your memory is true. BUT that would happen when i entered the picks at the beginning of the draft – now that I have them at the end, the draft order will be the draft order. so you should be safe to decide whatever non-Jose Fernandez pick you'd like to go with!

i am definitely grabbing josh rutledge while he's still available, then
― Karl Malone, Friday, 14 March 2014 15:27 (ten years ago) link
Bryan lahair is eligible right?

6th pick should be good enough for Kyle Farnsworth, unless somebody sells me out.

did you just come up with "miguelephant" just now?!

i can't remember the position eligibility requirements for our league - is it 20 games at a position in 2013? 5 games?
― Karl Malone, Friday, 14 March 2014 19:46 (ten years ago) link
Batters need either 5 Games Started or 10 Games Played at a position to gain eligibility. Pitchers need 3 Starts to gain SP eligibility, 5 Relief Appearances to gain RP eligibility.

i'm currently in spreadsheet panic mode because my made-up ranking system has drastically different results, in some cases, then the standard projections, and i go back and forth between thinking that's because i have now key unique insights or that i completely fucked up
― Karl Malone, Friday, 14 March 2014 19:59 (ten years ago) link
xpost thanks will. for some reason i can't find that listed on our league's scoring & settingspage.
― Karl Malone, Friday, 14 March 2014 20:00 (ten years ago) link
it's not on that page... i think it's yahoo standard -- you have to click on players -> position eligibility

oh crap it's this sunday? i need to study, i don't even know who jose fernandez is

just fyi i tried combinations of multiple z score projection system excel sheets, baseball monster, ziguana, and combinations thereof over the years.last year i had two bloody maries at brunch, remembered draft 20 minutes before and worked through a guinness six pack during. best system yet.
― action bronson pinchot (sanskrit), Saturday, 15 March 2014 02:15 (ten years ago) link
my preferred system is a couple of tallboys and a respectable amount of pot.
may need it this year too. i'm pretty sure i know who the first two players taken are going to be – absolutely no idea who to take with the 3rd pick (if I'm right).
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 15 March 2014 16:03 (ten years ago) link
i'm pretty sure i know who the first two players taken are going to be
i'm second pick, and i don't see a clearcut choice for it, so be on your toes
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 15 March 2014 16:05 (ten years ago) link
i have eighth pick; I made 4 "buckets" of players, one of 8, another 11, another 13, and another 11, which basically guarantees me that i will have one from the top group, and one from the 2nd+1st group in the 2nd round, etc.
i have been maaaaaybe overthinking this whole thing.

your autodraft pick right before my human pick made me swear a record 3 times
― Sam Malone, no relation (Will M.), Sunday, 16 March 2014 20:42 (ten years ago) link
of course this will change when i get impatient and start dropping young players, but as of right now, i have four keeper-eligible players age 27-29 for 2015, and ten 0-26 players. i might have to rename my team because NONE of them remember bizarre love triangle

Uhhhh mock drafting in the new ipad app is really fun
― polyphonic, Monday, 17 March 2014 05:07 (ten years ago) link
i'm at work right now so i can't check our league (it's blocked), but do any of you have thoughts on second catchers? it's kind of tough to figure out what to do with the other 30-40 games that your main catcher won't start. is a waiver-level backup catcher a net benefit if you use him for 30-40 games, or will their rate stats suck so bad that it actually hurts your team to use them?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 15:54 (ten years ago) link
I'd wait until you see how they actually play, no need to grab one now... you can always also try to ride the splits if it pans out, but that's a tough one of synchronize.
― Sam Malone, no relation (Will M.), Wednesday, 19 March 2014 16:25 (ten years ago) link
TO* synchronize. ugh.
i already called dibs on blanco the elder, so back off

I'm happy to not have that problem - Santana's averaging around ~620 PA last 3 years

Waiver-level backup catchers aren't worth it, IMO.

sorry I forgot about draft.. if any wants steals/speed, i need SP

― Karl Malone, Thursday, 20 March 2014 19:44 (ten years ago) link
my team is really slow so i might be willing to make an offer
i may offer u something too, as i seem to have drafted approx 17 SPs
