If you need another player, and someone to most stay close to the relegation zone, lemme know!

Sent a PM to this guy to take over Simmer's long-neglected team.

If anyone wants to take over Thrill's team, we can work that out too.

I'm in!

Send me your email address and I'll get you signed in.

Here are your keeper options, let me know what you think.

Matt Kemp - Round 1
Trevor Rosenthal - 2
Hanley Ramirez - 3
Zach Britton - 4
Lance McCullers - 5
Justin Verlander - 6
Patrick Corbin - 7
Jake Odorizzi - 8
Jaime Garcia - 9
Starling Marte - 11
Lorenzo Cain - 12
David Wright - 13
Joakim Soria - 13
John Azford - 13
Mat Latos - 13
Tyler Clippard - 13
Corey Kluber - 14
Yan Gomes - 15
Clay Buchholz - 16
Steve Cishek - 17
Neil Walker - 19
Dexter Fowler - 20
Jung Ho Kang - 22
Melky Cabrera - 23

If you want guys from the same round, you have to bump one up.

I think your best bets are:
Verlander
Marte (LF, CF)
Cain (CF, RF)
Kluber
Fowler (CF)

Let us know and we can enter them ASAP.

Since Pen is angry that Excel doesn't input the keepers into Yahoo, a set of instructions:
If you have keepers that are in the same round, on the Keeper tab, under the "KeeperOverallPick" column, change the draft pick number to the appropriate number.
For example, if you have 2 13th round keepers, and your 13th round pick number is 135, it will show them both as 135. We all know they can't be pick 135, so go to the Draft Order tab, find what # pick your 12th round pick is. If that number is 123, then input that on the Keeper tab (KeeperOverallPick column) next to the guy you want to keep in the 12th round.

If you go back to the draft order tab, they are now showing up in the 12th round.

No, Pen is angry that I can't use the spreadsheet to input players into Yahoo because any teams will multiple picks in the same round can't/didn't/didn't know to differentiate.

The old way has worked perfectly for all these years, unlike this way.

Okay, draft order set and everyone has been assigned commissioner access.

So either set your keepers in yourself, or post them here and I'll do it.

Let's try to have this done quickly.

I see none of these things are happening.

Perhaps another attempt?

Or should I be looking at what people have marked on CD's spreadsheet? That seems like the worst of the three options.

TPD.

Looks like people are using the dumb spreadsheet. It doesn't help you differentiate when guys are in the same round, but I'll just make decisions and people can check.

I mean, regardless of what happens with Heyward's offense, or his contract, do the Cubs win the 2016 World Series without him?

Yeah, probably.

Literally nobody knows.

His local obit is fantastic.

"No one hated the Mets more than Billy Hands," said Bill Fish, the golf pro at Islands End in Greenport, who played golf with Mr. Hands every Friday for the past five or six years from April to October. He still wore his Cubs hat and rooted for Chicago.

BUMP for 2017.

Hey look, Ryan Dempster shitting the bed and walking the world in an important game. Who could've guessed.

Are you having a stroke?

He's pitching for Team Canada.
They played Team USA yesterday and he managed to record one out while letting a lot of guys on base and a handful of them to score.

Ah.

Yeah, see I give zero fucks about the WBC.

The WBC has been all sorts of fun.  If you're into the whole baseball thing.

I like that the Dominican team is stocked with studs but that the US team has a bunch of losers.   Seems even.

The Dominican team has Johnny Cueto and 17 relievers.

New promo. Everyone's favorite chicken restaurant proprietor is in it (suck it, Colonel Sanders and uncomfortably overmuscled chicken). We're one month out.

Hmm.  April 10.  First night of Passover.  Oh well.  That is what the "record" function is for.

Recording Passover means you get to keep rewinding glasses of wine.

This is very smart, Stew.

I know that nobody cares anymore, but Mike Glennon is pretty bad and this isn't going to go well.

If we're fortunate, the team really sucks this year, an inevitable housecleaning from Phillips on down is evident around Halloween, around which time Virginia passes peacefully. Her ten children at different stages in life, different goals, different interests, and different liquidity statuses might be willing to listen to an ego-driven billionaire who could make a lot of their problems go away and truly allow the Bears to rebuild correctly.

(On the downside, the first phone call I'd expect a smart owner to make upon buying the Bears would be to 773-404-2827, pressing # for the dial by name directory, and then the numbers 3-7-7-8-3-4-6. It's not without precedent.)

Realistically, the defense should be a shade better, and the team will go 5-11 with some marked improvement on the defensive side of the ball, possibly 7-9 if the running game does anything. Fox is probably gone, but Pace probably survives, and Ted Phillips and the rest of the real brass stay.

The Bears regime from 1986 until today (31 years and counting) in which the McCaskeys clearly have run the show has to be the worst-run period of any franchise in Chicago history, and that includes P.K. Wrigley's Cubs and Bill Wirtz's Blackhawks.

Pretty much the only hope is that they still draft DeShaun Watson even with the Glennon signing and he fairly-miraculously turns out to be awesome.

But that won't happen.

They'll get a stud defender instead and he'll probably be good but they'll be bad.
