I think we should just go ahead with the draft on that date tbh unless everyone else disagrees. Maybe it depends on whether or not Charles Barkley gave the Angels coronavirus I guess.
― omar little, Saturday, 14 March 2020 18:19 (four years ago) link
aside from the Charles Berkley part, i agree. best to stick with a date that, miraculously, no one has had an issue with and that would at least allow us to made trades and gaze longingly at our league-winning lineup.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 15 March 2020 12:58 (four years ago) link
my2cents: I'd prefer to push the date to reflect the season best we can.
― francisF, Monday, 16 March 2020 04:34 (four years ago) link
they're saying a delay could go back as far as July – and as more news comes in, the less i'm confident the US has the ability to handle this situation... maybe putting the draft on hold is the way to go.
would really appreciate more input. am gonna send out an email.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 16 March 2020 19:07 (four years ago) link
it's a bit of a risk someone gets screwed somehow, the larger the interim after draft I don't think theres anything to lose in delaying it, so why not do that
― francisF, Monday, 16 March 2020 19:24 (four years ago) link
i'm happy either way, as long as i get to pick 10-20 baseball men at some point this summer.
if they cancel the whole season i'll just make a pretend draft for myself and stare at it longingly til september.

If the NBA is looking to head back in June, with the playoffs extending into late summer, then baseball could easily be off until then too. The season would be maybe 100 games plus playoffs? With no transactions or new injuries between now and whenever the season starts up again, would anyone really draft differently if the draft was held now vs two months from now? But I'm fine either way.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 12:31 (four years ago) link
i think there is the potential injuries pop-up or maybe some teams don't get started on time due to sick players? there's so many variables at this point. i also think i would go insane looking at a fantasy lineup i couldn't do anything with.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 13:41 (four years ago) link
i don't think it'll make a huge difference but it's probably prudent to delay
― na (NA), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 14:06 (four years ago) link
yeah the thing i am most worried about is just 2 months of chances for catchers to injure themselves in luggage-related injuries (looking at you, both lucroy and perez, somehow)

Make me an offer:
Pedro Severino, C, BAL
Current #106 overall ranking with:
7 R, 5 HR, 19 RBI, .398 OBP, .581 SLG, 9 XBH, 1 NSB
which ranks him at #2 out of all MLB catchers (only Realmuto has performed better).
Looking to close a deal ASAP.

(second tab is the one you probably wanna look at -- shows you players sorted by team and then age with the dropped & over-30s filtered out)(it also assumes a start date next year of 2021-04-01, which DOES affect some players' birthdays, so check the birthdate columns too in case!)

Thanks Will I was curious as I have a few keeper-eligible players whose bdays are borderline to opening day and I know you've been flexible with that date in the pas.t
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 4 September 2020 16:43 (three years ago) link
Also you have the wrong Will Smith bday for my catcher (LA), you're using the Giants (?) RP with the same name.

ack that'll happen with identical names. one of these days i'll come up with a better fix than "changing one of their names to will smith2" but for now that'll have to do!
