Trade history says you dealt #25 in the Odor deal, but then got #22 in the deal for #5 with Dinger.

Look at me, shooting up the power rankings.

North is now a commissioner with edit privileges on Yahoo, PB, and the Doc. Elected officials now include: Me (The Chief) and Dinger and Boxy (together, The Darrell Triumvirate). BTS (The Norman Rep). No49 (The Howie Rep; The Keeper of League History). If there are any other groups of peoples that currently pay league dues but do not have political representation, feel free to send our newest commissioner a strongly worded letter. Now we should have a commissioner online at basically every hour of the day, except for the Spanky hours.

That would be pretty f***ing awesome if Aaron Sanchez pitches like a "Dellin Betances caliber reliever" this season. I'd have to put Norris above Karns, Franco, and Gonzales.

You can feel free to process anything. I'll probably add you as a nominal Darrell commish soon anyway so that I can take a small step back.

Brandon Maurer could also get optioned. Please use proboards for current list of picks. The Google Doc is not up to date.

Oh. Well then.

A baseball team would have to try really, really hard to embrace analytics less than an NHL or NFL org.

I'll gladly talk you into it

We're f***ing rolling now boys

Unless you want to mostly clear the space and move him for my 3rd rounder...

I'd give up something for him but not sure how we'd line up since you're a 2nd place team that probably has no use for my s***** surplus forwards

When we switch to 6 hour windows next round we'll start timing out between 2 and 7am. Right now it's just straight 12 hour windows. Raw and old school. Free. Pure.

Let me field some more offers first. I'll get back to you.

5:56 am.

I'd really like to move a forward for a Dman. Just has to be better than replacement level.

rough it's like all they did were little pull ups and fades for the last 12 possessions...

How about a low-ceiling longshot, like an Izturis brother?

that's because there is!

Just sent out official announcement that we are shortening the draft windows to six (6) hours in round 2. Clock will not tick in between 2am and 7am.

I agree.

They basically use these positions to steal intellectual property from naive young students, if it works out for them. If it doesn't work out, they have a coffee fetcher who gets paid what he's worth. Several posters here have done that job in the past, including HERPDERP and TheHurl (both ended up fetching a lot of coffee. So much so that TheHurl actually manages a Tim Hortons now).

6 hour windows with 1am-7am timeout starting in round 2.

As a spending limit affected guy, he would have gone into the prospect draft anyway. I'm thinking about tabling a vote on whether or not we should just amalgamate our two drafts starting in 2016. Instead of a 5 round waiver draft in Feb and then a 6 round prospect draft in June, we would just have an 11 round new player draft in February. Any real life player owned by an MLB team could be taken. Only players in Yahoo's system that hit AA or higher OR signed an international MLB deal could be drafted directly to the MLB team. International free agents that have signed MLB deals but are not yet in Yahoo's system could be drafted as prospects. All teams would be expected to finish the new player draft with a 25 man MLB roster, and since you still have to keep 20 players, the "vanilla" draft would consist of 5 MLB guys and 6 prospects (although trading after the cutdown date and during the draft could shift that ratio, for instance if someone trades an MLB player for a pick after the cutdown). Teams would have to announce whether the drafted player is going to their farm or big team (if it's not obvious). PROS: - One list of draft picks to manage and talk about in trades - Removes the "doubling up" of high picks that s***** teams currently get - Allows researchers to draft prospects after a partial season + full offseason of rankings and scouting reports. - No more awkward delineation between international free agents depending on age. CONS: - It would take longer. - It is a bit more confusing. - Kind of levels the playing field on research, so guys who read BA/BP etc. before the MLB draft lose some advantage. - The initial amalgamated draft would be super weak on prospects, since the best will all be taken this June 2015. ...
