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.

    Today at 08:58:55 PM
  • Daddy: Honestly i love the deal because my GMs love it. I dont say good deal bad deal or i like this side better.  My goal is to provide a fair platform where people are free to trade and not be judged because nobody knows for sure how these trades will play out. Lots of ACLs are gonna tear between now and new years.  Im always happy that two strangers with different backgrounds can meet in our league and enjoy freedom to be themselves and do what THEY THINK is best. I love every deal. (Had to share that @Braves) :toast:
