Any new joiners for 2012?

[Saxmania]

At the moment we have 7 confirmed returning owners out of 10, with one owner (Romanian Yankees) feeling he doesn't really have the time to commit to this, so willing to bow out if anyone else wants a team.

If you'd like to join the GDR league for 2012, or you know someone who would, could you post in this thread? You do get the option to dump the roster you inherit, I believe ('firesale'), so you won't necessarily get stuck with a Houston Astros, but every team has some upside as far as I can see.

NYYFans.com forumers are probably preferred, but I don't see any reason why friends and colleagues can't join either. There's no guarantees that any teams become free, but, if you'd like to join, I think it'll probably be first come, first served. So get your name down!

Be seeing you,

Note that dgreco already expressed interest in joining in the '2012' thread, so that's one possible new joiner already.

Is "joiners" even a word?

[SatchelPaigeYankee]

who's currently an owner?

[Costanza]

I have a non-forum member from one of my other league's that will take a team. He is a Pirates fan, so the toughest part will be getting him to register here. Give me the go-ahead and I will talk to him.

Quick answer - have a look at the '2012' thread on this forum; there's a list there.

A perfectly cromulent one.

Yes, but a recondite one.

"Cabrera" will take a team, he said.

[Saxmania]

Okay, so we have dgreco, Costanza's friend, and "Cabrera". That means we should be sorted for all 10 teams - excellent. Now we just need to run a lottery to see who gets which abandoned team. Is "Cabrera" on NYYfans.com?

Cabrera is on here, but "Cabrera" is who I was referring to in an earlier post as my "friend."

[Costanza]

Cabrera!

[JDPNYY]

Ben (Sax) sent me a PM asking if I was interested (I wrote back, but his PM Inbox is full).

Thanks for the offer, I have interest but not the time. Maybe next year. Good luck to all this season.

I'm interested!

[Saxmania]

Excellent - that brings us back up to 10! I'll try and alert everyone as soon as GameDayRitual re-launches for 2012 - they usually leave it quite late, as in end-February, so please check back here regularly.

What we can do is hold the lottery for new joiners as to which team they're going to get - I'll start that thread now.

Cabrera! tells me that after he registered for the NYYfans.com site, he checked back the next day and his account is blocked? I'm not sure what to tell him.

[Saxmania]

'Contact Us' at the bottom of this page is probably his or your best bet.

Hey, he's not me, so I'm not contacting anyone. I guess we have one more owner to find, unless you don't mind if he's not registered here.

[wang+cano=future]

Hey I'll join if there is still a spot available.

[Costanza]

Cabrera! said he's in even if he's not registered here.
