We could think about turning the DDL into an actual dynasty league. No more cut deadline and waiver draft, just a year round 25 man roster, dynasty style. It could function like the LOD but a 20 team version with our scoring categories and smaller farms. Big changes sure but I would invite them. Our "waiver draft" is kind of stupid lol.
-
Anyone know if having our "offline draft" as incomplete for half of the year will affect whether or not the league will actually function? I'm a bit worried that without "finishing the draft" the league will just not work right. If that's the case we might need to track the June draft picks manually for this summer and then move to a comprehensive NPD to replace the Wavier and MiLB drafts for 2021.

The point of the lottery isn’t to incentivize losing, it’s just to distribute better assets to the worst teams for the sake of long term parity.
-
This isn’t a terrible proposal
-
lol there are no payrolls here; everyone is trying to win, some are just bad at it.
-
I've given 3-14 and 4-14 to Dinger and 3-17 and 4-17 to z3r0s, which seems like the correct solution.
-
No they f***ing don't you goddamn tricycle. Playoff seeding is not the standings.
-
No, but it won't factor into the picks on Fantrax anyway. We just slide the comp pick into our list when we do the draft.
-
I think I have updated the picks correctly. The only thing I can't reconcile are picks 3-14 and 4-14. There is a Fantrax trade that has them going from orgfiller to zeros, but these should be Dinger's picks and I can't find a record of him ever dealing them to orgfiller. Is it possible 3-14 and 4-14 should still be Dingers and Orgfiller meant to deal different 3rd and 4th rounders? Please advise accordingly. This might have been caused by a problem with the pick order when the league was initially set up. Everyone else please check your stupid picks.
-
No. Winner picks 20th, the lottery decides 1-5, but everything else is final regular seasons standings. Honestly Spanky, just log off and have a beer.
-
Not sure why I thought you won! Pathetic. I messed up when doing the new 2020 pick allocation then. Will fix later.
-
If TCA won the league he's 20th.
-
It sounds promising, but we'd have to put draft amalgamation to a vote so at best this is a change for down the road.
-
Okay, I guess Norris counts. I don't think Jeff was quite there. Barreto was a backend top 100 prospect with helium when the trade happened.
-
switched it back to an offline draft it looks like the 2021 picks that had already been dealt are still recorded? the 2020 picks are just in the standings + lottery order. we will have to pick through and fix for all the trades that have happened. Not that much work since it's all on the spreadsheet, less any trades that happened since Fantrax but those would be in our emails and or the transaction history.
-
Neat idea but I don't want to pursue it right now. Doing the waiver draft stuff manually is not a big deal; picks don't get traded that often and we have all the time in the world in February. I think people like having the prospect draft in the summer, it's kind of nice to have it in the context of the real life draft.
-
Okay so prospects traded by Toronto who were ranked in the top ~50 in context are just Syndergaard, d'Arnaud, and probably Steve Karsay. The first 2 were in one of the worst if not the worst trade in Blue Jays history, and Karsay was for Rickey Henderson in an eventually successful World Series push.
-
Not the worst idea - sign the skinny Guerrero. "why can't you look like this, hmmm?"
-
Okay yeah, Syndergaard would be close and d’Arnaud in context was better I guess. Good illustration though - hard to even imagine Toronto trading Groshans in a deal like that with this young team. They’ll just let Groshans develop and then join the fold. There’s no “window” here and even if there is it’s like six years wide
-
Every GM of every team would always say that they may use the farm to improve the team by trade. There's a difference between using the farm to trade for talent and trading an elite prospect like Groshans. Correct me if I'm wrong but trading Groshans right now would maybe be Toronto trading the best prospect they've ever dealt in their history (in context, not looking back)???
-
Really I have no idea where you would get this dumb thought from. One rumour that they checked in on Lindor? When has this Toronto regime ever signalled that they were interested in selling futures?
-
wait, can you set up a "live online" draft with a draft room through fantrax but make the pick windows huge and have fantrax email the owners when they are up? is that what he was trying to do for the waiver draft? actually not a terrible idea but it wipes out our draft pick tracking so it would only be possible if we were doing a NPD like in the LOD
-
lol spanky you f***ing moron i've revoked his commissioner access - i take full responsibility for that because why the f*** would i make everyone a commissioner when one of us is spanky can fantrax just restore our league to what it was on Jan 21? any idea?
-
someone changed it to a live draft for some dumb reason. probably spanky
-
One of the reasons I love what Fangraphs is doing now with prospect stuff. It's free, there is huge coverage, and it's systematic. On their prospect board from 2019 update: 1 --> 70 2-3 --> 65 4-14 --> 60 15-37 --> 55 38-106 --> 50 So prospects 38 to 106 were the same grade!
