The first sets of Pitchers and Catchers report in 5 weeks!! Fantasy football is over........the college Championship is tonight.......so why not start to get our stuff together for an exciting year of G20 Baseball??!?

Needless to say, I want to beat the stuffing out of blue hen. In case you missed it, a huge trade with serious title implications has already went down when WG traded AL MVP Josh Donaldson to blue hen for David Price and Jose Bautista!!!

Let's start with the basics: Please confirm your intentions on playing G20 Baseball for 2016.

I will start to get suggested dates, etc together later this month. This is the time to:

- solicit trades / post available players
- suggest any rule changes (but I would like to get all of that completed before March 1st)
- any other league business

Thanks.

422: Did some auditing and tried to pick up drafted players.

The "You Suck Ass" award goes to Nerfherders with 4 missed pickups.......and that is just right now. Something tells me others of his have gone unclaimed. Booooooooooooooooo.........like when Philly booed Santa.

youngroman was a close 2nd with 3 missed pickups this go around, and slizz gets the 'bronze' with 2.

Be kind to your leaguemates, people. We are ALL in multiple drafts - I shudder to think how many WG is in right now - so that is no excuse.

That said, I will say we are progressing very nicely. For that, I thank you all for your attention to your queues.

And through 6 rounds, the best drafter is... Judy! Judy has yet to spend a second on the clock, and has now become my 2nd favorite G20 member (behind MJD).

Khahan, Guru, Great One and darkside join Judy and me in the Under 10 Minutes club (Tosh barely misses), and the Over 40 Minutes club is bmd, Meatwads, MJD (hmm, maybe Judy should be ahead of him), Tree, and Fosten.

I could use everyone's help please:

Given our callups and some trades, we have many managers who will be forfeiting picks late in the draft. I need all managers to confirm their lost picks at the end of the draft. This will make a tremendous difference in administering the end of the draft.

Here is my first stab at it -- but for some guys like WG and Pete who have made multiple trades -- I don't want to take the time to figure out their pick situation. The following teams appear that they will forfeit the following picks:

Species: 13.12, 14.12, 14.15
youngroman: 14.13
blue hen: 11.20, 12.20
Judy: 14.10
Khahan: 14.18
Tosh: 13.16, 14.16
Fosten: 12.09, 14.09
Jaydog: 14.05
slizz: 10.09, 11.15 (?)

I am basing this list on: '10th keeper' callups and slizz' trade that crossed my mind. If every manager would please review their teams and advise. It will save us all a LOT of time towards the end of the draft trying to identify who needs to be skipped.

Thank you!

I will be using all of my remaining picks. I have 8 roster spots unfilled and 8 picks remaining in the draft.

For the record :
I started with 9 keepers
I added Hector Olivera as a 10th keeper
I traded Melancon to Species to bring me down to 9
I traded Dozier to Khahan for Upton, stays at 9
I have used 6 picks, which beings me to 15
I have 8 picks remaining, which brings me to 23.

I won't need my last 2 picks, I believe.

10th keeper at 11.08 will give me 23.

12.15 and 13.08 won't be needed.

Tree's pick 9.03 is invalid.

Hector Olivera,(Atl 3B) was a 10th keeper for Meatwads.

Must have not been removed from the database.

For those in rebuild mode, I'm putting Tyler Glasnow and Jon Gray on the block. Glasnow is arguably the 2nd best pitching prospect behind Giolito. While it would be nice to get the treasure trove of value Slizz did for Giolito, I'll be realistic. Looking to package both for an older, but established ace SP who can give me 200+ innings this year. If interested, let me know. Thanks!

Wow, this was one of the smoothest drafts I can remember. We averaged under an hour per pick. Judy finishes with no clock time used and is easily the clock champ. Pete, Roman, Tosh, Guru, and darkside were all under 15 minutes of clock per pick. Only Fosten and WG were over 30 minutes, and both were under an hour.

By contrast, my RIBC league had 9 players over 30 minutes, and one guy at 1:46:06 per pick (or 2:43:46 including freeze time). The quickest 6 managers put together took less time than that guy.

Anyone got a draft review? Anyone want a do-over? Anyone want Tyler Naquin for a mid-level pick?

Outstanding draft, everyone. Thank you for your attention. We had minimal delays, trades flying back and forth and attentive managers.

For the first time drafters, Tosh (I presume) is now in the process of re-entering our entire draft. It is a pain, but it is the only way to have the FA pool available for our Draftime draft.

Once the new 'offline draft' has been completed, the rest of the player pool will go on waivers and our 2016 season is ready to go and open for business. Until then, free agents transactions are frozen.

The draft has now been re-set, and re-entered. Unfortunately, ESPN did not allow to make roster changes to the keepers while entering draft results, so it made the process a little trickier.

So I had to -
- Re-set the draft
- Enter the 10th/11th keepers
- Enter the draft results - ESPN did not allow going over 23 players.
- Close the draft
- Process all the in-draft trades.
- Go back and add additional draftees, so that everyone has 23 players.
- Set the Waiver order

I think I did it correctly. But it is possible that I missed a trade.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR ROSTER FOR ACCURACY!!
