The email I just sent out about auto Lopez is not for your choice 1
My apologies
|
Just reached out to Ken to let him know that the best of my knowledge Otto Lopez should be on the Marlins roster as he was a second rookie protect. He was on the Excel spreadsheet and I would think it’s just an oversight.

Re: YC1 - Draft is now open untimed
CORRECTION: Michael Duncan (Cleveland) is now up, not Texas

YC1 - Draft is now open untimed
The YC1 Draft is now open on an untimed basis.? The first two picks were made by AutoDraft when I opened the draft up and they were Jackson Chourio (CHA) and Dylan Crews (BOA). Currently, Larry Lynn (TEA) is up with the 3rd overall pick.
?
We are untimed until Saturday morning with one exception:?Anyone advertising that their pick is available in a trade, will have a 4-hour time limit put on their pick.?It's not fair to the rest of the league to hold up the draft when it is untimed.
?
Several have asked how to claim their teams in the Cloud. Here are the directions.
?
1. In the game, highlight our league and your team.
2. Click Cloud, Claim Team
3. The following screen appears. You must create your own password, then confirm it again, and create a User Name. Then click OK. Please use a password you'll remember (or write it down) because I cannot see it if you forget.

Re: New LZP is in the Cloud
Ken, Can you refresh us on claiming a team?
After clicking on the team, and choosing Claim Team from the Cloud menu, then what?
Do we need a password and a user name? (I know we don't pw lock the CMs).
Thanks,
Richard
YC1-San Diego

The current LZP is now in the Cloud. You may begin claiming your teams at any time.
Reminder: The draft will be open tomorrow morning on an untimed basis and will start officially on Saturday morning.

Hi Ken-thanks for this-Quick work! y roster looks good (well, correct anyway-not good... ?)
Can you clarify starting pitcher usage-do I have this right?
If we're going by IP, then the 120% now reflected in the lzp applies.
If we're going by GS, then it's the original GS (not the 120% figure)?
Thanks,
Richard?
San Diego YC1

Attached is a preliminary LZP file. Please review your team for accuracy. Anyone you have on your GS roster that does not have enough usage to be used will NOT be in the LZP.
|
In case anyone didn't know, the new game is available to order on the strat-o-matic.com website. It can be downloaded on Monday, 2/24.
?
Our draft is scheduled to begin Saturday, 3/1, 10:00 EST. I am going to open up the draft early on an untimed basis Thursday morning, 2/27. At that time, all players showing as eligible to be drafted are final.
?
Please utilize the Google Sheet to monitor your usage requirements as we are drafting. I will try my best to keep it as up to date as possible during the draft. The ROSTER tab will keep track of your team IP and PA's. These numbers are already including the usage factor.
?
The GS should be accurate so if you see anything wrong with your roster, please let me know.

Strat Draft and Google Sheets
All teams have now been verified to be within their limits and rosters have also been updated on GS as well.

STATE OF THE LEAGUE - MUST READ
I am sending this same email out to most of my leagues. This year, Strat Draft has sucked away some of my love of this game. One thing for sure, I will never run a league on SD again after this. As you know, their conversion program which converts one year to the next, was a complete disaster. I have spent the better part of two weeks in front of a computer trying to fix the errors.?
?
What makes it worse, is that despite sending MANY emails to the managers in my leagues asking that they double-check their rosters, many did not. This resulted in many managers missing the deadline for roster cutdowns, and endless emails AFTER the date asking for fixes. For those who submitted cuts on time AND properly on SD, there will be some kind of a reward for doing so (TBD). Thank you to those of you who did submit on time.
?
Next year, I'll have to re-evaluate if I am trying to run too many leagues, if I am just running them on the wrong site, or if I need to weed out managers who do not follow instructions and do not meet deadlines.? Ironically, the one league I run exclusively on Google Sheets is running the best of any of them.
?
Effective immediately, this is what is going to happen with my leagues on SD. - NO EXCEPTIONS
?
1. Cuts, rookie selections (if applicable) and IR designations (if applicable) were due no later than 1/31. Today is 2/5. I will no longer accept any more changes. DO NOT SEND ME ANYMORE. If after doing a final check on rosters, I find you are still over the limit, I will cut players for you.
?
2. Any players missing from your rosters (I hope there aren't any) are now part of the draft. This may be a tough egg to swallow, but everyone has had several weeks to review this, and I have sent numerous reminders to do so, and at this point, I am DONE with changes. If you're missing players, it's your own fault for being negligent. DO NOT SEND ME ANYMORE EMAILS ABOUT PLAYERS MISSING FROM YOUR ROSTERS. It is time to move forward.
?
3. I will be updating GS rosters to reflect SD rosters
?
4. If you find players that SHOULD be available in the draft and are not showing, notify me PRIOR to the start of the draft. These emails I do want to see. Once the drafts open untimed, the draft pool is locked.
?
Sorry, this is so harsh, but this year in Strat has truly sucked so far (THANK YOU STRAT DRAFT). I still think getting off of Flory was the right move at this point based on Nick's last email, but we can re-evaluate again after this season.?
|
All cuts prior to the draft have been made and the trading freeze has been lifted. I now believe I have all the rosters correct on Google Sheets.?
|
Re: Roster Cutdown at 1/31.
If you sacrificed your first-round pick to keep a rookie, you may keep an additional player, as that player theoretically is part of your draft.?
|
I have been dealing with the Flu-A bug for the last few days. In the morning, I will be checking everyone's rosters. Since the deadline was 1/31 and tomorrow is 2/4, make sure you have no more than 25 players on your roster. This can be up to 27 if you have placed 2 players on the IR.?
?
Anyone over these limits tomorrow morning when I check them, will have their cuts made by me.

YC1 - NO TRADING PERIOD now until I verify rosters

Seattle has excellent catcher available
Guys
?
I have two excellent catchers on my Seattle team: Adley Rutschman and Patrick Bailey.
?
I could part with one of them for a very good 3B or CF; or possibly for a combination of SP, RP, 3B and CF.?

Re: 1/31 is due date for cuts to 25 players or less
CLARIFICATION - If you have claimed a rookie and sacrificed your first-round pick to do so, that rookie will NOT count against your 25-player limit. So anyone that is currently over the limit, keep that in mind.
