Posted by: judy
- Leader [7771722] Thu, Feb 26, 2009, 12:09
Here are our managers for 2009:
1. Judy 2. TD 3. youngroman 4. mjd 5. Adam 6. MattG 7. MBT 8. jaydog 9. beastiemiked 10. B7 11. flying polack 12. slackjawed yokel 13. ksoze 14. valkyrie 15. bandos 16. wiggs
As soon as the RIBC makes official where their league will be hosted (Yahoo or ESPN), I'll set up our league as well, and email the sign up info.
The draft will be launched on Monday March 9, with no clock for the first week. The 6 hour clock will go into effect on Monday morning March 16.

I sent an email asking for your preference for ESPN or YAHOO. RIBC is staying with YAHOO. AAA INTL is polling its managers.
Wiggs -- I do not have your email!!!

my vote: ESPN
reasons: - G20 Hoops is using ESPN and since I joined a few weeks ago I had no problems - free live scoring - play pickups on the same day as long as the 1st game of the day hasn't started. - I don't think that the overall max game limit may get exploited. I haven't seen a team that got near the max in games at more than 2 positions. I was close last year and played really hard to get there.

My vote is to stay with Yahoo.

My preference would be to stick with Yahoo.

i would prefer yahoo as well

I prefer ESPN. My company blocks yahoo fantasy sports and the free live scoring that ESPN provides is excellent. Boo to stattracker $$$.

I would like to have this feature:
play pickups on the same day as long as the 1st game of the day hasn't started.
I understand Yahoo can now do this. I would even be willing to switch to the International League if they have this feature and we do not.
I'm in a Yahoo Plus league already, so i would prefer Yahoo, I guess. But i would prefer the same day pickup feature more.

12 | MattG

ESPN

It looks like the feature where you can pick up a player the same day of the game is only available in a Plus league at Yahoo. Even then, I can't find much about it.
So I'm going to go with ESPN.

14 | TD Leader
ID: 036331011 Thu, Feb 26, 2009, 20:43

My preference is ESPN. Primary reason is same day pickups.

Who wants to volunteer to do the random numbers thing for choosing draft order???
Volunteer needed!! beastie???
You can send the random numbers to me via email and I will pass them along to our volunteer. I think 3 sets will be fine. I'll let you know when I get them.

yeah, I don't really have a preference either...

20 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Thu, Feb 26, 2009, 23:26

Votes so far: ESPN: 5 YAHOO: 4 NO PREF: 3 3 more votes needed...(I'm tiebreaker...)

No preference for me.
FYI: Mudge and I are wanting to co-manager this team, is everyone ok with that?
|
23 | mjd Leader
ID: 501381415 Fri, Feb 27, 2009, 13:07

Yahoo for me. I already have 2 other teams set up there.
|
24 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Fri, Feb 27, 2009, 13:36
|
don't tell me we are having a 3 way tie...
ESPN = 5 YAHOO = 5 NO PREF = 4
The thing for me as commish is that I would like someone in RIBC to already be familiar with the ESPN site so questions could be answered. As it stands now, it looks like AA and maybe INTL will try ESPN with RIBC staying with YAHOO. We have some folks already familiar with commishing in YAHOO whom I could lean on...
|
25 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Fri, Feb 27, 2009, 13:39

I have one set of random numbers -- need 2 more please.
Also need a volunteer to crunch them.
|
26 | Adam
ID: 32110188 Fri, Feb 27, 2009, 14:08
|
I have volunteered to crunch the numbers (ie, randomize them given the numbers provided). Please send random 1-16 to Judy.
|
27 | Valkyrie
ID: 4211421823 Fri, Feb 27, 2009, 15:55
|
I will go Yahoo primarily because I think it will be easier for Judy to Commish a league that has everything the same as RIBC.
|
28 | judy
ID: 597401015 Fri, Feb 27, 2009, 16:28
|
OK THEN,
It looks like YAHOO is it for us with AA and INTL being the ESPN guinea pigs for this season. Any STRENUOUS objections???
Thanks Adam -- I have two sets of numbers now -- need one more set. Hopefully we'll get them tonight. I am out for dinner -- will be checking back in around 8 or so EST.
With luck, we can begin selecting our draft order picking spots (or is it "draft picking order spots"?) this weekend.

