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.

Draft has started, untimed for the first round. After that we'll be going to a 4-hour clock.

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

The clock being on for 1/2 the day vs 2/3 the day could make for some regular slow downs... but if you don't think it's necessary, that's fine.

Thanks for a quick and timely draft. We got it in with a day and a half to spare!

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.

yesterday I was looking for updates on Eury Perez' recent elbow injury and at the top of the search page there was a very long article which inaccurately called it a shoulder injury then had a long analysis and statistics on shoulder injuries. So bad.

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?

you can IL a player you drafted and you can IL a player who is on your roster and then gets hurt. Can't pick up a hurt player then move them to IL.

So far, so good. Ive already lost my 3rd round pick, my closer, and my 3rd starter. I think I've lost something like eight players across all my teams just in the last two weeks.

Wow, I couldn't have handpicked a worse pitching staff then I have right now. I literally could have replaced all my starters with Rockies starters (all presumably undrafted) and done better so far.

Way to go Lopez, can't even get to the 5th inning against the white sox! So studly. My team hates me, and I hate them. I don't know how they can all be so bad all at the same time. It's like they know they're on a terrible fantasy team together.

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
