0 Subject: Gurupie 20 - 2022 Regular Season Discussion

Posted by: Species
- SuperDude [07724916] Mon, Apr 04, 2022, 12:44


Welcome to the 2022 Gurupie 20 Season! This is our 20th year in existence, and I could not be more proud. The pandemic and the lockout have tested our faith in Baseball.....and while those things can slow us down, Baseball inevitably makes it way back up.

G20 is my favorite league in my nearly 30 years of playing fantasy baseball. It has tested my mettle by starting completely from scratch, to back-to-back titles, to a quick reload between titles, and now in the midst of something between a rebuild and a reload (who knows what 2022 will exactly bring). It takes SO MUCH to bring home this pantheon of Championships.......do YOU have what it takes?

It is 3 days before Opening Day. The Prospect and Supplemental Drafts were a success (even if a couple of hiccups). Rosters are up to date and the waiver order is set. The Supplemental and Prospect Draft grids are reset for 2023 so you can see what you have -- I have already noticed I traded my 14th AND my "last"....oops I had better go get another 14th!

A few reminders for this year:

1) Four IL spots are available to Keepers, Prospects and "10th keepers" ONLY. Please be cognizant of the player restriction and manage accordingly. We will be self-policing this - if you see something awry, please let a Commissioner know.

2) Up to 10 COVID IL spots are available to ANY player on the COVID list. Hopefully the days of massive COVID outbreaks - or even too many individual days - are mostly behind us. But, since the site allows it I have extended it. This does require the player to specifically be on MLB's COVID list and be recognized / designated by Yahoo. This will also be self-policing.

3) The Shohei Ohtani exception. Please be reminded, and for clarification for our new managers, youngroman has owned Ohtani since our days hosted by ESPN. When we made the move to Yahoo, we wrote in an exception to allow BOTH the hitter and the pitcher to be treated as 'one player' for keeper and roster purposes. youngroman may drop and re-pick up Ohtani in Yahoo as many times as he wants in order to have something resembling the roster flexibility they had at ESPN. No other teams may pick up either the hitter or the pitcher. NOTE: youngroman (or any team he is traded to) must ALWAYS roster at least one Ohtani to retain these rights.

4) Prospects are shown as free agents in Yahoo - please be cognizant. You know when something is too good to be true....then it usually is? Please be aware of who is on the prospect list before picking up players that might have been prospect-eligible.

5) Trade Deadline is August 25th. Our rules indicate that our trade deadline is the last day available in August on our host site. That is August 25th this year.

6) Trade review resides with the league now - 7 vetos required to overturn. Thank you Trade Committee for your diligence this offseason.

- Our defending Champion bmd has already felt the sting of how hard it is to repeat - only 3 managers have done it in 20 years. Can he pull a LL Cool J and come back from a few tough breaks?
- Can Fosten finally pull the right in-season strings on his bevy of talent and prospects?
- Can WG pull magic out of a hat and be a contender?
- Will blue hen return to former glory?
- Can some of the new bucks - Thumper, Dowd, DonkeyKong, Code and Lyman make a big run / splash this year?
- How will our rookie managers taxman and Bobo do in reshaping their teams?
- Can Tree and GO build on last year's top 3 finish to challenge again?
- Can veterans darkside, Tosh, Nerfherders and youngroman rise to the top?
- Can Guru make a second run?
- How will Matt G put his own stamp on his team?

Only one way to find out. Good luck to all!

All trades have been processed.

Considering selling S1.08, Jose Abreu, Christian Yelich and Jacob DeGrom for future considerations - prospects and prospect picks, injured keepers, etc.

Francisco Lindor potentially available for more significant future considerations. TOP top prospect(s), high picks and younger players considered.

Also willing to wait and let guys break out early in the year, but the price goes up a bit given that I would be burning keeper spots on them.
