The draft will begin on Monday, 02-22-2010. This post will be updated as the picks are selected. Attached are two draft sheets.
Here are the basics to follow:
- The draft will consist of 16 rounds. Your starting line-up must consist of 1 C, 4 IF's and 3 OF's. Your pitching staff must have 2 SP and 2 RP. You will have four additional bench players of any position.
Choose wisely. Trades will not be available until weeks 8-12. This will be a 22-game season just like last year.
There is no time limit to draft your players. Be responsible and let's run this on autopilot.

Well damn son. I was hoping for the 1/10 chance I could reuse last year's draft sheet.
I don't really like my draft position. Beef, Alec, and TBT got in the top five again two years in row now. I wonder who will be this years first pick. I already know the players I want for my juggernaut program. I'm going to shock some people with my first pick...
Not to happy about our draft slot, either. Wouldn't mind trading down to 9 or so.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Sally Cunts will be swapping first and second round picks with Ultimate7. The Sally Cunts receive picks 9&12, and Ultimate7 receives picks 6&15.
WOW
uh oh, didnt you know all trades need to be sent to the galactic empire before being announced? expect a bunch of star wars pics to come your way momentarily

The Galactic Senate has denied this trade request. There shall be no swapping of the selection spots. Plus I do not want to go back and edit the rounds and selection part of the post. Accept the random order that was produced from the drawing of names from the hat.

I was literally in the middle of typing "I trust that Darky will allow all fair trades" and got the message that "another reply has been posted."
This is bogus, it is a fair swap, you have stated that you'll allow trades through a certain week, and it takes literally no effort to adjust two draft positions in the first two rounds.
I'm officially filing an appeal through the Galactic Union.
I know I'm new here, but might as well be bold off the bat. I think this trade should be allowed.

Seconded. On both the new part and the allowance.
I also think that it might be beneficial to all of us if at LEAST tecmoturd could announce his first pick. We all have a lot of draft strategy that can be adjusted by just knowing his first pick.
Darky said trades are only allowed weeks 8-12.
WTF Darky? It's the most benign trade of all time.

TBG, the draft starts Monday with tecmoturd's first selection...then the ball gets rolling and hasty decisions will be made. That is how I want the draft to proceed. I don't want tecmoturd to announce his first pick before then. Please respect the nature of the draft that is in place. Thank you.

There shall be no swapping of the selection spots. Although it was unclear when I posted the rules in the opening post, I did not foresee this event to take place. Now that this situation has presented itself, the Galactic Senate established the rule in my last post. The rule aligns with respect to the random selection process. Please accept the random order that was produced from the drawing of names from the hat. Thank you.
Fucking ridiculous.

Add me, ult, and Mike D., and that's half the league.
EDIT: No it isn't.
After the appeal hearing before the Galactic Senate, it has been determined that a majority vote is needed to overturn the initial ruling. The FRBI League has 14 owners and 8 votes will be needed to overturn the initial ruling. The deadline will be Sunday at 9:00 PM Dee Nee time.
I am in favor of allowing the trade, although I'd note that I only have half a vote.

You are one of 14 owners. A full one.
Fine by me
ONE MORE VOTE AND DARKY'S REIGN OF TERROR WILL BE BROUGHT TO ITS KNEES!!!
This league is better than the dee-nee keeper league.
I see no reason why the trade should not be allowed. It's definitely fair, there are no shenanigans involved, and it doesn't affect the league negatively. You should let it go through, Darky.
That's 7 official votes. Ultimate needs to officially confirm this trade. He has not posted in this thread and the Galactic Senate does not allow ghost votes.
Darky, the Galactic Senate isn't on this ship, is it?
(http://www.monacaron.com/images/large/titanic-sinking.jpg)
IF THIS IS A CONSULAR SHIP, WHERE IS THE AMBASSADOR?!?!
I'm cool with the trade.
Seriously Darky --- 10th? I'm one of the 2 people on this board (not sure who the other is) who doesn't give you shit and you give me the 10th pick!!!!!
DAMN YOU!!!!!!
This is the first time this season--and certainly not the last--that the Sally Cunts have DESTROYED the Empire.
It's gonna be a great year.
The initial ruling has been overturned. The Sally Cunts shall receive picks 9 & 12, and Ultimate7 shall receive picks 6 & 15. After the second round, both teams will revert to their initial slots in the draft selection that the initial random drawing produced.
No further trading of selection picks will be allowed.
This shit didn't happen when I ran Fantasy RBI Baseball.
Of course, seasons actually took the length of a real baseball season to finish, so there's that...
Actually, your last season as the commissioner for season IV of the FRBI league took a full calendar year---and with only 12 games plus the playoffs. That was torture man. You did a great job though with everything else.

