Keepers for 2012

[TruffleShuffle]

looks like we have 11/16 done, and two teams just have minor issues to be addressed. who is tootielicious? he still needs to post his team.

[Guest]

Tootie is Don. There never really has been a requirement to post rosters, but Don has been known to do it in the past. If he's legal, that's good enough.

 

I heard back from Juan. He says he should have more time this year and will get right on it.

[TruffleShuffle]

ok. from what i can figure with tootielicious:

 

adam dunn (212.75)

mike moustakas (exempt)

ryan braun (612.75)

curtis granderson (631.75)

a-rod (317.0)

desmond jennings (exempt)

mitch moreland (exempt)

madison bumgarner (exempt)

clay buchholz (195.0)

vance worley (exempt)

alex white (exempt)

 

total: 1969.25

 

he's fine on his total points, but he has 11 players that are not minor league eligible any more. alex white appears to be the problem - he still has white in the minors, but he made 10 starts last year. i'll add don's team to the "submitted with issues" pile.

Outstanding work, by the way. We've always been on the police ourselves policy, but it's nice to have someone taking the time to look at all the teams. The Shelby Miller thing was interesting. Oddly enough, I can't grasp why Shane would have a fictitious Shelby Miller on his roster unless we were all oblivious at the time to someone already having a fictitious Shelby Miller and a second one created for Shane. They only get created when there isn't anyone by that name in the database. Whoever drafted the original Shelby Miller would have had a fictitious name generated for him and then replace the fake with the real one when he was added. All owners were also encouraged to replace the fake one with the real one as soon as the real one was added to the database.

 

This is just a weird one. What year was Miller taken in the June draft? Maybe we can scour the old prospect draft threads. Also, I think only people with commish powers can create fictitious names, so either Juan or I created this player for Shane at some point, apparently.

[Guest]

Miller was taken in the 2009 draft by the Cardinals. His first time eligible for the prospect draft would have been 2010.

 

Is it possible that Miller was drafted, but not signed in a previous draft?

you can thank the perth bureau of meteorology for not giving me enough work to do during my 9.5 hour shift. :lol:

 

it is probably best that someone checks over the teams because it's easy to miss something, like a player getting enough at bats or starts to lose minor league eligibility. like ron washington's dealers having two players with exactly ten starts last year.

It's pretty easy to overlook something like that. Especially the September call ups for those teams that were already out of the playoff hunt. What doesn't help is that they don't list last year's points on the team screen.

[TruffleShuffle]

i have messaged deven, don and karen as their rosters have minor issues that need to be addressed before they're legal, and i'm not sure if they will check this thread.

 

once they fix their rosters, we only have jeff (who still has several days since he joined the league late) and juan (who said he will set his roster soon). should be able to get the ball rolling with the draft in early march, i would think.

[TruffleShuffle]

side notes:

 

-i was shocked to discover that kyle blanks is STILL minor league eligible. he's had fewer than 200 major league ABs in each of the last three years. but he's also had more than 50 in each of those years. let's see if he manages to lose his exempt status while still maintaining minor league eligibility. that would be quite an accomplishment.

 

-my team's name has been changed to Scioscia's Tragic Illness.

[tadowdaddy]

Thanks for double checking, and yes, I did overlook Alex White. Dropped Moreland, so here's my team. I'm kind of happy I got to keep White. Just a reminder to everyone that players are minor league eligible up to 200 ab's or 10 starts (this is when they start to lose exemptions).

Done.

[Tracer Bullet]

Mine is pretty close. I'm working on a couple of trades but have trimmed most of the fat (which was a lot of fat).

Sent you a PM. Make sure you read it before accepting any trades. I don't think anyone in this league is the type to take advantage of the newby, but some definitely make better offers than others.

[Tracer Bullet]

Yeah thanks. I'm not new to fantasy baseball just this somewhat unusual league. So I wouldn't trade, say, a first rounder for a player another team was going to drop anyway...

[abuck1220]

then you're like five years ahead of the curve.

[Guest]

I'm done I think - I didn't have time to check all my minor leaguers though so I will get back to it later today.

[Tracer Bullet]

Revised and final:

 

Shields 786.5

CJ Wilson 645

Jimenez 360

Morales 000

Moreland: Exempt

Davis: Exempt

Leake: Exempt

Norris: Exempt

Collmenter: Exempt

Venters: Exempt

[TruffleShuffle]

juan hasn't posted here but his team appears to be legal:

 

c c. santana (exempt)

1b p. fielder (595.5)

ss e. andrus (exempt)

lf t. colvin (exempt; also lol)

sp d. haren (674.5)

sp m. scherzer (376.0)

rp j. walden (exempt)

rp s. marshall (269.5)

 

total: 1915.5

[TruffleShuffle]

with that all but one team has a legal keeper roster. karen is over the 2000 point limit because she erroneously counted colby lewis as exempt. i sent her a message on CBS about 3 days ago.

[Tracer Bullet]

I have one more move possible, but it won't affect my point total. Should be final very soon.

[TruffleShuffle]

we've done a pretty good job of keeping elite hitters and pitchers out of the draft... better than previous years, it seems. if the first overall pick wasn't a no-brainer before it really seems like it now.

[roadster]

Clarification from anyone who knows:

 

Once the draft starts, players can be traded without regards to points and/or number of keepers, right?

[Tracer Bullet]

As revised in my post above, my team is done.

[Quakers]

Clarification from anyone who knows:

True. The commish will certify that alll line-ups are legit and then trading can commence.

[bukie]

According to my calculated projection aggregate (based on reading the keeper names in this thread), the top 31 and 44 of the top 48 projected players are kept.

 

EDIT: Also, Ryan Braun just won his appeal, so keeping him looks as if it'll pay off.
