Here are the basics to follow:
- The draft will consist of 16 rounds. Your starting line-up must consist of 1 C, 4 IFs and 3 OFs. Your pitching staff must have 2 SP and 2 RP. You will have four additional bench players of any position.
- When it's your turn, you have one hour to make a selection. If you go over that time, you will be skipped. The "official" clock runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific on weekdays. Meaning that if it is your turn starting at 5:30 p.m. Pacific, you technically have until 8:30 a.m. the next day to make a pick. Of course, if it is your turn you can make your pick after the draft hours - that's just there as a way to speed things up.
- Because of the timing, it's very, very important that people stay on top of when they are up. If you are going to be up soon but know you won't be on Dee-Nee, get me some proxy selections via PM. Since I'm not playing, there's no risk of anything funny going on. I'll also PM people when it's their turn, and if you send me your IM information, I can get picks from you that way.
- Draft is snake style, with order selected at random. The draft order is:
1. The Poopydicks
2. The Frank Tanana All-Stars
3. GoReds/TBT
4. The OC
5. GDavis
6. Nacho
7. The Mexican Hermaphrodite Whores
8. AttaRack
9. The Hip Young Popes
10. The Nimrods
- We're going to continue the two Division system. The season will be 13 games - you'll play everyone in your Division twice and out of Division once. The top two teams in each Division play a Best of 3 LCS, and then a Best of 7 World Series follows.
GANTRY DIVISION:
The OC (TBG/BDawk)
The Nimrods (U7)
The Mexican Hermaphrodite Whores (Ryno)
GoReds/TBT
GDavis
DOVERBI DIVISION:
The Frank Tanana All-Stars (Shooty Babbit)
The Poopydicks (fknmclane/Gantry)
The Hip Young Popes (Gerlost/Disco Smiley)
AttaRack (Attez/Rack)
The Butte Cheeks (Nacho)
Any other questions? The Poopydicks are free to make their choice whenever they would like - the draft doesn't "start" until tomorrow, but they can select at any time.
And if you haven't gotten me your team name yet, do it now!
Can we change our name?
No.
Fuck yeah. FUCK YEAH. We'll have our first pick ready once we finish up our conference.
Shouldn't Gantry's team actually be in the Gantry division?
That's the ironic part. I kept all the returning teams in their Division from last season. It just worked out that way.
would it be possible to get a phone call or a text message when it's my turn. . . . or an email to my office.
my dee-nee at work time has been all but shut out. . . . . i have to be reeeeealy careful with it.
Sure. I can either call you or e-mail you. PM your e-mail to me.
I would like my official team name to be the Butte Cheeks.
I haven't done this before... Do we get to set our lineup, bench, etc.?
Yeah, you'll set your line-ups, bench, pitching rotation, etc., before each week's games. You can also make trades with other teams, etc. Then, the games are simulated. The game files are posted so you can watch if you want, and then the box scores are posted, etc.
Let me just state how excited I am for another season of Fighton write ups.
With the first pick in the 06/07 Dee Nee RBI Fantasy Baseball League, The Poopydicks select Andre Dawson, The Hawk.
Just for future reference, 'The Hawk' part always comes before the name, Andre Dawson. Never afterwards. Oh and that was a horrible pick.
The Hawk is the best player in the game...
s.a.r.c.a.s.m.
I've started a thread that just lists the selections. Continue to make your picks here, though.
Can we sticky this for the duration of the draft?
By proxy, The Frank Tanana All-Stars select Mark McGwire, IF, AL, with the second pick of the 2006 Winter Fantasy RBI Draft.
GoReds/TBT are on the clock.
With the 3rd selection in the 1st round...Goreds/TBT selects...Darrel Evans IF, Detroit Tigers.
with the 4th selection of the 2006 fantasy rbi winter draft, the two-time, defending world champion the oc select:
reginald martinez "potatatoes" jackson - outfielder, of the 1986 california angels.
I'm surprised he fell to #4.
Quote from: Nacho on 10/25/06, 12:00:13 AM
I'm surprised he fell to #4.
that belongs in the comments thread, mister.
Then so does your response!
GDavis is up, followed by Nacho.
I'll take Jorge Bell
It looks like Nacho has about 35 minutes to make a pick, then Ryno is on the clock
Hose-A Canseco
I just e-mailed Ryno, so he should be sending his pick along very soon.
The Mexican Hermaphrodite Whores select Dale Murphy, OF, NL All-Stars. This, despite rumors that the devout Mormon Murphy would refuse to play for a team that had such a vulgar and obscene name.
Attarack is up.
Can't we just give them Nokes and move on?
I'm gonna go ahead and pick Kirk Gibson for us, as this is what we agreed upon through PM (well, he listed three, and I agreed mainly with Gibby).
So, Attarack choose Kirk Gibson.
The Hip Young Popes select Don Baylor.
Witht he #1 pick, Team AttaRack has come together within our warroom and selected:
Kirk Gibson
Ult is up for two picks, then back to Gerlost.
Eric Davis
Kent Hrbek
With their next pick, the Hip Young Popes have converted Darryl Strawberry.
So THAT was the puff of white smoke that I saw over the Vatican...
Attarack is on the clock, followed by The Mexican Hermaphrodite Whores.
OK. With the 2nd round pick, AttaRack selects:
Timmy Raines
Ryno takes Don Mattingly, IF, AL All-Stars.
Nacho is up, followed by GDavis.
I'll take Tits and Ass
I believe it is Nacho's turn to pick. Let's give him a little more time before we go making picks.
EDIT: I just spoke with Nacho - he's going to the computer to make his pick now.
I will make my selection within the next five minutes, don't worry... doing some last minute numbers-crunching.
Ellis "Tim" Burks
The OC is up, followed by GoReds/TBT. Obviously, the pick of Tony Armas by GDavis stands.
imma be incognito for 30-40 minutes....then i'll be back for my pick, assuming TBG comes thru yet. i got numbers to crunch and an errand to run.
Tom Brunansky (brnzky) for my southern california brethren.
I loathe you.