This makes even less sense than trying to deny the Cunts/FU trade. I didn't see any harm in that trade, nor did I see any need to let it pass through.
But if you're going to allow them to trade then the rest of the owners should have the same opportunity.
SHENANIGANS!
It's an uprising!

The ruling is final. An exception was allowed and the book is official closed on this matter.
This is not the Old Republic. Welcome to the theocratic Sith Order of the Galactic Empire. You don't know the power of the Dark Side!(http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/dvd/ep6/arrive9.jpg)
I don't care as much if you make autocratic decisions... but they should at the very least fairly affect all owners the same way.
Darky, I don't think you can allow the initial trade then say no more trades are allowed.
Just do the right thing --- allow trades up to a set trade deadline (say week 16 or so).
Trading is a very fun part of the league.
Or just allow people to trade draft positions if they want.

Well, the main thing is that I want the draft to run smoothly. The last thing I need is for selection swapping during the draft. It's too much work. It may seem insignificant to you guys, but I put in a lot of hours running this league----putting the schedule together, running the games, recording them on youtube, scoring the games, recaps, stats etc.

No. I've already bent far enough and there comes a time when the commissioner has to put his foot down. If somebody really wants to swap that bad in the first two rounds like the Sally Cunts and Ultimate did, then I may allow it and a majority vote will authorize it. And it has to be done in the same manner---meaning only in the first two rounds.
Trading will be allowed from weeks 8-12. No exceptions.
Darky, you've lost your marbles. No one is trying to trade during the draft, it hasn't even started yet. Make the rule that no trade are allowed until week 8 and enforce it. However, to say, no one else can trade draft positions is craziness. Why exactly are those two allowed to trade their draft slots and the other teams are not? Put your foot down but keep it consistent.

I just did. Did you not understand my last post? I said I will allow swapping of draft positions (same manner as the Sally Cunts/Ultimate) if somebody really feels they want to do it for the first two rounds only---and this regards only selection pics---not players. I've stayed firm on my stance on trading players since the OP---weeks 8-12. Is Lent driving you mad? haha
Everybody needs to focus on Monday's draft and let's just move on please. Typical Nacho BS for starting this whole mess. And any other stupid suggestions about trades will be ignored. WEEKS 8-12.

