QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 7, 2016 -> 12:29 AM) I just created an account. Condor, if you had to guess, when you do you think the draft will start? Not sure. I would really hope in the next 2 weeks if everyone joins the forum. I'll probably send an email out tomorrow to everyone bc a lot have not been on here for a few days. I would still like 3 or more people to join so we could have 12+ in the league. Again the link to the forum is http://soxfantasybaseball.proboards.com/

I think we are going to try the "offline" draft and do it on the forum I just set up. The link to the forum is http://soxfantasybaseball.proboards.com/ Go ahead and join that forum and post if you'd like. ESPN is still under maintenance but hopefully it will be back up and running soon. We still ideally would like 3-8 more people so if you know anyone that would like to join feel free to tell them about us.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) Why couldn't we do the draft in this thread? It seems easiest to do it that way. I also love the money idea. Even if 12 people throw in just $5 apiece, that's a decent chunk of change for the winner. We could also give a little to the person that finishes in 2nd as well. Maybe $40 for first place and $20 for second. We could. One of the pros for having our own board would be that we can make multiple threads that keep everything separate (like signups, league info, "the money pot", trades, MILB, recaps, etc). Mostly it would just keep things cleaner and more organized. I would prefer to have our own board (I really like this idea) but i am for either option.

I still need a playing card from ChrisLikesBaseball and Joshua Strong. How are everyone's feeling about the "offline draft"? If everyone will be pretty active and online fairly often I would love to do this idea. If everyone likes this idea I will set up a free forum where we can have the draft and discuss the league etc. On a side note, I think the idea of everyone putting $5 in a "pot" to send the winner is a great idea. I will not make it mandatory though. The league will remain free with a "pot" on the side. The "pot" will go to the person who finishes the highest out of those who put into the "pot". Ideally I'd like at least 3 more people (not counting BigHurt3515).

QUOTE (KG#1 @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) I also would enjoy better with more keepers (at least 10). I get the point of less keepers, but I build a solid team and can only keep a small portion, I don't know. I like being able to keep at least 10-15 guys. Again, just some discussion around the settings. I need email address from KG#1 and blackmooncreeping, just send me a PM. BigHurt3515........ I will put you down for now but won't include you until we get 11 or more people. You can wait to send me your email address until we have the amount of people you like or now.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) Will there be a site other then ESPN that we use for the draft, MILB rosters, trades in the off-season, FA signings, etc? Yeah probably this one (I also have a free forum that I created a while back that I'm not using that we could use), either in this thread or I can start another one. I'm still working out the little details (suggestions are welcomed). I can really get some things finalized like lineups, roster size, MILB roster etc when ESPN is done with their maintenance.

Let's get this league rolling, up to 5 members already.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 07:08 PM) Soxtalk Keeper #1 will need at least two owners. I have mentioned that to about 10 people but no dice. I'm gonna keep trying though

I thought I would post here We tried last year to get another Soxtalk Keeper league going but started to late. This year we are starting early and are looking for 8-14 people. The link to the thread about the league is below. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...p;#entry3299947

Signup Page 1. Condor 13 (King of Diamonds) 2. LetTheBallFly (Jack of Spades) 3. ChiSoxFanMike (Queen of Hearts) 4. mattconners () 5. ChrisLikesBaseball (2 of Hearts) 6. Joshua Strong () 7. KG#1 (6 of Clubs) 8. blackmooncreepinG (10 of diamonds) 9. BigHurt3515 ? For now

This year will hopefully be the inaugural season of the Soxtalk Legends Dynasty League. We tried last year but started way too late to get enough people to join. I have sent messages to those who were interested last year but even if they all join we still need a lot more people. We are looking for between 8 and 14 members who are in the league for the long haul. This will be an entirely free league run through ESPN in conjuction with this thread. If you have any family members or friends that would like to join that is great. To join please post a message in this thread and include a playing card (to determine the draft order) as well as send me a PM with your email address. Information about the league Site: ESPN Type: Keeper League Keepers: TBD (I am thinking 5 some have suggested 10 or 15 ) Draft Style: Live Snake Draft or an OFFLINE DRAFT done in this thread or another (gotta get enough people to join and quick to do this option) Draft Date: TBD Draft Order: Everyone will pick a playing card. I will then draw through the deck until everyone's card has been picked and record the order that they were drawn. I will repeat this 5 times and then average everyone's draft positions. The lowest average will have the number 1 pick then the next lowest will have the number 2 pick and so forth. Roster: TBD Milb Roster TBD Trading Picks: Allowed Scoring: Head to Head (undertermined, probably category) Playoffs: Half of the league will make the playoffs Winner: possibly a very small cash prize of $5- $10 and they will receive bragging rights until the next season and a little banner image to display on their signature League Updates: I am planning on putting together a Draft Recap, Preseason Power Rankings, weekly Power Rankings, and weekly recaps Again to join post in this thread and include a playing card. Also send me a PM with your email address so when I create the league I can send you the invite. Also, any and all suggestions on the league setup and league rules, etc are welcomed.

QUOTE (Special K @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 07:15 PM) Dick is a staunch defender of sox brass. Any criticisms you have about the organization? They haven't made the playoffs in almost a decade. Somewhere in that organization something is going wrong, whether it be manager, front office or players. But even if you lay all blame on players, that's still a reflection on how selected them. What is going wrong is that Kenny Williams is still there and has wayyyyy too much say. The Cespedes saga should end shortly (24-48 hours) when according to multiple reports he will make his decison. At that point we all already know the sox dropped the ball yet again. The Sox better be trying to aquire CarGo (either one) or somebody with an impact bat very soon after Cespedes makes his decision.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 08:36 PM) I haven't had a chance to post all day, but if we can't go 5/$110M for Cespedes, then our ownership group and/or front office should be completely embarrassed. That's a very fair deal for a player of his talent in today's free agent environment. My feeling is that if they don't pony up the money for Cespedes then they better have a big trade in the works. Otherwise, they are throwing their 2 year window out the window.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 16, 2016 -> 06:48 PM) We don't even usually get to enjoy the first month recently...just opening day. Very true

Just read on rotoworld that Baltimore is still in on Cespedes if he will sign a short term deal. Just grow a pair and give him a 4 yr contract so the fans will finally enjoy a full season of baseball, not just the first month.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) This team is a freaking joke. None of these coaches should be back next year. If your front office makes the decision to go for it at the deadline and not be sellers, coming out as flat as they have since the deadline is unacceptable. Most of these players shouldn't be back either
