Just so I'm clear:

There's no salary/payroll considerations in this, right? Like, if pitcher A and pitcher B will have the exact same performance, and pitcher B happens to be a 10-year vet making $20mm/yr IRL, the two players are nevertheless of equivalent value in this draft?

I'd be down with being able to pick custom stadiums.

Also...those strategy sliders. Given that we cannot set our own for you, isn't that going to make you want to murder someone trying to set all of them for 30 teams?

Sorry about explicitly naming an undrafted player, but it's my turn in the draft and depending on the answer to this question, he won't be undrafted for long.

I'm assuming Carlos Santana still lists as a catcher despite the attempt to make him a 3b this season?

gently caress I was hoping Iwakuma would drop to the 3rd

Likewise. He was going to be the ace of my staff.

Really boned if my other hidden gem doesn't drop to me, and there's like 55 picks between now and then, so :v:

I totally see how that could happen, though, since someone looking for him under 2B might want to play him as a 3B, and vice versa.

PM your pick to me or something; I won't be up for another 25 or so slots so it's highly unlikely I'd be poaching your dude.

Honestly I think a lot of our "sleepers" aren't going to be all that useful until like round 10 or something. We're still trafficking in big names at the moment.

Not to be nitpicky, but it would be really nice if people would post their team when they make a pick. Since I'm not drafting, I'm planning to write up some "season previews" and to make a long story short I've got my own spreadsheet I'm filling in as we go along. Most people are doing this, but occasionally some jerk like FairGame ( ;) ) doesn't and I have to go searching for what team they run. Anyway, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I had to do the same a couple of times and found it moderately annoying too.

this is a good idea everyone please do this

So should we go back and edit in pick #s?

I think it's just more a matter of "<teamname> selects <playername>, putting <teamname> on the clock" would be helpful. I don't think it matters that much if a dude was taken 271st or 254th overall

By the way did you know that Mike Piazza was taken 9000th overall and only as a favor to Tommy Lasorda, and that Matt Adams went to Slippery Rock?

I think Rios was a pretty good pick. He can still hit. He's kind of a fielder in name only but that's a good bit of offense for this point.

Contrary to what theacox says, it's you that's on the clock, not me.

I just did this for my own sanity. All times EDT starting at the top of Round 18 yesterday:

Tampa Bay pick at 4:43pm, Boston up until 6:43pm
Boston pick at 5:24pm, Cleveland up until 7:24pm
Cleveland's clock expired 7:24pm, Milwaukee up until 9:24pm
Cleveland pick at 7:40pm
Milwaukee pick at 7:57pm, Chicago (N) up until 9:57pm
Chicago (N)'s clock expired 9:57pm, Baltimore up until 11:57pm
Baltimore's clock expired 11:57pm, San Francisco up until 11:57am
Chicago (N) pick at 9:31am

The Blingees' time is accurate in the draft doc. They have just under two hours to pick.


Edit: Time travel oooOOOooOOOOooOOOOO

It didn't matter, but I (Baltimore) should not have been skipped. Clock freezes at 10pm EST. I was well within my 2 hour window when I picked.

Y'all are being impatient as hell.

Daylight Savings Time is loving stupid and I don't really give a poo poo if it's technically EST or EDT right now. There's no D in Eastern so EST makes the most sense.

Also FairGame you need to brush up on your rules game, son.

:negative: Sorry, y'all. I was on a plane or in a car for like all of yesterday. Though that's really no excuse for reading 10-12 as 10-10, since 10 never equals 12 no matter what loving time zone I'm in.
