Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

[SoxFanForsyth]

Don't worry about it. I wish that I could tell you that there was a strict guidline towards voting, or that it was consistent, but it really isn't. People are going to do the power rankings the way they see fit, and I can only speak for myself.

 

That said, some of those intricate things noted are mostly factored into the voting, if at all. Most of the time the power rankings are solely talent oriented. Not to mention that a lot of people in this redraft (Will, Dipre, Exman, You, Keeper, A700) haven't done a redraft before, or at least haven't been in one that I have done, so this is a new process for many, and it's a work in progress from previous redrafts.

 

I know that things aren't run perfectly here, but I'm doing what I can to improve it from previous redrafts and hopefully it'll do something to pave the way for better redrafts in the future. For one thing, I'm amazed at how fast this is going as opposed to other redrafts.

 

Well first off, I think a lot of people are excited about it. It's a good way to pass the time to P&C Report, so I can see why it's gone by so fast. Plus, the Sox just plowed this offseason, so everyone is incredibly excited about 2011 after such a disappointing 2010.

 

No worries about the whole system of voting. It's better than the BCS, I can tell you that.

I wouldn't penalize anyone for using a guy with closing experience in a set up role. Just don't go drafting like 4 closers to make up your pen.

[italstallianion]

I agree, in any case where is Y228?

[yankees228]

Sorry about that.

 

Derrek Lee, 1B (13 M)

[italstallianion]

I think that Jbay is up now.

[Jasonbay44]

Francisco Rodriguez, RP

Salary: $12,166,66

[italstallianion]

Like clockwork. Anyway Flynnatic is now up.

[italstallianion]

Francisco Rodriguez' date=' RP[/b']

Salary: $12,166,66

 

 

For the record, I had K-Rod at 11.5m

[italstallianion]

Cmon Flynnatic, let's get the ball rolling the other way.

[italstallianion]

The one time I look forward to seeing Flynnatic's avatar is when he's making his damn picks.

[yankees228]

Ital, I have to leave in 25 minutes, so if I haven't picked yet, I'll send you a couple choices.

[italstallianion]

Sounds fine.

[Jasonbay44]

What site are you using?

[italstallianion]

Cot's baseball contracts. I know we had a big discussion on this when Divinity made his first pick, and then again when RSFFL (and later A700) had differing figures (because they used the spreadsheet)

 

I'm guessing that you used ESPN, or the Cot's spreadsheets?

[Jasonbay44]

Alright, wow, I must of missed that. I was just using ESPN salaries. Are all the players contracts different on each site?

There's the link Jbay. Teams are on the side.

Most of which are. To be honest some are more expensive on ESPN and some are cheaper on ESPN, so I can't really tell you what you'd find. For those that used the spreadsheets though, the rest of Cot's was cheaper. If you want I'll post the Cot's numbers for each of your players in a PM.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

To answer your question no not all players have different salaries on both sites. We figured we'd just stick to one so that you don't get a player cheaper than he is and so there's no confusion using two sites.

Thanks, I'm looking now and it has some of the guys I've searched for so far such as Fielder slightly cheaper then on ESPN.

You don't have to go through that trouble, it was my fault. Ill go ahead and search all my players right now and find out how much cap I've actually spent. I have nothing to do tonight anyway.

[Jasonbay44]

It doesn't appear the salaries are that far apart, it has most the salaries exactly the same as ESPN.

[Dipre]

No bites on Rasmus? And i'm looking straight at you JBay.

[Youker20]

Fred davis got assaulted or assaulted somebody

[Youker20]

whoops wrong thread. sorry im a bit dunk

[italstallianion]

Wrong thread Youker?

[italstallianion]

I have Y228's picks so if Flynnatic gets online we can swing this thing around the other way.

[Jasonbay44]

No bites on Rasmus? And i'm looking straight at you JBay.

Depends who you would want for him, I think my OF is fine but I'm all for trying to upgrade.

 

Anyway, I'm going to be off the computer for a little while. So, Ital, I'm going to send you my picks.

[italstallianion]

Sounds great. Hopefully Flynnatic comes on here soon.

[italstallianion]

I have both JBay's and Y228's picks, so when Flynnatic picks we can hopefully make some progress.

[WhiskeyBreath]

He's probly in a trance because of that stupid avatar of his.

[italstallianion]

I emailed him (which I probably should have done sooner) so hopefully he'll get it.
