Laika Community Moderator Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 To be completely fair to the Twins, Brian Dozier exists and they were 7th in MLB in FB% last year. Perhaps it is just Kepler who is dumb. And Buxton - I've read in other places that his approach is super old school and awful. And yes of course, players like DJLM who have decidedly below average power should probably not max out their FB rate. Kepler has pop though.

Laika Community Moderator Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Miggy is so locked in already that he's literally murdering babies Bernie Pleskoff @BerniePleskoff Home run to right/center field for Miguel Cabrera-his first of the spring. Hit a small child sitting on the berm in the head.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Ok, Miggy is officially OFF the trade block!
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Ok, Miggy is officially OFF the trade block! Surprising. I thought you would try and offload him before they reach a verdict on the murder charge.
TRM Verified Member Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Speaking of criminals, elite hitting 3B and elite DUI expert Jung Ho Kang still OTB for a SP.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Speaking of criminals, elite hitting 3B and elite DUI expert Jung Ho Kang still OTB for a SP. But why go for a drunken rapist when you can have Mike Moustakas for the same price?! PM me bros
Laika Community Moderator Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 I think I just broke the league. I was fiddling with the roster settings to see if you can add BN spots after a league drafts (trying to think of ways to reduce auction time in the new league.) I switched our BN slots to 10 and added some players to test. Turns out you can. I then dropped the players and went to switch it back to 6. Nope. You can only add BN slots after the draft. Seems like there's no way to reduce it without resetting the league. And it even says this in the fine print of the commissioner tools... Sooooo we might have to reset the league and re-add everybody's roster lol. In my defense, this is a really stupid technical limitation that should not exist
Laika Community Moderator Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Saved today's rosters: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15xd1v6IbtyDrTBxks1ZLQj9OLbwu5YiChPb3wXBmc7s/edit?usp=sharing. I'll probably reset the league tonight and see what happens. My big worry is that resetting the draft will delete our old league histories, somehow. Edited March 9, 2017 by Laika

BTS recovered the league history in BORED somehow... talk to him if it buggers up. Seems Yahoo is down at the moment, read only mode.
Laika Community Moderator Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Reset the league. History is still there. I put in 50% of the rosters through the offline draft before Yahoo went into "read-only mode" and prevented any more input. I'll finish up tomorrow. Rosters will probably be 98% correct. I'll ask everyone to make sure their roster matches the March 8th save tomorrow.

Laika Community Moderator Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 If any other commissioners are up late and Yahoo exits read-only... Commissioner Tools >>> Submit Draft Results The tool is actually pretty quick. It only takes ~2 minutes per team. The archived rosters are six posts up ^^^

Probably just time to fold the league anyway

Laika Community Moderator Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Okay, the league is reset. I was able to enter the majority of the rosters through the offline draft tool. Please check your roster via https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15xd1v6IbtyDrTBxks1ZLQj9OLbwu5YiChPb3wXBmc7s/edit#gid=1654393122 and let us know if there are any missing players or errors so we can fix. I was only able to enter 25 players so teams with NA stashed players right now might be missing a guy. Also, some recent trades might not be processed. I just need to fix waiver priority. Honour system - who made a waiver claim after the draft? Players right now are back on waivers for fairness. They'll process Saturday. After that, business as usual.

I'm one of the guys with a NA player stashed. So I'd probably be missing a player. I just don't know who. Edit: It's Zach Godley. Should I just re-add him when the waiver thing clears up?
BTS Community Moderator Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Edit: It's Zach Godley. Should I just re-add him when the waiver thing clears up? You probably shouldn't, TBH.
TRM Verified Member Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 So I'm missing Brandon Crawford, but I think there's gonna be an issue. Before this happened, I had Blanton sitting in my NA. I put him there before he signed with Washington. This allowed me to have 26 players, and I was putting off making a decision until I needed to. Now Blanton is on my bench though, and I can't force him back into NA, so I'm kind of SOL here. Can anyone with a brighter mind than I think of a solution? Or am I just pooched.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Pretty sure I used a claim on Glover.

Maybe just leave Crawford in FA agency for now and no one touches him until you make a roster move for Blanton?

Solution: accept the L and drop Bettis or Nolasco.
TRM Verified Member Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Solution: accept the L and drop Bettis or Nolasco. I find this suggestion inadequate.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 If NJH cost me Ricky Nolasco, I know I'd hold a grudge forever.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Maybe just leave Crawford in FA agency for now and no one touches him until you make a roster move for Blanton? Seems like the best solution.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 You probably shouldn't, TBH. Ya, just checked out his spring training stats. Not too impressive. But he added 4 MPH on his fast ball, so I thought I'd take a shot
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I added Quintana who went back to Gryffindor in the reset. Not sure who he needs to fill that spot
