I don't think it's actually a bad pick

I just felt obliged to mock whomever you selected

Y'all suck.

Kemp’s a perfectly fine pick here.

They have to drop the pick after the draft or get it removed by the LM

and so they get screwed by not being there or paying attention.

Someone inevitably complains that their internet went out

when really the clock ran out, etc. This shouldn’t be bad, we just have to be quick.

We can say if 2 minutes pass, your pick gets skipped and you can pick whenever you’re ready. Proof will be in the time stamps.

by Jobu. on Jan 30, 2012 8:39 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah I'd much prefer that

I stillcant find where you guys setup the roster rules, like do we use outfield positions? Cif, mif

Actually, since we're not doing the queue

I might draft like 7 1b’s without knowing. That could be a problem.

League Rules Question--I feel like I've asked this before, but I can't find it

During the course of the season, a minor leaguer can be ‘promoted’ (added off the waiver wire) to the big league team only by whoever owns their rights. Providing that they are not then taken off the minor league roster, they can later be ‘sent down’ (i.e. dropped to the waiver wire) without penalty or loss of exclusive rights, providing that they fulfill the above eligibility criteria [< 50 abs, <300IP ].

What does the bold portion mean?

by Jobu. on Jan 31, 2012 10:14 AM CST reply actions  

That should read "< 50 IP,

Also, why “abs” and not plate appearances?

Also, should we exempt September call-ups?

by Jobu. on Jan 31, 2012 10:17 AM CST up reply actions  

About the bold portion

basically, if you ‘drop’ a called-up (but still eligible) player from your minor league roster (i.e. create an open spot on the roster for a possible addition of another minor leaguer), you’ll have to re-add the said called-up player to your roster if you want to ‘send them back down’.

Unless circumstances change in a way that requires a rapid conclusion of the draft, I think things can stay the way they are and the draft could still end up concluding before pitchers and catchers report.

I’d rather have Hosmer than Prince in Comerica. He seriously could have a sub 30 HR season there with just a smidge of bad luck.

Is that crazy?

I don’t really have the nuances of fantasy baseball down. But I think Hosmer is going to be about as elite a hitter as they come.

And for Fielder… in ’08 and ’10 he had 34 and 32 HR. I could see those being 30 and 29 in Comerica.

by sprite on Jan 31, 2012 11:38 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't see how Castro is particularly risky.

He can hit .300 in his sleep and while he won’t get more steals than Andrus, he’ll hit for more power and put up a much more respectable OPS. Cabrera’s a legitimate alternative to Castro but Tyler’s obviously going to lean towards the side of youth.

by LiamP on Jan 31, 2012 11:42 PM CST up reply actions  

For me, it's more that

I’m not sure about his upside, even at 22, and whether that’s enough to make him a third-rounder.

I mean, he’ll probably end up a top three fantasy shortstop soon given how shallow the position is, but I don’t see enough outside of BA, a bit on steals and positional value for OPS.

i tell the truth; i lie a lot

by jonthefon on Jan 31, 2012 11:55 PM CST up reply actions  

I think his upside is tremendous.

He has the bat speed to hit 15-20 HRs (or more) with regularity. That, plus his steals and average, probably makes him the best T2 SS. The best T2 SS, given positional scarcity, is well worth an end of R3 pick.

No.

I’m only moving up three spots.

Then you're out

that’s the kind of package I’m looking for.

Fine.

You'd be moving up 9 spots.

You’d have two fourth round picks.

Nonsense.

A) matchaids is apparently fucking lethal. I think sprite somehow gave me spriteaids (protection only works 99% according to the box) and that’s morphed into a more virulent form.

B) I’ve never played fantasy baseball before. I’ve played a lot of fantasy hockey and football, but this is my first year of basketball and next year will be my first year of baseball in the pear league. While I’m good at data and understand some of the general concepts of fantasy sports… having zero experience in a rotisserie style league is not to be ignored. There’s no substitute for experience.

C) All that said… I would definitely be better than Ty.

4:9 - Madison Bumgarner

Still kinda enigmatic for me, but shit, a 2.67 FIP at 22 years old?

So I was curious how teams were looking and made a spreadsheet by owner instead of by round.

Included MiL selections.

If anyone uses Excel...

In case you don’t know Paste Special → Transpose is really awesome.

Much easier to get a feel now.

So, if you were stuck with any of these teams, which would most make you want to commit ritualistic seppuku?

by dolphinpuncher on Feb 1, 2012 6:37 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

I think they've all got some merit.

Some may be a bit more homer-tastic than others… but fortunately the Rangers have a lot of talented players in both the major and minor leagues.

But every team has some quality blue chippers.

NO SHIT EVERY TEAM HAS BLUE CHIPPERS

YOU’D HAVE TO BE STUPIDER THAN TY TO NOT HAVE BLUE CHIPPERS

Thanks again for taking the time to give the teams some shape

I’m glad you kept your effusive gushings about my team in check and instead opted to make the other kids feel good about their 1 or 2 solid picks that are flanked by a dozen surefire busts.

I was debating between him and Greinke

The other hitter in my DM to Sprite (who I expected to be on) hasn’t been taken yet. MAYBE HE’LL LAST TO NEXT ROUND (yeahright)

Driving home.

Fielding offers for this pick.

That's one of the guys I thinking.

But not the specific one. But I may have this guy a bit too high. We’ll see when he goes.

I'm willing to bet I know who it is.

There’s another guy who’s shittier defensively but has a similar offensive profile that I’ll grab a few rounds later.’

Was debating between him and Gordon the entire drive home.

I can't think of any hints that wouldn't either be really obvious or crazy obscure.

Here’s the crazy obscure hint… found with Nexu.
