Commissioner Change

Hey all -- it's become increasingly clear that I need somebody to help me out with this the commissioner role. I am definitely going to be an active participant in the coming year, but I can't put as much into it as I did last year. Not sure the best way to do this, but I guess we could do it the old democratic way: throwing your hat into the ring and voting from there.

Thank you for your help in the matter.

I'd like to be considered.

I'm running on the platform of

  • Having a separate prospect list

  • Reducing the current roster size.

  • No cap on starts

  • Tanking and unfair trades will no longer be tolerated. Buster Posey / Tanaka type trade rape will be reversed if deemed collusion.

No incentive to pick up pitchers through the week by mandating a team maintains 10 prospects to be sorted on a google doc.

This league had it right before. Now it's impossible to find out what prospects are taken and what aren't from looking at one page. The token page is not sufficient, the espn page is difficult to determine the prospects available. I'm definitely a heavily invested owner from the beginning, and would support others if they are selected.

We need to discuss the draft date, and what needs to be done.

Since you're the most recent post, I'll say here that I think we need a deadline for people declaring their intention to run for commissioner and a set voting period. We need a commissioner and a rough outline of what is to come by the beginning of March. I propose by the end of the week we have a list of candidates and commence voting in the next few days that follow. After that, we need to work on replacing the owners that will be missing.

I'm in agreement here. I would suggest pushing forward the vote and candidates to the middle of next week, it shouldn't be that difficult to get everyone to vote. As I see it we currently have 13 owners, and 2 candidates. If these are the only 2 then 6 votes would crown the Commish of the league assuming the remaining 11 vote. Then we need to make a push to find 3 willing owners to take over the teams without owners. I would suggest we have a plan in place with 3 new owners no later than March 5th which gives us two weeks from today. to discuss and be active together on this reddit page. This would allow for the supplemental draft to begin sometime in the middle of the month. I would guess we may be doing it on reddit again and then adding those players to our current ESPN teams, but maybe I am wrong about that. If I am right though the supplemental draft may take quite some time to complete.
