’re reviving this league. LFG!!!

payment sent, but i don't know any fantasy leagues that pay up-front anymore and there's never drama at season's end, including the shaggy assholes one. we're all adults i assume.

I hear you, I just don't feel like stressing about/keeping track of who's done what.

Almost everyone is paid up. I'm going to send out another round of emails and PMs. If you don't get one today, you're golden.

@tokamak you should be able to override or delete that team right? Roto doesn't have to have even numbers

Surly Roto 2025
Be aware that if the league is not full at least one hour before the scheduled draft time, your draft will not be held and you will have to reschedule for another time.

Still need your payment

Shit just realized that the draft is tonight and not tomorrow 

Hornmpa96 and Butch Had Not both already changed team names so not sure who is 1 and who is 10

Draft Order:

1. Oscar Gamble's Hat
2. Derka/HG
3. Scraps
4. UTHornFan014
5. txhorns
6. Capn81
7. Tokamak
8. VolenteHawk
9. Doc Sam Beckett
10. Cookies and Orange Slices
11. Castolon

I’m Oscar Gamble’s Hat and being on the clock for an hour sucks.

I may have missed something in the rules. I went to set my lineup for Opening Day and a DH is not allowed to start in the Utility spot. 

I think teams with Schwarber and Rooker will have the same issue that I have with Shohei.

It’s because you have him in a pitcher slot. He can be in one or the other
