Starting with mixed but we'll have a signup for only leagues (which would be run with FAAB in the standard manner.)

I would like to sign up for the AL and NL only auctions if/when you offer this option.

Thanks,

In the $150 DC league #2 it is becoming apparent we are going to have a major problem with placeholders. We are only in round 25 and have exhausted 5 placeholders already. I was in the Kenyon email 50 rounder and based on that draft board we will need 20-30 more placeholders to finish if not more. T...

Adding the players to the player pool is the most important. I took 4 placeholders myself in Slow Draft #1 which is too many. If these placeholders are added now, there will be few if any issues later. If not, I pity the person who has to sort all of the placeholders out before the start of the seas...

I am a Billy Butler fan but I am amazed at how high he is going. A DH only in this format really hurts roster flexibility and BB has issues in 2 categories. Can anyone justify this pick? He is not just a DH this year - 1B eligible I did not realize he got 20 games in at 1b, for some reason I though...

I would be interested in one or both depending on time/date...

Put me down for a $150..

I vote for no changes.

After watching his 2 starts he appears to be Dice-BB 2.0. He has faced two of the worst offenses in MLB and is afraid to throw a strike. If he was facing a league average lineup today he gives up 6-7 runs in 3+ innings. Just terrible. If his stuff isn't good enough to go after MLB hitters, this cont...

Is there any progress on dividing the 50 rounders bench into offensive players and pitchers?

This is sorely needed.

DOUGHBOYS wrote:No need to do lineups tonight.
These two games will be included in our lineups next week.

Thanks for the clarification.

Are lineups due tonight for just the Japan games or for the whole week? This is confusing and with the games starting at 4:00 we need to know to set our lineups tonight.

By far the best main event team I have seen posted so far. The pitching really fell into place for you. Well done!

Strausberg and Moore are being drafted very high considering their resumes. Are they being overvalued or undervalued based on their ADPs?

What was your role in the ESPN rankings summit? What ESPN rankings did you find yourself shaking your head over?

1. Name 1 top 20 starting pitcher you wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole?

2. What is your general approach to the catcher position in the 2 catcher leagues?

Now I understand why he takes 1-2 hours to make every pick. It must be incredibly hard to juggle 10+ slow drafts at the same time.

You're lucky, he took 4+ hrs for every pick in my last draft even during evening hrs.

1. When will you offer the LAST of the 50 round slow drafts? 2. How many spots will you pay in the overall slow draft championship if we reach 50-60 leagues? 3. A few years ago you offered some 12/13 team pay top 3 AL and NL only snake draft satellites; will you be offering them again this year? If ...

Good call on Cespedes.

Hopefully there are no eligibilty changes now that we are 25 or so drafts into the season, would be a tough break for slow drafters if changes are enforced now.

If he has a few good spring training starts he will go higher yet!

I'll wait for Tom or Greg to actually confirm if the slots have been picked. May be a whole to do about nothing since Greg said he would not run KDS until Monday morning. I'll check back later this pm to see if they have confirmed either way.

idk. I set mine as soon as I signed up. what pick is yours? not happy with it? I got pick #1 which would've been my 7th or 8th choice. I'm guessing the computer just randomly gives you a pick if you don't fill out your KDS preferences. I was able to fill out my KDS preferences in the league page so...

hi greg, add me to the list, please. ty greg churchill Okay, sorry I was out of touch last night but I was out with the kids. Time to reward them for good report cards!! ;) We had plenty of folks who wanted this last spot and thus we have a big jump on the next $150 Slow Draft League. I filled this...

Do we email our kds in or set them on our team pages? And when is the deadline sunday nite?

Thanks

I hope Huff is eligible at of or one of my DC teams will be very thin at of. Even replacement level players can be very valuable in non faab leagues. Hopefully the Huff owners dont pay for a possible Stats eligibility screwup.