I'm trying to figure out whether he's being funny here or if he really has no clue what that word means. What do the rest of you think?
I just assumed that he will be dressing in disguise for a while. Shouldn't affect any of us.
your confusing this with the slang blacks say...the whole incognegro.
Jim Rice
OF/Bos.
I take Schmidt
The Poopydicks select Ruppert Jones (OF) and Tom Brookens (IF).
The Frank Tanana All-Stars are up again.
EDIT: I screwed up McLane's proxy picks. They are now correct.
Gary Carter
shit im back up already....gimme 15.
Gary Gaetti IF'er

Thank you sir. Told you...you are better than that.
For the record, I am no sending fighton my proxy pics?, since I am now going to class.
The OC selects Will "The Thrill" Clark - firstbaseman.
die
Jack Clark
Nacho selects Dwight Evans, OF, Bo
Ryno selects Wally "World" Joyner, IF, Ca
Attarack is up.
Attarack has 10 minutes to make their selection. Rack has been PMed (I don't have any other contact info for him). I'll give him a short grace period after that to get on here, but not much - give me proxy picks if you aren't going to be ready to draft!
OK, I'm leaving for the afternoon. The draft "officially" closes at 6 p.m. Pacific. If Rack/Attezz hasn't picked by 5:15 p.m. or so (the next five to ten minutes), Gerlost is then on the clock.
I'm making my pick in 20 minutes.
AttaRack takes Tim Laudner, who has more pop than Wally Joyner, and is a catcher.
Now I'll let the draft wait until tomorrow morning.
Quote from: Gerlost on 10/25/06, 08:17:00 PM

Ultimate's here, so you make one, he makes two, you make one, then I make one.
What seems to be the problem?

I can wait, but I also wanted to leave it open for as many people to make off-the-clock picks as possible.

