YC2 - Draft is open untimed
The YC2 Draft is now open on an untimed basis. When I opened the draft, the first pick was made by Autodraft, and Dylan Crews was taken by St. Louis. John Smith (NY Mets) is currently up with the next 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.

YC2 - Update
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.

looking to deal
All- Being a tax guy in tax season, and it overlapping a bit with our draft, I'm always willing to consider "drafting now,"- trading picks for players.? Willing to deal all 7 of the picks we can move, if the situation is right. I'm looking to add a solid #1 guy in the rotation.? My group is solid- Bibee, GrayRod, Peterson, Morton, Stroman, Woods-Richardson, but would like an upgrade.? Doubtful I'd move the first two, but others can be had. Would like a solid RF.? Preferably 3 or better fielder with a - arm.?? Can also look at a SS.? Filling that now with O'Neil Cruz, whom I'm fine with and can use Cabarello for defense.? But with Cruz moving FT to the OF, this is a spot that'll open up.? Perhaps Cabarello or Tyler Freeman fill it, but see both as more UT type guys. Let's chat and see if we can make a deal. Tom/Cleveland |

Wash Block
We are considering tanking a year to retool. Taking offers on: Tyler Glasnow Blake Snell (sick card) Tanner Scott Cole Ragans Corbin Burnes Randal Grichuk (oddly good card) Tyler Holton I can obviously cobble a respectable team together with those guys, so not a firesale. But seeing whats?out there. |

Re: STATE OF THE LEAGUE - MUST READ
开云体育Appreciate all you do to run these leagues. Thank you.Warmest Regards, Denton On Feb 5, 2025, at 6:28?AM, ken christianson via groups.io <DEERPARKMETS@...> wrote:
? 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.?

Re: Roster Cutdown - 1/31
Everyone has made their cuts except for Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. All teams are free to trade except those teams. The trade of Jake Cronenworth from CLA to SFN was deleted because it was made after the cut deadline and Cleveland was already over their limit.
?
I have updated the rosters on GS. Cuts for these teams will be made later this morning. |