Unless this is a Yahoo Plus league with same day transactions in yuor lineup, I'd like to see about switching leagues, if it's not too late. There may be someone over there that wants to use Yahoo. I'm going to leave a message at the AAA Int'l site.

Bandos:
I think that co-managing will put you at a disadvantage considering how well you and Mudge did in my league last year (10th and 15th) :)
But if you want to co-manage, it is OK with me.

|
32 | judy Leader

Thanks to wiggs, MBT and TD for the numbers -- sending to Adam right now!

Here are the final numbers. I have the work in excel so I'll post that in a moment when I figure out the best way to go about it...
1 bandos 2 mjd 3 slackjawed yokel 4 wiggs 5 Adam 6 jaydog 7 ksoze 8 beastiemiked 9 Judy 10 youngroman 11 MBT 12 B7 13 flying polack 14 TD 15 valkyrie 16 MattG

ID: 551222810 Sat, Feb 28, 2009, 11:30
|
I started by using the reverse order of the list at the top of this post (as I indicated to Judy that I would do). So, with that as the baseline, Wiggs sent the following list:
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15
and this resulted in the new order:
1 bandos 2 ksoze 3 flying polack 4 beastiemiked 5 MBT 6 Adam 7 youngroman 8 Judy 9 wiggs 10 valkyrie 11 slackjawed yokel 12 B7 13 jaydog 14 MattG 15 mjd 16 TD
|
35 | Adam
ID: 551222810 Sat, Feb 28, 2009, 11:33
|
MBT sent the following numbers:
5 9 16 2 10 7 6 1 3 15 12 4 11 8 14 13
which resulted in this new order:
1 MBT 2 wiggs 3 TD 4 ksoze 5 valkyrie 6 youngroman 7 Adam 8 bandos 9 flying polack 10 mjd 11 B7 12 beastiemiked 13 slackjawed yokel 14 Judy 15 MattG 16 jaydog
|
36 | Adam
ID: 551222810 Sat, Feb 28, 2009, 11:35
|
And finally, TD sent these numbers:
8 10 13 2 7 16 4 12 14 6 1 11 9 3 5 15
which gave us the final order that I posted above. Sorry this took up so much space...I couldn't paste the excel format in here.

Ok the draft order is all set up on Kafenatid.
This message repeats much of what is in the email:
Timed draft will start on Monday March 16 at 6 am (although I will probably hit the button before I go to bed Sunday night). You will have 6 hours to pick. The draft will be timed from 6 am to midnight EDT. There will be a weekend pause in effect.
NOTE: We can also choose to keep going over the weekends...
The untimed draft is set to begin this Monday, March 9th -- again probably starting at bedtime Sunday...
HOWEVER, I can turn it on at any time. For me, I have my round 1 list all set from 1 - 8, so I am ready... after that, well, we'll see where I go...
Chime in here as to your preference for when you want me to hit the the untimed draft start button!

Not that it matters because I've got the 15th pick, but I won't be able to spend any time on my draft list until Sunday/Monday.

I say go ahead and get things started. I see no reason to wait at this point since it is untimed.

Still researching here and may not be ready to pick until Monday, but if people want to start, please do.
I'd have been ready, as I was using some downtime to prep when I lost power for about 24 hours. Survived with gas logs and vodka, but now I'm behind in my research with little free time through the weekend.
Figures.... I'm moving to a house with a backup generator in about a month or so.

Anybody in the top 6 ready to go? If so, I'll turn it on... that way we can at least see whom we cannot pick!
Don't want to put too much pressure on folks just yet...
As a courtesy once we do start, if you do not plan to pick for a designated time (ie., in meetings all day, not ready, away for the day, out for dinner back around 9), please post here with an approximate pick time (if you know it) so that those of us eager beavers who are waiting (like MattG at #14...) don't keep running to the computer to check every hour or so. The messages in #80 and 83 are perfect examples of this courtesy!
Of course, once we get rolling, the Q and DP systems should be used!