So Gerlost has until 8:15 AM PST to make his pick? I still don't understand why he didn't just make it last night.
Me neither. Total balls.
Hey!...it's not like this is real or anything. give the guy a break. Some people have other shit to do
Gerlost is keeping everyone guessing. Well played.
Quote from: BDawk on 10/26/06, 10:05:33 AM
Hey!...it's not like this is real or anything. give the guy a break. Some people have other shit to do
But he was here when it was his turn to make his pick, for over 30 minutes and he just decided to wait until tomorrow. I could understand if he just happened to not be around.
OK Gerlost has had over 2 hours to make his pick. I'm going with:
Doug Decinces
Rich Gedman
Gerlost gets another hour now to make his 2 picks
Don't we just keep going and skip Gerlost. So isn't it my pick now?
Quote from: Racktacular on 10/26/06, 11:23:49 AM
Don't we just keep going and skip Gerlost. So isn't it my pick now?
i would say no, just on the technicality of the rules. we have to wait.
Quote from: Racktacular on 10/26/06, 11:23:49 AM
Don't we just keep going and skip Gerlost. So isn't it my pick now?
We skipped his first pick, now he gets another hour for his next pick, if he still isn't here, then you are up and we can continue.
I remember doing a draft here...either fantasy RBI or fantasy hot chicks where if you missed one of your picks, next time it came back around to the guy, it automitcally skipped by him and didn't get his extra hour or whatever. Seemed to be a good way to keep things moving.
as it stands now, we only have to wait 20 minutes. can we get a ruling from fighton?
Correct. Gerlost has 20 minutes to make his next selection or else he gets skipped.
I am going to be out of town tomorrow, with limited Internet access. In my absence, TBG can act as commissioner and make any draft related rulings, etc.
crap, i'm not going to be here either... i hope we can get a lot done tonight. maybe ultimate can be in charge tomorrow???
Gerlost is the Vikings of this draft
I can be commish tomorrow if needed
Done. U7, you have the power tomorrow. Either that, or we can just call a three-day weekend and start again on Monday (since TBG, Nacho and TBT at least are all going to be out tomorrow along with me).
i'd probably be in favor of the three day weekend, i just hope that we get a lot of picks done today and tonight.
nacho and tbt are going to be out today, i'm not sure about tomorrow.
I agree...let's finish this thing next week...
im in favor of the 3 day weekend.
im around till about 10 tonight, then i head out for the weekend. so that would require Ult or someone to be on the horn at least 3 or 4 times with me on friday.
If so many are gone, let's just forget Friday
I vote for a three day weekend. It will give us time to really hone our draft strategies.
OK, let's do a three-day weekend. We'll finish up today and then officially take the weekend off. If people are around and want to make picks Friday-Sunday, they are still free to do so.
So, Gerlost is past his deadline for his latest pick. Attarack is now on the clock.
Quote from: ultimate7 on 10/26/06, 12:37:52 PM

I think Gerlost forgot about Thursday as well.
doing research now. Gimmie 5
Attez check your PM
I want to be a team player, but I'm about step up to the plate if Attez doesn't respond in about 3.3 minutes.
Just in time.
If I'm not online and it's our pick, you have full authority (like me with Laudner last night).
We're gonna kick some ass.

By proxy, Ryno selects Chili Davis, OF, SF
Clark is a far superior slugger. 890+ Power guys don't grow on trees. Maybe we'll work a deal later in the draft when our teams are fleshed out a bit.
By proxy, Nacho selects Alan Trammell, IF, Dt
GDavis is on the clock.
I'll take Lemon Party. Now that's a motherfucking outfield.
matt nokes
What!
Thought about Nokes but couldn't pull the trigger. His numbers say he should be drafted here, but we all know that he can't live up to those numbers.
TBT is up next, followed by the Frank Tanana All Stars and then two Poopypicks. And Gerlost can make his third and fourth round picks whenever he damned well pleases.
Gerlost is in the house, he can take 2 picks whenever he wants
Sorry for being a Sally. I have absolutely no idea why I just didn't make my picks yesterday.
I'll take Jeff Leonard and Dick Schofield.
I. am. pissed.
About the Nokes pick? Were you guys going to try a catcher platoon?
OK, gerlost basicaly snipered my 2 favorite options here....dick.
gimme 3 more minutes.
I bet tbt is jizzing into a jar as we speak

