    Food for thought for next season....  expanding rosters?  maybe as simple as going to 30 total rounds (28 regular and 2 supplemental). Or do we like the constant rotation of exclusive players?  It's probably fairly inconsequential but might make some lives easier if we don't have to be on top of 30 add/drops per week. 

    some teams just use 1 roster spot for the entirety of an exclusive  SP rotation

    or do we feel this is a positive element of the geek homers chess game?

    I think it's a good part of the homer process.  It can be a bit of a challenge when an owner might have to be away from their lineup for a while if they wanted to set it to auto-start but the teams that for the most par that do this seem to be the smaller market teams.  I could be wrong but it those teams that have lost pitchers to other teams in the real MLB and try to draft those guys that can't be dropped and then hope to "out-number-start" the competition and hope that the 1 or 2 pitchers don't get pummeled to kill their ERA/WHIP.

    This is what I figured was meant. 

    Also not commish ..

    Name player you want.

    Name placeholder player here. 

    It's time stamped.

    Come day after that team's first game, all bets off as Yahoo should add.

    If there are any undrafted guys that we would like to roster who are not in the database, would we be able to declare them here and pick up stand-ins?

    I dunno what's with Yahoo this year but there are some dudes I'm surprised not to be finding. <_<

    Could certainly do that to reserve the ownership of that player.  Obviously no way to translate that to a start and actually fantasy points. But to claim them... don't see why we can't do that with this thread.

     On January 20, 2021, Yates signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. On March 22, 2021, Yates was diagnosed with a flexor strain and it was later announced that he would likely undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his 2021 season. On March 24, 2021, Yates underwent the procedure.

    That was the 1 year I had him on my list.  Then I had to take him off the list as he never actually pitched with the Jays.

    I assume we need to enter draft results before we draft supplemental...

    that will help determine who is available yes. Not sure if you can or have authorized co-owners for this year.  I can't get to Yahoo from my gov't work computer.  Firewalls and all.

    We are done.  
    Time to weight roll the  http://www.draftpicklottery.com/ to do a weighted (by balls) draft as we have in recent years to set the post-draft supplemental order.
    Think this is the balls order.

    Burt (Braves) -- 12 balls
    BlackClouds (Angels) -- 11 balls
    cmh6476 (Royals) -- 10 balls
    Zero Tolerance (Tigers) -- 9 balls
    Mookz (Orioles) -- 8 balls
    lambert58 (Cardinals) -- 7 balls
    Jim Mora (Rangers) -- 6 balls
    WhiteWonder (Rays) -- 5 balls
    dcb291 (Mets) -- 4 balls
    bbascom (Red Sox) -- 3 balls
    GuardBum (Blue Jays) -- 2 balls
    RaiderHaters Revenge (Padres) -- 1 balls

    @cmh6476 going back through the round 15 / 16 thread you actually had two 16.03 picks.  So the first one got lost or overwritten.  Not sure if you want McArthur somewhere else or if I'm missing something somewhere?

    16.03 James McArthur, RP, KC

    16.3 Jakob Junis, RP, Mil

    15.10 Carlos Santana, 1B, Min

    Wrapped up myself this morning,
     

    C – Gabriel Moreno, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk (still exclusive – Yan Gomes)

    1B – Vladimir Guerrero Jr [still exclusive – Rowdy Tellez]

    2B – Brandon Drury (1B) [still exclusive – Davis Schneider, Santiago Espinal (2B, SS, 3B)]

    3B – Matt Chapman, Isiah Kiner-Falefa (3B, OF), [still exclusive - Cavan Biggio (1B, 2B, 3B, OF)

    SS -  Bo Bichette [still exclusive – Jon Berti (SS, 3B, OF, 2B)

    OF – George Springer, Teoscar Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel Jr, Daulton Varsho, Kevin Kiermaier

    SP – Kevin Gausman, Marcus Stroman, Taijuan Walker, Ross Stripling, Jose Berrios, Yusei Kikuchi

    RP – Jordan Romano, Jason Adam, Julian Merryweather, Joel Payamps, Eric Swanson, Tim Mayza, Miguel Castro

     

    I’ve got holes and weaknesses in a fantasy team but looks pretty solid if it were a real world one. Good defense and a stacked bullpen (could use another lefty…lol) but that doesn’t play out in Yahoo. And if anyone is targeting the listed exclusives in the sup, good luck to you.

    Lots of flexibility and backups but they don’t exactly offer much punch in a scoring world. Predicting middle of the pack depending on trades and supplemental I can hope for.
    Again, Catcher is available. Probably looking at OF and pitching.


    Missed on without surprise Pitchers. Between DCB and Lambert I could have Bassitt, Matz, Hicks. Certainly changes that landscape.  Obviously not top tier guys but when you can throw shear numbers at it, that could be a solid add if available.
    Semien was a calculated loss when I choose pitcher. Just knew I needed one of Drury, Turner, Merrifield and if he stays healthy I though Drury would have the most upside.
    Did think Robbie Ray would go a little later but seeing Zero's limited options was also not surprised. That's good stash pick for mid season for a possible #2 starter.

    early trade block notification:  I have 4 top 25ish exclusive Catchers for those that may be in the market for one.
    Moreno (most expensive), Jansen, Kirk, Gomes
    All should get plenty of regular PT and AB.  Not sure obviously what I'm looking for yet just putting it out there.
