I didn't receive either but my hotmail address seems to have some phantom filter issues that I can't figure out. Been gradually converting to alternate, so if you could try to send to: rocketrichard83@gmail.com instead would be appreciated.

I sent one e-mail that had the yahoo invite, the draft time invite and a link to this thread.

Since then I have replied to people that sent me an e-mail retransmitting the original e-mail. I have also sent the yahoo invite directly to the four who have not yet signed up for Yahoo.

For those who no longer have the original invite, and still need to get into draft time, use this link.

Just a heads up. So far everyone is signed up for Yahoo and Draft Time except Jasonprof. I am going to give him a couple more days, he is historically slow on the uptake, but is reliable during the draft. So, I am hopeful he is doing well and will join us soon.

Meanwhile, if you have a friend who might want his spot should he become a no show, please have him/her contact me at the blue link.

All of you except Sandorkiss knows the drill, when it's your turn choose where you want to draft in our snake draft. Being last, Sandorkiss is just gettting what's left apparently, so I don't need to explain fyrther. artofMonk is up first.

They have been having a discussion in the RIBC top league concerning additional roster spots to accomodate COVID protocols. Here's what Guru posted this morning:

So I think the best consensus choice is to add one bench and one IL. We will proceed on that basis. Remember that the extra bench slot will not be drafted.

We will implement the same rule.

Some additional Guidance Guru sent me:

After polling all of the managers in my league, I have decided to add one bench slot and one IL slot. The following caveats apply:

1. The extra bench slot will not be drafted. It can be filled by post-draft waivers or F/A pickup.

2. Managers cannot add a player to the IL if that player was already on the IL when added to the roster. The exception is that any drafted player is eligible for the IL, even if they were injured when drafted.

I know that item 2 cannot be automatically enforced by the host system, so it will need to be self policed. All managers should act honorably, and if an infraction is noticed by anyone, it should be reported to the commish for an appropriate remedy (drop the player, or add back to the active roster).

I will open the draft up on 10 MAR after I have had my morning coffee, so about 10 AM EST. There will be no clock until the 12 MAR at 8 AM EST, after which there will be a four hour clock. I hope we can keep at four hours, but if we start to fall behind pace too much I will adjust. The clock will pause daily from midnight to 8 AM EST.

Draft has started with no clock. If you find an error with the set up let me know.

Re-read the paragraph at the bottom of <37> so you are familiar with the plan for the clock.

Remember, the "no clock" is not so you can drag things out, its there to give everyone a chance to notify me of issues, get their queues set, realize their daily routine is about to change etc.

I know tradition is to leave first round as untimed, but if we haven't finished the first round in 2 days, we need to start using a clock. Setting a specific time for when the clock will start is more predictable.

Good Luck

I am wondering if anyone is up for trading picks at this stage of the draft. I don't think we are set up to actually trade the picks, but have an agreement and draft each other players.

Draft is over and all of your players should be on your rosters at Yahoo now. Let me know if you find any mistakes. All undrafted players are on waiver until 26 MAR. Waiver priority is set to reverse of draft order SELECTION ORDER.

You are entitled to add one player to your roster still, and will have one IL spot too. Make a waiver claim or wait to claim a free agent on 26 MAR. Your choice.

For Filty Rich we have two issues. First, he drafted Jimmy Nelson who Yahoo does not have in their database yet. I have given him Shin Soo Choo as a place holder. If he drops Choo before Nelson is available, he loses rights to Nelson. Rich also failed to make his pick at 24.15 before the draft ended. I'll allow him to e-mail his pick for that draft slot, but he must have it to me by tomorrow morning.

GO Summary
1. What was your plan/strategy entering the draft? Were you able to execute as you had planned?

So... the 5th pick. Never in my life had I had Trout and I had the chance. But I decided to try something really outside the box because of how I felt last year when I couldn't find any pitching or speed or saves. But I felt I was ok finding average hitters to plug in.
So how about the pitching and speed team?! Baseball Stars on NES had a team like this. I can't remember which. May have been the ninja squad... going to investigate and potentially change my team name.

So then after Degrom, my goal was 100 SB's in my pocket before I did much else.
Enter the HIGHLY volatile pick of Mondesi at #28 overall. Early... YES. Fits what I was doing... YES.
Tucker and Biggio (good OBP, flex) both will chip in up to 20 bags and I'm already at my 100 SBs.
I kept adding speed late too (Straw and guys who will chip in 10 bags like Benintendi)
So then I went over to pitching for a while... and then started the hitters after pick 100.
Once I get to about 100 SBs... (All Star Break?! :) I'll likely be selling Mondesi.

