The invites have been sent out for Yahoo and Draftime. Please get registered asap at each site. Draft start time will be announced.
Good luck to all. Have fun, stay active, dig through the ditches and burn through the witches.

I wont tolerate any form of trash can banging, though.

One other thing - predraft be kind and make sure your yahoo name and your draftime name are obvious. After the draft it entered, I dont care what you change your name to in yahoo.

Hey all. A handful of you have emailed me saying you can't register with the link sent out by the system. Not sure exactly what is going on - some can, some can't. Those that cannot, try registering from your phone. Dave R sent me a message saying he couldn't register with his comp, but tried it on his phone and it worked.
If you try your phone or tablet and still have issues, let me know and I'll to send the invite a different way. But this initial invite was sent directly via Yahoo's invite tool.

Time to order draft slot choices. I need a starting point so I'll start with the way they are ordered on my screen in yahoo:
logo Khahan's Team
logo who is ksoze?
logo DAVID RICHARDS
logo Brent's Team
logo Morgan's Team
logo Tilt23 Mike
logo Arvala Blurrgs(Nerf)
logo Bean's Indians
logo Da Bomb Squad
logo Mighty Meatwads
logo gurudan
logo RocketRichard
logo s R Atmo
logo YWC's Team
logo Taxman's Team
logo Fred's Fabulous Team

I'll use the rng website to generate a list of numbers from 1-16, put that list in order as its generated next to our names and reorder us numerically to shuffle. I'll then do that a second time for the final order.

taxman's team
fred's fabulous team
s R
who is ksoze

Has anybody heard from ksoze at all? He did check in to yahoo and he got his team registered at draftime so he's been active.

At this point if we dont hear from him soon I think its best to assign him highest available and move on. Looking over a recent history of his drafts, he tends to like the highest available.

Had it made it my way on Sunday eve, I would have not noticed until Monday eve when I made my little queue. Still shaking off my spring training rust personally. Stoked for the draft!

The draft is in. I had to cross reference names on multiple sites because draftime names don't match guru handles dont match team names in Yahoo. Hope I got it right (99.9999% sure I did) but just in case please double check.

Also, after the draft selection process:
please use the queue system

There is no clock yet. We'll start the clock monday morning at 8 am EST. End picks do not get an 8 hour clock.
please use the queue system.

And if I haven't mentioned it yet, draftime has a great queue system. You can set up a general queue for all rounds. You can set a queue for specific picks. Please use the queue system once the clock starts.

Also keep in mind, nobody is under any obligation to start picking before the clock starts monday morning, so please dont harass people until then. Once we start, if you use queue's nobody will need to harass you.

I probably should've asked this before the draft started, but it's probably early enough to ask:

Ohtani - since this is Yahoo, he is two separate players. I'm assuming we also draft him as two separate players? Meaning the hitter and the pitcher can be on two separate teams?

36: well deserved.
I apologize. I had class this morning starting at 8am. Just didn't get fantasy baseball done properly. I did start my clock without resetting it before trying to make or even research my picks based on who was already taken, just to be fair. And of course ksoze snagged my pitcher right out from under me. But that's my own fault for losing track of what day it was.

Again, sorry for the delay everybody.

37 - Regarding Shohei Ohtani - he is handled as 1 single player. First person to draft him to gets rights to both sides.

And ksoze - yeah, but I only have myself to blame.

44 - So how does this work for rosters? You basically lose a roster spot. If you're using one (hitter), can you keep the other (pitcher) in FA if he's not currently playing?

<44> These three are in the player list at Draft Time:

Ohtani [[ OF ]], Shohei OF LAA
Ohtani [[ P ]], Shohei P LAA
Ohtani [[ P/OF ]], Shohei DH LAA

If you are going to have just one Ohtani, they tell you to remove the top two players.

How would the 2nd Ohtani spot work for Yahoo purposes?
Must keep both rostered?
Does the 2nd one slot in as our 25th round pick?
Lose rights to owning both if you decide to drop one of them?
Allowed to waive rights to both initially if you'd rather use the roster spot elsewhere?

He’s 2 different players in Yahoo vs 1 in ESPN, so I think he needs to be 2 in this league.
49Khahan

      Wed, Mar 11, 2020, 10:15
Draft Ohtani, either one. Essentially both are yours to keep. No need to roster them both but you'll have to plan. I'd recommend drafting the hitter. then days he's scheduled to pitch, drop the hitter and roster the pitcher.
It gives you both Ohtani's without taking 2 spots and most closely mirrors the 1-Ohtani leagues system.

If you see Ohtani on the FA list (say the hitter) just pull up the pitcher version to see if he's rostered. If one version is rostered, the other is not able to be claimed.
To avoid waiver problems with dropping the hitter for a pitcher for 1 day, just email me and I can adjust his waiver time so the owner can get him back.

yes, its a little bit of extra leg work on my part and the owner's part. But its the most logical solution for the 1 ohtani system.

