i think we're all gonna get more time to think about our picks. if the start of the season is delayed i might push back the draft date? maybe not? i'm not sure what to do or how long this could go on for.

I think we should just go ahead with the draft on that date tbh unless everyone else disagrees. Maybe it depends on whether or not Charles Barkley gave the Angels coronavirus I guess.
― omar little, Saturday, 14 March 2020 18:19 (four years ago) link
aside from the Charles Berkley part, i agree. best to stick with a date that, miraculously, no one has had an issue with and that would at least allow us to made trades and gaze longingly at our league-winning lineup.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 15 March 2020 12:58 (four years ago) link
my2cents: I'd prefer to push the date to reflect the season best we can.
― francisF, Monday, 16 March 2020 04:34 (four years ago) link
they're saying a delay could go back as far as July – and as more news comes in, the less i'm confident the US has the ability to handle this situation... maybe putting the draft on hold is the way to go.
would really appreciate more input. am gonna send out an email.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 16 March 2020 19:07 (four years ago) link
it's a bit of a risk someone gets screwed somehow, the larger the interim after draft I don't think theres anything to lose in delaying it, so why not do that
― francisF, Monday, 16 March 2020 19:24 (four years ago) link
i'm happy either way, as long as i get to pick 10-20 baseball men at some point this summer.
if they cancel the whole season i'll just make a pretend draft for myself and stare at it longingly til september.

If the NBA is looking to head back in June, with the playoffs extending into late summer, then baseball could easily be off until then too. The season would be maybe 100 games plus playoffs? With no transactions or new injuries between now and whenever the season starts up again, would anyone really draft differently if the draft was held now vs two months from now? But I'm fine either way.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 12:31 (four years ago) link
i think there is the potential injuries pop-up or maybe some teams don't get started on time due to sick players? there's so many variables at this point. i also think i would go insane looking at a fantasy lineup i couldn't do anything with.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 13:41 (four years ago) link
i don't think it'll make a huge difference but it's probably prudent to delay
― na (NA), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 14:06 (four years ago) link
yeah the thing i am most worried about is just 2 months of chances for catchers to injure themselves in luggage-related injuries (looking at you, both lucroy and perez, somehow)

I had the first two of my three drafts yesterday. It's like the ultimate fantasy draft because even the sports themselves aren't real!

― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 23 March 2020 19:44 (four years ago) link
i already did my other league's draft a week ago today (it is blowing my mind that that was only 8 DAYS AGO) so i'm actually excited about this one being delayed, can't wait to see the difference between what i valued on march 15th and what i value on an undetermined day in the future hopefully!

I stand by my previous comments! Do the draft. Get it out of the way. Have a roster to stare at.

― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Friday, 22 May 2020 19:59 (three years ago) link
it is apparently running now but i'm sure it can be reset and there will probably be no baseball this season anyways so whatever

Link?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 22 May 2020 20:17 (three years ago) link
Ya. For some reason I got no notification. I guess people who wanted a lineup to stare at got their wish!
I am doubtful there will be baseball this year, if they do try to start up, I will dump the auto draft results, set a date and plug in keepers for a redraft (which I hope is doable). I’m not sure I got picks from everyone but I will need them fast and furious if your picks are still MIA or you want to change them. I’d imagine we will know for sure in month.

Oh hmmm. I’ll have a look at wether yahoo will let us draft this late. The keepers I just input myself, that’s no problem.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 23:40 (three years ago) link
ok - i'm going to flush the teams, set up a draft date of July 19, say 4pm-ish. i think we had everyone's keepers in before? anyone possibly outstanding or changing their mind has until the 12th, when i will lock the teams and set the random, weighted draft order.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 24 June 2020 01:01 (three years ago) link
my keepers above stand
― na (NA), Wednesday, 24 June 2020 14:23 (three years ago) link
I'll continue with my chosen keepers, but reserve the right until the 12th to change them as we don't even know who's all playing? As in MLB players

Thanks Will I was curious as I have a few keeper-eligible players whose bdays are borderline to opening day and I know you've been flexible with that date in the pas.t
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 4 September 2020 16:43 (three years ago) link
Also you have the wrong Will Smith bday for my catcher (LA), you're using the Giants (?) RP with the same name.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 4 September 2020 16:45 (three years ago) link
ack that'll happen with identical names. one of these days i'll come up with a better fix than "changing one of their names to will smith2" but for now that'll have to do!
(also i'm not the commish, thermo is the one who is flexible i am just the KEEPER OF SHEETS)

I didn't think players went to waivers if you pick them up and release them before playing them.
BillyChildishBambino, are you placing multiple probable starters for today on waivers on purpose? I guess hoarding the others on your bench is okay, but geez

It's the last weekend: PPD weather is in play and many starts are in jeopardy depending on the playoff scenarios so I'm not taking any chances. That said, I'll probably hit my IP limit today and tomorrow will be a totally different story.

It appears that I have won this year's edition of the ILB fantasy league, a league that I created in the spring of 2003 and had never finished higher than 5th prior to this season.
Very few of my fellow managers remain from the inaugural season, but as the founder of this board and it's accompanying fantasy league, I thank all of you for participating.
