Tracer Bullet

we're just going to have to pull the plug on this draft on Friday so everyone has their rosters set by the end of the day on April 2. I'll leave it to others whether that means we wait for Tim or let him pick when he's able to devote the time to it. I may not even use any more picks in this draft so I don't care as long as it ends by the 1st.

who do I kill for making the background of the RK page orange?

about 4 more hours

Thought Swanson might actually fall to me. Hate to take a SP so far away but he's the next Pedro and this league will surely be around in 2-3 years, right?

why did we decide waivers needed to start right away and then give people about 10 hours' notice? and now prospects are being added thru waivers during the prospect draft?

regular roster spot. wastes one of your 3 bench positions.

16 starters; 3 reserves; 3 DL spots; 10 prospects. Rosters must be legal by April 2.

Can we wait the last few picks until the other draft is done?

I changed it to 6 bench spots for now

sneaky - we're going to trade your next pick to rodelo so he can draft a makeup pick for kepler. since you're done, that shouldn't matter but fyi for when you see the trade go through

It won't skip you if you're full. But I'll skip the rest of your picks. As a reminder, you can go over the roster limits during the draft. There will be a final roster deadline probably a day or two before the season starts. If your roster is illegal after the season begins, you start losing points. Also, don't rely on CBS for the illegal roster warning. Bc the system sucks, we have to rely on ourselves. You get 19 total active major league players, 3 DL spots, and 10 prospects.

Round 8 is almost over. If you're done drafting, let us know so we can skip your pick. I'll probably only give folks 12 hours per slot so we can move on to the prospect draft. If you care about any of these last couple rounds, I hope you're actually paying attention to the draft and checking in.

seems responsive to me. We always go 10 rounds. People can just not make picks if they don't want them.

Why do you say that? I think we're just waiting for raw, right?

least it wouldn't eat up a dl spot. think about it

I got an auto pick team. It was fine. Then today I got an email saying I got booted. Then I think I got back in but I haven't logged in yet. Will you trade me kyle schwarber for hanley in this league? That would help.

Did I get booted out of this league?

yeah i posted about that in the chat. that's my fault. i forgot to add him back to your roster before the draft started. not sure what to do with rodelo's pick, but kepler is yours

I'm not sure if this shows up in any of the Rules threads, so to make sure everyone is clear on drafts: 1. Only IFAs designated as available in the major league draft can be drafted there. All the others go into the prospect draft. 2. The prospect draft is the first time that draftees from the prior June's draft can be added to a team. After the prospect draft, you can freely add/drop minor league players (except draftees from this coming June and IFAs that are signed after the draft starts). 3. Other than draftees from the prior June, ANY player who has played in the majors in any prior year (even 1 pitch or 1 PA) can be drafted in the major league draft. So if there's a hot prospect who got a cup of coffee last year, Tim will probably draft that player in like the 5th round of the major league draft. I'm not sure if that's an exaggeration or not. Just be prepared as people seem to always be shocked by this. 4. Finally, the prospect draft is done offline in an NSBB thread. This will be my 4th or 5th year and I'm sure we will again have someone pick a player that's already been drafted. If that happens, the first team to draft the player still gets him, obviously, and the team that double-drafted the player can draft another player. If other valid picks have been made, then that's tough [expletive] for the double drafting team who must choose from the players who haven't been picked. Let's have an example: assume Player A gets drafted by Tim in R1 and later in R1 Steve also picks Player A. After Steve's pick of Player A, Adam picks Player B. Steve, realizing his idiocy, comes back and says "my bad, can I have Player B (that Adam already drafted)?" The answer will be "no you dumbass, that's your own fault. Pick someone else." Names have been changed, but this happened.

Trying to balance the newbies a bit, here's the new divisions I'm going to create when the draft ends: East: Sanitizers Calvinball DBlock Dealers STI Rodelo Pigeons Cubs in AZ West: NSBB CCK HBC Quakers Alamo Theo Kicks Thome

Did we decide which IFA were MLB eligible?

Any reason UK can't start?

I'm the wizard re Hill. I think I forgot to drop him originally. On the commission add/drop page it says moves don't take effect until 4/4. Is CBS lying or is that not the right page? Anyway, I'm going to be over my head for at least another week so if one of the 12 other people with godlike powers can make moves and start the draft thatd be awesome. Hope we can only miss 1-2 months of the season
