Am I reading SD wrong as it looks like different teams own the next 4 picks..? I’m Milwaukee but isn’t it showing SFN owning my pick? ? This Strat Draft is new to me..??♂?
Mark ? Since the SD site isn't issuing emails, how are we doing this draft tomorrow? Are there timeslots? Went onto SD tonight to see 3 additional picks had been made, but none went out?by SD or this list. This is where we're at right now, with Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Baltimore, St Louis and San Francisco the next names up on the list.

Also in the market for a SS of the future or a UT guy with a SS rating of no worse than a 2 for this year.?? I can return some playing time, if needed, from Alec Burleson, Gavin Sheets.... Tom
I am a tax guy in tax season and will do my best to monitor and not hold things up.? I do not want to autopick these first 1-3 picks, can set it after that. That said, I will consider dealing any/all picks and thus "draft" by trade.? I have the MIN #1(18th), which is the 10th pick made this round and I draft 2nd overall in the round thereafter (except the 3rd where I've swapped some picks and am picking later). I am looking for a LF, preferably a LH hitter with a 3 or better defensive rating, a solid #3-4-5 type starter, even if not a full season guy, and to add depth to my bullpen- particularly from the LH side. We're open for business. Tom/Cleveland

Re: YC2 - Draft is open untimed
This is happening in other leagues as well. There must be a problem with the SD server.

Re: YC2 - Draft is open untimed
I've been drafting in other leagues and the e-mail notifications have been sporadic.? It is best to keep up with the draft by checking the Strat Draft site frequently.? Ken, can you pass this information on to all of your leagues, please?

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.
?
|
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.

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

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.

Los Angeles has the following available for picks and/or OF/RP help:?
?
K. Higashioka CA 3e15-1 with .739 OPS
M. Massey 2B 3e6 with .743 OPS
G. Urshela 3B 2e11 with .647 OPS

STRAT DRAFT & GOOGLE SHEETS
All teams have now been verified to be within their limits and rosters have also been updated on GS as well.
|
I am at #2 in the first round, but have the first pick since a rookie was kept in the slot before me. I will consider trading down. I'm looking for some combination a lower 1st rounder, other pick(s), an SP upgrade, bullpen help, SS.? I'll consider all options. Tom/CLE

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.
