Fantasy Baseball 2015

[Locke Lamora]

Yeah, that really shouldn't be possible. We definitely have it set to not include the players until they're called up because I remember the likes of Correa not being available when the announcement was made.

[Bert]

So that's why Correa and Buxton weren't available initially!

No idea how Matz was there in Main. I think all the prospects are supposed to be there in the Auction Keeper, but not sure. I'm not in any other redrafts and dunno who is available in other Yahoo leagues with "don't include until they're called up" settings (My two other leagues are taking over terrible abandoned dynasty teams where most minor league players expected to be on the MLB radar are available - save for Hector Olivera)

Last year in the Main, I do recall stashing Polanco last year and not stashing Springer in time so Yahoo has a glitch apparently.

But yeah Correa wasnt added in Main until after call up, but he was there in Keeper the whole time (stashed him a month before call up)

[Locke Lamora]

Yeah, in Auction it's just whenever they're added so that would happen. I've done some Googling and as far as I can gather, the setting means that they are put in the game if Yahoo is notified the player is on the active roster. This can mean that players are, for whatever reason, listed on the active roster before the season starts and then sent down, so they are never on the MLB team during the season but they still count. I think - and I could be wrong because I haven't gone through everyone, obviously - that there are players who somehow make their way onto the active roster during spring training in a purely procedural sense and then have to be optioned to the minors during the spring to make room for whoever's going to be on the Opening Day squad. Jorge Alfaro, who got optioned the day after Matz is also in the game, for example. Yahoo must just get these active roster lists and add the players that early regardless of whether they're actually going to be on the team on Opening Day.

[Zachrulez]

5 players on the DL in the main league now. This is starting to get just a little bit ridiculous.

[AniX]

Only 5? Look at this guy with his relatively healthy team.

[Axxle]

I stopped keeping track after I decided to dump most of them.

[D3f3nd3r]

So in the last two days, between both leagues, I have an ERA of 7.50 over 36 innings and a WHIP of 1.50. Expecting clunkers out of Greinke, Arrieta, Felix, and Bumgarner tomorrow

wtf how did LL leapfrog everyone into first in the auction league so quickly??

[Locke Lamora]

That's tied for first to you!

Typical Locke voodoo bullsh- ALL HAIL LOCKE LAMORA.

[Axxle]

This week seems like such a crapshoot with the 30 innings pitched requirement :/

[Locke Lamora]

This week lasts until the end of next week. They never do a short week after the All-Star break as far as I can remember, it always extends to 10 days.

[Axxle]

Ah, that's smart.

[D3f3nd3r]

Two of my three middle infielders are probably hitting the DL in keeper within a few days. What are the chances?

[D3f3nd3r]

My schedule is horribly back-loaded. I'm finishing my season with the current third place, then the current fourth, then the current first, then Lamora. Gonna be tough...

[Locke Lamora]

Yeah, the schedules can be a little unbalanced. It's hard with the length of the baseball season and this number of teams.

Nero, I have to ask - why do you always bench everyone who has a day off? Your lineups look so weird with all these empty slots.

[AGar]

While playoffs are out of the question, it's time to ruin people's hopes and dreams for the rest of the season.

[Axxle]

I'm still not sure which team belongs to which user

Good trade proposal in the keeper league Bert. I kept going back and forth because I like Pollock and especially his keeper value for next year, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to improve my pitching and DeGrom also has decent keeper value as well.
