HGH and Centaur Paintings is back for another season. Greetings from  China, the sleeping baseball giant that will soon shake the MLB to its foundation with talent. Feel free to name your team after anything honoring this emerging superpower.  Stupid Special Rules There is a  fee, with the money divvied up 60/30/10 to the first, second, and third place teams respectively. Every year the winner has been paid so your ten dollars are safe with me.Mandatory 3 Keeper rule: You must keep 3 players before the draft, despite how lovely your roster is. If you don't keep three players I will select them for you based upon average draft position. This is an ESPN league with 80% goons in it. Scoring is Batting Average, HR, RBI, R, BBs, and SBs on offense. Ks, Wins, Saves, Holds, ERA, and WHIP on pitching. We use the Free Agent Auction System which results in hilarious overpays for waiver wire guys and dudes that get called up for one start and then sent back down. This is the current roster size. A couple seasons ago we added a 4th OF which helped prevent the glut of good OFs sitting on the waiver wire. DRAFT DATE: We're hoping to draft Sunday, March 24th at 8:00PM EST. This should minimize everyone drafting players who get injured the following day playing meaningless exhibition games. General Bullshit fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Mar 18, 2024 |

Does the draft date not work for anyone? I had an email asking to push it back an hour. I know we have some east coast people who would be up later. I could move it to Saturday instead of Sunday.

Either time is fine with me. Does this draft really take that long? I think I recall it taking like 90 minutes. That gets the East Coasters done at 9:30. Goons are getting old (myself included), but not THAT old.

Yeah usually we get done in like 90-120 minutes. The first couple rounds take a while and then it flies and everyone is yelling at each other for stealing a guy or forgetting someone was still available.

Well, poo poo. I'm not going to be able to be at home tonight, so I'll probably miss the draft. I have, however, entered my meticulously curated (lol) rankings into the ESPN thing, so we'll see what the system makes out of that. At least I won't be able to overrate a bunch of Cubs players. Can't wait to see my ragtag bunch of semi-injured players tomorrow lol.

Just a reminder to set your three keepers before the draft if not I will do it based upon ADP.

It's like when I thought NPB had the Ham Fighters and it turned out that Ham was part of the company name. coronaball posted:I normally put little stock in these draft grades, but last year it said I would be mediocre at best and that is in fact what happened. Now I'm concerned. Yeah in another draft it said I was going to be mediocre and I've never had that, it usually tells me my team sucks.

I would like to apologize to all the league members for not increasing the IL slot size. It's brutal this year.