Good thing we all got the news about A-Rod before we drafted -- I feel sorry for the keeper league folks. I think it is the same injury/surgery that Utley had. It killed the second half of his season.
THE DRAFT IS TURNED ON.
I emailed bandos to see if he was ready and he told me his pick, so we are good to go!

Now that we are into our draft it is time to review the DRAFT COURTESIES that are expected of you. They are more relevant for the timed part, but I thought I would send them out now.
1) If you will take a long time to draft, put a note in the thread: "Not picking until 6 pm EDT." "In a meeting all morning, need to wait to see who else is picked." "Left a Q; if it is gone, I'll be back around 9 PM EDT."
Messages like that keep everyone cool and relaxed.
2) Use the Q system. Try to leave at least one round worth in your Q.
3) Use the designated picker (DP) tool in Kafenatid. If you have special instructions ("Q good for round #5 ONLY."), please put that into the thread or in an email to your DP'r.
4) If you are a DP'r, and Kafenatid sends you an email that you are UP to DP for someone, you MUST first: Read your email to see if there are special instructions. Read the thread to see if there are special instructions. If there is nothing there, go ahead and make the pick.
5) I am the automatic DP'r for everyone. I can see who has Q's available, but not the players in the Q. In the beginning of the draft, if you have made your Q available, I usually wait about 15 min to see if you will pick, unless you leave instructions to "go ahead" in the thread or in an email to me.
You will find me to be a very active commish, both during the draft and hopefully during the long season. During the draft it may seem "pushy" but we need to keep it moving!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PICKS and let's keep the draft moving!

In the later rounds I will set up a queue and let everyone here know my schedule...

I'm actually trying something different. In past drafts I would have drafted Hamilton, but my new method has me going a different way. I can't really say much more, because it will give up my strategy, maybe after the draft...

The big problem I see is that the "traditional" way of drafting is that player ratings are based on past performance and future expectectations.
Which does not guarentee future results.
I'm trying a twist in my draft strategy also, this year.
Looks like it's to draft as many Texas Rangers as possible. I'm starting to feel like Judy if she lived in Texas ;0)

We moved at a similar pace in the AA league I commished, last year and I don't believe I ever turned on the clock.
Also, as AAA, we're bound by tradition (and encouraged by Guru) to do rationales. I've started mine, but like doing them to talk myself into or out of a pick.

Finally picked. I must've looked at 10 different players in depth. Way different than my Chipper selection, who is actually rated higher than BJ or Prince on my spreadsheet.
I wonder why he dropped... what's that you say? He's injury prone? What? Hasn't played 150 games since 2003? No wonder he dropped, hehe.
|
168 | MattG

Chipper is solid in leagues where replacements are easy to come by. In deep leagues his value drops since his replacement for the games he misses is going to be very far below average. With his %'s, if he ends up playing 130+ he should be a good pick.

done.
why in hell did I pick 3 Astros in the first 4 rounds? I don't know. I simply looked at their stats, previous and projected and they came up on top.
the Oswalt pick was a tough one. I looked at a specific hitter too, but was much more comfortable with him.
whats up with rationales? I usually write them before posting my pick because this is a good way to think about what I am doing. that said, I haven't written anything this year, so I already know why my team will underperform.

RE: RATIONALES
AAA managers are expected to do round by round rationales which are then reposted neatly into a thread so all can read. It is a lot of work for you and the reposters, so how about this suggestion?
Every 5 rounds, you summarize your picks in any way you want and put it into one thread entry. The limitations of course would be that you cannot mention any player not yet picked.
Does that sound more reasonable and doable? Let me know and I'll start up a new thread and be the first entry so you can see what is might look like.

NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS:
TIMED CLOCK: Normally the interval is 6 hours. I do not think we have come close to that once we got started, so I suggest we keep that.
DAILY DRAFT PAUSE: For RIFC, we did midnight to 6 am EDT. The other RIBC seem to be using 1 am to 7 am EDT.
WEEKEND PAUSE: Do you want one? It would be 1 am Sat (Fri) to 7 am Monday.
Let your thoughts be known here please.

