Google Sheet (GS) Rosters now reflect the 2025 actual MLB stats. If you see #N/A or blanks in the columns, it means the player name didn't match up with the player name in the file I'm using, or they have not appeared in a game yet this season. If you see any players who you believe are truly missing, please let me know.?

Re: IMPORTANT - Please READ and SAVE this email
Just a reminder about this prior email. 4/6 is a week from Sunday. First CM's are due. GS will take precedence over SD on 4/6 as well, so if there are any discrepancies on GS, I must know by then. I have updated columns on the 2025 tab of the GS showing the teams that have claimed their teams and submitted their CMs. Green means it has been done successfully.

Sorry about the length of this, but it's important, all the way to the end. If you're in more than one of my leagues, you don't need to read each one. They
are basically the same. I'm going to address the common questions I am being asked in all my leagues. I will answer here (save this) so I don't have to reply to each and every manager asking the questions.
1)?Cloud Numbers - All the codes for Cloud are on the 'Cheat Sheet' tab
of the GS.?
2)?CMs - Are always due on the 6th of the month
3)?Games - are always due on the last day of the month.
4)?Claiming teams - If you are not familiar with how to claim your team
in the Cloud, see the bottom of the RULES tab.
5)?Pushing CMs - If you are not familiar with how to push your CM to
the Cloud, see the bottom of the RULES tab. You must claim your team PRIOR to pushing a CM.
6)?Minimum Usage Requirements - If you have players that do not have
at least 60 PA or 20 IP showing in the LZP, they are ineligible and WILL NOT be in the LZP. They are still yours and will show on your GS Roster.
7)?CM Requirements - These are the things you must have in every CM
? ?a)?A complete Starter Schedule for the?entire season.??This may be changed
every month. If you are not aware of how easy this is to do, in the game, highlight your team and click?Team, Update CM. Then make sure you have at least 5 starting pitchers listed on the
right and click?SAVE.?Then click?Team, Update CM.?In the category box select?Starter
Schedule. Then click?Generate?and?select?Even Distribution. Ta Da, done.
? ?b)?Starting Pitchers should be INACTIVE. Your active roster should be no more than
22 players, which will be position players and relief pitchers. Select?Team, Promote/Demote Minor Leaguers?to check you are within the limit.
???c)?You MUST have a backup on your active roster for every position. OFs are never
a problem because an OF can play any OF position. However,?catchers?(and SS) are sometimes overlooked. If you have one guy who has C, OF, 1B, 2B, 3B, and SS on his card, technically he could
count as your backup for every position.
? ?d)?You must have at least 2 lineups - 1) vs LHP and 2) vs RHP. Lineup #3 is used
for vs reverse LHP, and #4 for reverse RHP. You may use as many lineups as you like, BUT MAKE SURE each one has a player assigned to every position.
8)?LZP in the Cloud - I update the Cloud often. To make sure you always
have the latest version, click?Cloud, View League Status.?This will show you the last time I updated it.?
9)?If you find the players on your roster in the LZP are incorrect and
ask me to make a correction, please wait until I do, and you re-download the LZP BEFORE pushing a new CM. If you don't, this will sometimes cause players to drop from your roster. NEVER move players from Free Agents to your team, or anywhere at all. This also
causes problems.
10)?STRAT DRAFT
- SUCKS! I can't even tell you how many hours this site cost me in fixing all kinds of problems with the importing of rosters (something which has to be done every season), guys were drafting players and they were still not showing on their
SD roster, and errors appearing on many trades that I had to fix manually....and if anyone noticed, when a trade is made, SD doesn't even include the name of the league on the trade announcement. I brought this up to SD and was told it was a minor issue, and
they did not intend to fix it.
Effective 4/6 (the day CMs are due),?WE WILL NO LONGER USE STRAT DRAFT.?Google Sheets
(GS) will be the bible for roster information. This means if you have any discrepancies between your SD roster and your GS roster, I must know by then. GS will be used. I will be creating a TRADES tab to track trades. When making trades, you must email the
trade via the IO Group, and the other party must confirm it the same way.
Next season we will see how everyone would like the league to run going forward. I will tinker with a way to use GS to be able to draft with, or we can
use the new and improved Flory site. I have spoken with the group undertaking this effort, and they are looking at testing it out on some of the winter leagues. They will get the bugs out and hopefully it will be ready to go for us summer leaguer's next season.
At this point, they haven't gotten very far with it yet. This will be an off-season discussion PLEASE, not right now.?

Re: IMPORTANT - Please READ and SAVE this email
Disregard the part about games being due the last day of the month. This league is strictly autoplay now.

YC1 Arizona looking for 10 or so good starts
Hello there,
Arizona is looking to add a starter that has 10 good starts for this season. Needs to be good enough to get me a few wins.
We would be willing to give a draft pick according to your needs and could part with?
Gary Sanchez- C?? OR ?If you need a defensive replacement in the OF, Kevin Kiermaier could be part of a package. Even though his bat isn't worth more than a wet noodle.
Please let me know if this sounds like something you would be interested in.

1) There are still 11 teams that have not claimed their team in the Cloud.
2) First CM's are due 4/6. Make sure you include a complete starter schedule for the entire season. It can be changed.
3) Please double-check your rosters in the game. If you find any discrepancies after 4/6, you will play short until the end of the April block.
4) If you see any discrepancies in your GS Roster, please let me know. At this point, this is for your convenience only. However, I'm considering not using SD at all anymore and using the GS as the master file for rosters. There are a lot of issues with SD, including errors in processing trades, and players who were drafted not always showing up on the SD roster. If I do this, I'll give everyone at least a week to make sure GS and SD match.
5) We will definitely not use SD again next year. It will either be the new Flory site, or a league run on GS. Let's hold off discussion on this until we see what the new site looks like and costs.

Subject: [YC1] YC1 Draft is complete? The LZP is updated in the Cloud. The Cloud #'s are in the GS on the Cheat Sheet tab. The Roster tab on the GS should be up to date as well. If you see any problems, let me know. I had 5 drafts running at once, so I might have missed one here and there. As always, SD is what we go by. The GS should match. That is there for your convenience only. I would think you would want it accurate as it's a good way to view your team as a whole.

Once you hit your roster limit - PLEASE
?
1) Turn on Autodraft
2) Please enter pass for the first 5 players in Group 1 in your Autodraft
3) Set the number of players to be picked in the group to 5
?
Your roster limit is 36 + the number of players you put on your IR list prior to the draft. This is shown on the far right of the '2025' tab on the GS.
?
I'm going to change the time between picks to 15 minutes now because many teams are done, and their picks are still scheduled until they pass them.

Re: Passing remaining picks
pass must be in lower case in each pick and make sure you set the number of players to be picked from the group to 5 (max). Nick's site is being re-developed?by a new group and should be ready for review in a couple months. No worries - we will never use SD again.
Ken
I keep getting invalid entry when cut and pasting 'pass'. This site bugs me.
Please Nick get better....

When your team reaches the max players allowed, “pass” your remaining picks by:
- Front Office/My Office/My Profile
- Enter “pass” as shown below
