Poppins jonthefon LSU Ranger Panorama vfn Rules: basically, 24 hour time limit otherwise you get skipped (though free to make any missed picks later on).

Should probably note, seriously, that PhilClark has 24 hours as-of 12:48AM CST.

Should probably also spam the shit out of the OT threads to get that dude’s attention…and maybe send him an email.

Officially
Determining rookie status:
A player shall be considered a rookie unless, during a previous season or seasons, he has (a) exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues; or (b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the period of 25-player limit (excluding time in the military service and time on the disabled list).

Well, part of me feels bad because of short notice

but then again, we’ve known the order for a few days and he should be well-planned for it.

Give it to rentz

I’d love the shot if it worked out to add both rentz and myself, but I also understand it’s more fun for everyone when you are playing with folks you know where you have some history. At the very least, the trash talking is more fun.

With that in mind, I’m officially bowing out. Rentz, my spot is all yours if groundingout is AWOL.

Man, there is no greater advantage than picking early in the minor league draft

The difference b/w having Matt Moore or Yu Darvish year after year and taking a flyer on the 12th ranked guy is huge

Easiest way to do it though.

You could do an auction but it would be so unwieldy from the get-go.

but I think there will still be decent value, even if it’s a few years out at this point.

Yeah

In retrospect, I think it would have been better to have one draft, and let people load their teams with prospects if they really wanted. It will work out, though. One player doesn’t make that much of a difference in a fantasy baseball league.

by Jobu. on Jan 12, 2012 3:19 PM CST up reply actions  

Well, the snaking helps

12 and 13 probably won’t be as valuable, but if I draft smart it might be in the long run.

U mad?
Nolan Arenado had one of the best 0-for-4s I’ve seen in a showcase event. On top of demonstrating that he has made big strides on defense at third, he made some loud contact and showed an exceptional approach at the plate. Arenado has an uncanny knack for getting his hands through the ball. I see some Pujols in him. I really do. If Arenado doesn’t wind up being a well-above-average MLB hitter, I’ll be surprised. Throw in potential average or better defense at third base and you have one of the top prospects in baseball. It wouldn’t shock me if he ends up having a better career than Harper, not in the slightest.

If this pick gets skipped, it's to your benefit if you pick ASAP after the 24hrs have elapsed.

Think of it like the NFL draft, where when a team passes, about 5 other teams rush to the podium to get their picks in.

From the rules on the groups site...

Minor league systems:

* The way the minor league system works, for those who haven’t played in a league with one before, is that each team has a separate roster of ‘minor leaguers’, who they hold exclusive rights (i.e. other players cannot add them to their actual fantasy team off the waiver wire) as long as the minor leaguers are on their minor league rosters and fulfil the eligibility criteria, which goes as either:

1. <300 ABs
2. <50 innings pitched

I'm not even in the league.

Everything I say is suspect.

But someone quoted ML rules above saying 130. I would trust the league rules more.

Of course if 300 is the line there’s a guy that is a steal.

Sorry

maybe I didn’t make it clear, but that’s the eligibility required for players to remain on the minor league roster during the season.

For this draft only, only players underneath the rookie rules are eligible.

Yes.

The question remains whether we want to use the draft software for the major league draft or have an offline draft.

Draft software.

If you can’t show up to the first year ML draft of a dynasty league, then you get can fucked. Just make sure people agree to a date/time.

The problem is

if anyone doesn’t pick in time, or someone does not show…. they will get Yu, Matt Moore, Trout, etc.

by Jobu. on Jan 16, 2012 12:26 AM CST up reply actions  

I think that if there's an offline draft

I’d probably set a 12 hour rule in place as opposed to 24 hours.

Can't deny that things would go more smoothly with match at the helm

Perhaps on a ML level.

On a MiL level, if you rely on quantifiable measures, you’ll get your ass handed to you.

by LiamP on Jan 16, 2012 2:19 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah, but lets be real

ML level is what’s really going to matter for at least the next couple years.

The guys we’re picking right now will mostly be busts. Very few will make our major league squads for long.

Absolutely.

Goyo was trying to convince me that Mitch Moreland can hit LHP in the majors because he did in the minors.

What you see in the minors means nothing. Any results are relatively meaningless because of the variance of competition.

You gotta get the scouting reports and lean on folks you trust for MiL.

Erlin has value in a K:BB league.

I would’ve taken him if only because the numbers he’ll continue to put up will make him an attractive trade piece down the line.

When are we planning to start the major league draft?

anyone think we’re capable of having a separate fanshot and run them simultaneously? At this point, your MiL draft picks shouldn’t affect the major league ones…. or are we planning to wait until the free agents fall where they may?

This was after the 2009 season (and draft)

So Chapman had just been signed, Trout was unknown and all, Montgomery had been decent but nothing amazing, and Teheran was only starting to receive hype.

I also drafted Chris Withrow but of course he became useless in 2011. I ended up flipping him and David Aardsma midway through 2010 for Nolan Reimold and Fernando Martinez in what must be the most ineffectual trade ever.
