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

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.

that was originally my plan for april.
if anyone wants to try an OOTP league, hit me up!

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.

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 19:40 (four years ago) link
dang i saw this thread pop up and had a momentary panic like "shit did we not move the draft after all?"
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Monday, 23 March 2020 19:43 (four years ago) link
You guys should just do it. It was fun!
― 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!
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Monday, 23 March 2020 20:15 (four years ago) link
i just spent hours painstakingly recreating my other fantasy league in ootp please come back real baseball
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Saturday, 28 March 2020 20:38 (four years ago) link
might be time to bump that draft date again :/
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Friday, 15 May 2020 22:49 (three years ago) link
I stand by my previous comments! Do the draft. Get it out of the way. Have a roster to stare at.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 15 May 2020 23:48 (three years ago) link
apparently our draft starts in 30 minutes
― na (NA), Friday, 22 May 2020 19:32 (three years ago) link
uh wat
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Friday, 22 May 2020 19:45 (three years ago) link
lol, for real? i took the day off randomly but i'm in no way prepared for this lol
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 22 May 2020 19:54 (three years ago) link
i dont think our keepers are in either
― 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
― na (NA), Friday, 22 May 2020 20:05 (three years ago) link
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.

are we going to try and have a fantasy baseball "season" based on the 60-game schedule?
― na (NA), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 21:28 (three years ago) link
Ya why not.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 21:53 (three years ago) link
Can we even draft again? None of us have our keepers
― TRANCED INTO RADIOACTIVE PUREE (Will M.), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 23:19 (three years ago) link
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
― francisF, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 17:03 (three years ago) link
i'd be shocked if we don't see some teams with serious outbreaks. and i still wouldn't give an actual season good odds.

Would it be possible to add a few IL slots for players on ICU ventilators?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 24 June 2020 17:21 (three years ago) link
i added a new DL slot in the offseason – but I'll add one more for covid'ers.
