Still looking for one more person for a 6x6 roto league. Standard scoring, only with OPS and k/bb added and with QS subbed in for Wins. ESPN, $20 entry via leaguesafe. Veteran players but we're not taking this one too seriously.

We're doing an auction draft starting Saturday at 8 PM EST. If you're interested, send me an email at tristan.edward.abbott@gmail.com.

Auto draft auction is highly exploitable for the people in the draft room if they are dicks. They can basically dictate your team by having you draft overvalued players and leaving you scrubs for the rest.

I am happy with my team, I think

C: Gattis (15)
1B: Ortiz (22)
2B: Lawrie (4)
3B: Donaldson (30)
SS: Andrus (9)
OF: Trout (69), Blackmon (13), Calhoun (13)
Util: Bruce (15), Seager (15)
BN: Cuddyer (2), Segura (1)

SP: Wheeler (10), Ryu (10)
RP: Doolittle (5), Cecil (1)
P: Shoemaker (5), Bailey (7), Hutchison (4), Fiers (6)
BN: Farquhar (1), Qualls (1), Ottavino (1)

I paid a lot for Trout ($69), but I planned on getting him no matter what. I had no other plan, and I just grabbed guys. I stayed up an extra half hour so I could draft four relievers I will probably be dropping in the first month of the season.

Those draft projections are interesting to look at, but they totally go bonkers once people start filling out their bench. They'll count every bench hitter's full season production as part of your "stats" I think. Likewise for pitchers, although that makes a little more sense due to cycling guys in and out with daily moves.

I love reading about drama in Tout Wars and other expert leagues. I'm glad they have the same dumb arguments as the rest of us.

http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/my-tout-wars-recap-that-time-votto-angered-more-than-just-reds-announcers/

quote:

On my end, the draft didn’t start at 7:00 PM central as scheduled. There were no sounders and nothing was moving. At about 7:04, it jumped live to the 14th pick and I had been auto’d with Adam Jones. He is an unquestionably great player, but I wouldn’t necessarily take him there in a standard league with AVG and I certainly wouldn’t take him there in an OBP league.
...
I was thrilled when someone suggested rolling back to me. I wasn’t going to take Edwin Encarnacion or Robinson Cano – the two guys taken after me who would be rolled back. No one objected and I was free to make my actual selection: Joey Votto. Honestly, that pick seems to have drawn more ire than I would’ve seen had I been stuck with Jones.
...
For those of you certain that I could’ve gotten him rounds later: you’re wrong. First off, Rudy Gamble from Razzball already said he’d have taken him if I go Encarnacion. Even if you think Gamble is fibbing to make me feel better (and I don’t think he is at all), then I maybe could’ve gotten him in the second round, but no later than that.
...
[goes on to further defend the pick with many more words]

Yeah, I agree, it's just funny when experts feel like they're getting backed into a corner to defend something. He did really well in that first live draft, too (at least I think that was him I'm thinking of).

e: My guess is that we will never see Danny P actually play in this league after he looks at this team.
