When are we actually stating the draft? What day/time?

Hollywood42 · 02-26-2019, 03:51 PM

Draft will start on Monday. I don't care when, Ray can pick as soon as the clock hits midnight if he wants. We'll see how quickly things go to start. If it's slow for a few weeks I'll try to organize a time for everyone to be online at the same time to grind out a few rounds

Hmmm, move up 4 in the 1st move back 7 in the third? Tempting!

Oh no, that's not what I'm saying. I would swap picks in the 1st round with any of the 4 below me and I would want their 3rd round pick outright. It's a lot to ask. Which is why I prefaced it with I don't expect anyone to take it.

I see, I misunderstood. Yeah I dont think I want to do that. I knew I had to be reading that wrong.

No sweat. I know I'm reaching and my cost is way too high. But it's not very often that you have the 1st overall pick. Got to ask for the moon when you can.

Just think of it this way, and no pressure but... if you mess up the #1 pick this year you could try again next year. =P

Cold blooded. Want to see a 35 year old finally break down? Just have Rayray draft him.

Noted for my other leagues!

Ray27Ray52 · 02-27-2019, 08:45 AM

I feel like I want to make some more moves but I should just leave it alone. I'm not fond of the pressure of the #1 pick. Someone hold me!

Poonchka · 02-27-2019, 08:55 AM

I don't want to hear anybody say rayray doesn't ever want to trade with anyone.

We getting keeper instructions today?

Hollywood42 · 02-27-2019, 08:05 PM

Yeah sorry, should be able to get that out tonight. Been dealing with some drama lately

Just PMed this information to everyone, but posting it here as well-

Hey fellas, little bit of info for you. First, here's what I need you all to do by midnight on Friday-

1. Set your keepers on your team page on ESPN
2. Drop all players from your roster than you are not keeping
3. Post your keepers in the thread or PM me your list (rounds included, please)

This will allow me to update thedraft spreadsheet, as well as ensure everyone that should be kept is kept and everyone is aware of who non-keepers are. I'd really like this done by Friday so I have the weekend to make sure everybody got their players in and everything is set.

Fire, you're the only guy I haven't heard from yet about payments, please try to get that in or at least let me know a timeline. Otherwise I'll have to look for a replacement this weekend.

As for the draft, it'll begin on Monday. Whenever Ray wants to make the first pick is fine with me- Right at midnight, or in the morning. Submit your picks by posting in the thread. Please include a position along with a player's name, and if you can include the overall draft pick number as well, that's a nice bonus. Draft clock will be 24 hours long. Please PM the person up next after you after making your selection. The clock does not start until the person was PMed. As such, please also post in the thread that you have PMed the next in line. I don't want to turn on autodraft if the clock runs out, but if several days go by without a pick from a team, I may have to just to keep things running (in which case we'd use ADP to autodraft players, but I really hope it doesn't come to this). If you don't pick in your allotted 24 hours, you'll be skipped and the draft can move on without you. You can come back to submit a pick at any time. Draft history will be available in the spreadsheet, use the control + f function to search for a player's name.

We'll see how quickly things go for the first week or two. If needed, we may try to organize a time down the road where everyone can be online at the same time so we can crank out a few rounds.

As a reminder for draft eligibility, you can draft anybody provided they are in ESPN's player pool. If you mistakenly pick someone that isn't in the pool, you'll forfeit that pick. Don't know of any instances that this would happen, but just so that's covered. Remember that only players with MLB experience can be kept at the end of the year, and the cost to keep someone will be a draft pick in one round higher than when they were selected the previous season.

Think that covers the bases, but if I missed anything, let me know! Looking forward to another fun year!

Ray27Ray52 · 02-28-2019, 07:25 AM

Keepers are set:

Andrew Benintendi- Round 3 (Pick #36)
Trevor Bauer- Round 8 (Pick #90)
Whit Merrifield- Round 8 (Pick #96)
Sean Doolittle- Round 9 (Pick #108)
Brad Hand- Round 10 (Pick #120)

ksemmel · 02-28-2019, 07:42 AM

Seanbros and I are swapping our picks in rounds 9 and 12

ksemmel · 02-28-2019, 07:44 AM

I am also keeping

Jose Ramirez - 1
JT Realmuto - 14
Mike Clevinger - 17
Jack Flaherty - 16
Patrick Corbin - 21

Ray27Ray52 · 02-28-2019, 07:52 AM

My keepers are so sad. I count 5 league members that I know for sure who their keepers are and my projected point value runs 4th out of those 5. I would imagine it's going to be worse when others turn theirs in.

Hollywood42 · 02-28-2019, 08:54 AM

My keepers, barring any big trades still happening, will be-

Rhys Hoskins (4)
Jose Berrios (7)
Gleyber Torres (16)
Miles Mikolas (22)
Scooter Gennett (25)

Created a tab for keeper selections in the draft spreadsheet. After the keeper deadline, I'll add them to the 2019 draft page. Holding off until then as there may still be some trades that move the order around

Hollywood42 · 02-28-2019, 08:57 AM

As for trading, I wouldn't mind doing some more minor moves. Would like to trade back in the 4th, but other than that I'm about as far back as I can be in my keeper rounds. But open to trading non-keeper rounds as well. Plus, still have decent keepers available in Noah Syndergaard (2) and Eddie Rosario (10) that I'd trade for a pick in rounds 12-20
