Who is taking that last spot so we can start drafting tonight?

Gaëtan

Hi Greg,
Is this a mistake or the second place overall is making 5000 less?

Gaëtan

Greg, I must have multiple accounts as I have 0$ in the one I opened. It seems that I will need assistance. Gaëtan Gaetan, it says $0 until you claim your prizes. There is a down arrow next to the $0. Click there and pull down to Claim Prize. Then click the blue buttons for all the leagues you won ...

Greg,
You are absolutely right I assumed the worst and that is not right, I must apologize to you, Tom and all.
Basically, I just hope the FAAB as much painful as it was, won't go away...if it does, this will only be another DC format.

Sorry again Greg
Gaëtan

Draft 40 or 42 and no FAAB is just another version of DC. I don't think we address the right issue. FAAB would not be that painful with a better tool. There is a new tool on the way, right, so why not test it and see how it make dit better for us. Then if the tool is not what we thought or not as pe...

Funny, checked last year, exact same numbers, 6 of 25 winners (including wild card) ... Based on preSpring training drafts / I used Feb 15 as the Cutline. I know we have not seen much of Spring training by Feb 15 but still...

Let's at least debunk the notion it's better to draft late. 10 January drafts, 2 top-20 finishes, 20 percent of drafts had top-20, 1st, 6th 34 February drafts, 8 top-20 finishes, 24 percent of drafts had top-20, 5th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 20th 80 March drafts, 10 top-20 finishes, 13 pe...

Just checked, of the 25 money winners, 6 have drafted Feb 15 or earlier. Lower than 25%

How about: 1 FAAB round in June and add more rounds in the draft - 40 and maybe as high as 45 more or less draft rounds 0 FAAB round but maybe a 50 rounds draft. Considering 10 teams league per drafts, the pool of players would still be quite interesting til round 50. At 50 rounds, pretty sure we wo...

Lots of opinions, which is what I like. Keep them coming. We appreciate all of them and I'll gladly address each point once we get more thoughts. The idea is to get a wide range of opinions to make this contest better and make it GROW. We may not have the perfect concept now, but that's why we soli...

So, against what would be anyone's rational judgement, I am heading back to the west coast to Northeastern Washington state and may have to stay over a weekend. Of course, the Mariners are in Houston that weekend, so I might head up to Vancouver since I have never been. Anybody got any touristy-typ...

In the "this one looks like a great matchup" category:

Bridwell facing Oakland back to back after a run of 8 of 9 starts with 2 or less earned Runs

Result: 13 ER in 6 innings

Corbin facing San Diego after a run of 2 ER in the last 35+ innings pitched

Result: 8 ER in 4 1/3 innings


Gates

You were really close actually. We live 5 minutes away from the airport, in Dorval. Next time. You can eat anything you want in Montreal, with Poutine of course

Gaëtan

Damn Wayne
Should have told me you we're in MTRL, could have help you with French
Nothing beats listening to a baseball game in French

Gaëtan

Thanks
Much appreciated...

Gaëtan

Greg,
Would it be possible to get the owned percentages for both Cutline's competition?
It would be fun to easily see who of our players can make a difference.

Thanks
Gaëtan

Never mind, just saw where it's coming from....nice cool pictures too bad I can't seem to be able to copy some over here.

Very cool!!
Wayne, why a White Sox jersey?

Gaëtan

Enemies to the East, enemies to the West, enemies to the South, enemies to the North, what ever comes our way, we will defeat it...Happy 2nd half of season or happy season 7...Enjoying the ride... Good luck all...

Damn Wayne, you really know your hockey!!!

Yes, a season-long hockey contest is in the works for the 2018-19 NHL season. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to get it done for the upcoming season. That being said, it is coming. Initial thoughts are to have an Online Championship (similar to our Rotowire contests for baseball and football)...

Hi Greg,
A little while back Hockey seemed to be the next sport addition but haven't heard since. Any chance you add Hockey in a near future?

Thanks
Gaëtan

Furthermore to the all-in swings theory, wondering if pitchers pitching count is not a bit behind it - absolutely no data to back this up - wanting to finish it up faster, but I don't remember having seen (yes I am watching way too much baseball...as per my girlfriend) so many 0 - 2, 1 - 2 pitches g...

Personnally I'm totally behind the "all in swings" theory instead of the juiced baseball. Look at the HR leader board, why would all the used to 5-10-15-20 HR a season players would all take advantage of the so called juiced balls when all the expected HR leaders like Stanton, Goldschmidt, Arenado, ...