No, not for the purposes of Fantasy RBI
Shit, so what's the answer? Commish? If Lindeman is an IF, then he's our pick. If not, gimme a few minutes.
In RBI, Lindeman is an OF.
For our next pick The Poopydicks are proud to add Cat Fancy himself, Kevin Mitchell. We feel he'll keep the team on its toes at all times.
The Frank Tanana All Stars will take IF Bill Madlock...who has the same power as Kevin Mitchell but with better contact and speed ratings. He has also won a couple of batting titles.
McLane is falling apart as his own GM.
Keith Hernandez IF
The current draft order is: The OC, GDavis, The Butte Cheeks
the oc select: two time world champion and 2005 cy young award winner, doc gooden, righthanded starting pitcher.
Sweet Lou
Sorry mclane, work has been too busy for me to chime in. Mitchell is fine, we all know that lemon is overrated anyway...
Nacho selects George Brett, IF, Al
Ryno selects Pedro Guerrero, OF, Nl

Seriously. Asshole. Should have gone Hendrick and then Ripken.
Jim Lindeman.
attarack has 30 minutes to complete their pick.
Nolan Ryan
Ryno selects Wade Boggs
Nacho selects Benito Santiago
GDavis is on the clock.
gdavis's time ran out so, with the last official pick of the draft for the week, the oc select:
Pat "PS, I Love You" Sheridan. OF
as i understand the rules:
gdavis can pick at any time.
the drafting over the weekend has to be in order.
there will be no draft clock (this means that it's possible that no one will pick this weekend and it's frozen until monday morning.)
no one can be skipped over this weekend.
on monday morning, barring any snafu's, the first person on the clock will be wherever we end up after the weekend. their clock will start at 8AM pacific time.
on second thought, it may be more fair for everyone to wait for gdavis to pick sometime this weekend and then everyone will continue as i stated above.
Fuck em all!
Trade announcement:
The Frank Tanana All Stars have reached a deal with the Hip Young Popes:
Going to HYP: Bill Badlock and a 10th round pick
Going to FTAS: Jim Lindeman and a 7th round pick
what a boring trade
so i assume the TBG pick stands with pat sheridan...someone call/text my ass.
if TBG's pick holds, then im taking bob boone as my catcher.....
You are the Gary Kasparov of fantasy RBI drafts.
tbt, i think that we should wait for gdavis to pick before we get going on anything else. we can wait for fighton's ruling. let's say your pick is pending approval or a majority vote maybe?
i don't want to be too invloved here, i just want to be fair.
Spilman still available? If so I'll take him
tbt's pick of boone (C) stands.
gdavis was skipped, but selected spilman (IF) without issue.
shooty is up anytime this weekend.
no one can be skipped now until 9am (pacific) on monday.
if you have to wait half a day or a few hours to pick, exercise patients...
Shooty is deciding
Sbrhgn
whose turn is it? TBT is wondering and I am a little lost.
It's mclane's turn, TBT doesn't have to worry because no picks are mandatory until Monday
Yes, i think he knows. He just wants a reason to talk to me. ;)

no problem there.
if you two can work something out tonight or tomorrow that would help the draft flow a little faster.
but,
you can pick anytime you wish, but officially you have to make a pick between 8-9am pacific time on monday.
It doesn't really matter, there ain't gonna be much movement until Monday
So, GoReds has been around all weekend regaling us with tales of SEC's finesse football, and TBT has made a post in the draft thread...
What on earth is the hold up here?
Manfredi, I'll be on the road again (headed back to MN) most of the day tomorrow. Again, if you could give me a call when it is my turn, that would be great, though I'd also allow Strassy to make some pics? for me.
We're fans of people bitching.
Bert Mecha Blyleven is our pick.
The draft has officially commenced for this week with the oc's choice of:
bobby "now you're messin with a... a son of a grich!" infielder for the california angels.
gdavis is now on the clock.
would it be possible to get a running list of available players?
I'll take Heath Bar Crunch, aka Better Than Laudner(tm)
Last year's fantasy RBI stats
Heath AVG: 0.491 SLG: 1.000
Laudner AVG:0.443 SLG: 0.984
You're failing to account for Laudner's intangibles.
Does Nacho know that he's up?
Quote from: BeefMaster on 10/30/06, 10:56:54 AM

