Franchise GM / Remembering a Friend
« on: December 27, 2022, 09:07:11 PM »
Life is complicated and there are times when reality confronts us in a most disturbing way.  Sometimes things happen suddenly and we are left with a void in our lives.  Although I am no longer an active member of the ProFSL community, I felt compelled to offer my condolences. 

I didn?t really know Papps personally, but I got to interact with him throughout my years as a member of the ProFSL community.

Like many of us involved in fantasy sports, there are times when we have a meeting of the minds, engage in healthy competition, and try our best to finish ahead of our competitors.  Papps was a master of negotiation.  He always presented his options in the best possible light, but was always fair.  Papps was never afraid to take a chance and always had a competitive team. That said, he never missed an opportunity to to voice his opposition to something that was detrimental to his team or the league.  By the same token, he provided a lot of insights to make ProFSL, and FGM, a better place for all.

On a personal note, Papps provided me with a lot of support.  When I was ill, he offered his best wishes for a speedy recovery.  When I popped off and sent a poison PM or acted up, he offered me an avenue to redeem myself, a way back.  When I decided to leave ProFSL, he thanked me for my work and wished me future success.  He was always a class act and he affected me in a very positive way.

So, although I didn?t know him personally, I was saddened to hear of his passing. He was truly a unique individual and was a well respected member of the ProFSL community.  My condolences to his family and to those who knew him here on ProFSL.  He will truly be missed. 

With this, I would be remiss if I did not offer my condolences to the family of jojowalkwalk.  It is always sad to lose a family member and I wish his family the best.  I lost my parents many years ago and they are always in my heart.  For Daddy, and the rest of his family, keep yourselves  afloat by relying on the good times you shared. 

May these two loving people Rest In Peace.

Franchise GM: GM & Team News / Giants are Available
« on: February 05, 2022, 10:56:55 AM »
After 12 years, the :SF: are in need of a replacement GM.  The team roster is well balanced with multiple productive players at eac position.  It has about $20.0m in cap for free agent acquisitions during free agency and the season.  The team is coming off a championship run in 2021 and has some good prospects on the MiLB roster.  You can access the roster by clicking on the team icon at the top of the page.

Interested parties should leave their contact information in the Official Waiting List thread or reply to this post.

GMs,

I thought this subject might come up again when I saw the hullabaloo about Seiya Suzuki.  We had a ruling on International Players in 2016 in regards to Kevin Maitan.  In our Rules it states:

Item AX F-2.0
International player are not eligible to be signed until they have a page on BB Reference along with another source confirming their signing. Fantrax will not add the player unless their BB Reference page is submitted.

But in 2016, we clarified it further in saying an international player must have an MLB contract before he can be signed as an FGM free agent.  We do sign MLB players who are not currently under contract, but the distinguishing factor is that they have had an MiLB or MLB contract during their careers?an international player like Seiya Suzuki does not.  So international player seeking to join MLB, must be under contract to a given MLB team or he cannot be signed as an FGM player.

Here is a link to that 2016 ruling:

http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=259787.0

Since we have followed it since 2016, it cannot be changed unless it goes through the referendum process and would undoubtedly be something that went into effect in 2023.

FGM Members,

I am letting all of you know that some things have changed for me in my personal life and I will be exiting ProFSL on February 10th.  I thought I was going to be able to complete the 2022 season, but that is no longer possible.  For the record, it is not a health issue, it?s more of a need to move on from the world of fantasy play and a need to leave for my own personal peace.  I have already informed Colby and he will have to make some decisions as to how to proceed.

I will input a 162 game schedule into Fantrax, but Colby will have to authorize other Fantrax moderators because he is the Primary Commissioner of FGM.  I will also forward Colby the FGM and WCB2 excel spreadsheets and he can forward them to whomever wants to takeover those duties.  I will update the 2022 FYPD order and it will be in the Draft Room.  Your ProFSL rosters are currently up-to-date and should be synced to your Fantrax rosters.  I paid the fees for the 2022 season, but someone else will have to do so in the future.  All Help Tickets will have to be taken care of by Anthony.

I hope all of you have enjoyed being a part of Franchise GM.  I came onboard in 2010 and it?s been a lot of fun.  My evolution during that time, from a na?ve newbie to league moderator, was certainly a worthwhile endeavor for me.  I have tried to make it seamless for all of you and enjoyed my time as a ProFSL Staff Member and FGM moderator.  Dealing with the variables needed to enhance your fantasy experience has been fulfilling.  Even with the antics of some knuckleheads, my experience as a member of the ProFSL community has been worth my time and effort. 

I want to thank Colby for the trust he placed in me, BHows for his time and support as my FGM moderator partner, and all the GMs in FGM for the time we?ve spent together.

Franchise GM: Invalid Transactions / News Flash: OF Free Agency
« on: February 02, 2022, 12:11:25 PM »
2/04/22- FA opens up for OF @ 12:01 am ET

Braves trade:
SP Leake, Mike, $5m (2022)
X-Leake, Mike, Cash Exchange, $2.0m in 2022
C Bailey, Patrick, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Giants trade:
MI Potts, Hudson, $0.5m (P-n/a)

While I am in my final season, the Braves are rebuilding their roster, so the Giants negotiated this trade to get C Patrick Bailey back for the future Giants GM and give the Braves some cap relief to continue rebuilding their team.  The Braves are getting rid of a SP who has not pitched since 2019, and with it, clear a roster space and get $3.0m in cap relief.  CI Hudson Potts was at AA in 2021 and now that he is healthy, should continue to progress to the MLB.

Braves to confirm.

  • indiansnation: Giants To Sign Blake Snell March 18th, 2024 at 8:45pm CST • By Anthony Franco 8:45pm: Snell receives a $15MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $17MM signing bonus that will not be paid until 2026, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (on X). That indicates he’ll be deciding on whether to opt out of a $30MM salary next winter, although the delayed date on the payment of the bonus reduces the team’s short-term commitment.  8:23pm: Blake Snell is in agreement with the Giants on a two-year, $62MM contract that allows him to opt out after the upcoming season, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (X link). San Francisco adds the defending NL Cy Young winner to the top of a staff that also includes last year’s runner-up, Logan Webb.  ADVERTISEMENT
