Draft Day and Divisions

WAKEFIELD, MA --

DRAFT DAY
We have officially selected Saturday, March 15 as Draft Day 2014.  Book your travel plans with confidence!  Let's plan on drafting at 3 pm, with the knowledge that we might have to adjust time slightly as the date approaches.  Charlie will be our gracious host.  Address details will follow in email form.

With a Sat 3/15 Draft Day, this means that the Keeper Deadline will be Saturday, March 8th at 11:59 PM.

DIVISION SELECTION
Our third annual Division Selection Draft was conducted online this morning.  Owners of last season's division winners selected their new divisions mates in school yard fashion until all of the teams were selected.  The top pick was Team Titus and the last man standing was Metalheads, a fate that team ownership is likely accustomed to at this point in his life.  Creative names will be forthcoming.  Divisions are as follows:

Tim Division

1. Team Titus

2. Multiple Scorgasms

3. Barnstormers

4. Team Rouse

5. SS Sluggers

John Division

1. Yellow Stars

2. DC Dynasty

3. Boston Pilgrims

4. Chin Music

5. Metalheads

 TRADES

Scorgasms receive:        IF Miguel Sano and SP Michael Wacha

SS Sluggers receive:      OF Dom Brown

Barnstormers receive:  3B Manny Machado

Scorgasms receive:        SS Jean Segura

 

Scorgasms and Barnstormers Deal

Barnstormers receive:   OF Will Myers
Scorgasms receive:       2B Jason Kipnis

Chin Music SWOON!

NORFOLK, MA -- Chin Music ownership is "flush" with anticipation over the return of Grady Sizemore (and to a lesser extent Will Titus) to the baseball world.  What stimulates Chin Music even more is that heart throb Grady will be playing for his beloved home town team.  Grant has his application for "Grady's Ladies" completed and has written a cover letter documenting his qualifications to be accepted as the first male member of the exclusive club.  With draft day rapidly approaching, the day may finally arrive when Grady will be a member of the Chin Music.  The only potential fly in the ointment is the potential that the Barnstormers might actually show up for the draft for the sole purpose of crushing Grant's hopes and dreams one more time.  This might be just the incentive that team owner Lewis was waiting for! 

Metalheads and Team Rouse Deal

If Punxsutawney Zack sees his shadow, there will be 6 more weeks until Spring Training

ALEXANDRA, VA -- The Metalheads and Team Rouse have reached a deal.  Metal sends Zack Greinke to Rouse for a collection of draft picks.  When asked for comment Greinke simplely stated, "being traded makes me nervous."

 METAL receives:    ROUSE#3, ROUSE #6
ROUSE receives:    SP Zack Greinke

Team Titus Splurges

Titus has returned!

NEW HAMPSHIRE -- The Commissioner's office was overwhelmed this week by a bevy of moves as Team Titus marked its return to the league in style.  Not to be outdone, Melrose Warriors ownership cut the umbilical cord and delivered a beautiful latino LF/CF unto the world, known as Chin Music.  The "Christ-child" has been named CarGo.

Winter Meetings

NEW HAMPSHIRE -- The 2013 winter meetings took place this Saturday at the new North East Headquarters of Scorgasm Industries.  In all five teams were in attendance including DC Dynasty ownership joining via Skype from his bathtub.  Thank you to Charlie for hosting.  The 8th annual draft lottery highlighted the festivities and the curse of the 12 seed continued.  This time someone other than the Yellow Stars got screwed.  

Also discussed were candidates for new ownership, a few minor rules tweaks, such as adding an N/A spot and removing the final week of the season so that the playoffs end prior to the final week of the MLB season.  There was some ground work laid for a trade or two, including plenty of keeper starting pitchers being made available by the Fenway Flats and the Metalheads.

The 2014 Draft Order is as follows:

1. team formerly known as Thunderlips
2. DC Dynasty
3. Yellow Stars
4. Multiple Scorgasms
5. Chin Music
6. Boston Pilgrims
7. team formerly known as Irish Labatt
8. Metalheads
9. SS Sluggers
10. Barnstormers
11. Melrose Warriors
12. Fenway Flats