I have Nacho's proxy picks. I'll look them over and make his pic? shortly.
If yo take the Excel spreadsheet of last season's Fantasy RBI stats from the Web site, you can cross off who has already been taken and see who is left.
Nacho selects Fernandomania.
Ryno is on the clock, followed by Attarack and Shooty (pick received in trade with Hip Young Popes).
Ryno...fine. If you go to the bottom of the main post in the Draft List thread, there's a list of all remaining players by position.
Can you list the usernames along with the team names? How the fuck am I supposed to know who the Butte Cheeks are?
Look in the first post of this thread, dingleberry. And I still need team names for you and TBT/GoReds.

No, it was part of the trade he made with Gerlost earlier in the draft.

That would have been an excellent strategy if you didn't still need 2 infielders.
But you do, so it sucks.
Meh, IF'er are easier to come by. Blank Morris is a stud.
I wish we would have taken Davey Lopes.
I was afraid you were gonna take Lopes
So i have no idea what is going on because i suck. TBT tried to explain it to me but my stupid girl brain got in the way.
Who is after rack? Or who is next?
Gerlost is up, but he has used up his time again so I guess maybe AttaRack can pick
Thanks Ult its not easy being a woman in a man's world. I just updated TBT.
Yeah, Gerlost is now over the time limit. Attarack is on the clock at 1:00 p.m. Pacific with one hour to pick. Gerlost can pick at any time.

Yes sir but i am not sure you want me in there either.
OK...get naked and wait for me in the sack
Now that i know i can do.

How about you start by trading your good players to the OC?
ryno, nacho, then gdavis are up.
ryno has approximately 20 more minutes.
Mike Krukow is a WHORE
Does that mean that he is your pick?
Are you serious nach? Of course it's his pick.
Fine, then I'll take Don Sutton.
I'll take Jimmy Key to victory
sutton was already picked, nacho, if you want someone else make your pick before i do.

I was debating between Sutton and Key. Hopefully, I chose right.
Sutton was picked? He is still on the list of available. Can I steal Key away from GDavis then, since he picked right after me?
CONTROVERSY
technically yes.
i'll wait.
No way dude, you fucked up on the Slutton. I don't get penalized for that shit. You get skipped until you correct your pick.
I'll take Jimmy Key, barring legal intervention on the part of GDavis.
This could get ugly.
No fucking way. Take someone else.
I'm gonna call Manfredi to sort this out.
You fucking son of a whore
Manfredi isn't around. In the interest of being a good sport, I'll choose Mike Witt, but I'm proceding under protest.

Manfredi, we need a quick decision. GDAVIS is trying to sway me with sexual favors.
COMMISSIONER MANFREDDY RULES IN FAVOR OF GDAVIS
Hollywood, CA - While regretting what he referred to as a "procedural error", Fantasy RBI Commissioner Richard Manfreddy ruled against Butte Cheeks GM Nacho's appeal of GDavis' selection of Jimmy Key in the Fantasy RBI Draft on Tuesday afternoon. With the ruling, GDavis's selection of Key stands, while Nacho must go with his secondary selection of Mike Witt.
"While the Commissioner's Office regrets the error and any confusion it might have caused, the fact is that the list of undrafted players is unofficial," said Manfreddy in a statement released from the palatial Fantasy RBI estate in Hollywood Hills. "Don Sutton had been selected by TBT, and anyone following the draft would have known that. At the end of the day, each team is responsible for tracking the draft themselves, not the Commissioner's Office. Plus, Nacho was being a real Sally about it."
GDavis expressed great relief over the decision, saying in a statement written in 100 pt. font, "EAT IT, NACHO!!!"
I can live with that.
Mike Witt is going to pitch with a chip on his shoulder.
Justice!
The OC is up, followed by TBT and then The Hip Young Popes (pick acquired from Frank Tanana All-Stars via trade).

