There are a couple of guys who signed MLB deals, not subject to spending limits, in the last year but they aren't in the database yet. The question, really, is what do we want to do with them, and a hypothetical Olivera signing which occurs just before our draft. The fairest process of talent distribution has us putting them in the draft now, but since they aren't in Yahoo it's kind of annoying for obvious reasons. Yahoo doesn't really put the young guys in the system so a 'database' or 'contract' based rule would both do the same thing for the kids like Moncada.
-
New rule: Only players that have been added to the Yahoo database prior to the beginning of the draft will be eligible. The lone exception to this rule is international free agents who have signed MLB contracts before our waiver draft begins, were not subject to international spending limits, but are not yet in Yahoo's system. Such players could reasonably be expected to spend a significant amount of time in the major leagues during the upcoming year so they will be included in our waiver draft.
-
I don't know if we've every decided on this rule, but is everyone in agreement that international free agents who are young enough to be subject to international spending limits (Moncada, Yadier Alvarez, Yoan Lopez, Roberto Baldoquin) are not Waiver Draft eligible? That's our line in the sand, right? Have we talked about this before?
-
No, I'll amend the rules so that it reads different.

Tomas slam dunk #1?
-
Sorry, I have the mods on ignore.

We'll just start on Sunday. Not in any rush.

Yup, KK owns him and kept him (list posted here). He accidentally selected Dan Hudson as a keeper on Yahoo which lead to the oversight.
-
SS/CF so should go high. #2 is too high for a guy with a projected wRC+ in the 80s though. Talent thins out in the first round so he should be top 15 or so.

BP ranks the Jays' farm 10th. Cubs Twins Dodgers Rangers Mets Red Sox DBags Pirates Rockies Jays ... 21. Yankees 22. Orioles 24. Rays

danglefactory is the site. I use it for 50/50s and enter the odd tournament by picking my own team (cheap goalie + linemates playing EDM or BUF, lol).

Cool, North goes TCA-TCA-Me to finish the last three weeks of the season. Divisional gauntlet. And TCA goes North-North-Dinger. I smell another 9th place finish...
-
BALCO twice for me. Probably the biggest rivalry in the division so it makes sense, but I also should not have made fun of BTS as he was making the schedule.

It's complicated but maybe you can run a simple regression to figure it out?
-
Scrap weeks 1 and 2 as rivalry weeks. Make 20 and 21 rivalry weeks. Every team plays every other team in the league once during weeks 1-19 (I think this is important for both fun and parity). In weeks 20 and 21, three teams from each division will get to play 2 division rivals (ideally random). The remaining two teams in each division will have to play 1 divisional game and 1 out-of-division game. I think it just has to be that ^ way with 5 teams per division.
-
It's annoying for sure...
-
There is one 93 on the spreadsheet and you own it now, so as far as I'm concerned that was the trade. Speedy owns 96 and thehurl owns 95.
-
The rules say that rosters are frozen between now and the waiver draft, but that's not really necessary. We'll just mandate that any trades of MLB assets be equal (1 for 1, 2 for 2, etc) so that the waiver pool is constant and unchanging right now. Waiver pick swaps should also be equal on both sides. We will continue our practice of "dissolving" any excess picks as soon as the first selection is made in the draft (only one person has an extra pick right now - Gibbers).
-
It can get tricky since we have 5 teams per division, so with an odd number of teams you can't just have certain weeks be 'divisional matchup' weeks. But if you tinker for a bit you can end up with something fair enough.
-
No.
-
Doesn't look like you can do a two week final right now with Yahoo. In the past we've set it up so that most teams play a division rival in the final week or two, and the teams that you play twice should be a division rival for the most part.

Waiver pick #65 was not existent on the spreadsheet. Originally it was KK's. Is it supposed to still be his or did he trade it to someone? 2015 Waiver Draft Order 1 GP 2 JF 3 BOX 4 GP 5 KK 6 TH 7 SAM 8 SPK 9 SPG 10 TF 11 ZRO 12 TCA 13 NJH 14 TH 15 DD 16 TH 17 TCA 18 TRM 19 TH 20 N49 21 GP 22 DD 23 SPK 24 HVK 25 KK 26 TH 27 SAM 28 SPK 29 SPG 30 TF 31 ZRO 32 TCA 33 NJH 34 JB 35 JF 36 SVG 37 BTS 38 TRM 39 SPK 40 N49 41 GP 42 JF 43 SVG 44 HVK 45 KK 46 JB 47 SAM 48 SPK 49 SPG 50 TF 51 ZRO 52 TCA 53 HVK 54 JB 55 DD 56 SVG 57 TF 58 TRM 59 FTD 60 N49 61 GP 62 JF 63 BOX 64 HVK 65 KK 66 SVG 67 SAM 68 SVG 69 SPG 70 BTS 71 ZRO 72 TCA 73 NJH 74 JB 75 DD 76 BOX 77 BTS 78 TRM 79 FTD 80 N49 81 GP 82 JF 83 BOX 84 NJH 85 KK 86 FTD 87 SAM 88 FTD 89 SPG 90 TF 91 ZRO 92 BTS 93 NJH 94 JB 95 DD 96 BOX 97 BTS 98 TRM 99 FTD 100 N49

No. I haven't tweaked it yet but congrats, it's your job now.
