Adding new roster slot for Trash Can – 2020 ILX Fantasy Baseball!

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)

not if all the airports are closed!

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!

dang i saw this thread pop up and had a momentary panic like "shit did we not move the draft after all?"

You guys should just do it. It was fun!

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 just spent hours painstakingly recreating my other fantasy league in ootp please come back real baseball

might be time to bump that draft date again :/

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

apparently our draft starts in 30 minutes

uh wat

lol, for real? i took the day off randomly but i'm in no way prepared for this lol

i dont think our keepers are in either

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?

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?

Ya why not.

Can we even draft again? None of us have our keepers

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.

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.

my keepers above stand

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

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?

i added a new DL slot in the offseason – but I'll add one more for covid'ers.

Francis, you can't keep Woodruff.

aaaand I'm still missing picks from the managers for Mad Boone Rising, Blast First Petit and jesus beisbol.

jesus beisbol = sabathias theater on the google doc right

Yes. His keepers last year were SEAGER, HARPER, CASTELLANS, ALTUVE and FREEMAN.

sorry about the all caps, i was copy/pasting.

you can also, from our league page, go back to '19 and view the draft results and/or transactions.

LOFTONS & MUSSINA
Corey Seager (<27)
Roberto Osuna (<27)
Bryce Harper (27-29)
Jose Altuve (27-29)
Robbie Ray (27-29)

Thanks brah!

Blast First Petit

Rafael Devers (23)
Franmil Reyes (24)
Austin Meadows (24)
Noah Syndergaard (27)
Mike Trout (28)

Thanks!

nice. just one more to go!

only just noticed now Francis fixed his mistake *immediately* after his post.
so just waiting on Mad Boone Rising and I can enter our picks and set the draft order.

i take back what i said: Francis, you can't keep Pederson either!

oh whaat lemme take a look

I'm going in with 4 picks:

MACHADO, Manny 27
OZUNA, Marcell 29
GALLO, Joey 26
FLAHERTY, Jack 24

thx

has anyone seen or heard from Van Horn Street? not sure where he's at.

Mad Boone Rising is back! Sorry, things have been weird(as you may know)

Posting keepers in an instant

Ronald Acuna, 22
Yoan Moncada, 24
Francisco Mejia, 24
Rhys Hoskins, 27
Anthony Rendon, 29

Thanks man! I was honestly worried for a bit something had befallen you.

ok. Order is set and picks are in.

if anyone wants to check my work:

thanks

i don't mind having last pick but having back-to-back picks each time is going to be stressful

i do not feel prepared for this draft. but that somehow feels appropriate?

I changed my team name from Soto Voce to BillyChildishBambino

shitty q but it didn't occur to me to ask... is it too late to swap in luis castillo and aaron judge out as a keeper? no worries if it's a big pain in the ass

both age 27 (well judge is 28 now but was 27 in april) so it doesn't throw anything out of whack on that front
