It may be in the rules somewhere but the draft snakes, correct?

Yeah, I guess I didn't put it anywhere, but yes it's a snake draft. It's not a keeper league so anything else wouldn't be fair

sterlingice · 03-04-2008, 10:17 AM

Red Sux and Exploding Methlabs have been kicked out of the league as I have no idea who they are and, talking with Celeval, he wasn't one. Also, DeTox Rox, could you also join up?

SI

Celeval · 03-04-2008, 10:19 AM

Yellow Jacket Envy has joined.

unless I am mistaken we post our picks in the thread

sterlingice · 03-04-2008, 10:33 AM

Yeah, Yahoo doesn't have the capacity for a slow, live draft on the free accounts. So, we'll be posting in the thread.

Ok, my fault for not reading.

I liked it last year.. that way we could see who has been taken.. I guess you'll find a away to make a chart or something?

Sublime 2 · 03-04-2008, 12:33 PM

I'm here, pick to follow shortly.

With an extra SP and P, I would think *42* would be just about right as if you have short lived starters, you could use that extra P for SP but with longer guys, you could go RP. Problems with injuries arise, of course, but realistically, even 5 starters should go at least 7 if not 8-10 times per week and average 5 IP per start.

How many pitcher slots do we have? I'm new to the league and the above says "Another SP has been added". I only see 1 SP, 2 RP, and 1 P slot.

Good call, checked the yahoo site and that's how it's listed as well, something funky is up. Can't remember offhand what we had last year but it was 2 each of SP, RP and P that we had to start on a weekly basis wasn't it?

Ok, that's really, really weird. It must have bork'd the settings when I went to change up the stats.

Here's how it should be and it's updated in rules post (or will be once I finish this post): SP, SP, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P.

1.6 Chase Utley 2B

sterlingice · 03-04-2008, 09:47 PM

Looks like MizzouRah will have until 9am tomorrow to make his pick as we officially get under way.

SI

sterlingice · 03-05-2008, 07:37 AM

C'mon, Todd, we all know who you have a mancrush on so pick Pujols so we can move on

SI

sterlingice · 03-05-2008, 07:39 AM

(not that we should need it, but to clarify, if we have to autopick, it will be by Yahoo O-Rank, not Rank as "rank" is just where the stats were last season)

EDIT: Good news. As long as I edit in the draft as we are making it (http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo....6/draftresults), then when you go to players page, you can just see who is left on the board and not all players. I think this is new to Yahoo this year. But the long and short is, it makes it easy to track who has and hasn't been taken on the "players" page and if you go there, you will see who is left (http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo....156646/players ).

SI

Lathum · 03-05-2008, 09:02 AM

Thank you. Really sorry, I'm running about 103 degree fever right now and finally worked up enough strength to get out of bed. Perfect pick!
