he gets Pujols![]()
Guys, don't forget to be at the draft. We've already had a few owners let me know they can't be there. I hate people that have lives. So, it'll probably go pretty quick.
Brownie ain't doing a damned thing. He's lying.
As punishment, you should have him draft Shawn Chacon in the first round.
If I weren't gonna draft Shawn Chacon, I'd do that to him. I think Chacon is gonna go back to the bullpen and dominate later in the season.
You could probably get him to trade his first-round pick for Chacon.
Pretty good draft.
I like my team, pretty young and solid.
I made sure and draft for the next 2-3 yrs vs this yr.
As with my Dynasty Football team, yr will be bad to avg but yrs 2-3 will be pretty good to great. Put that in ink.
I'd never been in a Dynasty/Keeper league so I made the mistake in my Dynasty Basketball league of trying to draft mainly from yr 1 on and it didn't help that I snuck into the later rounds of the playoffs and then into the championship.
My team is young and can contend. It just depends on the young players you draft. Also, living up to their potential and not getting injuries.

I was bored, so I figured out the age of your players and your players are actually a lot older than mine. If you count out the minors (which I will have to draft 4 more). You still have to retool your roster because you have 1 more minor leaguer than you are allowed and you only have 2 RP when you have to have at least 3 RP starting.
Average Batters age of your players (without minors) = 29.4
Average Batters age of your players (with minors) = 26.3
Average Pitchers age of your players = 27.8
Average Batters age of my players = 25.2
Average Pitchers age of my players (without minor) = 24.6
Average Pitchers age of my players (with minor) = 24.2
I am doing all the average ages of the teams batter-pitchers that were at the draft, just because and I am bored before I go to bed.

Looks like you'd have a bad ass team if age and not game statswas the thing that decided games. Besides, I'm pretty sure next yr I'll have 2-4 minor leaguers go to my reg roster and my avg age will drop.
I rechecked the stats and I didn't see age as a category we could acquire points in. Hmmmm....![]()
I hope you bought insurance, with players like Prior and Liriano there are no guarantees.
That was a cool breakdown though.

I like my team and they will produce. Liriano will be back next year, don't worry about that. Prior, I decided to take a chance. I have Homer Bailey anyways, I can put him in his spot easily.

I feel sorry for the 5 teams that didn't show up to the draft and adjust their player rankings. They have some work to do to overhaul their pitching staffs.
I like my mix of youth and talent. Should be a fun year.
Matt, how do we deal with RP elible P's that actually start games either at or right after the start of the season? Wouldn't they then be SP's?
I'm not talking about a team that that in mid or late season has injs and calls up a bad ass RP to star a game or 3.
You benefit.
If they're eligible, they're eligible.
then you have the ability to start 1 more SP than any other team in the league.
We are going to do the Minor League draft through email or this thread. The first pick will be Maroon Out since he had the last pick in the major league draft. I will try to get a hold of him in the next hour or so to get the pick. This is the best way that I know to make sure that everyone has input on who it is that they are going to draft. It's too hard to get everyone together on the weekend. I know that Growth Hormones has asked me to use the rotoworld draft list, since he isn't that familiar with minor league players.
Dio, you are out of minor league options. You need to get your major league roster legal before this weekend.
You CAN have more than 5 minor league players if you aquire them through trades. I'll work on getting a pick from Maroon Out before the night is over.
This is the draft order.
Maroon Out, Truth, David Robinson is God, District Dirt Dogs, Katy, Growth Hormones, Horry for three, Erik, Texas Venom, Mile High Crushers, Dio. It'll snake after each round.
Joe, can you try to get a hold of Adam to get his picks when he is up. There are no time limits. Lets just try to get it done by the time our season starts Next Monday.
Oh, and you can't pick up a free agent player if they are in the Minor Leagues. Only players on major league rosters WHEN you pick them up are eligible. So, if there is a stud minor leaguer that isn't on someones minor league roster that gets called up, you CAN pick him up.
So, let me make sure I have this right.
Any loopholes we find CANNOT be altered? If that is the case I'm all for it just as long as NO EXCEPTIONS are made later on.
If you don't have 5 minor leaguers by the time your pick comes around, you can make that pick. I don't see why you would want to drop any of those minor leaguers. Each one is a stud.