There is no player named Galaraga. I'll give you Andres Gallarraga instead.
The OC selects Denny Walling,
GDavis selects Mark Davidson, OF, Mn
Nacho selects Larry Herndon, OF, Dt
Ryno selects Calvin Schiraldi, RP, Bo
Attarack is on the clock, followed by the Hip Young Popes and then the Nimrods for two.
Note: Since there's only one RP left and Attarack has one RP spot to fill, they automatically get Donnie Moore with their final round (16th round) pick. So this is the last pick for them. Ryno has already filled his roster.
Willie Randolph
Gerlost is up, then U7 for two and back to Gerlost.
Spike Owen.
U7 selects Rick Sutcliffe, SP and Jose Uribe, IF
The OC automatically receives Danny Cox, SP, with their final pick.
Gerlost is up for his final pick.
HIP YOUNG POPES "SHOCK" FANTASY RBI WORLD, SELECT RAFAEL SANTANA
LOS ANGELES - Hip Young Popes GM Gerlost made a stunning pick in the Fantasy RBI Draft today, choosing to select Rafael Santana for his team in the 16th and final round. This pick was made despite the fact that there were several other bench players to chose from. This marks the first time in Fantasy RBI history that Santana has been drafted so high.
"I know this is a huge risk, but we think that with the right coaching and training, Rafael can perhaps get an infield hit in one of the two or three times he gets to bat all season," Gerlost said in a prepared statement relased by The Vatican's official press agency. "Plus, we're going to be pumping him full of every steroid known to mankind, and many more that aren't."
Despite Gerlost's enthusiasm, others weren't so keen on the selection.
"I don't know what the boy is thinking," said ESPN and Rivals.com recruiting guru Tom Lemming. "Wally Backman had much better 40 times, and Steve Lake outperformed Santana in the bench press, doing 25 reps at 200 lbs. compared to Santana's three. You don't get the nickname 'I Suck' for nothing."
Al Pedriq was said to be "inconsolable" at the news that Santana was picked before him.
Shooty selects Steve Lake.
The rest of the draft order is:
Nacho
GDavis
TBT
Shooty
Poopydicks
So has anyone gone over their limit? Are we gonna finish tonight or what?
Shroeder
I assume Gerlost's time is up?
we take Pedrique...if it isnt up..please ignore.

The draft stops at 6 PM Pacific.
oh....was not aware of that.
The Poopydicks are done anyway since we're automatically stuck with Mr. Irrelevant. And thanks to the Popes it will not be kong dong Santana.
The last four teams to pick are, in this order:
GDavis
TBT
Shooty
Poopydicks
I have until 9am PST to make my decision. I plan on using the full alloted time.
You can't believe how excited the Poopydicks are to keep Santana off the team. We're gonna get a gamer no matter what now...

Tito?

Booyah! GDavis is over the time limit.
TBT selects Roy Smalley.
Shooty Babbit selects Al Pedriq.
The Poopydicks are free to select either Wally Backman or Marty Barrett - unless GDavis gets his pick in first.
EDITED TO FIX ERROR
I though santana got picked already?
MARTY FUCKING BARRET

Wally World it is!

OK, I should have the schedule done by tomorrow. Everyone should look through their roster and put together their line-ups. Remember that you need 4 IF, 3 OF and 1 C in your starting line-up. Post how you want your batting order to look, what order you want your pinch hitters to be in (they will be used by the computer in the order you list) and what order you want your pitchers to be in.
Also, repost your team name (if you don't have one yet) and color preferences. The three things you can control are: skin color, uniform color (shirt, pants) and bat/helmet/shoes/belt color.
Games will start next week.
Can I change our name to the Chicken Fuckers?
