I'm registered in both AA leagues at ESPN. One as Gurudan, one as Fear The Monkey. I hope I'm posed to have two teams??? I told Dave I'd manage a second!!

gurudan - yes.

Meanwhile, another new manager has come forward - a friend of IAC. I have sent his email address to wolfer, and suggested that blue hen be bumped from a duplicate team in this league.

<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. If you are going to have two Ohtani's they tell you to remove the bottom one.

Quiet board, figured I would Post thoughts. Thus far (knocking on all of the wood I see) It has been a good draft. Some flexibility in the plan was needed combined with that Harper tease made it entertaining, but nothing overly crazy to make me feel like I botched my plan/projections. Wolfer did the closest thing to sniping me (even though calling 4 picks away a snipe is stretching the narrative a bit)with the last Workman Pick so a tip of the hat to that pick.

Hope you guys are enjoying as well.

Uh, gurudan just drafted Shohei Ohtani [[OF]], but I was under the impression we were drafting him as 1 player (as I did when I drafted Shohei Ohtani [[ P/OF ]] 69th). Issue?

no problem. I thought he was a separate entity. If you drafted him as SP, you could only use him when pitching. To use him in the field, you'd need to draft him a second time. If I need to change him out, no problem.

That really sucks. Based on posts #73 & #74, I was under the impression that our ESPN draft had only one Ohtani, and that I got him as a pitcher and fielder (but would only collect stats on one, based on where I placed him that day). That's why I drafted him so high.

Even though Yahoo doesn't support him as a single player, the Yahoo AAA league is treating the hitter and pitcher as a single player. The commish, Khahan, is doing this to remain consistent with Guru's direction.

Probably shouldn't pick until this is straightened out. Time isn't an issue.

Reviewing posts the Main League seems to rule on it as "however the platform has it is how it is" for ESPN means 1 player. I read what they're doing in AAA yahoo as well and its a creative solution but seemingly annoying to monitor.

even If we were ok having him as a double, if ESPN doesn't let us split him to two different teams there is only one real way forward.

The real issue is that the commish needs to rule on this and until he does we should not be drafting. That said, wolfer just made his pick.

I'm completely jinxed with my #1 starting pitcher. Think this is third year in a row I've lost them before May to injury.

rosters are entered. However, per orders from Guru, I will not hit the finished draft button until we get closer to whenever the start of the season is. Please check rosters if you can and I will do a recap tomorrow night.

Commish needs to change the Games Played/Innings Pitched limits.

From RIBC thread:

"GP limits should be proportionately reduced from 162 to 60.
IP limits should be proportionately reduced from 1350 to 500."

I reactivated the program that checks your roster for today's starting lineup, showing opposing starter info, as well as some other useful info.

http://dailybaseballdata.com/cgi-bin/rosterCheck.pl

Starting lineup data is based on my data supplier feed, which often updates earlier than ESPN does.

This works for all three of the RIBC ESPN leagues.

I went to bed last night and it appeared Meatwads had won by a few points. It was late and I thought ESPN was up to date from "My Team" page standings. Guess not. Does my concession speech negate the final standings? Sorry Meatwads.

My first ever Rotoguru championship in any sport....I'll take it. Even if I don't qualify for the Major RIBC league next year.

Good job, Bean.

I don't know how, but I somehow climbed out of the cellar on the last day. Considering how my season went, I'll take it.

<118> Guess after Guru adjusted the final standings you won after all Meatwads. Had something to do with Pythagorean Theorem, Descartes rule of signs, Fourier Transforms and Gaussian curves I think.

Well I was the champ for a couple months anyway. Its still all a mystery to me.
