Time to start thinking about fantasy baseball.
Year number 7! of the Lucky 13 league.
Last years managers: great one chicagotrs barilko6 wiggs toral wolfer art for the hall wazaaap_guy jackhammers Pancho Villa sR robJ slizz
I will send out an email to everyone in the next couple days to gage interest. Check in here if you are definitely in or out for this season. I also need to look over last years rosters and figure out which players are keeper eligible.
I figure we will get started with the draft either 2/16 or 2/23. Hopefully we will be able to use Kafenatid again this year as it really makes managing the draft smoother.

I will either free form the keeper/farmer picks or you can enter them when you get on the clock. Remember...you need to draft a farmer hitter and pitcher.
Here are the remaining picks to be made in the last rounds: 26.1 Pancho Villa 26.3 toral 26.4 sR 26.5 art for the hall 26.6 robJ 26.7 wolfer 26.8 jackhammers 26.10 great one 26.12 chicagotrs 26.13 barilko6 27.1 barilko6 27.2 chicagotrs 27.6 jackhammers 27.9 art for the hall 27.10 sR 27.11 toral

my queue is set for the last 3 picks. use it whenever my pick comes up.
Also remember I have an extra pitcher farmer by mistake in Bowden - so if you don't like your options, let me know and we can get him to you. And we could even find a way to get Cueto in your farmer carry over spot for cheap.

I have to leave, and my pick is next. Unless airallnite picks one of my players in que, I'm done.
pick #25 - regular pick in que
pick #26 - farmer hitter in que
pick #27 - keeper A Rowand in que
pick #28 - farmer pitcher Beavan not in que, not in system
Two missed picks in round #25, a couple in #24.
You'd think everyone would understand the que system by now.

Had to run back home for a minute, so I made my picks.
Viciedo is my farmer hitter.

PV...I deleted the Scherzer pick as he is a retained farmer...I remade the Viciedo pick (I had to us the 25.13 pick as the site would only let me use that pick). You need to make a new pick at 26.1.

Please no one make a queue pick for PV...that is his keeper...he needs to make one more regular pick to replace Scherzer.

No...you can continue if you want. I would.
At this point we are so late in the draft it really does not matter if someone gets skipped over a few picks...and it is in the rules that in cases like this the draft does continue.

woohoo! draft complete...
Jackhammers still has his last 3 picks to make. He has until the end of the day today to make those picks or he will just start with 3 empty roster spots he can fill with free agents. I will stop the draft at 5pm this evening. I think this is fair as it would be an advantage to be able to watch the news wire and cherry pick players for the next week before I start the season in Yahoo.

Important notes:
I will enter the players into Yahoo by the end of this weekend.
I will start the season Mar 30th in Yahoo...this gives us a week before the season starts.
All free agents will be on waivers to start the season including teams farmers. Do not pick up your farmers until they come off of waivers.
Teams will have until April 13th to roster your farmers (1 week from MLB season start) or they will become free agents open to the league. I will post a reminder on the Yahoo message board for players available in the Yahoo DB.
It would be helpful if everyone would post their new farmers on the Yahoo board.
Thanks...good luck this season!

Sorry, thought we were done. I'll just pick up free agents.
Max Ramirez (Tx) qualifies as the farmer correct?

JH...Ramirez does not qualify as a farmer as he played 17 games in the majors last season.
If you still need both farmers...you can simply name them here for two of the picks you missed or post them on the Yahoo board.

info to save for next season: Great One Keeper: Joey Votto Farmer Pitcher: Johnny Cueto Farmer Hitter: Yonder Alonso
Do I have to pick up David Price once hes off waivers?
Or do I wait until he gets called back up again?

Think you need to get him after waivers (which is why we have all the extra bench spots).

Do we want to bump the trade deadline back to August 30th like most other leagues? Apparently Yahoo picked a default of 8/16 when you carry over settings. But you can go a full 2 weeks later and we've adjusted in Dirty Dozen, and its that way in G20, RIBC etc. I can't imagine a trade deadline nearly two months before the season ends (Oct. 4th).

As I mentioned in my victory celebration speech - I don't expect to return this season. This league really frustrated me - mainly a few of the managers who didn't check in for half the season made things difficult. If we got some new blood I'd consider it but I think I'd rather try doing an RIBC league at this point.
Thanks to TRS for all the work and concepts, it was a fun league.

Yes, I tried retiring last season but was talked into coming back. But alas, for some of the same reasons GO mentioned, I am going to step down as well.

Considering calling it the end of the league...unless I get encouragement otherwise.
7 years is a pretty good run and was always an interesting league.
I am so busy with goalline blitz lately that I am sure I would have slacked in fantasy. May just join one of the RIBC leagues.
What says you?

I would like to keep it going. 7 years is a very good run for a league, we have had plenty of good owners, so I say lets keep it going.

I'd love to keep it going, but since I am one of the newbies, I'll leave it up the people who have been in this league for a while.

Unfortunately I think Lucky 13 is done. I want to thank everyone for 7 fun seasons. Some good competition...some not so good...but overall a very fun league...I thought some good unique rules.

I too will miss this league and all its intricacies, hopefully I'll see some of you over in the RIBC AA leagues.
I would consider carrying on the league if there's some interest. I would need everyone's keepers and farmers. I think it's impressive we got the league to last for a long time. If not, its a shame I won't be able to field Tommy Hanson next year! Good luck to everyone this year.

If you keep the league going I am sure I have the draft results archived somewhere and they are probably still on kafenatid. I generally use the draft results and the rosters on Yahoo are also probably still available.

If I count right, I think we have 11 of us that still want to play. Maybe we could just change the league name.
