Armchair Fantasy Baseball: Archives / Re: Draft Discussion
« on: March 31, 2015, 07:25:43 PM »
We have 6 vacant teams currently, and some of the teams like Miami, Oakland, St Louis don't have much use for later rounds in the draft historically. 

Quite frankly the draft is probably too long at 40 rounds, especially when only about 2% of players selected after the 10th round make the majors.  Shortening the draft should be looked at for next season.

2% is still 200% better than zero. My question is this: Do the vacant teams get draft-picks?

In most leagues a team without a manager will be awarded the "next highest player available" to ensure a competitive league. I haven't seen that taking place here.

Nice Cincy.  After BooYah! ing seemingly every round of the draft about "fairness" and "cheating," you roll out your 13 picks while the rest of us were trying to see who was still in and if we were going to continue in some kind of order. 
Just thought I'd point that out.

thanks,

All I did was respond to the post on the draft-board, which offered "if anyone would like to finish out their draft, feel free to do so".

And considering that every team was on "auto-skip" at that point (and over half the teams missing most of their picks in the first 30 rounds) and no one was making any picks, I compiled a list and posted it.

Boo Yah! :toast:

It's not my opinion, it's a fact.  Trading actual MLB players for worthless draft picks is a bad precedent for this type of league.

Each team traded an MLB player; the picks are just frosting on the cake.

There are actually two Nick Greens.  It appears that you selected the one from :TEX: and I am selecting the one from :KC:

I could be wrong, but I don't think my Nick Green had been selected yet.  He wasn't marked off the list.

Oh okay, I didn't realize there were two of them. I did take the one from Texas. My bad.  :toth:

:COL: completes their draft by selecting the following:

22   Nootbaar, Nigel 361
23   Thornhill, Nathan 382
24   Knighton, Michael 499
25   Overton, Connor 437
26   Chin, Andrew
27   Hedges, Zach 769
28   Allen, Will 400
29   Amion, Richard 568
30   Nittoli, Vinny 741
31   Theofanopoulos, Michael 890
32   Paula, Luis 941
33   Baranik, Carson 999
34   Barzilli, Julian 945
35   Brown, Dawson 732
36   Henry, Brennan 513
37   Beal, Evan 633
38   Chleborad, Tanner 481
39   Green, Nick 303
40   Savas, Daniel 570

I'd chosen him quite a few rounds ago.

The Reds will complete our draft with our final 13 picks.

28th Rd - Matt Cooper, rhp, White Sox (#468)***

29th Rd - Montana DuRapau, rhp, Pirates (#971)*** Not in Fantrax yet.

30th Rd - Tyler Herb, rhp, Mariners (#861)**

31st Rd - Frank Duncan, rhp, Pirates (#401)

32nd Rd - Jamill Moquete, of, Orioles (#961) Not in Fantrax.

33rd Rd - Seth Varner, lhp, Reds (#305)

34th Rd - Matt Page, of, Nationals (#304)

35th Rd - Chris Huffman, rhp, Padres (#417)

36th Rd - Kyle McKenzie, rhp, Rays (#607)

37th Rd - Lukas Schiraldi, rhp, Mariners (#441)

38th Rd - Trevor Lubking, lhp, Rays (#427)

39th rd - James Bourque, rhp, Nationals (#424)

40th Rd - Fran Whitten, 1b, Angels (#1109)

It's been 2 days since the last pick. With only 4 or 5 teams still participating at this point and all other's on "autoskip", I believe it is my choice. My apologies, if not.

The reds will select with the 24th pick in the 27th round:

Josh James, rhp, Astros (#1006). 

39
Why wasn't the posting locked and the player processed? It's natural to assume the bidding is still open, if not.

  • Brent: And that's why I haven't traded Carr yet.  Someone doesn't have a QB or thinks they'll get one in FA/draft and might be left wanting.

  • Daddy: @Alpha if a team in MLB LIVE has two starting 1Bs then there is also a team without one.
    Today at 10:30:34 AM
  • ldsjayhawk: @jwalker I make like 2-3 trades a year for each of my baseball teams, maybe.  I'll tell you part of the reason I don't trade.  Every trade discussion starts out with the other team wanting my top prospect regardless of what I am trading for.  I am not trading Jackson Holliday for your backup catcher who is going to play 20 games this year.

  • Alpha5: Nah cause position eligibility. 1B/OF, 1B,3B etc
    Today at 11:02:48 AM
  • Daddy: CB/S >> DE/LB >> Taysom Hill QB/TE
    Today at 12:06:43 PM
  • Daddy: Football is just harder. You can build a team and 3 years later its irrelevant due to injury, retirement, roster turnover.

    Today at 12:29:52 PM
  • Alpha5: And maybe you should trade Jackson Holiday lolol
    Today at 12:32:00 PM
  • Brent: In an offsite league, I inquired about Mason Miller and the guy asked for Jackson Holliday.

