Okay, Bean sent me a pdf of last year's RIBC roster, so I should have emails.
If anyone uses a different email for contact, let me know.

Thanks everyone for loading into the league. I know it's still February but the first game is March 20th in Korea and we are going to try to get to that date. That means I would like to start drafting by next Monday March 4th. That gives us 16 days to draft.
Next up, if someone could make us some random numbers, we can get the draft order selected.

Ohtani is one guy in this draft, a DH. I don't think we have to worry about the pitcher this year.

not sure where else to post this but I gotta vent to someone. the quality of writing and analysis by the guys who write fantasy player news has gotten soooo bad. A lot of it is utter garbage. I should start a blog that covers terrible fantasy player news posts, but I won't.
Just an example of a recent one:
"as indicated by his .315/.377/.453 slash line and .138 ISO. After the trade, his numbers dipped to .243/.317/.304, with a much lower ISO of .061. However, this decline can be largely attributed to a significant decrease in his BABIP, dropping from .381 to .288."
As if BABIP for a hitter is pure luck and has nothing to do with skill and performance. I see this one all the time along with all kinds of other weird assessments and factual errors. Maybe these are unpaid or extremely low pay positions.
I feel better now. Good luck to everyone this season, have fun.

In recent years, I believe we were only permitted to use our IL slot for players that we drafted (and who we've rostered for the entire season). Is that still the case?

The really frustrating thing for me is my offense is fantastic. 66.5 points on offense, and that's with losing my 3rd round pick and my worst player being my 2nd round pick.
But 5.5 points on pitching, all last place (one tie for last place). I've never seen anything like it.
I also have only 3 wins from my starters. On the bright side, I have reduced my ERA by half a run from last week, and my WHIP by .10... now at 6.1 and 1.5 respectively. LOL

Still picking up the pieces of the most horrid pitching start in my fantasy history. my ERA is down another run and WHIP down another tenth, and still in last place in both. This is all attributed to 4 draft picks; Brown, Smith, Maeda, and Canning, needless to say all long gone. Combined they produced:
77.2 IP, 1 W, 1 SV, 64 K, 74 ER, 143 BR, 8.57 ERA, 1.84 WHIP
Those innings account for a third of my total innings so far. The other 2/3rds sports 12 W, 4 SV, 154K, 3.43 ERA and 1.12 WHIP.

a quarter of the way through the season, just mulling over how bad mlb hitters have been, particularly mine. The ball seems pretty dead this season in general but dang. I'm down to only 8 of my drafted hitters left on my roster. God bless Duran and Cronenworth. Maybe the other guys will start hitting when summer comes along?
1. Matt Olson .313/352 that's gotta stop! 2. Josι Ramνrez .282/450
5. Jazz Chisholm .314/400
9. Jarren Duran .337/416
10. Zack Gelof .260/337 been on IL 3 wks
11. Trevor Story 1st week season ending injury
12. Masataka Yoshida right when he finally started to hit went down with serious thumb injury
13. Jarred Kelenic hit ok early on but gets benched several days in a row and platooned in middle of games even though he doesn't have bad splits historically, MLB managers quite often seem like dipshits to me, sure hit him 9th and give him zero AB vs. lefties all season, recipe for success
16. Bo Naylor dropped, may need to get a taste of AAA again
17. Davis Schneider .383/.475 had to force his way into the lineup
18. Jake Fraley .363/.389 started out well but gets benched for right handed hitters even though they can't hit lefties, had some illness for a week and been hitting like a little girl since then
19. Chris Taylor think he was like 1 for 45 at some point, can't blame it on a dead ball when you don't even hit the ball
21. Jake Cronenworth .358/500 amazing
24. LaMonte Wade disposable
25. Charlie Blackmon I think he may have been out of the league years ago if he played anywhere below a mile elevation
baseball gets a little weirder every year I have to say.

league slugging % 1876 to present
you can see the uptick around 1920 (Babe Ruth era begins), the lull during WWII, the raised pitching mound of '68, the steroid era, and so far this season the lowest league slug % since '92.

I'm pretty sure they have mucked with the baseball every year for the last 5 years, tuning it, overtuning it, undertuning it. That's why we are seeing numbers all over the place from year to year.
From a fantasy perspective it makes it near impossible to project players from year to year because you don't know what they are going to do with the ball.
