WhiteWonder 2,674 Posted March 6 I dont know... in some cases I feel like its better to be picking toward the back end since it's a snake draft. If I had a top 3 pick id probably be offering it up for trade.... might be willing to move back from 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the patience...or lack there of from GB...lol Anyway, hoping Yamamoto can stay healthy. Having a starting pitcher from what should be the team with the most wins this year can't hurt...unless he is hurt. There were other better bats available for sure but have Diaz flex as a C or 1B helps my team a lot since my C and 1B depth is very shallow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 80 Posted March 10 Did not see Mookz nabbing Julio there, so I had him all but penciled in. It was a close second choice with Jackson for me but the experience was edging to Julio if I had the choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,674 Posted March 10 God f-ing damnit . I was hoping Mookz would take a pitcher so Rodriguez would fall to GB and Churio would have a chance to make it to me. really wanted him 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,674 Posted March 11 Good morning baseball fans I am assuming we wrap this up today unless Burt or dcb go missing. I will finalize and enter the draft results.... I am NOT sure if there is a way for me to lock free agents until a specific time. I am checking it out now. If there is not, I will submit the draft results at 3PM EST so that everyone is aware and has a fair shot at add/drops in the event there have been any developments with potential shared players upon review, Yahoo only has an option to allow post draft available players to be FCFS or to follow normal league waiver rules and we don't do waivers. So..... Rosters will be loaded and free agents available at 3PM EST 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,674 Posted March 12 21 minutes ago, Mookz said: So if Yahoo hasn't added them by opening day, that draft pick gets lost to free agency? Honestly great question and I don’t know how we handle this. for example if this is a player your team signed to a minor league contract and never played for your team before, I’d think you lose them. They don’t meet the requirement of having ever had an at bat or a pitch for you and are not on your MLb teams active roster. You’d have no right to hold them unless maybe they remain in your minor league system? if it’s someone who has accumulated stats for your mlb team in the past and was signed to a different team, I would think you are more than welcome to hold onto them but once you drop the placeholder it’s as if you dropped the pick. You certainly can’t use that roster spot for other purposes than waiting for yahoo to add the guy you drafted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think all my guys have actually played for the Os, but either haven't signed anywhere yet or have signed a minor league deal. This is all Yahoo's fault. I do not understand why they can't just roll everyone who played the previous year into the current year's database. Or even the past few years. There have to be leagues that draft online early, and if big name free agents haven't signed yet, they just can't be drafted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have to be leagues that draft online early, and if big name free agents haven't signed yet, they just can't be drafted? Big names seem to be fine. David Robertson, JD Martinez for example are in the database. but then oddly someone like Jose Quintana was not when I did the draft. He was obviously added later after signing with Milwaukee. but I agree… if a player played last season, they should be in the database even if they signed a minor league deal. So it sounds like, in your case, if it’s an exclusive you can drop the place holder obviously and add the drafted guy at any time. If it’s a non exclusive, you’ll have to decide if you want to roster the place holder. View the place holder as the guy you drafted. If he’s in free agent limbo it would be a dead roster spot anyway. If you drop the placeholder, whoever else can claim him is free to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No - you still get the rights to them, as long as you keep the placeholder rostered. You'll have first dibs once they are added (which *should* happen as soon as they are officially on a 40 man roster) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
