Welcome!
I see that a bunch of the usual suspects have been rounded up for RIBC 2018 on ESPN:
AA-ESPN (Toral, commish) C1-NRB Electroman GoatLocker IAC jaydog Nerfherders Perm Dude Taxman Toral Wiggs Ywk [5 open spots]
Invitations have been sent out. Draftime invitations will follow in due course. |

Those of you who are eagle-eyed will notice that there is a mistake in the league settings. Setting up, I typed "166" instead of "162" for the Max Games Played setting. I have tried to correct this at least 15 times unsuccessfully. I tried before the league was actually created, and after. If you look at "Recent League Activity" you will see 4 entries for "Roster Settings Updated" -- all unsuccessful. I even abandoned the first league set-up and started again -- no dice. ESPN is determined that any league I set up have a max of 166 games played.
I will attempt to figure out a way to fix this or deal with it somehow.

You will receive 2 invitations from ESPN. The first will take you to a deleted league. Ignore it. The second, the good one, will take you to a real league.
Sorry for the confusion.

Guess I am brain dead. I got invite, but I'm doing something wrong I guess. I see where I am team 4, but how do I claim the team.

You *were* team 4, I imagine, on a league which I deleted, because...never mind, you don't want to know.
Look for a newer e-mail invite, and accept that. Or I'll just send you an invite if you want.

We have only 2 spots left. My inclination is to fill those spots with 2 of the volunteers whose names Guru has provided me with early on Sunday evening. Guru will provide us with an order for picking draft slots and we will start picking draft slots very soon thereafter, think late Sunday evening or Monday morning.

OK, we can get under way. We are picking draft slots.
Please post your selection in this thread. I will show how to include a list of the remaining owners once someone has picked -- easier to show than tell.
Take note that I use a 24-Hour Rule. If you haven't made your pick 24 hours after the previous pick, I will assign you the highest draft slot (i.e., the lowest numbered slot). If when you show up, you don't like your slot, I think it is highly likely that you will be able to trade it for a lower slot held by someone else. The 24-hour rule does not go into effect until the first pick made on Monday morning.
PermDude is up.

Now we can start to think about when the draft starts.
RIBC is thinking about starting March 11-12. There is a tradition whereby the bush leagues start first. I don't think we will need much, if any, more time than they do. They took almost twice as long to pick their draft slots.
Saturday, March 10 or Sunday, March 11, which would you prefer?
The first round will be untimed, in any case.
|
45 | Bean
ID: 304422310 Tue, Mar 06, 2018, 14:22

If its untimed, might as well do the earlier one. If someone don't like it, they just drag their feet.
|
46 | GoatLocker
ID: 361242417 Tue, Mar 06, 2018, 14:46

Doesn't really matter to me, but would say earlier is better. Will be driving back to California from Las Vegas, but not sure when the date will be.

Wow, 15th slot. I'll gladly take that. If I miss out on the first 3-4 picks I tend to look at 15 or 16 anyway. Figured w/ the last slot I'd get stuck around 11 or 12.

I think we should start Saturday. Pd picks 16 anyways so chances are we don’t get to him til Sunday. If we do we can wait for him.

52 | Toral
ID: 0181517 Wed, Mar 07, 2018, 09:53

I am going to start the draft Saturday morning. EARLY Saturday morning so ywk can queue before bedtime. We can wait for PD to pick on Sunday. We won't start the clock until Monday. This seems to be pretty much in line with what the other minor leagues are doing.
|
53 | Perm Dude
ID: 4724156 Wed, Mar 07, 2018, 12:46

If I get the time during the conference to research I will work on my queue so there is no slowdown.

54 | Toral

No clock today.
We won't be able to get into the second round today with PD unavailable but we should be able to get right up to him, I hope.
You should set your Designated Pickers.

Just a reminder to all.
Since we are started now... we can setup our queue's if we so wish.
I got a small one built for my 1st Rounder... although I'll likely be around.

