Thanks for having me. First time doing any kind of fantasy league, though I’ve done the MLB the show franchise stuff before.

 

I will likely hold/stand pat for the next few days until I figure things out and get a chance to dive deeper into my roster.

 

Trade offers are welcome but I won’t be accepting any for now.

 

Hopefully I won’t be a complete disaster here lol.

Stang - only piece of advice is take your time with trades. Reach out to a board member who is not in BORED if you want to see if a trade is fair or foul.

 

Thanks for the advice

You’ll be fine. Take time to evaluate your roster, decide whether or not you want to try and compete or go through a rebuild. Then decide which guys you want to build around/trade.

 

Top 100 prospects hold a fair amount of value. Everyone likes first round picks and seconds to an extent. Picks after that start to lose value quickly IMO

 

The best teams usually have lots of starting pitching. 7-8 quality guys. Keep that in mind.

Haven't been able to find this info...

 

How exactly does player control work in this league?

 

If a player is on your roster, he’s yours until you trade or drop him.

You can keep guys on your farm there as long as you want. But once you promote to your MLB roster, cannot go back to farm unless the player gets a green flag i.e., demoted by the MLB team.

 

Unowned prospects can only be added to your team through the draft, or at 8 pm 2 days after MLB debut.

 

Players with MLB experience in the free agent pool can be added anytime.

Just to add to this.

 

There are times you might have a young green flag player who is eligible to be picked up on waivers and put on your MLB roster. The reason being, they got called up to the MLB for a cup of coffee and have played in a game, then they were sent back down.

 

When you click on the player, there is a drop down tab to the right and tabs that say stats, games etc. Click on the games to see GP MLB. If still not clear, just go to Baseball reference and see if you see any GPs on the MLB club.

 

Again, if a player has zero MLB games, don't claim them off waivers or you will get a waiver wire penatly. Jim allows no errors for newbies since I guess he was not given leeway in some other league.. ;)

So for example, Hoskins would stay on my roster for like 10 years until I drop/trade him even though he’s a free agent next season?

Yup. We have no salaries/contracts. The player is yours until you decide to move them.

No dumb questions Stang. We want you to have a full understanding of the league so feel free to fire away. I remember when I joined my first dynasty it was a lot to take in at first.

Draft runs like a well oiled machine for the most part. 6 hour windows between picks and windows freeze overnight. Message the next guy who’s up letting him know it’s his turn. There are usually guys good about notifying who’s next to keep it moving like Spanky and Jim