If we continue even close to this pace, do we really need a clock? This is an attentive and experienced group and we should easily finish ahead of time.
Plus once we get into the later rounds it's easier to use the queue system.
I did it in AA last year without turning it on once.
|
200 | TD Leader
ID: 036331011 Thu, Mar 12, 2009, 22:03

I agree with mjd. I see no need for a clock. The draft is moving at a good pace will probably move faster in later rounds.
|
201 | MattG
ID: 81282018 Thu, Mar 12, 2009, 22:25
|
No need for a clock unless the average pick time and the number of picks left would put us past opening day... At that point, we'll need a clock... but i dont see that happening with this group...
|
202 | mjd Leader
ID: 501381415 Thu, Mar 12, 2009, 22:35

Expect things to slow down a little on the weekends, but that will happen with or without a clock.
As long as we maintain pace during the week, we should be fine.
Judy, what are our pick times and estimated completion time?
|
203 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Thu, Mar 12, 2009, 23:16

Oh, you guys cannot see that at the top on Kafenatid?
91 picks made, 309 left 1:50/pick finish: 4-05
we've completed 2+ rounds today. It does seem that most people are home at night (EDT) and checking in.
WE REALLY ARE IN GREAT SHAPE, SO IF NO ONE DISAGREES WE'LL JUST KEEP GOING UNTIMED...
|
204 | mjd Leader
ID: 501381415 Fri, Mar 13, 2009, 00:19

Doesn't the season start 4/5?
As stated above, decisions later in the draft will be easier and people will be more comfortable using queues.
Maybe Judy can keep us informed on our stats. We need to drop that time between picks a little so that Judy has time to load the rosters and run wavers.

OKEEDOKEE.
What I will do is post each night around 10 EDT the status of our draft as per the data in #203.
If we appear to be slowing down, we can set a clock. How does that sound?
I will have some time today and am planning to load the rosters with picks 1-5. I don't think Yahoo lets you load your rosters the way AOL and FanBall do -- but IF that is the case I'll be having you load your own!!

NON BASEBALL NOTE:
Did anyone else watch the 6 OT Big East Syracuse/UConn game last night? I am having trouble keeping my eyes open this am! Also Pitt lost and Villanova got very lucky after a big lead. Now what will the committee do about #1 seeds???
The Big Dance is going to be like our draft -- kinda unpredictable and wild. I usually mess up my brackets early:)

That 4/5 finish date isn't correct. That is taking into account the average pick time since Judy turned on the draft.
The reality is we've been averaging 20+ picks per day since Monday.
We've got 288 picks left, at 20 per day, we'll finish two weeks from today --March 27th.
To finish by 3/30/09, which should probably be our target date, we need to average 17 picks per day.
I vote that as long as we hit 17 picks per day we keep the clock off, but as soon as we miss that number, we turn on the clock.

I did stay up and watch that instant classic. I think it is playing again on ESPN classic all day, lol. Too bad for my huskies but what a great, ridiculous game. Missed free throws and stupidity (you gotta foul up 3 with under 20 sec to play!)
Will pick once I get caught up.
Hey, I just noticed that ksoze is in this league - awesome. My B101 pitching staff leaves something to be desired - its gonna be a struggle there with no 2/3 round picks.

I just practiced putting the rosters into your teams. It will be easier if I wait until the draft is finished and I have ALL your players ready to go. I suspect it will only take me about an hour to get them all in, so that is not a worry for us.

214 | Flying Polack Sustainer
ID: 378582811 Fri, Mar 13, 2009, 10:08

Judy the draft was turned on Wednesday, but we didn't really start drafting until Monday. That time from Wednesday to Monday counts in the average. So pretty much whatever we do, the average that you see is going come down.
Like I said, we should really target 3/30 to finish. As Commish you're going to want one week to get the drafted loaded, have everyone check it, run waivers, etc...