57 | Toral
ID: 0181517 Sat, Mar 10, 2018, 13:12

This isn't going as planned.
I had specifically asked ywk if he would be able to queue in the evening if the draft started early Saturday and he said Yes. So I got up at 5 A.M. to start the draft.
I don't know what happened but the time difference is 13 hours so we may be waiting for awhile.
Hopefully we can make it up later in the day and get where we want to be by the end of it.

If Pete doesn't pick before I go to church, I may not be able to leave an autoqueue and so would have to wait until after church to pick, for reasons I will tell you in the rationales.
Speaking of rationales...at the AA level, they are purely voluntary. I prefer to set them up as wolfer did here; 5 rounds at a time, for readability. So the rationale thread will not be set up until round 7, and you might want to compose your rationales soon after you make your pick and save them up until the time comes.

I honestly did not think this would get back to me on the weekend. I have no cheatsheets or anything with me at home. If it's okay, I'll make my pick first thing when I get to work, which will be roughly 11am EDT. Sorry for the delay.

What is the official stance on when the clock is going active? I thought it was off for the first round only? Or was it until Monday? I'm sorry, I not sure if it was clear?

For reference... Guru suggested 2nd round the clock starts:
http://rotoguru1.com/cgi-bin/read.pl?board=base&thread=20455&last=1520789652
Mind you... they started today.
Also reminder... if we are forced to wait 12+ hours... wouldn't be a bad time to set a queue if you are within the next 3 or so picks.

64 IAC: Monday morning. See post 52.
Minor leagues are not required to follow the RIBC in clock matters, although as it happens the draft pause I am imposing, at least to start, is the same as RIBC's, so we will have the same clock, at least to start.

The draft is now paused.
My attempt to set the draft time with a draft pause caused Draftime to burp and skip Nerfherder's and ywk's picks. Nerf will have to state who he wants to pick here or e-mail me. ywk then will have to do the same, or instruct me to override him and use his queue even though it is unavailable at the moment.

Do we know when it is getting turned back on. I'm heading back to the California house in the next two hours or so. Was going to set a queue, but can't until it is back available.

Goatlocker: I need to hear from Nerf and ywk with picks before the draft can resume.
Alternatively, you can let me know here or by e-mail that you are ready to set a queue IMMEDIATELY, I can resume the draft long enuf for you to set a queue and then shut it down wagain.

If you turn it on now, I can get in and set the queue. Issue is I will be on the road anywhere from 4 1/2 to 6 hours. Starting about 2 hours from now. I can set a big enough queue to cover next two rounds.

Is there any way for us to add players as we go? I'm not too familiar with espn but I know in G20 once we pick up a player we can manually add him to our rosters. It would make tracking and my own organization much easier.

89 Khahan: I am following the practice of RIBC ESPN leagues whereby the online draft is entered at the end. On RIBC, players don't disappear from the available lists after being picked.
ESPN's Help states "When you begin the process of entering the draft picks, the league converts into Draft Mode and when that happens several of the league settings lock until you finish entering all the results into the system." I don't want that to happen now.
I don't think that entering online draft results piecemeal even removes them from the available player pool, but I am willing to be corrected on that.

So do we have anything anywhere that shows players taken and available players? Or if our queues get eaten up do we just have to sort thru the whole list and figure out who is available by looking up every single player?

We are doing well timewise, although AAA-Yahoo! has been gaining on us.
Is there anyone who wants or needs a 6-hour clock on Saturday and Sunday? This is a busy weekend for auction and in-person drafts. Happier to be able to reward for good behaviour than having to penalize slowpokes.

Since the two managers behind Pete were autoqueued, I skipped Pete N. because he has a missed pick outstanding, as RIBC clock rules allow. However I am going to stop and give him some time before I make my pick.
Oops -- Goatlocker might like that one (Jorge Polanco) back. So I will take suggestions from the players -- since my skipping of Pete N. was discretionary and I didn't havt to do it, should I cancel these two picks and let Goatlocker repick? Ordinarily, we wouldn't of course.
Something to mull over while I catch up on my lists and then get some well-deserved coffee and breakfast.

