Fantasy Baseball 2016

[zoraster]

one last bump before I start to post details for this year. If you want to sign up for fantasy baseball, make sure to do so today!

[zoraster]

also, if any of you are around in an hour and a half (2:30 EST), I'm doing a stupid draft. It's a set and forget league: no transactions, no bench, points league with 1 point for each total base, 1 point for a walk, 1 point for a stolen base. So there's no reason not to play everyone. Batters Only.

So the idea is that you have a fun draft and then never think about it until the end of the season. The rosters are huge, though.

A couple of keeper questions:
-How many do we keep?
-Do we submit choices on the actual league or PM you, zoraster?

[zoraster]

6 players. let me explore what i can and can't do with the keeper system on yahoo, but my guess is it's probably easier for me to manually do it.

[zoraster]

Keeper Costs

Please refer to this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing The value to the very right is the price you'll need to pay this year to keep a player. Keep in mind that the teams shown are the teams who INITIALLY drafted the player, and you can only keep a player if they were on your final roster.

If you want to keep a player you picked up as a free agent who was NOT drafted via the auction, the price is $5.

Deadline Date

will be 7 days before the keeper auction. I'm going to submit a form for you guys to use to indicate draft and auction availability.

[zoraster]

Fill out your draft availability here: http://whenisgood.net/nmkf7ps (you'll also get an email with this information).

[Rhinox]

Are we sending our keepers to you zor?

[zoraster]

sure, whenever you're ready. I'll announce the deadline when I announce the draft time. Waiting on a couple more surveys.... people, if you haven't sent it in, please do so! That means you, LL.

[zoraster]

Tentative Draft Times are set as follows:

Main League (Head to Head): March 12th at 3:30pm EST

Keeper League: March 19th at 3:30pm EST (Keeper Deadline is March 13th).

Once this is official, I'll send out a PM blast about it.

Also, we need one more head to head team so that we have an even number!

[zoraster]

bump! we need one more team for our 14-team league or I'll have to boot someone.

[Kmd4390]

If needed, I can /out. I'm working during those draft times anyway.

[zoraster]

Draft Times

Head-to-Head League Draft:

Saturday, March 12th at 4:15pm EST

Auction Keeper League:

Sunday, March 20th at 3:15pm EST

Auction Keeper Deadline:

Sunday, March 13th at 3pm EST

Please note time shift edit of 15 minutes

If you are playing in the Auction keeper, please PM Zoraster your choices (up to 6) including the price at which you are keeping them. You can find the price of each player here. You may only keep players on your final roster. Any player that was not drafted may be kept for $5.

Apologies to D3f3nd3r and kmd who miss both drafts. Anix misses the Auction draft. I tried hard to get D3f3nder (our second place finisher in the auction league) to the auction draft, but it's hilarious how his and LL's draft availability doesn't overlap.

[Kmd4390]

/out h2h

Maybe I can use a sick day for auction...

[D3f3nd3r]

Any chance of moving both back 15 minutes? They're both at "it'd be a push" times for me but delayed 15 minutes I think I could be at both. I was trying to be especially cautious with my time selections.

[zoraster]

to 3:45 and 2:45?

[D3f3nd3r]

The opposite direction.

[Kmd4390]

/out h2h

Maybe I can use a sick day for auction...

^yeah that's not gonna be possible. looks like I'm missing it. sorry.

[zoraster]

Okay, the Main league draft time is now 4:15pm on Saturday, March 12th. I'll send out a reminder of this when we get a bit closer.

Teams are now finalized for the Main Head to Head league. I'll do the draft order shortly.

[zoraster]

So I'm going to try a new style of draft order picking. Everyone will pick which spot they want to draft from 1-12. Then I'll randomly generate a choice order. The first person will get his or her choice of draft position. The second person will get his or her draft choice unless the first person picked it, in which case that person will get his or her second choice pick and so on. If a team doesn't submit their choice via the form, it'll be assumed he wants 1st pick as 1st choice, 2nd pick as 2nd choice, etc.

Submit Your Preferences

[Zachrulez]

Is it snake style draft?

[zoraster]

yup!

[zoraster]

Don't forget to submit your draft order preferences if you have not done so yet. I'll generate the order tomorrow, and if you haven't submitted, your preferences will simply go in order.

[zoraster]

LL, we have the exact same draft order preferences except we swapped two draft spots, the 4th and 6th. It's kind of impressive, really, given that our order isn't something totally simple.

[zoraster]

Okay, draft preference order is now set. About half the league submitted. The others just have their 1st choice as 1st pick and so on.

The first dice number, the highest number gets first choice. The second highest, second choice, etc. The second number is to break any ties.