I watched that AMAZING game last night Correction, this morning, both teams were just exhausted, Harris from Cuse was so tired he couldn't dunk he missed so many close shots.
I think we will see syracuse win today too, they run a 2/3 zone so their players don't get tired on defense... It's what let carmello and company win in 2003 i think.... and Gerry McNamara and co go on a nice run like 3 years ago... It comes in handy when you play a lot of games in a short amount of time.

I can leave a que for a couple rounds, but after that can someone call me or text me once in awhile and let me know what picks were made? And how do I set Kafanated. If you email me I can give you my cell # and I'll also send it to Judy. Thanks....Go USA

Judy if you have to delete picks, don't worry about it. It's not that big of deal. I thought you could just swap the players out.

Learn something new every year. Matt is fixed, but now we need the guys up to Jaydog to confirm that their pick is good.
SO do a copy paste:
Valkyrie: TD: B7 (gone for weekend as per #276 and his Q is empty and unavailable...) MBT YR judy (No I do not want Span for pick 16.9) mjd jaydog
When everyone has checked in (except for B7), I will restart the draft.

Judy, since you stopped the draft I can no longer access the draft on Kafenatid. Just for confirmation I drafted Mike Jacobs, KC, 1B

with the benefit of hindsight I would like to change my pick but not to pick up Span- LOL. (That means I pass move forward).
|
283 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Wed, Mar 18, 2009, 19:28
|
OK so we have NO SPAN from:
YR, Judy, mjd, MBT, jaydog
Since jaydog left a one man Q, and he got his guy I will also assume he did not want Span either (poor Span)
I am going down to eat dinner and will be back up around 8 to see if TD and Valkyrie have checked in -- sorry for the inconvenience.

I don't think people should be able to change picks. Unless they want Span. We should just put Guthrie in Matt's spot and move the draft forward.
Otherwise you have the benefit of seeing how the future strategy played out for people drafting after you.

I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting that we change players other than the possible Span substitution (for the record I still want Jacobs). On another note, I'll bet this is the most Denard Span has ever been discussed in a fantasy baseball thread!

By the way I am home tomorrow ~10:30 to 11:30 and then after 2 pm for the duration, but will be watching BBall. So if you leave Q's filled I can help out -- I'll check every half hour or so.
B7, you can send me separate email lists for each round before you leave, with instructions. I won't open them until it is time!!! I CAN call you, but do not want to ruin your adventure. I don't have texting... maybe someone else can text you the picks and then email info to me?? Whatever, we'll work it out.
I expect that we might finish up over the weekend.

I read today that his spring BA is somewhere around .097, but I did have him for a while last year and the kid has some real talent if he can make better contact. Also, I was kidding about knowing, but I guess I could make some educated guesses ;)

I have to agree, we all have "real world" issues to deal with and I'm sure Bandos is stuck at work or something, but we do need to turn on the clock so this sort of thing doesn't happen again.

Td- Not sure what post 321 means- you indicate you left a 2 player post for round 18 but we are now in 19 and one of your players is still there? Not sure if you meant to hold after 18 or not but in the interests of not making a mistake I will wait for you to make your own pick?

Valkyrie --
Slackjawed already drafted K Escobar in 20.14! Who do you want for 22.04?
Nice pick up by MattG. Anybody have email access to Valkyrie? I am not at home.
Let me stop the draft for a bit -- B7 is at the WBC and will need a few minutes anyway.

sweet YR -- Branyan was #2 on my list for round #22!

I can only hope that Branyan fills a nice hole at CI because he should be eligible at 1B soon.
and btw, Dickerson was #2 on my list for round #20. I thought between him and Juan Cruz and decided to take the RP, only to see Dickerson on top of your queue. I hoped I picked him instead.
I am now down to 9 draftable hitters. I don't know yet if I need any more, but I made a list 2 days ago. it was 20 man long back then. the problem with all the hitters is always their playing time.