We have been making excellent time and are maintaining our lead of roughly half a round over AA. Thank you all for your cooperation!
If the draft ends with someone having missed a pick, that manager will need to use waivers or free agency to pick a player.
We should finish today, or maybe early tomorrow. A draft recap thread will be started shortly thereafter. Draft results should be entered tomorrow. As I will remind you again when the results are entered, if you see a mistake, don't pick up the player yourself; notify me and I will make the change.

This new 10 day DL is killing my bench. I currently have 5 injured players, none of whom can be dropped, so if anyone has any bench spots available to stash someone, I'd love to make a trade. JT Realmuto, Anthony Rendon, Johnny Cueto, Madison Bumgarner, and Adam Eaton are all available for a healthy contributor.

As good as my team has been for the first quarter of the season, it's now starting to rip apart at the seams. My first round pick is replacement level, I lost my 2nd round pick for the season, my 3rd round pick for 8 weeks, and 2 other players are currently on the DL. My SLG has dropped 40 points in the last 2 weeks.
That's baseball, I guess?

118 | Toral
ID: 0181517 Wed, May 16, 2018, 19:15

Yeah, well. As a former Cano owner, I sympathize.
I'm in a league in which I've had 6 players on the DL at one time (1 DL slot). Its commissioner has been burned by injuries too so he proposed increasing the DL slots to 3 (next year) and it passed unanimously.
|

ID: 33543714 Thu, May 17, 2018, 11:40

The thing I find funny is more teams are apt to use the 10 day DL, but the most common phrase in the DL player's comment box is, "(Player X) will not be activated when he is due to come off the DL, as previously hoped." It's extremely rare so far for a player to actually be activated before the old 15 day window.

If we were more enlightened we would have DL spots. For some reason we feel the need to punish a manager whose guy get s injured, by making him drop the guy or sacrifice counting stats.
Its worse in many keeper leagues that may only have one or two DL spots.

"Its always been this way"
The lack of DL has always been one of the challenges of managing in ribc. But it does introduce a HUGE luck factor into the equation - which isn't good. Talking about here, though, wont do much. Best suggestion I have is to either email Guru directly or next season in the pre-season raise the point and ask for a vote. We had some pretty big changes like Holds+saves discussed this way in the past. I have a feeling adding 1 or 2 dl spots would pass pretty easily.

So, at this point my 2nd (out for the year), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 11th, 12th and 13th picks are on the DL. If you wondered why you've seen me drop in the standings, there you go.

Re DL slots:
next season in the pre-season raise the point and ask for a vote
I think that's the ticket. Maybe go right to the RIBC thread at the end of the season (whether you're going there or not) and state that you would like to bring up the issue in 2019. You might catch him in a good mood if things keep up since he's currently leading RIBC by 23 points despite having made only 14 moves, with some managers having made 8x or 10x that many. (RIBC has been wild with 8 managers oscillating between the 7th and 14th spots -- 7th being, I think, the last slot that stays in RIBC, if Guru makes top 6, as he will).

126 | Toral
ID: 9541311 Tue, Jul 03, 2018, 17:48

Just a reminder at the halfway point:
Ordinarily only one person from AA advances directly to RIBC next year. My first-place standing doesn't count -- I'm already there and finishing first here won't help me stay.
It's been a hot race for first this year (excluding me). You never know -- gradually our ranks are thinning, and maybe the top two could go straight up to RIBC next year.
Best of luck in the second half. And don't give up -- that is the cardinal sin.

I have nearly all my players back. There was some really fine play from many of those FA guys I had to use, two of which I still have - Profar and Gorkys.
There was one year I came in second in AA to a replacement manager and I didnt get booted to RIBC, but that was when we had two AA leagues, so who knows?

Grats to CHIOU!
I had my chances. I was clearly the best team in the first 6 weeks of the year until injuries hit. At one point every bench spot had a DL player on it, and I had already lost my 2nd round pick for the season. I was just trying to get through that. Once I got everyone back I started climb back up the standings, but my offense faded in those last 15 days or so and that ended up being the difference at the end. But overall, my pitching failed me, particularly my bullpen. Familia getting traded didn't help, but Cody Allen was inexplicably bad all year, and most of my other reliever pickups were terrible as I was chasing saves all season. There's no excuse for having a 1.30+ WHIP in this league.
