Only missing 3 in Draftime.
Guru has, in the interests of time, suggested we skip the drafting order process and use random numbers he will supply. As soon as everyone is in we will be ready to go.

I noticed in the league settings, the batting categories are
Runs (R),
Runs Batted In (RBI),
Stolen Bases (SB),
Batting Average (AVG),
On-base Percentage (OBP),
Slugging Percentage (SLG)
Unless the rules have changed for these leagues, AVG should be removed.

Only problem with that Guru is that we are all registered with the draft order set and the draft open. To do that, Mike V would have to start a new league, all 16 managers would have to re-register and we'd basically start over.
Not saying we shouldn't. But it seems extreme like a last ditch option.

No rush--even if it takes a couple of days to straighten this out then that is fine, IMO. The league is full of veteran Gurupies who know how to draft. I'm not worried, myself.

Never imagined I'd go OF, OF, OF with my opening 3. In fact I had it mapped out. But I think I can adjust later in the draft to compensate for the position I decided not to pick. Both players I had targetted for 2/3 were available but I couldn't pass up Puig's potential. Still.....3x OF. But still a projected 300 runs, 250 rbi's, 50sb and top notch ratios is nothing to complain about from the opening 3.
Still not sure I actually picked 3 of first, though.

Honestly MBT,I'm surprised at some of the names being taken the past 2 rounds considering other names left on the board. I wont get into specifics but there are some people (rookie players not included) who seem to be stuck in 2010 for their player rankings.

Welcome back Boozer. Certainly not knocking people. I just had my draft mapped out. Of the 7 rounds I snagged 3 players and one was 2 rounds later than I expected.
I've done 6 mock drafts and have the average pick for the first 250 players from them. Given these were 12 team leagues w/ no ci or mi. But there are guys who I was expecting to reach for in round 8 that aren't available.
Just glad to be drafting though. Its always fun and if it was predictable as I'd hoped it wouldn't be near as fun.

You are not the only one confused about Eaton.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Eaton_(outfielder)
Eaton has been confused with former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher Adam Eaton. On one instance, he received six licensing checks from MLB worth $20,000 each, and has received fan mail meant for the MLB veteran.

My team is correct.

Any chance you can start the league today so we can set up our rosters for tomorrow? If you wait until tomorrow we'll have to do retroactive stats.

Only reason not to start is that it is a lot easier to fix a roster problem prestart. But then we've got 2 weeks to fix it if it's broke.
I'll start it this afternoon

Possible to remove the "old" league? Be nice to get rid of it for a couple reasons.

I'm heading out and wont have any access probably until Sunday. I DO have players from LAD and Ari. Can you use the edit roster to set those players in for me once the league is activated?

Commish can you re-add Kennedy to my roster. It was a mistake, I thought I was in my other league on my phone app.

I was looking over my draft to see where I really went wrong (rounds 4, 5, 6, 7) and realized that as a whole our round 7 picks for this league were absolutely brutal:
I'm going to include my 6.16 pick and booser's 8.01 because really, on the turn, who's to say which really was on your mind first or second. Will list overall pick, name and rank
96 aaron hill 330
97 allen craig 747
98 james shields 129
99 joe nathan 297
100 manny machado 301
101 alex gordon 94!!!!!
102 jason heyward 130
103 chase headley 465
104 michael wacha 179
105 kris medlen 722
106 jason grilli 353
107 homer bailey 210
108 brian mccann 341
109 carlos beltran 308
110 brandon belt 816
111 glen perkins 102!!!
112 david robertson 103!!!
113 gerritt cole 310
3 players in round 7 beat their draft slot position and 2 of them are closers. None of them beat their slot by double digit points.
Any other leagues have just a miserable round of drafting like this?

I'm sure, looking over that list, many of us felt we were actually getting some steals. Gio, Medlen, Heyward, etc.
A quick look at the consolidated draft results seems to indicate that we drafted those guys pretty much in the same positions as other RIBC leagues as well. So at least we weren't alone!
