I think you're looking at the wrong spreadsheet! I linked the correct one a few posts down, here it is again -

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yncy5eLVvjxmnFcXEivwwiwagqiJc8L6kBPHtp4AC_w/edit?usp=drivesdk

Now THAT makes more sense. Sorry everyone. More to follow later.

Sorry about linking the wrong thing guys.

so we have 7/13 teams so far?

itll be 7 once we hear back from jimmie l!

still waiting on the managers of

votto get no enemy (✖, youve been in the thread so i know u seein this!)
mad boone rising (vhs i think? might need to email those picks. my email is on the League -> Managers page of the fantasy league)
luv wil teheran us apart (notimebeforetime)
burn your fire for no jeffress (omar little)
holla tuivalala/last of the molinas (bnw)
billy childish gambino (albert r broccoli)
keonisqaatsi/any kestons?/wow my team sucks (jimmie)

iirc a couple of these folks are no longer rly on board so we might need to reach out. lmk if you want me to start emailin

making a messageboard post, hopefully that'll wrangle all (most?) of the slowpokes. keeper deadline is tomorrow!!

Will - the draft isn’t until the 3rd, so we don’t need picks until the 27th. Can you correct the post in our league page?

ah ok. i cant seem to edit the message so i just replied to it. (unless you meant edit somewhere else, like this thread, which i cannot do because i am v much not a mod)

Even if it was just one game, I sure did hate giving money to the Ricketts family today.

revised for me

before I post my list of keepers that actually might be the worst this league has ever seen, I just wanted to express how much I dislike player trading in our league. I just wish there was a platform we could use to throw ideas back-and-forth as the season progresses instead of having to throw a trade at someone (that you are then beholden to), or taking it to email or whatever.
ok, that's off my chest.

I like the idea of 2B > XBH,
I like SB > NSB
I don't think I'd support any defensive stats at this stage
I would like to get rid of QS because I think the "no 3rd-time through the order" mentality has diminished its relevance
big no to No-hitters or Cycles, etc.

Longmont Potion Castellanos:

B Arozerena
B Buxton
B Glasnow (i know)

I want to express my appreciation for the spreadsheet, thank you

isn’t that what the Trading Block is theoretically for?

yes, to an extent.
i just think communication between managers could be simpler. it's nbd really

Luv Will Teheran Us Apart keepers:

Bo Bichette (24)
Dylan Cease (26)
Shohei Ohtani (batter) (27)
Jared Walsh (28)
Alex Bregman (28)

Ya, keeping the trading block updated I think is a good way to communicate what everyone is looking for in deals - and this avoiding the really stupid, off-the-mark offers.
And people will drop in here too, to announce when they are especially looking to get a deal done, which I think works well.

And I guess I will make this official: will dump XBH and replace with 2B. Adjust your cheat sheets accordingly!

Is Xander Bogaerts keeperable for bnw? Only asking because I had traded him to Will last season who then traded him awhile later, I just want to know if the rule had changed and I missed it.

I don’t know his age, but trading a guy a bunch doesn’t affect his keeper-ability-ness.

yeah I’m not sure why I thought that a second trade would nullify it but I may be thinking of another league

I only trade for old men obv

Votto No Get Enemy*

Vlad Guerrero Jr (23)
Ke'Bryan Hayes (25)
Corey Seager (27)
Joey Gallo (28)
Bryce Harper (29)

*was gonna change this but tbh i'm awful at puns and unreasonably proud of this one

so i guess we're just missing VHS's (Mad Boone Rising) selects. once i have them, i can enter everyone's picks/draft order etc.

so it looks like VHS totally tuned out half way into the last season. does anyone know him irl? should i assume he's lost interest?

Ok. Mr Van Horn emailed me and is unable to join us this year.
Keepers of note:
Luis Robert
Acuna Jr!

oh wow! pitching ohtani too if i remember correctly?