ID: 487162821 Sun, Mar 22, 2009, 17:42

yeah -- I belatedly discovered the depth charts (I always check them for RIFC, but didn't know where to look for RIBC... and that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!) -- and that is why I chose Tracy, as I desperately needed a 1B backup for Huff. Branyan does have power though and is penciled in as a 1B platooner.
Ya took cruz off my list too -- although at #20 I needed to prop up my OF a bit.
I am not sure just what I need now, but the list of decent players is sure getting short! I make a nice Q list and people just plain STEAL them away! There oughtta be a law!

ID: 47227122 Sun, Mar 22, 2009, 23:10

yeah, I laughed. I was half watching the WBC, and didn't even know he was pitching. After I selected him, I looked up to see that he had just struck out the side. I haven't been following the WBC too closely, so didn't even know he was on the team.
|
390 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Sun, Mar 22, 2009, 23:36

I thought maybe you picked him because of seeing him tonight. I know that I am reaching for straws in these final rounds, but I did have him on a list...as hi K, low WHIP and low ERA potential.

ksoze -- be sure to update us that your Q is good for #23 --I doubt we will get back to you for #24 before you get home Monday afternoon.
Nightly update: pretty consistent:
361 made, 51 left 1:09/pick end date: 3-25
As soon as the draft ends, I will be putting the lineups into Yahoo -- it is easier for me to wait until the end as I can reference the Kafenatid team lists that pop up when the draft is finished. HOWEVER, note that Tuesday night, I have limited computer access as I am not at home overnight. I message and draft off the iPhone then. I would expect them to be all in by Wednesday midnight at the latest. I will send you an email when the Yahooooooooooooo site is activated and we will allow a couple of days to check over the lineups. Then the FA stuff can start up.
OK?

Ok I have entered all the names up through round #23. So as soon as we finish up, I'll hit the "done" button, and I assume that gives you access to your team.
When would you like to open FA and Waivers so you can make changes? We would just agree to do this -- I don't think there is a control for it in Yahoooooooooooooo.
Thursday or Friday midnight EDT?
|

here are our current draft results to verify.
my team looks good.
I'd say that we activate the league sometime tomorrow. that gives us 2 days of waivers and over a week until the season starts.

406 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Mon, Mar 23, 2009, 20:43

yup I screwed it up - but as long as 2 slots are blank it is OK. The rounds are not in order -- I used the draft grid left to right. How are you able to look if I didn't hit the done button?
|
407 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Mon, Mar 23, 2009, 20:46

oh, so you can check on your lineup but just not do anything with it -- hmm.
Can you tell I have not worked with Yahooooooooooo before?
YR -- you snatched Lannon off the top of my Q... you gotta cut it out -- although I get to go first on the last round...
|
408 | Flying Polack Sustainer
ID: 378582811 Mon, Mar 23, 2009, 20:48

Judy - please don't be in a hurry to hit the done button. At this point we are in great shape and don't need to be in any sort of hurry.
Assuming we finish the draft tomorrow. Give everyone 'til Thursday to check their rosters (you can see them in the link on 402). At that point, if everything looks good we can go live.
That will leave more than a week for waivers.
|
409 | judy Leader
ID: 7771722 Mon, Mar 23, 2009, 21:06

Judy, What I've done in the past when a player is not in the yahoo database is give them a placeholder that no one would want and require that as long as they keep that player on their roster until the player is drafted, they have rights to them. If they drop the placeholder, they lose the rights to their drafted player and they enter waivers as normal. In this case, as long as the manager keeps the garbage player on their roster, when Cordero enters waivers, send out a note that no one can claim him and the manager that drafts him can make the swap at that point.

Thank you everyone for a great draft.
Remember to bring your rationales up to date.
We will also have a draft recap in a few days. I'll send an email and post here.
Please check over your Yahooooooooooooo lineups carefully for errors and report them here ASAP.
I anticipate hitting the "done" button at 6 am Friday?? or midnight Thursday?? any preference?

I replied to the e-mail already, but I'd suggest Thursday at 2pm, that gives everyone 48 hours to check their roster. Waivers clear on Sunday and everyone has a week to tinker.

Andrus, the starting SS for TEX is listed as NA.
And then there is poor Cordero who is not listed at all...
Anyone else with inconsistencies/
