A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Spanky99]

34+ picks in the first 15 hours is pretty good

 

Even with sleepy guys, lol.

 

Woke in time for two Leaf goals.

[Spanky99]

There's a line of green waiting behind you, sleepy.

 

I didn't take long. Like at all.

Bump for Speedy. Wake up and log in buddy.

Ideally he'd take one of the 2 guys I keep flipping on, so I don't have to make the choice and pick the wrong one.

A bump usually wakes me right up

School must be out by now...

I feel like I’ve spent 10% of my adult life waiting for JB to draft

Looking to trade pick 89 and 92 for a 4th rounder, kindly send offer to Real Baseball Guys.

 

Also a couple guys are available if offer is decent:

- Keone Kela

- Matt Barnes

- Ross Stripling

- Lewin Diaz

- Randal Grichuk

- Jackie Bradley jr

I was reading the league setup page and I believe that if your MLB roster is full the player automatically gets placed in the minors. I set the max roster size back to 26 because of this. I don't think we need a temporary 27 man roster after all.

 

Regarding the "Skip pick if timer runs out" option being the default in the DDL but not in the other league... I think this must have been changed to a premium option by Fantrax because I would not have picked any premium options when setting up the league. Despite having the box ticked I don't think it is considering the DDL to be a premium league right now. Kind of weird.

Spanky you around? Why would it say this:

 

System skipped pick for Taijuan On! in round 3 - Reason: Unknown Reason (?) (9:55:22 PM)

 

Did you have someone set to auto draft and it didn't work?

Maybe someone set to auto draft that didn’t have a green flag? His roster is full, but his minors isn’t.

Hmmm maybe.

 

I reversed the draft by one pick so we can work out the bug. I emailed Spanky to let him know he's on the clock. It will be good to know either way, for the future.

Can anyone Facebook or text Spanky? Catch him before the quaaludes kick in...

Yeah, I had Daniel Cabrera queued up. I just tried again and this is the message...

 

You cannot make that pick because it will cause your team to have an illegal roster for the following reason(s):

Period 1 (Apr 1, 2021):

The maximum number of 26 total player(s) will be exceeded.

How rude?!

[Spanky99]

Tried again from my queue, same error and it skipped me again. IDK.

 

ETA: I want Daniel Cabrera, thanks.

Oops...

[Laika]

Okay, so I guess we need the temporary 27th roster spot. Auto pick doesn't seem to put the player directly into the farm if the MLB roster is full.

 

I backed up the draft and gave you Cabrera, Spanky.

 

The computer also autopicked you an MLB player momentarily? Not sure why it would do that.

 

But we are moving again

[Laika]

One thing that needs to be said: When you are at 26 MLB + 14 MiLB (ignoring the IL) you can't make any more picks, even though Fantrax will let you make one more because we temporarily expand rosters to 27. Once your clock starts on any extra picks a commissioner might skip the pick and move on.

 

If you notice that a pick takes you to 26 + 14, let us know you are done. You can still try to trade future picks but when they come up they will be skipped.

 

I want to avoid people unknowingly picking up a "27th man". It doesn't really matter - they would just have to drop someone after the draft - but there is a chance that the extra draft pick would snipe somebody which is the only problem.

Thanks... I'm full, done for the draft.

 

These picks available for a '22 pick... 4-12 (72), 4-20 (80), 6-10 (110), 6-12 (112)

Honestly, the draft room kind of f***ing sucks. Some major flaws:

 

- The fact that it locks adds/drops during the draft. Commishes are left on the hook for cleaning up illegal rosters, when in the past owners would just do their own maintenance, because they were prevented from making adds if their roster was illegal.

- The function for skipping expired picks is wonky.

- Picks that are skipped can't be made, and commishes have to process them manually instead of owners just adding their guy when they log in.

- Rosters have to be expanded by one because the draft room doesn't let you add players directly to the farm.

In the FC we just pay for premium and none of these issues occur. 5 bucks a head is f*** all.

Yeah I'm not sold anymore. It is having the main desired effect of moving the draft along but the cumulative effect of the things you noted means it is more hands-on for the commissioners than I had hoped. The nice things about the spreadsheet system are that it's a) completely adaptable and the draft can basically be community policed and everybody collectively helps run it.

I guess that's on the table too. We will look into it before 2022. I don't care about the money, I would just pay it and people could reimburse me in Dogecoin if they want. There might be some non-draft related premium options we have been avoiding that we could then use.

I am done for the draft. Skip away!

[BTS]

Another minor annoyance I just found: when you skip the pick of someone who is OTC, the next guy just inherits their remaining window instead of getting a fresh 12 hours.

You can change it to the proper time in the Draft Room?

I’m done, too

Does premium solve all these problems? Looking at the options it wouldn't.

 

Could always suggest these changes to Fantrax? Might be looked at in some future time.

Looking at the team currently on the clock, they have 26 roster and 14 farm. With a guy to come off the DL, but also a red flag they can put on the DL.