2. What were your favorite picks? What picks would you like to do over?
Loved getting Degrom. I have NEVER gotten a pitcher in the first round. Of any league. Ever.
So my best values...
Andrew Vaughn in the 10th? Actually this whole stretch from 10th-16th I feel like I cleaned up while others were taking sketchy pitchers i was taking upside bats (as I already picked pitchers early) -- so Vaughn, Carlos, Lux, Benintendi, Carlson all very happy with.
Carlos Santana always criminally underrated, perfect for this format. Rotowire had him as a top 50 guy in this scoring format and i got him at #165.
Hoskins similarly is a slug, but an OBP dude and I've got the speed stuff covered already.

Do Over - If I knew I'd get closers late (Bard, Kennedy potentially) I'd have waited a bit on Hendriks and taken an OF there.
Maybe taking a competent starting catcher? Going to be an adventure lol..
3-4 of my main hitters are all in Kansas City! So... that might require a reshuffle.

3. Looking over all of the teams, which ones do you like the most (other than your own)?
ksoze probably my favorite squad, i mean i'm always drawn to Bryce Harper led anything, but Ke'Bryan seems like major upside and then Mountcastle not long after. Like the young batters who will only get better paired with veteran pitchers.

brentkite picked a team like I normally do... SS early. Then some pitching and 5 tool OF (like Marte)
4. What surprised you most about the draft?
SP's and closers weren't going quite like I though, so I could have probably slipped in another hitter or two before pivoting.

5. If you could start the whole thing over, would you do anything differently?
I left myself short startable OF... which was my main problem right when this thing finished.
HOWEVER.... sometimes you get lucky.
And Eloy goes down (Vaughn) and Witt might be called up and BOTH looking adding OF eligibility very quickly.

Bean Summary

1. What was your plan/strategy entering the draft?
Were you able to execute as you had planned?

I always like to draft in the middle, that way I am less likely to be compelled to reach to fill specific positions. So, that was a success, especially when Trea Turner fell to me at 1.09. I find in RIBC leagues, MI is always a bit of a race, because inevitably finding a fourth everyday MI is nearly impossible in rounds 20+. We simply don't have the roster room to tolerate a platoon guy at any spot.
I like to balance between hitting and pitching in early rounds, later its about finding guys that I believe are better than their Yahoo rating and hopefully grabbing them ahead of other like minded managers. Analyzing, I'd say I did what I set out to do, ask me again at the end of the season.

2. What were your favorite picks? What picks would you like to do over?
Trea Turner at 1.09 was definitely my favorite. At 15.09 I selected Austin Nola whose position flexibility was key. He is already on the IL, so wished I had not taken him. Other than Nola, I think I overpaid for Gregorious at 9.09, but felt if I waited much longer to grab another MI, I would regret it.

3. Looking over all of the teams, which ones do you like the most (other than your own)?
Uptown Bombers looks good, but I didn't spend much time analyzing it, nor do I think that analysis has much value. Ask me after we see how many top 10 round guys show up on the IL for each team. You lose your top picks to injury, and the whole "prediction" goes to $hit in a hurry.

4. What surprised you most about the draft?
Nothing really. Except maybe Trea Turner at 1.09.

5. If you could start the whole thing over, would you do anything differently?
I hope I don't come to regret taking Arozarena at 4.08. Probably my biggest dice roll early in the draft, he is the most likely disappointment, and his ceiling is probably where I drafted him. His floor might be 10th round.

How far down the RIBC AAA do they pull up to the big leagues? Just the winner or first couple?

Historically its top 3, can go down further if one or more opt out. Moot point though, since this is the last year, unless someone takes over the RIBC, like I did with RIHC.

Looking over the draft results, and I understand why I am in last. One thing that impressed my was the top 3 picks by C1-NRB, Tatis, Albies and Guerrero. In terms of hitters, hard to beat.

Thanks guys. Fight to the end. In fact, I thought it was over for me a week ago.

Injuries is always key to these things and I was fairly fortunate this year.

Maybe someone will step up to take over the RIBC next year. If not, nice to end this thing with a win.
