Question about DNHL rounding on contract calculations. Standard rounding (.5 and above round up ie. 4.2 = 4), any fraction round up (ie. 4.2 = 5) or just drop the fraction all-together ( 4.6 = 4)? It's confusing as f**ck in Backyard as there's a couple different approaches depending on the type of contract.

Don't we round to the nearest 0.1 in here.... Not sure what's confusing about BY, never been there.

But if it's like 1.667, it would be $1.7m
If it's 1.343, it would just be $1.3m

Not sure if that answered what you're looking for... Probably not though, as the above logic seems pretty straight forward and maybe it's a more complex issue you're looking at Slack?

Standard rounding then, thanks! In Backyard they round up for any fractions on free-agent contracts (1.343 = 1.4) but normally for extension discounts. Gets me every time.

Standard rounding... As in the right way to round decimals as far back as I can remember I leaned in elementary school?
As far as I remember, 1.11 and 1.19 are pretty different and shouldn’t both round to 1.2 haha.

I can see how any other way to do it would be super confusing!

Yes standard for sure.

In many leagues everything is rounded up, never down. Not here, we round down too!

Just curious what the settings are on Fantrax for setting lines.

I'm assuming that once the first game of the day is played, no more roster changes can be made?

I went to throw in Kinkaid for Schneider at 6:54pm EST, but the rosters were locked. Game time starts at 7pm EST.

Not a big deal, my dumb mistake for not looking sooner (work) but just wanted to see what the settings are.
I know on Yahoo I can change players right up until 6:59pm, or 9:59pm if it's a West coast came.

I hope to hell the Kinkaid non-start tonight isn't the deciding factor. Unlikely the way my skaters have been laying eggs so far

  • Daddy: If i have 10 top level AA prospects each in the top 10 of the franchise vs one middle of the road pitcher like Cal Quantrill (or pick a guy) which one of those two packages are more valuable?
    May 05, 2024, 02:39:26 PM
  • Daddy: If you think its the AA guys send me a pm.
    May 05, 2024, 02:40:07 PM

  • dbreer23: Take two to tango, though. Most owners with adequate or surplus SP aren't interested in prospects as they're trying to win now.
    May 05, 2024, 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.
    May 05, 2024, 02:45:09 PM
  • Braves155: My issue in LIVE currently is having Strider/Alcantara/Giolito all on the long shelf, so I am more retooling than rebuilding
    May 05, 2024, 02:46:48 PM
  • Daddy: Also agreed. Top quality pitching probably means not much depth. A few injuries can challenge you. Pitching other than top end pitching has been devalued in fantasy. Everyone wants the stud.
    May 05, 2024, 02:49:24 PM
  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    May 05, 2024, 02:49:45 PM
  • Daddy: I here to tell you that ALL major league pitching is good pitching. A great hitter beats a terrible pitcher just 3 out of 10 times. Which means the worst pitchers > the greatest hitters.

  • Brent: Greg Maddux had the best outlook.  He viewed himself as tye dealer/house and you had to beat him.  Just like in the casino, the house nearly always wins.
    May 05, 2024, 04:33:51 PM
  • Brent: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    May 05, 2024, 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.
    May 05, 2024, 05:15:18 PM
  • Daddy: There shouldn't be many innings available in FA in dynasty fantasy leagues IMO. Thats guaranteed money! To hell with High A ball.
    May 05, 2024, 05:21:23 PM
  • Daddy: Until someone starts a minor league baseball fantasy game or option. Maybe we can petition fantrax? I just dont think they will care for that.
    May 05, 2024, 05:23:07 PM
  • Daddy: Neither should we (so much). Every league i see is MLB.
    May 05, 2024, 05:24:17 PM

    May 05, 2024, 05:26:33 PM
  • Braves155: The problem with the minors is not the system as a whole, it is some Farm Systems are more 'elite' at being able to produce talent than others. If you look across MLB teams you can pretty easily tell the great systems from the weaker systems and talent development
    May 05, 2024, 05:57:14 PM
  • Braves155: With regard to pitching in the Minors...there is  method to the madness. It is all about what you make of it tho. I agree that it can seem certain type arms in the minors are a dime a dozen
    May 05, 2024, 06:02:39 PM
  • Daddy: Mr Braves you are my guy. There isnt anything wrong with minor league studs or flops. I get it in REAL baseball.
    May 05, 2024, 06:20:28 PM
  • Daddy: This is fantasy baseball. We dont generate revenue selling prospects and merchandising. Our top farms dont get a write up in Sports Illustrated.
    May 05, 2024, 06:22:29 PM
  • Daddy: Load up on MLB guys, then near MLB guys, and only then is the quality of your prospects matter. Ya dig ;)
    May 05, 2024, 06:24:36 PM
  • Brent: I over value minors to a fault, but I am softening on that stance.
    May 05, 2024, 06:45:54 PM
