0 Subject: Jeepers Keepers '10-11

Posted by: Great One
- [198353014] Mon, Oct 04, 2010, 14:40

Tree sent out the emails for Jeepers Keepers 2011-12.
Now that baseball is done with, I just wanted to get a thread up and rolling... what are the plans for draft dates?
Season starts 3 weeks from tomorrow night.

amen. beat me to the punch.

this evening i'll see who's missing, and reach out to them.

i need to see if hoops allows us to do a live draft, with keepers, much like football. if so, i'd love to go that route, to just try and knock it out in a couple hours.

I'd be all for the live draft including the keepers. I am fairly certain you can pre-enter keepers just like we did for F101 football.

If you can't enter keepers on Yahoo we can always just use the first few rounds to draft the keepers and then keep going. Either way a live draft would be great but we'd need to schedule that soon if we want to get a desirable (non-work) time.

If there is a live draft ... I may end up auto-drafting. My life is tough to schedule right now.

But the following times I am definitely unavailable.

MWF - 8am - 4:30pm Pacific
TTh - 8am - 6:30pm Pacific

W/F (the 13th & 15th) - 8am - 7pm Pacific

Sat/Sun (the 16th/17th) - 7am - 6:30pm Pacific

Tosh, if people are ok with drafting at like 8pm est we could do it on a Monday night. I'm on the West Coast too so an 8pm est time would be good for me as well.

off the top of my head, monday nights are likely the best for me.

i play kickball on Tuesday.
i skate with a bunch of a roller derby girls on Wednesday.
i go to "thursday practice" with the derby girls on thursday, which means i drink with them.

I am a swim coach for the 8-11 year-olds on our local team. So if I'm not at my regular job 8-4 M-F, I'm either at swim practice, or at a meet.

Not quite as much fun as ... drinking with the derby girls.

Probably should have everyone start planning their keepers.

You can find your roster here

Every manager keeps 5 players from the previous year. Draft order is the reverse order of the standings and is a normal draft (no snake).

Draft Order:
1. Dilligad
2. Farn
3. Punk
4. Species
5. wiggs
6. KnicksFan
7. DaBomb
8. Tosh
9. Great One
10. Tree

lol. i loved that movie, and i love Ellen Page.

no, derby is not quite like that. if you punch someone, you'll be tossed from the game, and likely get suspended. likewise, you can't (legally) throw elbows, nor can you hit someone above the shoulders.

it's huge here. Austin and Dallas are two of the top teams in the country, and Austin (along with teams from NYC, Philly, Portland, and Denver (oddly, Denver has TWO teams that are natioanlly ranked)) is a likely contender for National Champion.

Derby is pretty huge.

I texted wiggs and he said he had let Tree know he wasn't going to come back for another season so we'd need a replacement.

Do we have a replacement possibility? Or do we want to see what Species/Punk do and consider contraction?

Remember this will be a really quick one cause we've already got like half a team each. Tree/Farn is 8 PM EST too early for the west coast folks?

Cause I'm pretty sure we'll be done in an hour, then I'd be all good.

We could always go the slow draft route with Kafenatid or something. It would probably take about 2 days max with 5 keepers already put in.

I'm not sure Tree, who else is on the West Coast? thats why I asked Farn/Tree above cause i know you are not EST.

I'd have to go 10 since I can't make the 9. And I will bump my other one back to 8 PM.

PD would be fine with me, he's always an active manager.

If you can stick with that 10 PM EST that would be perfect. I moved my other draft to 8 PM (Farn is in that league now too, and we could use one more by the way).
So our draft shouldn't take more than 90 minutes.

Looking to make some moves with this team. I've got 8 guys to consider as potential keepers (the rest probably have some value to someone, I suppose, but not as a keeper). You want to lock one of these guys up lemme know. The guys with an asterisk can be had as well, but the price is likely higher.

i also have a TON of people who i would move. my roster is this:

Kevin Durant
Danny Granger
Pau Gasol
Steve Nash
Al Horford
Carlos Boozer
Mo Williams
Paul Millsap
O.J. Mayo
Al Harrington
James Harden
Brendan Haywood
Serge Ibaka
Jarrett Jack
Shaun Livingston
J.R. Smith
Earl Watson

that's 10 guys in the top 100 on the Big Board, and SEVEN in the top 50. 10 guys also with an ADP in the first 98 picks.

Mayo and Harden are two guys that could be building blocks for a franchise in our league needing to re-build, and could be had as a nice package deal.

I'm not going to have to go out west luckily but I'll be about 30 mins late to the draft.

Hmmm. Can we move the draft a half hour, tree?

I see all the keepers are still available in the pre-draft rankings list. Are keepers still to be assigned to teams? How do those names get pulled off the draft list?

i havent had a chance to put the keepers in. call it Rangers Euphoria.

even so, i don't think they actually come off the list until RIGHT before the draft. i had this problem in football too.

move the draft a half hour..later? earlier?

Punk says he'll be about 30 minutes late, so moving it later will be better.

moved it. i know that makes it pretty late for east coasters, but honestly, i see this being a pretty quick draft.

Heck with the east coasters. I need all the advantage I can get.

I'd like to encourage all east coasters to skip the draft and get to bed early. :)

keepers have been input, and the one trade involving draft picks has been put in as well.

please go to:
Draft Central>Draft Results

and check your team. make sure i got your keepers correct.

thanks!

Mine look good. They are still listed in the available players in the draft pre-rankings, but that must be a yahoo thing.
