Looking forward to it, except that, if I understand the way it works correctly, only one of us can move straight up to RIBC.

Sorry, Judy.

I'd be happy to get to AAA!! My teams have been horrible the past few years. Drafting fielder first last year killed my chances right away...

Sparky I sent you an email. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Everyone is signed into ESPN. thanks.

Next step will be random order thingie. I'll get going on that this weekend. We use it for you to pick your draft position. The draft is a regular snake. The rifc teams debated it and it stayed that way.

Here is their conclusion:

With 14 votes in, the train has left the station.

The status quo (traditional snake) already has 10 votes, greater than a majority of all 16 managers. Option C (3RR) was a clear second choice.

So we'll stick with the regular snake. While it has seemed that picking at the top of the order is a recurring preference (when given the choice), there is no evidence that those picking there have any significant advantage during the season.

Over the 11 years of RIBC, the team picking first has won twice, but averaged finishing in 7th place. The team picking 2nd has won once, and an average finish of 8th place. So the empirical evidence suggests that if there is any bias, it is very slight.

Further, in 7 of the 11 years, the team with the #1 pick did not finish in the top 6 of the standings, which is generally the threshold for earning a return invitation. The team picking second had more barbelled results - five times finishing in the top 4, and five times in the bottom 5.

BTW, the reverse of this order should be used for waiver priorities to start the season. For example, Goatlocker will have the top waiver priority to start the season.

To speed up the bottom of this draft pick selection, give me the lowest available spot and Goatlocker the highest available spot. ;)

But seriously I'll take the lower of the two remaining spots.

The big boys are starting March 17th. Maspero is on vacation until march 14 so we will start on march 15. As he is #1 I will ask him to pick asap.
We will begin untimed. You are expected to use the features of drafttime to pre select your picks. You all know that I will be bugging you to keep going.

This is the earliest draft I am in. I am in Phoenix at Spring Training. I will lose my internet in my RV in the PM of 16 MAR and will get home very late on 17 MAR. I'll try my best to leave a decent queue and will attempt to do something with Smart Phone capability while travelling if required.

Judy can you send me an e-mail to discuss what if scenarios?

Draft rationales are generally done in groups of five picks. 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, etc.

You name your picks and then say why you picked him or how someone you wanted was snatched away, etc.

I will set up a thread for 1-5 and we shall see how it goes. It is required for RIBC so if you plan to get there it is good practice.

Plus they are fun to read!!!

@Toral Completely agree, can't believe how quickly we are moving.

BTW I'm heading out of town on Thursday - Sunday. I'll be bringing my computer and I'm always available with a smart phone. I'll try not to hold things up and if I have to I'll set a Queue

      Wed, Mar 18, 2015, 01:54
People use the queue delay if they know they will be around and want to see who was picked, but don't want to hold things up too long.

Loving the rationale's thus far. I find it interesting that you didn't include Harvey in your thought process when you took Zimmermann Toral.

I had to wait to post my draft rationale until Lucroy was chose.

I'm going to guess we're paused until noon. We're at 8.06 so it's Toral's turn heading towards the top of the draft. It'd be awesome if we could fly through a couple rounds this afternoon to catch up on lost time, but we're ahead of every draft so far.

My other league has just restarted up, so it may be they're being restarted one at a time.

Judy might need to do something to restart it.
I don't know where I am at queue wise.
Will try to go out and look at things after I get to work, but do have an early telcon, so might not be able to check for a bit.

I'll be unavailable for a few hours this morning so if it gets back to me quick I may not be able to post. I had a Q set, but those guys may be gone by now.

Yes, Judy needs to restart. All drafts were turned off when the server was brought back, so that clocks did not automatically time-out.

Everyone on my team is right, but I can't make changes to my line up right now. It says everyone is locked so I can move players from starters to bench.

99 and 100 fixed.

Anybody else? Will probably hit finalize button tonight.

Still need to set waiver wire. Order is reverse not of draft, but of draft picking order.

I see that a different Chris Carter is on gurudan's team. And the waiver order does not appear updated.

I fixed the waiver order. It is the opposite of post 11 and 12. See below.

I will double check. Too late for gurudan. I cannot fix that now. I will contact him and then ask managers not to waiver select him.

Random numbers have been run. Here is you order for the draft selection round.

Sun, Mar 08, 2015, 23:02 BTW, the reverse of this order should be used for waiver priorities to start the season. For example, Goatlocker will have the top waiver priority to start the season.

Argh when did ESPN finally add Odubel Herrera? I had been checking regularly and now see I missed him on waivers. For what it's worth Yahoo has had him in their system for a while.

Last year, pick #1 fielder goes down.

Now mccutcheon is dealing with potentially significant (missed 10 spring training games) knee issue.

No wonder I am last.

I've gotten at least one query to trade a closer to me, but despite my weak saves showing so far, I'm confident that Doolittle's return, Qualls' occasional saves thievery, and Betances will end up as the more-or-less full-time closer in NY. This should set me up for somewhere in the middle-of-the-pack on saves, at the end.

As for the rest of the team, it looks like the Bad News Bears. I don't know how long those hitters will keep it up, but I'm enjoying the ride so far.

Judy - I've found speculating on closers can be more important in these leagues than drafting closers.

Maybe next year Guru makes us a Saves + Holds league and opens up the pool of available contributors.

At least a Net Saves category (saves - blown saves) might make it more interesting.

Everything is so fluid underneath the #1 spot. It seems like I've been everywhere between #2 and #11 in the last 2 weeks.

Can we get everyone to swear an oath that if they make it to the bigs next year they will propose, advocate and connive for an addition of 2 DL slots? It's considerably less of a test of skill and more of luck if two top players go down and you can't even replace them without diluting your bench.

Well, this was truly unforeseen...1st place, will miracles never cease to exist?

My secret? 1st place in W & Sv, while last place in ERA...how you ask? 1st place in IP. The ERA and WHIP will improve, but the Ws may take a hit over time.

Gonna enjoy it while I have it. Prolly a one day wonder.

Congratulations to Da Bomb for running away from the field. And to maspero and Gramazins for bronze and silver and for zooming in September. It was a fun season -- especially until mid-September. No thanks to Anthony Rendon. Remind me to be wary of people who are out with "minor injuries" when I draft them.

Congrats to da bomb. He really ran away and hid from the rest of the field. I can't believe I couldn't get more than 1 win the last day of the season with the pitching performances my team had.

Thanks all. I started my draft a little differently by taking Kershaw and Scherzer with my first 2 picks which turned out well. Some timely pickups along the way and my team's health played a large role. Looking forward to RIBC next year.