      Wed, Mar 11, 2020, 11:02
Khahan,

If Ohtani is good this year, and the owner swaps him frequently this thing can go badly. We have a similar rule for prospects in the Poli League, where only one owner has rights to what Yahoo considers a FA.

The way we deal with it is to roster the prospects as Keepers pre-season. That puts a "K" next to their name, once you start the season. We drop the prospects then the commish manually adds the last few draftees.

Do people still pick up the prospects that dont belong to them? Sure, but the K makes them think about it first most times.
51Khahan
      ID: 551581418
      Wed, Mar 11, 2020, 11:51
I would love something like that. Unfortunately I cannot think of any way to do that in Yahoo. Since we are a redraft league and not a keeper league I do not have the option to mark a player as a keeper.
Relying on people to pay attention *coughIdidntjustsaythatcough* and a little bit of active handling seems like the best way to go to let Ohtani's owner maximize his potential.

BTW, Yahoo has recognized a couple other pitchers as both hitter and pitcher, Draft Time has not.

The others are likely not going to be drafted, they are prospects more or less. However, if they have good seasons this year, they may be picked up as FAs in this league. I assume you plan to handle them like Ohtani?

Please note: SHOHEI OHTANI HAS BEEN DRAFTED. I've eliminated his other iterations from draftime so it should not be an issue for the draft. But in season, he's taken as of now.

meat - in Yahoo I assigned you the hitter as the placeholder Ohtani. Assuming he'll get used first from what I'm reading. If you'd prefer the pitcher Ohtani start on your roster instead let me know. If you just want to keep both on your roster for some reason let me know and I'll simply assign pitcher ohtani to your round 24 slot. But its not necessary to do so.

I've adjusted the draft pauses. Per Guru, we are forging ahead with the 4 hour clock. But I've given a longer time period during the evenings and mornings with no clock to better accommodate sleep schedules for the different time zones we have represented.

Khahan - Thanks. I’m fine keeping the hitter on my roster. My expectation for the season is to have the hitter in my lineup every day, cut him to stream the pitcher, then pick the hitter back up for the following day. Early indications I’m reading is that he may end up pitching each Wednesday.

Thanks for the shoutout taxman! Syndergaard and Sale days before becoming worthless is impressive. I have a long, extensive hate relationship with pitchers. I decided it would be a good idea to do the opposite of what I normally do, load up on pitchers early. At this point I hope to have 3 healthy arms entering the season. I’ll be in the corner in fetal position if anyone needs me.

I was curious about the season settings. Guru has set RIBC to 60 games and 500 IP. Should we not be set at the same?

Did anyone else notice some wacky things with lineup info yesterday? Players were marked as not playing if they had no lineup data yet. Today noticed at least one player not marked at all, even tho if you click on the game, he's in the lineup.

(70). Yes. Use Yahoo for my office league and they had players marked out of lineup incorrectly. Using better sources to verify nowlike Rotowire lineups

No lineup markings at all right now, 20 minutes before gametime. Have to go through lineups one at a time. What a pain!

I guess no one else minds Ohtani (SP) was picked up by a team that doesn’t belong to him and he’s starting today.

I set Ohtani to FA so if Meatwads wants to use him he's available. Please note i'm on vacation this week in the Adirondacks. My reception and connection is spotty at best. if something comes up that needs my attention email me.
Just to be safe I've assigned Da Bomb as a co-commissioner (dont know if you want it, but you got it!) to help out during this week.

Nice catch Da Bomb.
Did you also happen to alert Ohtani so he could do the honourable thing and pitch an infinity? Likely coincidental. Jobu may have been involved...

Grats to Da Bomb! He ran away and hid the entire season it seemed.

Despite never having a chance to win, really, I'm very pleased with 3rd place. I had a decent drafted offense, but my pitching was suspect. I had to start streaming SP in August. My ERA and WHIP were so bad I was just going for volume, trying to max out IP, K, and W. Then everything started picking up for me in the last 10 days and I got into 3rd rather comfortably. This league has always been difficult for me to figure out - I feel like I have more bottom half finishes than top. A third place and a potential ticket to RIBC next year is certainly making today quite nice!

Fun season all. I had a good feeling coming out of the draft as once it became apparent a lengthy delay in the start of the season was likely I focused on several players who were injured at the time that were all healthy come the delayed opening day, but it turns out their contributions were pretty mixed: Stanton, Carrasco, Paxton, Rich Hill, Cespedes, Aaron Hicks. Fortunately Harper, Rendon, Whit, Yu, and Maeda were pretty good along with my closer cavalry + FA help in Dom Smith and Kyle Lewis.
