Fellow Managers,
I have the great privilege to welcome you all to Baldelli’s Modern Life XI — our 11th season in the “Modern” era.
While 2020 will never be forgotten, some good came out of it for the direction of this league. We learned that auction drafting is wicked fun and that roto is not our cup of tea. But 2021 promises to be the year we’ve all been waiting for.
General Information
- Division Picks: Suggested date of March 13th between Tokin’ Asian (1st pick) and It’s Milk Time (2nd pick). Tokin and Milk, please confirm for me if that date works for you.
- Keeper Deadline: March 10th.
- Auction Draft: Suggested date is Wednesday, March 24th. I will allow suggestions on date changes until March 1st. Then the date is locked in.
- Dues: $200. Once dues are paid, your team is unlocked.
Reminders
Rules: Managers are reminded that we will follow the new league rules, published on our website at the end of 2019. Last year is considered an exhibition season.
Keepers: Your 2021 keepers must have been on your 2019 team. However, you may change any players until the keeper deadline, and no keepers are required.
A full list of the keepable players and their values is listed here.
Draft: This is the only year that a manager can start a season with more or less draft dollars than another manager due to trades. Trades can no longer include draft picks or dollars. From now on, only keepers affect your starting draft cash.
Contact list: Please double-check that your info is up to date. I will send a refreshed copy once all managers have joined the league and updated their team name. All new co-managers that I don’t know about must be announced to me and the league ASAP.
Please note that we have three open slots for reserve managers. I would be grateful for any referrals. Keeping the league full of competitive managers is among my most important jobs as commissioner, but finding the right people is tough. Your help is appreciated.
Good luck and fair play,
Misha
Manager: CoMeesh
