A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Laika]

If there are clear mistakes in the pick order go ahead and fix them. I don't think anyone really cares about fourth round picks in this draft anyways. Draft picks under Other, turn commissioner mode on

[BTS]

My best read of the situation is that I'm supposed to have 4-9 (from Real Baseball Guys) and 4-10 (wOBA the Hutt), but there's no way for me to have acquired 4-4, which should belong to Mike's Bikes.

 

I've given P2F 4-4 back. I'm also sure he doesn't care about this.

[Fearthedoc]

I am curious what kind of prospect/youth haul I could get for Shane Bieber. Send an offer my way.

[z3r0s]

Anyone have a 3B for sale? Let me know who you got and what kind of return (now-guys, young roster players, prospects, picks) you prefer.

[BTS]

It's crazy how quickly Shane Bieber became the undisputed most valuable dynasty pitcher.

Pitchers are weird.

Was he even owned as a prospect? Crazy how multiple elite aces in the course of this league were (according to my memory) never even drafted as prospects. Kluber, Degrom, Bieber, Clevinger, Hendricks, maybe Lamet?

Any one want these picks for a 4th next season... 3-12 (52), 4-5 (65), 4-12 (72), 4-20 (80), 6-10 (110), 6-12 (112)

Perused the rosters for potential problems. An illegal roster will prevent you from being able to draft! If there was an issue like an ineligible player on your IL but you had open MLB roster space I just made the fix for you. Commissioners will make certain drops for people during the draft if their roster changes (say a player loses a red flag during the draft) but commissioners will not fix rosters that an owner did not make clean before the draft begins.

 

*You are responsible for your own rosters and my notes below may be incorrect - check yourself*

 

DDL Pre-Draft Roster Check:

 

Greenwood: Clean roster, 6 open MiLB spots + a few open MLB spots

Mike's Bikes: Clean roster, 3 open MiLB spots + one open MLB spot

Real Baseball Guys: 3 open MiLB spots + one open MLB spot Julio Teheran not eligible for minors and must be promoted or cut

Ten Cent Beer Night: 3 open MiLB spots + a few open MLB spots; I moved two non red flag players off your IL!

wOBA the Hutt: 2 open MiLB spots; Eric Lauer needs to be promoted or cut

 

(insert clever name): Clean roster, 3 open MiLB spots, one open MLB spot

Abom: Clean roster, 3 open MiLB and one open MLB

Seniors Circuit: Clean roster, 4 open MiLB and one open MLB

Speedy: 7 open MiLB spots; Chatwood needs to come of IL or be cut

Five Year Plan: Clean roster, 4 open MiLB and 2 open MLB

 

Burrito Boyz: 3 open MiLB; I moved Burch Smith off your IL

54's: 2 open MiLB spots right now and one open MLB; Pivetta and Richards are both not eligible for the minors anymore and must be promoted or cut

Taijuan On!: Clean, 2 open MiLB spots

EZe: 2 open MiLB; I moved Diaz and Montas off your IL!

True Cards: Clean, five open MiLB

 

25 year olds welcome: 6 open MiLB; I think you're clean. If Cano being on the IL creates an unexpected problem we can do a commissioner drop for you during the draft

No Soup for Yu: 4 open MiLB I think you're clean. If Chapman being on the IL creates an unexpected problem we can do a commissioner drop for you during the draft

Beach Cowboys: Clean, 3 open MiLB and one open MLB

WAR Pigs: Clean, 2 open MiLB

[Fearthedoc]

Promoted Lauer.

[Jimcanuck]

Wow, Rob Manfred doing a Connor empty the farm deal

[BTS]

Good trade. FTD would be understandably apprehensive about having so much value tied up in a pitcher while rebuilding, and Laika cashes in chips for the best pitcher in baseball as he’s about to contend.

Good analysis and basically spot on with what we both wanted. I did not want to waste some of the prime years of Bieber during my rebuild.

[Spanky99]

Blockbuster!

[Fearthedoc]

I'm looking to move Wil Myers if anyone has a hole at OF or UTIL. I know he's volatile, but he crushed last year and bats in a stacked lineup. Would like a decent prospect in exchange (or high pick)

[Laika]

Wow, Rob Manfred doing a Connor empty the farm deal

 

Tough to pull the trigger on this one but my farm is still in okay shape. Bieber is pretty insane and he's so young.

 

If two of the prospects turn into stars I might regret this but I think the likeliest scenario has Dominguez not living up to the hype and only one of Vaughn or Lux becoming a consistent fantasy star.

[JG34]

What was the trade for Bieber? I’ve had some offers and even though I’m not looking to trade him I’m curious what he could get me.

Bieber for Jasson Dominguez, Andrew Vaughn, and Gavin Lux

What do we have to cut our rosters down to again? 20 MLB level and how many for our minor league rosters? Sorry I can't find the exact number on the league page. Thanks.

26 MLB and 14 minors - there's no cut down anymore. But you need to clear spots for the draft before the draft room opens tomorrow.

Hello.

 

There are no cuts anymore. Full dynasty league with 26 man rosters and 14 man farms. You just need to have enough space before the draft for every pick you plan on using.

[jaysblue]

Ah alright thanks. So I could keep all 26 players technically if I wanted to but wouldn't have any waiver picks? So if I want to cut down to 20, I'll have 6 picks.

[BTS]

There isn't a waiver draft anymore. We're doing a LoD style NPD right now. Only guys with no MLB games are eligible.

[Spanky99]

Bieber for Jasson Dominguez, Andrew Vaughn, and Gavin Lux

 

High risk on both sides, this is quite the blockbuster! Should be interesting how that turns out.

[jaysblue]

Is my roster all good? Thanks!

[BTS]

Is my roster all good? Thanks!

 

Yeah. You have 4 minors spots and 2 MLB spots open, and no roster violations that would prevent you from making picks in the draft.

[Laika]

And we are off. I've upped the max roster to 27 during the draft only, in case the system makes you draft players directly to your MLB roster before you demote them

[Laika]

Note that you can create a queue in the draft room and auto-pick. I would highly recommend doing that, especially if you can't log in around the clock.

[BlueRocky]

Just need clarification. Will dropping a guy during the draft create an extra spot in the draft room?