Yeah, I did. Your offer is being taken under consideration.
I love this thread.
Trades during the draft make it more interesting, you don't even have to change your lisitng, just add (traded to XXX for pick xx) after the pick
The Sally Cunts welcome all trade offers and look forward to over-riding Darky's attempts to veto.
I have compiled all the pitching stats together from all the seasons and ran it through my formula for ranking the pitchers. I now have a very strong idea on who the top and bottom tier SP's and RP's are. I have 4 tiers for the SP's and 3 tiers for the RP's.
I also upgraded and tweaked my player rankings from using the data from season V and combing that with seasons II-IV. Our advanced scouts have a very strong idea on what kind of numbers and performances we can reasonably expect from the players in a 22 game season. We know which players fits in with our juggernaut program and who doesn't.
The draft hasn't even started and the Galactic Empire already has the Look!
So Darky, you really aren't sharing the stats from seasons II-IV? That's really lame...
Quote from: Nacho on 02/20/10, 08:53:47 AM
So Darky, you really aren't sharing the stats from seasons II-IV? That's really lame...
I gave you the link already and all you had to do was download the stats from Fighton's rbi page that included the stats from seasons II-IV. Not very hard to do. This isn't charity man.
And I've seen that only three people downloaded the stats from season V in the Final Stats thread that I have up. This is why my program consistently wins, we put in the effort, we have advanced scouting reports, and a superior ranking system. Plus the players always play hard for me. Empire heads up ball!!!
Quote from: Nacho on 02/20/10, 08:53:47 AM
So Darky, you really aren't sharing the stats from seasons II-IV? That's really lame...
Oh yeah, that link to fighton's rbi page only had the stats from seasons II-III. The stats from season IV can be found by using the search function. It's a little maze to run through, but it's there. I went through a lot of work digging those stats up, and there is not a chance I'm gonna just attach them so you guys can get a free shortcut.
In any case, I've now combined all the stats together from seasons II-V in a spreadsheet. Season I is unavailable and can't be found anywhere. And I'm not sharing my spreadsheet. I put in a lot of effort to put that together and that gives me the edge for the draft on Monday. However, you may buy it from me for 75 dollars. Supply and demand'D!!!1111
I'm not going to cry about this season, but it would be nice if at some point the compiled stats could be made public as league information. Not that I expect anyone to give up their hard-earned personal work. Maybe as the as a sort of "statute of limitations" runs out.
Many people have contributed to the community in different ways with information being released to the public and I would think more than just fantasy players would be interested in this information.
I'd compile it and make it public if only I knew how to merge excel files. I'm pretty pathetic.
TBG, those stats will be released after the draft at some point during the season. I literally spent all week on finishing up season V and then combining those stats with seasons II-IV (season I stats can't be found). There is just no way I'm going to release that so other people can use it to their advantage for the upcoming draft since I am a participant in the league and put in literally painful hours to get that done---it just doesn't seem fair to do that since I put in so much effort. Anyone can do it for themselves. I know it would be nice for other people to see, but they are going to have to wait. It's not like the stock market is hinging on these stats lol....
Also, seasons II-III does not have the stats for homeruns given up by a pitcher, and season II did not include all the players since only 8 teams participated.
In any case, here are the stats from seasons II-IV.
Quote from: Nacho on 02/20/10, 09:35:24 AM

You can't merge those excel sheets together since the formulas for the cells are not all uniform. You have to manually make your own spread sheet and tally up the stats from the other excel sheets/seasons. That is what I did. Have fun and good luck getting that done before Monday ;)
So Darky, you're saying that at some point during the season you will release a spreadsheet that has combined statistics for seasons 2-5? That's awesome. I can live with that. Thanks for your hard work.
Huge day in the RBI world tomorrow. I just paid a few home visits tonight with some players who we feel may fit in with the Empire's heads up ball style of play. They are borderline and we had to get a better sense by visiting with them. And they practically begged me to draft them. They want to be a part of your class organization. ;) Who doesn't want to join a champion?
Anyways, hopefully tecmoturd will make his pic early so we can roll through the first day. I'm going to have my kids tomorrow since they have winter break, so expect a couple of lockdowns tomorrow before I am able to get back in front of the computer.
why would you lock the thread if there isn't a time limit on the picks?
You expect anything else?
When is the earliest I can make my pick? I've known all weekend what it will be.

So I can update the OP with all the draft picks. We'll see. If I do have to step away, maybe I'll just let things flow. Although there is no time limit on draft picks, that does not mean waiting a whole day or two. I'll use my discretion on that should there be a penalty---like losing a spot in that round.

Thats just fucking stupid.
You may as well just say who you're picking, they do it in the NFl and NBA anyways already.
Also, another factor of me being around when the draft is going on is so I can see the pick when it's posted and then record it and type it in on the first page. Let it be known, that once you make that pick and post it, there is NO TURNING BACK. Meaning you can't go and delete your pick then make a new pick.
In addition, if you pick a player that has already been picked, then you'll be notified asap. I also need to be around to catch that so the next guy does not make the next pick---in that event, that pick wont count until the twice chosen players is replaced.
On the 15th you said it would be in 2 weeks.
So we're drafting now?
damn. . . I need help -- gonna be in DC for the week. Who wants to help me out with texts / phone calls? The only day I'll have trouble making picks is Wednesday during the afternoon and evening.

