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. Sunday night - 1) First CM is due 2) SD no longer used 3) trades will be done announced (and confirmed) via the IO Group

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. and also - please join me in welcoming Joe Casale to the league as the new manager of the Boston Red Sox! 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 spok

1) There are still 12 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.

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.

All teams have hit their roster limit EXCEPT BAA, BOA, MMN, OAA, PHN, SLN, TBA, TEA, TOA, and WAN. ALL OTHER TEAMS - 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 Cleveland picked three extra players. Their last three have been removed. Chicago (AL) picked one extra which was removed. I'm going to change the time between picks to 15 minutes now because most teams are done, and their picks are still scheduled until they pass them.

I'm getting a lot of questions about how many we draft to. Look at the '2025' tab on the GS and see how many IR players you protected (0, 1, or 2) . You can draft up to 36 + that amount. PLEASE PASS on your remaining picks once you've hit this number. In SD, under Draft Views, View My Competition, if you select your team, it will show you how many players you've drafted, and under that how many players you had before the draft. Use that as your team total. Just a quick pointer. You can autodraft "PASS". This will help us go faster. To do this, just go into Front Office - My Office - My Profile. Then click the check box for Autodraft put in pass for all the picks (I did 10). See screenshot below John

Baltimore got two picks to drop down a bit. willing to offer that again! ill offer two 7th round picks for an upcoming pick. will also offer a 7th and next years 6th for an upcoming pick. this offer will be around until the players im eyeing are gone. john

The constitution on the SD site for our league is for another league. We draft to what, 36 players? Also, what are the cloud codes to download the league? I looked in the files on the league file that was sent out by email but don't see them. Lastly, I know we cannot trade picks this draft after our roster is complete, but can we deal picks in this draft before we are complete for picks next year? Or, are those picks not eligible to be traded. If someone knows, please advise. Thx. Tom

I have an extra pick or two in th 6th/7 rounds. Would deal a pick in the 6th for a 5th rounder next year, a pick in the 7th for a 6th rounder next year. Tom/Cleveland

Hi Everyone If people are interested in moving up, I have my 6th and four 7th round picks available to discuss. Looking to get something in the 4th or 5th. Mainly, for teams competing this is likely a good way to load up on solid RPs that are likely to be going in those rounds. Feel free to inquire if you're interested! John

The Cloud file and GS are up to date. A couple of things to remember. 1) The LZP will NOT contain players ineligible players under the usage limitation. Any further questions about 'why my pitcher with 7 IP is not on my roster in the game file', will not be responded to. 2) Rosters on SD take precedence over the GS (although they should match) and the LZP. Just because you may see players available in the LZP, doesn't mean they are available to draft. See #1 3) Any player(s) who should have been eligible to be drafted but does not show as available to draft in SD, will remain unowned until next season. I'm getting questioned about players here and there from several of my leagues, and as I told all of them, once we start the draft, the player pool is frozen. The time to point out these omissions has passed. 4) The left column of the Rosters tab on the GS that shows your team usage for PA and IP, INCLUDES the factor already. The individual player stats shown are their actual, but the team totals are factored. 5) Remember that we utilize unlimited players. If you are having usage issues, pitchers with an ERA of 6.00 or higher, are unlimited. Batters with an OPS of .600 or lower are unlimited. These unlimited players MUST meet the minimum usage requirements per the Rules tab though. 6) The draft times will be updated daily if we wind up ahead of schedule by early morning. We are now on 30-minute increments between picks. 7) I am finding that most of the issues occurring are happening in the evening hours, and I'm usually playing pool or bowling every night, so I'm going to ask if we have anyone WITH SD EXPERIENCE as a Commissioner, that would be willing to help out if I'm not around. I have no interest in teaching someone how to do this, so you would need to know how to manage the SD site, as well as be willing to do it. If that's you, please let me know.

I have good depth at 2b and am looking to trade this young starter. Needs include First Base and Relief Pitching.

The draft is now open on a timed basis. Arizona (Leo Tekiel) is currently up at pick #10. I've gotten several last-minute requests for usernames/passwords for the Strat Draft site. I'll do my best to respond to these emails, but at this point, everyone should have made sure they could get onto the site prior to the draft. If anyone gets skipped because of this issue, it's on you, not me. A new LZP has been pushed to the Cloud. I'm not going to send an email every time I update the file. If you are in the game file for our league, click Cloud, View League Status, and this will tell you exactly when I updated the Cloud file. I plan on updating it daily throughout the draft if possible.

sorry, I was reading the pick slot, the next picks incorrectly. The picks are to be made by SFN, BOA, ARN, OAA, CHA, CLA

There once again appears to be a problem with the SD site. It is not sending out emails after each pick the way it should be. I've contacted them about this but not overly optimistic they will get this resolved, so although it's a PIA, please know when your pick is scheduled (if in timed mode) and check the SD site periodically to check the draft picks. Hopefully sometime today you will start receiving the emails again.
