Midseason Redraft League Pick Thread (jbay44 on the clock

[yrtb]

divinity, I think you still have one more makeup

 

and I'll update now

[yrtb]

Divinity and whiskeybreath each have on makeup, flynnatic has a few, youker has a lot

[WhiskeyBreath]

Wandy Rodriguez

[italstallianion]

So, who's turn is it? I think we're on the last round anyway.

[yrtb]

Suns turn, Jasonbay44 was skipped since he picked Ty Wigginton who wasn't available

[suns]

Austin Kearns if he's available

[italstallianion]

I think he's available.

[italstallianion]

It's been Divinity's turn for a bit, but I won't make my pick for a few hours when I have to leave for work, unless Divinity does make his pick, and then I'll make my pick at that point.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Anyone thinking about making any trades?

[WhiskeyBreath]

If my pick happens to come up and I'm not online, just skip me. I'll make it when I can, no big deal.

[yrtb]

I think I'm up by now

 

Sergio Romo

[italstallianion]

I take Tim Stauffer.

[yrtb]

anyone else want to finish their last round picks before we start the playoffs?

[WhiskeyBreath]

tbh, I don't even know who's turn it is right now.

[yrtb]

Basically everybody has been skipped by now. So I'll just give it a day for everybody to make up any skipped picks

[bsox0407]

Jed Lowrie

[italstallianion]

So, who are the playoff matchups?

[Divinity]

Mike Napoli

[yrtb]

For the playoffs, everybody will PM me their power rankings ranking the teams based on who good they are, once I have 6 or 7 power rankings I'll average them out and set up a bracket. Top 8 teams will advance (there are really only 8 teams because youker and robiformvp quit)

 

But before that I want everyone to finish updating their clubhouses

[italstallianion]

I agree, that's a good idea. Are you going to do 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5?

[yrtb]

Yeah, a bracket like that. And unless the matchup is an absolute blowout, it should be accompanied by a breakdown of some sort. Each matchup lasts until someone gets 4 votes or until 2 days pass, whichever happens first

[italstallianion]

I sent in my power rankings. For the actual voting, I think that we should do one matchup at a time, and that in the voting, we should have each team (ie if it's the 1 vs. the 8, then the owners of teams 1 and 8) should explain why their team should win.

 

Similarly, for each vote, each voter should write a paragraph or two explaining why they made the choice they made. In my opinion anyways.

[yrtb]

Yeah, I usually do a position by position breakdown but a paragraph works as well. And honestly, in past redrafts I've done the playoffs suck, because all the people with bad teams lose interest and I'm one of the few people who takes it seriously.

 

But it would be great if people explain why they should win

[Jasonbay44]

Is Omar Infante left? If he is ill take him.. If not ill take Yunel Escobar

[WhiskeyBreath]

Jacoby Ellsbury

[yrtb]

Feel free to send in power rankings guys

 

I've received 3 so far (counting myself)

[italstallianion]

On another note, I think we can make a team out of undrafted players that would beat Youker's team.
