[Deadheadz]

Have to say I like the variability of these early contests before folks start getting influenced - or overly influenced - by ADP. For instance, looking at the two draft results posted so far, I see Todd Frazier comes off the board at 2.8 (23rd) in one draft and 4.14 (59th) in another. Not saying one's right or wrong; I just find the differences interesting.

Mike

My first 2015 Draft Champions league facing Doughboys begins tomorrow (DC26) and I vow to abandon the ADP list for this league. He will certainly be critical of some of my picks and the timing of them. Whether he chooses to share his opinions on them remains to be seen but I also vow to keep my mouth shut regarding my picks and his opinions about them.

Until after Opening Day, at least.


Cheers!

I vow to keep my mouth shut.

3 observations...

1. The number 12 drafter will never be accused of being an adp follower.

2. Drafter 14 likes taking his positions, 2 at a time.

3. I know it's just a small thing, but it rubs me the wrong way for a high stakes site.
Can the 'MR' next to Closers be changed to 'CL' even just 'R' ?
In no way are these fellas, middle relievers.

We definitely don't want to designate Closers because we'd be wrong on most of these guys. We're just trying to differentiate someone who has like 10 or more starts and other pitchers who have less than 10 starts. That being said, the request has been made to separate pitchers for the ADPs and maybe even the new online draft room to have RPs and SPs. Pitchers aren't currently set up that way in our system like 2Bs or 3Bs are (they are all linked as Ps), but we are looking at that for the future without disrupting current online drafts. Separating RPs in the ADPs and in the online draft room is our preferred choice for the future.

Until then, how about just 'RP'. Designating them middle relievers just looks wrong.
