posty 2,296 Posted February 21, 2013 Wait now...I feel like I'm getting conflicting info here. So just for argument's sake, let's take Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, and Albert Pujols. As Brewers/Braun owner, can I legally trade Bruan for only one of those guys, or either of them? Yes... But then if they drop Braun, they no longer have the rights to him but since he is an exclusive to you, you could pick him back up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finbabble Garp 1 Posted February 21, 2013 So I could trade Braun for Prince, and if I dropped Prince (which would make a great deal of sense), both the Tigers and I would be eligible to pick him back up. I could also trade Braun for Pujols, and if I dropped HIM, the Cards and Angels owners would be eligible to pick him up, but I would not. I got that right?

But if you drop pujols, you cant pick him back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finbabble Garp 1 Posted February 22, 2013 If the pujols owner wants to trade you pujols for braun.. its legal. But if you drop pujols, you cant pick him back up. Righty-o. I just wanted to make sure I was eligible to get stats from guys I acquired via trade, who had never played on the team I'm representing. Seems that's just a draft restriction.

Finbabble Garp 1 Posted February 22, 2013 One more point of clarification regarding scoring rules. It's just raw totals in each category, calculated weekly against a single opponent, which then translates to W/L/T? How are those then compiled to sort the league standings? And also, no position maximums? So if I've got crazy pitching depth, I can theoretically get like 20 starts a week, versus my opponent's five (or something)? Or I can rotate in outfielders every day to maximize my AB's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or I can rotate in outfielders every day to maximize my AB's? It is a 9x9 H2H league, so you will have 18 outcomes (wins, losses or ties) each week... For 22 weeks, these are added up and there are your final standings... Top 6 make the championship bracket and the next 6 make the consolation bracket... No position maximums... If you want to start 20 pitchers in a week, you can... Here are the categories: Hitting: R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, E Pitching: W, L, CG, SHO, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP So while you might load up on pitcher starts for a week (to win W and K), you might automatically lose the L, ERA, WHIP categories if they all get shelled...

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted February 23, 2013 out of curiosity why do we score errors (a fielding stat) as one of the 9 hitting categories over strikeouts (fewer the better) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burt 43 Posted February 23, 2013 out of curiosity why do we score errors (a fielding stat) as one of the 9 hitting categories over strikeouts (fewer the better) I've often wondered that as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lambert58 56 Posted February 23, 2013 I always assumed it was because errors were for every day players much like hitting was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
29 Guests 29 Posted February 24, 2013 2 years ago it was if a player is assumed to play on the new team due to a trade or a free-agent signing then he is eligible for that team. Lance Berkman for the Cardinals last year would have been eligible for the Astros, Yankees, and Cardinals even though he had not yet played an innning for the Cardinals. I assuem this is still true this year with the exception of Pujols. He is only eligible for the Cardinals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted February 24, 2013 Yes you can draft Pena just not yet as all the teams he's eligible to have not yet passed their picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted February 24, 2013 can't remember this draft is 28 rounds then a 2 round supplemental and then we cut 2 players to get back to 28? the 1-2 round supp for the allstar break does not require cuts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burt 43 Posted February 24, 2013 the 1-2 round supp for the allstar break does not require cuts? Yes, that one will, too. At least it has in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted February 24, 2013 Yes, that one will, too. At least it has in the past. i went back to my team from last year and i had 32 rostered at the end not 28 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted February 24, 2013 i went back to my team from last year and i had 32 rostered at the end not 28 Right, there was a mistake setting things up, but this year it has been fixed and is 28 players... If you pickup someone during the supplemental drafts, you must cut someone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burt 43 Posted February 24, 2014 I realize that players who were free agents and just signed MLB contracts with new teams are available to the new teams, but what about players who are invited to camp with a new but haven't signed an MLB contract? Remind me how we've handled that in the past. I may have overlooked it, but I didn't see anything about it in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the explanation was that if they are not on the team's roster on opening day that you had to release them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 757 Posted February 24, 2014 yep, the raul mondesi clause royals now have a top prospect in their farm system named raul mondesi. So you can draft someone that is a non-roster invite to your team, and if they make opening day roster you can keep them, but if they don't make the team out of camp then at that point you have to release the player. Like Brad Penny would be eligible for me to draft this year, but if he doesn't end up on the roster I can't keep him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
