Nick, so it's Champ... Division Champs(they get the top 4 seeds going into the playoffs)... Win PCT then right? Please tell me it is... everything's updated to that format.

 

No. Winner picks 20th, the lottery decides 1-5, but everything else is final regular seasons standings. Honestly Spanky, just log off and have a beer.

[Laika]

I think I have updated the picks correctly.

 

The only thing I can't reconcile are picks 3-14 and 4-14. There is a Fantrax trade that has them going from orgfiller to zeros, but these should be Dinger's picks and I can't find a record of him ever dealing them to orgfiller.

 

Is it possible 3-14 and 4-14 should still be Dingers and Orgfiller meant to deal different 3rd and 4th rounders? Please advise accordingly. This might have been caused by a problem with the pick order when the league was initially set up.

 

Everyone else please check your stupid picks.

Did you factor in the Skaggs comp pick?

[Laika]

Did you factor in the Skaggs comp pick?

 

No, but it won't factor into the picks on Fantrax anyway. We just slide the comp pick into our list when we do the draft.

[The Cats Ass]

Makes sense.

[Spanky99]

Yeah, but that's it right, you traded 6-7 MILB to Org, thanks. The original WW was wrong with Dinger's and FTD's draft slot mixed up, also. I've got it figured out.

FTD sent them to Org, Org sent them to zeros, voila.

Also, I f***ing know that, do division winners get priority over winning percentage, they rank them 1-4 in the standings, f***.

[The Cats Ass]

Could move an OFer. One of Blackmon, Mazara, Upton, Calhoun.

 

Cut candidates Engel, Sergio Romo, May, Plutko, Rogers can all be had for dirt cheap.

[BTS]

Current chopping block:

 

Robinson Chirinos

J.P. Crawford

Hunter Pence

Jose Urena

Zack Britton

Amir Garrett

Rafael Montero

No they f***ing don't you goddamn tricycle. Playoff seeding is not the standings.

I've given 3-14 and 4-14 to Dinger and 3-17 and 4-17 to z3r0s, which seems like the correct solution.

[Spanky99]

No they f***ing don't you goddamn tricycle. Playoff seeding is not the standings.

 

That's what I was asking? Ya fekkin bike. lol

[Orgfiller]

I'm trading Cal Quantrill to Abom along with my fourth round waiver for his first round waiver (#4 overall). Abom to confirm.

 

I don't believe waiver picks are on Fantrax right?

 

I own Abom's #4 waiver and he owns my fourth rounder.

[Boxcar]

Regular season. Lost in the finals. So not sure what that means?

 

I know we started using the regular season rankings for the draft after Boxy benched his team in his only playoff appearance ever. Kind of makes sense that the actual champion gets 20th though.

 

I benched my team in the dumb consolation round. People were pearl clutching hardcore after that one.

[Dr. Dinger]

I vote for a flat lottery for all non-playoff teams. Incentivize competitiveness.

lol there are no payrolls here; everyone is trying to win, some are just bad at it.

I don't think that's unreasonable. A complete teardown a good pick isn't fun for anyone.

[Dr. Dinger]

This is patently false. I know, because I tanked, albeit for one season as opposed to Boxy’s 5.

Similar to what we have in WTPDL? Or maybe a lottery for the top 3 picks with various odds going to non playoff teams, after those the top 3 are decided all the rest fall in line depending on win %. So the worst place the bottom team could pick would be 4th. Or have the top 5 or whatever picks lottery.

No. 100% flat. Same odds for #9 as #20.

This isn’t a terrible proposal

[Laika]

The point of the lottery isn’t to incentivize losing, it’s just to distribute better assets to the worst teams for the sake of long term parity.

It doesn't have to be the point if it's the side effect.

[Laika]

Anyone know if having our "offline draft" as incomplete for half of the year will affect whether or not the league will actually function?

 

I'm a bit worried that without "finishing the draft" the league will just not work right.

 

If that's the case we might need to track the June draft picks manually for this summer and then move to a comprehensive NPD to replace the Wavier and MiLB drafts for 2021.

I’ve been wondering this too. I’ll ask Fantrax.

[Laika]

We could think about turning the DDL into an actual dynasty league. No more cut deadline and waiver draft, just a year round 25 man roster, dynasty style. It could function like the LOD but a 20 team version with our scoring categories and smaller farms.

 

Big changes sure but I would invite them. Our "waiver draft" is kind of stupid lol.

I’ve wanted this for years but haven’t said anything. The intent was to redistribute talent, but nothing of much value hits the waiver draft anyway. LoD has had no issues with talent being too concentrated. Successful rebuilds happen, and it’s a 30-team league.

[BTS]

I also like the idea of end-of-roster players carrying a bit of trade value.

Unless you luck into an Ohtani or Darvish year with the 1st pick. I've picked up some guys from the waiver that ended up as keepers. Matt Boyd for one. But smart in-season pickups have been of much more value.