  • dbreer23: Is it like a 4 team redraft league? :rofl:
    Today at 12:40:30 PM
  • dbreer23: Cris, there is a reason that you are a good owner, bc you can discern a value deal vs. a BS deal. Not all owners are that savvy. They will eventually leave...
    Today at 12:42:49 PM
  • Brent: Nope, 32-team contract league.
    Today at 12:49:09 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: I don't have Holiday.  Just used him as an example since he was the #1 prospect
    Today at 12:56:05 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: @Alpha I do make trades.  I am just not giving up the entire farm to land a guy I can get out of the FA pool
    Today at 12:59:21 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: Trading should be a win-win situation for both teams.
    Today at 01:00:32 PM
  • dbreer23: Agreed. I think the Devers deal in FGM is a good example of that. Devers gives SD some now (and future) pop, giving up substantial pieces to get him (Mayo, Keith, and one other).
    Today at 01:03:48 PM
  • Brent: I had Holliday in FGM before I stepped away.
    Today at 01:24:07 PM
  • Brent: I am glad I cut back on leagues, I was spread too thin.

  • Jwalkerjr88: @idsjayhawk i understand that. To be clear, i wasnt judging anyone. I just know in NFL Live, you cant just draft 1-7 rds every year and sign a few FAs and be the champion. It wont happen
    Today at 01:52:08 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Trading isnt easy. But neither is winning
    Today at 01:52:22 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: If you made a list of the most aggressive gms to have stepped foot in nfl live, you will notice the champions will be among them
    Today at 01:53:06 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: You arent gonna win every trade and you HAVE to have a plan. Ive made some horrible trades. I have every year
    Today at 01:53:50 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Carolina has kyren williams right now cause i traded him for a 2nd and a 4th. Id rather have kyren today lol
    Today at 01:54:28 PM
  • Brent: Agreed.  I have Amon Ra St. Brown and Aiyuk because I traded JJ.  I couldn't have acquired a player like ASB where I was picking in the 1st so I down tiered at WR to make a trio of Chase, ASB and Aiyuk instead of JJ, Chase and fill in the blank.
    Today at 02:09:02 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: That is probably even more true in baseball since your drafts don't payoff for 5 years or so.  And I will admit my conservatism may be the reason I only have one championship here at ProFSL

  • BayAreaBallers: jwalkerjr88 is right
    Today at 02:25:49 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: on that u havat trade a bit here and there
    Today at 02:25:57 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: although my last draft class and fa class kinda lead me to a run so it can happen
    Today at 02:27:21 PM
  • Brent: Yeah, it does help to have a big draft class and available cap.
    Today at 02:36:56 PM
  • Brent: I'm contemplating doing a complete tear down in NFL Live and rebuild.  Honestly, I probably should have postered for it to be this season.  I still might, but I would legit need to go into the draft with 3-4 top 10 picks/+ many others.
    Today at 02:38:21 PM
  • Brent: postured
    Today at 02:38:35 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Yea nailing drafts and some key FAs helps too. But if you remember BAB you traded alvin kamara for the rams 1-7 draft picks. So the extra picks helped you nail the 2023 draft the way you did
    Today at 03:13:02 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Its the combination of all three that is required is what im saying
    Today at 03:13:31 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: And brent a tear down with you assets would look interesting. Personally i just think you need break one big asset down into 3 good ones and move carr and go from there. But you have an A1 nfl mind so im sure you will nail whatever it is you decide

  • BayAreaBallers: very good pt yes i did gain lot of capital which propelled me to make more moves from that trade
    Today at 03:34:25 PM
  • Brent: Thank you.  Yes, I agree.  I do need to break one asset down to 3.  I did that with JJ, went from S tier to 2 A tiers.  Now I need to potentially go from an A tier to 3 Bs or something like that.  I've had some inquiries on Carr, but nothing worth moving him.

  • Alpha5: Guarantee I know who he traded Kamara to for 1-7 without even looking
    Today at 05:22:42 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: alpha it was a good trade at the time
    Today at 05:29:49 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: my team was in the Crapter at that pt
    Today at 05:29:58 PM
  • Brent: Who did you draft with the 1st acquired in that trade?
    Today at 05:36:34 PM
  • Daddy: Whoever it was, he got six more choices on top of that. The "win win" scenario.
    Today at 05:53:04 PM
  • Daddy: At that time i had no RB1. So i traded an entire draft class to get one.
    Today at 05:54:10 PM
  • Daddy: SF doubled up his pick haul and went to work, using them in trades & draft return.
    Today at 05:54:46 PM
  • Daddy: Then beat me in the NFC Title game.
    Today at 05:55:32 PM
  • Daddy: RB is a hard position to nail down. If someone wants to trade me 1-7 for Kamara. Step right up.
