GuardBum 73 Posted March 28, 2022 Rounds 27 and 28 still fall technically in the draft picks due to the roster sizes. I was worried that finalizing completely might mess with settings so I didn't hit that button. Now at work, I can't log into Yahoo and the mobile app doesn't let me make draft changes either that I can tell with the Commish tools. If anyone knows for sure that the finalize draft won't mess the spots then if CMH or Lambert can get to it today great. Or else when I get home at 4 CT, I'll push the button.

I wouldn’t my gut tells me it would end the draft. Supplemental players could always be added individually by teams later but this way is cleanest. It’s simple just to go to available players like Burt said to see who remains in the draft pool and if you didn’t keep track of Your own roster on a spreadsheet or paper, you can filter by your team and see your roster that way. easy enough 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is what I did some years... Finalize it, even with only 26 man rosters (the league is set to 28 spots, so it will think each team has two openings)... Disable each team from making waiver moves so that way on the commissioner can make roster additions... Then when a player gets drafted, the commissioner adds the player accordingly... Then when done with the two rounds, enable all teams to make moves... Other years I left it alone and just added the drafted player to round 27 and 28 and listed how everyone can see their roster and all available players... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted March 28, 2022 With Buehler off the board it was a toss up for me between Tucker and Robert. Had Robert last year and when he played it was awesome, but the injury piece did get me so that was the only deciding factor for me. Robert probably has better speed upside.

lambert58 56 Posted March 28, 2022 I moved up to grab Bryant. He popped 2 picks before me. (Nice grab). Had to switch gears. Thought Hader was the best at his position in the game. Happy with the second choice. Trea Turner at 27.03 gives me a lot of flexibility with the IF. Plug him in at SS and can use Wong at second and Edman in the OF. Lots of doubles and steals with those 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,237 Posted March 28, 2022 Bryant’s draft value goes way up by being eligible at 1B. You can’t ignore position flexibility in this league. Trea Turner for example. I would have loved to draft him if I didn’t really need an ace SP. I could have plugged him at short and moved Adames to my bench or at second and shifted Lowe to the outfield. I do have outfield depth though so with that in mind and again, no ace, Burnes was the pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,237 Posted March 29, 2022 Happy to come out of the supplemental with Burnes and Peralta. There was another pitcher I was intrigued by for my 28.11 but I had Peralta higher and thought he would have been gone….. wait the draft is over , it was Dylan Cease I was intrigued by. Was committed to going SP/SP from the start, unfortunately….. also Chris Archer signed with the Twins and should be in their rotation plans which gives my rag tag group a little more depth even though Archer hasn’t been good or healthy in years.

Mookz 1,291 Posted March 29, 2022 I drafted reckless this year. Had it in my mind that this is the year I get Rutschman, and couldn't bring myself to reach for no 38 year old Chirinos. And it bit me, I'm without a starting catcher until Adley heals and/or gets called up (p.s. if anyone has a warm body catcher available, make me an offer). I also waited too long on Mateo. I wanted him but didn't know how much Raiderhater valued him. Only after he was taken did I realize that Tatis is a SS and RH therefore may have been looking for additional SS support. Had to burn a supplemental on a SS, when I normally take two starters. I guess the good news is that I drafted more pitching than usual, the bad news is it all sucks.

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 29, 2022 Other than botching Smyly and Boyd, the rest of the draft went as well as I could have hoped for. I knew going in that it would be Scherzer or Baez, no chance of getting both. Wasn't sure J.D. Martinez would be there for me in round 2. Supplemental draft went perfectly. Once Turner was off the board, I knew my second round pick would be Altuve and that I could trade down and still get him. Getting the major upgrade at two positions (one being a top 3 hitter) and a useful arm for the rotation in a two round draft was a best-case scenario.

WhiteWonder 2,237 Posted March 29, 2022 Looking back on the totality of my draft now that the Supplemental is complete (and now that I'm less pissed )...... The bones focked me, plain and simple. As soon as I saw the entire order, not just that I was last, I knew it was going to be rough going. Of course picking last was the worst case scenario as I could have very well nabbed one of my top 3 pitchers and still had Arozarena in round 2 if I was middle of the pack. Nelson Cruz may turn out to be a mistake. As mentioned before, his util only status makes him a bit of a dead spot on my roster and it's very likely CJ Cron is ascending and this will be the year Cruz vanishes. I thought there might be a better chance of Cron making it back to my 3/4 turn. Instead, those picks were Garcia who used to be exclusive and Luis Patino just because I needed a SP, hes young with upside, and I did not think he would pass RHR again. Knew Fairbanks would not make it back to me in round 5 and maybe I got lucky there as he looks likely to miss the first half of the season. Disappointing from a real Rays perspective. Alex Cobb in round 5 just feels a little dirty but most teams are taking shots in these rounds and going after needs. He did play solidly in LA last year..... Brad Miller seems to have landed in a nice spot and I needed the 1B depth. 7/8 was a nice turn for depth. I didn't think Margot would be there and Mejia gives me the Rays catcher tandem. 9/10 was my most exciting and favorite turn. I was confident Pham would land a job and just got lucky with his landing spot. Boxberger pitched great last year and is capable of closing. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Hader traded but i'd prefer Boxberger remain in a holds role. Having the most balls in the supplemental didn't feel like much of a bonus. Often, i'd rather be picking at the back end. Seeing a talent like J-Ram fall to 10 just confirms this. Yet picking first allowed me to get the ace I needed and perhaps having 2 less teams this year (4 less supp picks) also allowed me to land a player I coveted at the end.
