Can I assume that Ventura is a good pick? (It's a lot easier to sort through the 3B's taken as opposed to the pitchers ;-)

I picked in draft 3 earlier today... I actually didn't have to repick any of those. It's headed back the other way in that draft now.

$$ VIRTUAL CASH $$ for Pride

I am going to try to look ahead for my picks, but I'm sure I'll repick a few more before this is over. When I started, I thought we'd be done by this weekend. It didn't happen, and my parents have an "old" computer that has PerfectWorks and not Word, so I can't access any of my draft sheets.

not true sledge. personally i think these rounds are very important, especially in getting backups for risky earlier picks. i have jeter at ss but if i had nomar, i would be a little wary and want to draft a good backup ss that i wouldnt hesitate to plug into my starting lineup if nomar went down.

sledge, that's what i thought when i picked Paul LoDuca to back up Javy Lopez last year. stupid useless catcher. well, it helped win the league I was in last year. So put some thought into these picks, they are what make or break your season.

i always have better luck on the waiver wire than i do in the 24th and 25 rounds. there are always a few sleepers that breakout - you just don't know who they are going to be before the season starts. We all have an idea who they may be, but it's a guessing game. I think I'll just take 2 players off my favorite team these last two rounds. if jeter goes down you'd be screwed anyway. I had nomar last year - put picked up Jimmy Rollins off the waiver wire. as I did matt morris and roy oswalt.

Plus it's a good idea to take a player that qualifies at multiple positions. Like I did with Polanco - I believe he qualifies at 2 maybe 3 infield positions along with the outfield.

roto, no max, no max, maybe like 2 days waiver period so people who aren't able to check in for a while still have the chance to get who they want, maybe like 2 days for trade reviews also, i don't care what we decide for trade deadline but i think we shouldn't have one also, 162, 1200 sounds good but i could have sworn that yahoo last year had 1000, trade offer expires doesn't really matter if they don't accept it after they see it once chances are they won't accept it later.

- 162 games per position.
- no limit on IP.
- WEEKLY lineup changes.

I had this discussion with EH a few days ago.

IMO, because IP is a stat determined by the game, so it shouldn't be limitted in any way. it's like limiting minutes played in bball or pass attemps in football.

we can't limit games started, because closers doesn't start games, but weekly lineup changes should solve all this. let the bench be bench.

      Fri, Feb 22, 2002, 00:03
Oh, so you can only change your team around on Mondays then? Fine w/ me. One question though, what if one of your players gets injured in the middle of the week... does this force you to keep him on your roster until the next monday?
41sledge

      Fri, Feb 22, 2002, 00:44
I am agreeable to most everything above. IIRC in sandbox we were limited to 162 starts and 140 relief appearances for pitchers. For hitters it was 162 games per position. Most relief pitching appearances are obviously about 1 inning so that is 140 innings or so. 162 starts times approx 7 innings per start would be 1134 innings. That's 1274 innings total. I think we would be very safe with 1,300 innings. We need to put a limit on it in some way. I don't think it would need to be any higher than 1,500 innings max.

      Fri, Feb 22, 2002, 00:49
I don't like the Monday roster change. That's why we draft backup players. If a guy pulls a hamstring on Tuesday why would you need to wait a week to replace him in your lineup. I change my rosters alot according to ballparks, pitching matchups, threat of weather cancelations (especially early in the season). I don't see any need to have lineup changes only on Mondays. Tell Joe Torre to submit his lineup card for the week on Monday, yeah right.

waive period 3 days

Trade reject time 4 days

trade deadline August 21. Id like to see a time at the end of the year where we just have to push with the teams that we have.

if we decide on weekly roster changes i agree with NO IP requirements. If we go Daily 1300 is perfect.

as I stated in post 38, I think limiting IP is a bad idea.

also, I don't understand whats the big deal about having to wait 6 days MAX to make a change.

wiggs, you won't have to make your changes specificly on monday. you could change your lineup every day of the week, but the changes will actually be effective starting the next monday.

another reason: I don't think the bench should be used as a tool to rotate your pitchers. the bench should contain your backups, players you throw in there if one of your regulars is hurt. it's also a place to hold your injured players, or minor league sleepers you think will emerge later in the season.

so my vote is weekly changes and no IP limit.

My vote is for daily line up changes and why limit innings pitched? Like whats noted above, its a factor of how the game is played.
Basically, it punishes people who take good pitchers.
If you have a workhorse like Curt Schilling and are nearing you innings pitched limit at the end of season, you may have to consider skipping his starts. Why? Because he does his job well.
Limiting innings pitched is a bit silly to me.

