i just realized i'm going to be away that weekend. :/
― nomar, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 21:38 (eight years ago) link
saturday the 2nd would be perfect for me but i realize that's the absolute last day for drafts before the season
― nomar, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 21:39 (eight years ago) link
yikes. would moving the time around at all help your ability to make the draft, or join wherever you'll be at? if not i will send a message about the 2nd.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 21:46 (eight years ago) link
i might be able to do the draft anyway? i'm going to be on a super mellow four day trip to the desert, but my four yr old might be easter egg hunting at the time we're drafting. maybe if it's moved to 5 PM EST/2 PM PST?
― nomar, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 21:50 (eight years ago) link
ok. if no one objects here, i will send out a message about pushing it back a little further in a few days.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 21:57 (eight years ago) link
excellent thanks!
― nomar, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 22:01 (eight years ago) link
so, i haven't heard any grumbling – i'm change the draft time to 5pm est. i really hope everyone saw the message i sent out.
is there an ilbb mod up in our fantasy league that can change the time in my initial post from 2 to 5?

i'm sorry i am so bad at decisions :/
keeper number five is buxton hamilton rendon

so when does it flush the system/assign keepers? is it at the draft? i haven't done my rankings in the yahoo system yet
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 22:37 (eight years ago) link
i meant to do it sunday, and i'm just about to hunker down now and take care of it.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 23:39 (eight years ago) link
so, uh – sanskrit looks like Matt Harvey will be 27 on opening day (late march b-day), which would give you 4 guys in the 27+ dept on opening day. sorry i didn't catch this sooner.

NP. just waiting on sanskrit now.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 18:08 (eight years ago) link
so – I'm not sure what to do about sanskrit's team. he made an mistake with Harvey's (and also Carrasco's) age which has put him one over how many guys he can have in the 27-29 range and I haven't heard back from him yet. i figure he'd probably drop Ross (28) - but do i take the liberty of guessing who's he prefer in the sub-27 range? i think Soler is the obvious pick, but there's also Castillo and Wood... or do i just leave him with 4 keepers and an extra draft pick?
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 25 March 2016 19:17 (eight years ago) link
also – everybody check your picks on your team page. make sure i got them right.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 25 March 2016 19:21 (eight years ago) link
wait where? i see in the notes log you edited keepers or whatever but when i view my roster it just shows my whole 2015 team
― johnny crunch, Friday, 25 March 2016 23:25 (eight years ago) link
The picks *should* have that keeper icon next to their name. This really sucks waiting on sanskrit, I can't make anything final without hearing from him.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 25 March 2016 23:29 (eight years ago) link
Ok, no they don't. Fml
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 25 March 2016 23:32 (eight years ago) link
ok. i've locked shit down. keepers will now have the "K" icon next to them. i should be able to go back and revise things up to a few hours before the draft if sanskrit isn't happy with hanging onto soler instead of ross.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 26 March 2016 04:34 (eight years ago) link
ok. 30 mins. hopefully most people turn up on this easter draft-day!
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 27 March 2016 20:26 (eight years ago) link
is the order set yet or not til the draft client launches?
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 27 March 2016 20:28 (eight years ago) link
if you click "draft results" you can see the order.
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Sunday, 27 March 2016 20:31 (eight years ago) link
with manual keepers i have to select the draft order myself (i use a website that randomizes lists to do this).

There was a tab for projected standings during the draft, but now I can't find it on the regular yahoo site.

Iwakuma Jamaica Aroma 2016
C - Lucroy1B - Rizzo (K)2B - Josh Harrison 3B - Kyle Seager (K)SS - Brandon CrawfordOF - CarGoOF - ChooOF - Joc Pederson bench - Teixeira, Castellanos, Piscotty, Span, Alex Gordon
SP - Kershaw (K)SP - deGrom (K)SP - Greinke SP - Patrick CorbinSP - Trevor Bauer
RP - Osuna, Rosenthal, Doolittle, Finnegan (K)
I tried to focus more on offense, every year I find I'm struggling on offense and wasting my good pitching (only two more years of Kershaw carrying my team!)
Hopefully at least one of my post-hype prospects pan out (Bauer, Castellanos) for future keeperables.
Finnegan will be starting with the Reds this year, he's young, and has been really good in his limited time in the majors. Unfortunately he's been getting shelled in spring training and will be pitching half of his games in a HR launching pad, but it's not like any of my other keeper eligibles were a surer thing.

My place every year:
2016: ???, for a while have been 1st2015: 3rd, for a long while was 1st2014: 4th, was maybe briefly 1st2013: 3rd, was 1st for half the year2008: 14th lol I don't remember this
The point is: I'm definitely not ready to celebrate, EVER, until it's over
Also every year I've traded solid keepers to win and failed. CarGo in 2013; Baez, Chris Davis, Craig Kimbrel 2014; i guess none in 2015 but yeah... Harper in 2016 better fucking buy me that pennant

i tried that two years ago – the keeper sale – and boy did it blow up in my face. this year it's worked out better, but not worked quite enough.
would be p sweet of would could see the standings plotted out over the season.