*checks notes* – this is correct. also: Sixto Sánchez.
and with this infusion of young talent into the draft, I am very fucked by the draft order (to be revealed soon)

is it random order this year or based on reversing last year's ranks?

guess i should start thinking about this draft

same as last couple years - weighted random.

i'm entering picks now – and I don't know why, but i thought Joe Musgrove was like a million years old... he's 29?!

also just realized Omar is keeping the entire Milwaukee Brewers rotation!

Ok freaks and geeks, selects are in. please to be double checking my groggy work on the draft results page here

so.... i'm going to assume everyone's good with the picks i entered? no one at all bothered by the number of Albert Pujols' on their team?

Once again I am scrambling to just do-not-draft a bunch of guys before a disastrous auto-draft.

i am probably going to begin our draft while finishing my other one and fully expect to make some rushed, bone-headed calls out of the gate!

Conversely, I will be fully present and focused for the entire draft and will have nothing to blame but my own foolishness at the end

good draft everybody!

link to the google sheet where you can see who is keeper eligible for 2023, because it's never too early to give up on this year and look to the future, right? i'll keep the drops updated as often as possible.

Corbin Burnesen:

C - Perez
1B - Belt/Y Gurriel
2B - Cronenworth/Lux
3B - Turner/Dalbec
SS - Tatis Jr/Swanson
OF - Stanton/Alvarez/Schwarber/Ozuna
SP - Cole/Burnes/Woodruff/Peralta/Anderson/DeSclafani/Gray
RP - Hendriks/Jansen

I have so much multi-position eligibility on my team that figuring out how to write this was a struggle, but...

WanderVision

C.. Carson Kelly
1B. Kris Bryant (1B, 3B, OF)
2B. Max Muncy (1B, 2B)
3B. Wander Franco (3B, SS)
SS. Trea Turner (2B, SS)
OF. Ronald Acuna
OF. Mookie Betts (2B, OF)
OF. Eloy Jimenez
UT. Josh Bell (1B, OF)

B1. Austin Meadows (OF)
B2. Trent Grisham (OF)
B3. Brendan Rodgers (2B, SS)
B4. Alex Kirilloff (1B, OF)

S1. Shane Bieber
S2. Aaron Nola
S3. Yu Darvish
S4. Michael Kopech
S5. Hyun Jin Ryu
S6. Chris Sale
S7. Mike Clevinger

R1. Ryan Pressly
R2. Edwin Diaz

Bell was OF eligible?!
Your team has the kind of positional flexibility I dream about at night.

Are We The Baddoos?:
C: Yasmani Grandal
1B: Joey Votto
2B: Ozzie Albeis (k)
SS: Francisco Lindor (k)
3B: Manny Machado
OF: Bryan Reynolds
OF: Jesse Winker
OF: Jarred Kelenic (k)

Bench
2B, SS, 3B, OF: Chris Taylor
SS: Brandon Crawford
C: Alejandro Kirk
OF: Riley Greene

SP1: Max Fried
SP2: Jack Flaherty (k)
SP3: Alek Manoah
SP4: Shane McClanahan
SP5: Jose Urquidy
SP6: Adam Wainwright

RP1: Paul Sewald
RP2: Diego Castillo
RP3: Anthony Bender

I may have overdone it with targeting high OBP guys.
I def reached for Manoah and Greene (I was lucky McClanahan fell as far as he did), and Reynolds + Winker are solid over-27 options. Liking my keeper option in a season I figure I’d have to retool (wanted to hedge my bets with Lindor, Kelenic and Flaherty)

xp i was surprised too re: bell!

i didn't even aim for this positional eligibility, just kinda ended up where people fell to me. by the end i was legitimately confused as to what positions i needed to draft backups for. i'm still not sure!

congrats to BCB on the dominant win! at the least the competition for 2/3/4 was interesting. my big trade didn't really pay off but no regrets.

Congratulations BCB, you led nearly wire to wire with by far the best team and it really wasn't close.

My team kind of muddled around all year -- a bunch of good but not great seasons, never managed to cobble together a decent outfield or bullpen. My keepers for next year should still be good so hopefully I can bounce back.

late congrats to the dominant BCB squad. maybe we should do a weekly setup next year to avoid that kind of runaway? just a thought