Daily changes, 1300 IPs

There has to be an innings pitched limit or I could rotate my 5th and 6th starters by picking up guys off the WW thus getting extra games. 1300 IPs is plenty when considering "work horses" and adds more strategy to the game (should go to a 4 man rotation this week....like a real manager/GM has to decide)

Khahan, if we do daily linueup changes then there needs to be a limit on IP, it's just one of those roto rules. It's not going to punish those who have workhorses like Curt Schilling, it's going to punish those that make linuep changes everyday so they can always have 2-3 pitchers starting a night.

I've played in alot of fantasy leagues over the years and trading never really seems to matter much. Guys pick their teams and are usually unwilling to part with their players. There is the occasional 'wheeler and dealer', but I think that's rare. I would probably vote for an August 14th deadline, but since it probably won't be much of an issue anyway, I'll go with SO and Mikel and say the 21st.

Overall I am pretty satisfied with my draft. Outside of my need for a good 2nd relief pitcher I have a pretty balanced team. I am kind of backwards though - it looks like more of my power numbers will come from the infield and my speed numbers come from the outfield. I like my starting pitching staff. We'll see where it takes me. Good luck with the season guys. And even though it has taken forever it's been a pretty enjoyable draft, and I've really enjoyed some of the IM conversations that I've had. It's fun to get to know the guys you are playing with.

i say that there either has to be no trade deadline or no limit to how many pitching innings there can be. It isnt somethign that can be done after the draft. I selected 6 solid SPs because I was going for the best team. If I knew that there was a limit I would have picked a position player in place of a pitcher. Due to this i should still be able to use my pitchers and then trade out of them when i run out of starts.

i feel like if we limit innings pitched we should also limit number of games a pos play can play and maybe only start 2 Outfieldsrs or something like that. Its the same thing because you can go out an grab the best available position player if your guy is out for a day or two. It is the same thing.

Here's a question. People are concerned about innings pitched limits and trade deadlines because they are worried some people might drop a pitcher, then pick up another pitcher off the wire and start him and essentially start different pitchers every night. How about this:
We just don't do that?
I'm all for competitiveness and all, but can't we just sit down and say, "The spirit of this game is to see who can draft and field the best team. Don't do anything that is so obviously against the spirit of the game."
Its always seemed to me that rather than bogging people down with rules that are there solely to prevent abuse, lets just ask each other not to abuse.

If you guys want a trade deadline, then I am fine with that. But there definitely has to be an innings pitched limit in my opinion. the whole roto concept is about strategy, getting good pitchers and hitters that will help you in each category. it is also a strategy to manage your pitchers' innings so you don't go over the limit. i don't think its bad spirit in any sense if someone wants to pick up pitchers off the waiver wire and plug them into their starting rotation, this is their own strategy and they should be able to do it if they want, but there should be a consequence for doing so--that it counts towards your ip limit, and these managers wouldn't be able to carry on in this way very long. wiggs, i thought we did limit the number of games a position can play, and if we didn't we certainly should imo. 162 at a position is normal, so you have to judge for yourself whether you want to start your backup on your starter's off days. chances are for the most part that starter's will not play 162 games anyway, but even so there should be a limit. also, what would the point of starting 2 OF be? we drafted with the intention of starting 4, so this would unnecessarily penalize those who grabbed good OF early on.

Isn't there generally a 162 game limit per position in all these draft style fantasy games. There has been in the ones I've played anyway. The trade deadline is just setup so that at some point in the season you will be playing with the hand you are dealt. It's likely to be only the last month of the season anyway. It's very rare to see trades accomlished after August 1 anyway - most everybody is set and does not want to make trades anyway. As far as the outfield goes I think we are having 4 positions @ 162 games each correct. And your five infielders plus the utility spot for 162 games each. The innings pitched limit is an absolute must - 1300 right.

wazaap, exactly my point, it would penalize people for having a good draft. Well i feel like with an IP limit i am being punished. We decided on 7 pitchers and we should be able to use the 7 pitchers, just like we decided on 4 OFs and should be able to use 4 OFs. I dont hear anyone saying that you can only use those 4 OFs for 500 innings played. It is the same thing.

all players - pitchers and hitters are getting basically the same 162 games. The 1300 innings limit is basically 162 starts times 7 innings for 1134 innings and 140 relief appearances times 1 inning. that is a total of 1274 innings plus an extra 16 innings to work with.

That is an average. 7 innings per start is ususally a max then the setup guy and the closer. Occassionally it's different, but it's an average. If you guys would look at the pitching innings limit as a games played limit of 162 it will make much more sense to you. It's really not as tough as you are making it. And definitely nothing to get worked up over.

Joe Torre is limited by a 162 game schedule. Just as we are. 162 9 inning games is 1458 innings. But obviously his starters won't pitch all 1458 innings right

your catchers arent going to play all 162 either, but there is still room for them to do that.

