The Blowout League Official Draft - Page 12

joebalazek · 03-21-2015, 01:38 PM

We have blown past the 24 hour mark.

eman316 · 03-21-2015, 02:30 PM

Think we are getting close to autopick time....

joebalazek · 03-21-2015, 02:31 PM

Homer Bailey is the highest ranked on my ranking cheat sheet I have been using.

BeantownBashers · 03-21-2015, 02:46 PM

I think we need to get Jack, our commissioner, to make this decision

34JacktheRipper · 03-21-2015, 04:44 PM

Ok so here's my suggestion: obviously the draft is progressing much slower. Rather than autopick, I'm just going to cut the roster size down. Everyone will have more depth and this way we don't need to worry about a draft clock. Sound good?

joebalazek · 03-21-2015, 05:43 PM

I'm good with that.

Would you implement waivers in reverse draft order for free agents?

Yes I would

Gutterdog7 · 03-21-2015, 09:56 PM

What do you think you will cut it down to? Does this include prospects?

25 including prospects. I'll probably cut the two corner and middle infield spots and 2 pitcher spots and 1 bench.

I think we really need a draft clock at this point. It has been almost 72 hours since the last pick.

BeantownBashers · 03-22-2015, 01:49 PM

I'm honestly not a big fan of cutting the roster...I don't know how everyone else feels but I managed my draft in a specific way based on which positions I needed...

I'm not a fan either but I think it's the most logical route to getting this done.

joebalazek · 03-22-2015, 02:34 PM

I don't love the idea either. Unfortunately there is no fair way to pick for someone when it is offline. There are no default rankings to refer to.

We could use the ESPN top 300 list. Fantasy 2015 Fantasy Baseball Roto Top 300 - ESPN

joebalazek · 03-22-2015, 03:22 PM

There are a million list we could use, but since we didn't make any rules for it , it's tough to implement after the fact. I just don't understand why it would take so long. I hope everything is okay

He bought a card on here this morning so I would assume everything is ok.

If a draft can't keep your interest, why would you sign up for a dynasty league?

BeantownBashers · 03-22-2015, 04:27 PM

No kidding, if you can't keep on a draft for two weeks how does a six month season sound.

Anyways I sent him a PM, I don't know if anyone already did, but I thought I would anyways.

I think we should use the standard rankings for whatever site we're running the league through. If I'm not mistaken, it's yahoo, so we should use their rankings.