Catchers ? Outside of Pudge and Piazza is anyone really going to put up any kind of numbers that will help your squad? It's a 162 game limit per position not per man. If you want 162 games out of your catcher spot you'd better pick up backup and insert him on your starters off days.

no one takes middle relief because holds isnt a category. Of course you wouldnt. But someone like ramiro mendozs (sp) would be a good pick up if it meant anythign. but with innings pitched limited no one ever will.

wiggs-- I think it would be helpful to start a new thread that summarizes the different sides. It will be hard to decide too much right now, anyway, since only about 3 or 4 of us are on. It would help to get the draft finished, too. It will be easier to talk once we get the final 5 picks out of the way, I think.

Sorry if I'm butting into something that isn't my business here, but I am interested since this issue is sure to come up in the league I am drafting for now with wiggs, EH, Dan and Mikel. Have you considered just limiting GS? If a typical SP starts 30 games per year, why not limit your staff to, say 190 GS for the year? That would allow people to rotate in relief pitchers as they see fit when they want to conserve starts, and possibly could give value to middle reliever types. I suppose some might have drafted somewhat differently if this were established earlier, though. Just a thought.

MITH, thats exactly my point, i would have definately picked differently. As far as hampton, i will take his innings, i think he is a good pitcher.

Ok, so the argument to put a limit on innings pitched is that on average starters only pitch 7 innings. I can live with that.
What about the final 2 innings though?
Who pitches those? If I'm reading this right, innings pitched limit goes against starters and closers. So, if every one of my starters pitches every game they are supposed to and pitches a full 7 innings in all those game, that means I cannot use my relief pitchers, right?
What about extra innings?
I can deal with an innings pitched limit, but only if its 1450-1500. That is 162 games 9 innings a game. That way, our pitchers have the same access to the same number of innings as our hitters do. Fair?

i just added up my innings of my 6 main pitchers and 1 RP and it comes to 1555 from last year, that would eliminate an entire pitcher.

Khahan - you didn't do all the math. 162 times 7 is 1134 innings. you still have 156 innings for your relievers to get to 1300

i guess i didn't do all the match that is 166 innings for relievers. 4 innings over the 162 game limit.

Tduncan, is it possible for you to post a final graph?
I don't think we necessarily need the completed round by round graph, but it would be great if you could do the finalized version of the graph that has our players broken out by position.
And thank you for keeping up with that throughout the draft, too.

Looks good blockaa, it seems that we have had some problems with making up the rules and it seems that makeing the league 1300 IP, Daily, and No Trade Deadline will be the closest we can get to making everyone happy.

I'll be making the league right now.

Hope everyone has a lot of fun in the first ever NOT SO MOCK DRAFT!!!!!

I don't see the problem with having a trade deadline. Last league I was in there were hardly any trades let alone trades late in the year. The only REAL reason someone would want to make a trade late in the year is if it was a keeper league and they wanted to trade a stud to a contender for a possible keeper.

Pride, if there is no trading going on anyways, you have nothing to worry about. It is always nice to have an option though.

Tduncan. i dont know what you are not liking, you got your inning limit rule you wanted. You say that 1300 is plenty of innings, well i figured out yesterday if i start my top 5 pitchers and 2 relievers i will still go over 1300 by over 100 innings. That is with out changing a single pitcher all season. 1300 isnt that many innings. All pitchers these days with the exception of injuries hit the 200 + inning mark.

or... if it's not a keeper league, the guy maxed out hit limited IP, and he now trades all his pitchers for better hitting.

and thats not suppose to happen.

thats right wiggs... and where did you get the idea I want the IP limit? I was the only one against that when we voted earlier.

you guys know what my opinion is. but if we are not going with weekly changes, and we are doing IP limit, a trading deadline is a must.

tduncan, you are like talking to a wall. Weekly changes are dumb, they make no sense. I agreed to the limit, but dam right, when i run out of ips i am going to trade for hitters. There was no talk of limits when i drafted and i loaded up on pitching. I am not going to get punished for this.

OK everyone I already made the league...I can still change Trade Deadline So everyone tell me what you want...this is where you can discuss what you want and why you want it.

This is the final vote what ever comes out of this will be FINAL.

We have 1300 IP
We have Daily changes
(those cannot be changed)

After this vote please no more Complaining Please lets all be Adults here.

thats right wiggs, you should be able to start all your starting pitchers, for the WHOLE season, NO MATTER FOR HOW INNINGS THEY GO.

we don't need the IP limit thing at all. it's a dumb thing to limit.

BUT... in order to prevent people from shifting roatetions and start 8 different pitcher every day, we need to make the lineup changes weekly. IT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY!

I actually feel like I'm talking to a wall too. but this is the last time I'm metionning this. do whatever you want. I will play either way.