Just do your best. Wednesday maybe I can slow down the draft to one or two rounds...depending on how many picks you can make.

I had to drop my boy off at day-care and the roads were crap with the latest snow this morning, so I had a feeling you fuckers were ravenous with impatience, but I made it as quick as possible...I'll try to follow the thread all day and make my other pick as promptly as possible...good luck everyone...
no worries turd, your right on time with the pick.
darky whats the parameters for time length to make our picks? 2 hours? like to know when im on the clock if TBG is still sleeping.

I think he said that there is no official limit, just don't take all day.

No time limit, I expect everybody to be responsible and to make their picks asap. TBG should make his pick when he awakes shortly. Ryno has indicated some concerns, so we know that. Otherwise, if anyone thinks they can take 1 full day to make their pick without notifying me of some problems, then I'll use my discretion if I decide to penalize the person---which could mean losing 1 or more spots in that particular round.
Cool Beef is here, so he can make a pick for team TBG/Beef.
The TBG/BeefMaster conglomerate selects Mark McGwire, IF.
Just a reminder---check the opening post on the first page of this thread to see who was taken and to see whose picks are coming up---in case you don't have your own spreadsheet or paperwork for this.

He was logged in this morning....he did say that he has class during the day and will make his picks asap in between classes.
Sorry, 9-11:30 class. And screw you Beef. Stealing my franchise player... one sec
Surely you couldn't have banked on McGwire falling to #4...
I had not banked on it, and I expected him to be drafted early. I just expected to complain about it too after last year people said "wtf at drafting him early" and then he raked for me.

I got a message into mclane to discuss our next pick, but he may be busy at work. Could be a bit, if I don't hear back in an hour I'll make the pick myself.
Just pick Spillman already
Sounds to me like the PD management is having some communication issues. That spells bad news for the team.
Kirk Gibson, OF
Sorry for the delay, gentleman. Hopefully won't happen again. Poopydicks select Kirk Gibson. Eat it.
What Gantry said.
Really wasn't a big delay either mclane, just did the pre-emptive "we may be awhile" post so these bitches didn't follow me around and post "ITS YOUR PICK NOW!" in every thread I viewed on AG.

Im confused as to why this matters....every player has to be picked so it isnt like someone is gonna somehow pick Babe Ruth in the late rounds.
Also, who fucking cares? Why would anyone take a fake 25 year old baseball video game season so seriously?

out of respect for everyone else drafting...
reds, i like this stuff and have fun doing it. i bust out my spreadsheet many times throughout the year and go through information and comparisons. it's just something i enjoy.
And someone mentioning other players makes it less fun?
I just talked to Ryno on the phone and everything is okay. Nothing funny happened and the situation is resolved. And Ryno has an awesome southern accent...made me horny.
names? what names?
Darky did talk to me. He's using a cave man cell phone that is unable to send text messages.
Baylor is fine with me.
darky talks fast, huh? that's the only thing i remember.
He talks like every other Swede I've talked to.
Quote from: TβG on 02/22/10, 06:43:54 PM

Yep, last pick of the 7th round. He hit .496 last year and led the league in 3B's. Great leadoff hitter and top tier speed with a little pop---he hit 3 jacks last year.

I understand people have lives, but please respect us junkies who have stopped the world for this draft.
We lost a round today (18 picks) because of an honest mistake committed by Ultimate. Shit happens, but this honest mistake could have been easily avoided. I believe most of us were REALLY frustrated tonight. And it is our right to be frustrated---existentially speaking.
BE SURE TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PICK. If you don't have your own draft sheet, you can still see all the picks in the opening post of this thread. Please do this, it can save a lot of time for many of us.
I'll leave the draft board open and if Ultimate makes his CORRECT selection, then feel free to make your picks up until my slot. I'm going to turn it in.
This is the best thread we've had in weeks.
Fuck, sorry I fucked up. I swear I looked for Garner twice, I did see that Speier was picked but missed Garner

It's the last pinch hitter and they don't see that many at-bats. There are no difference makers at the bottom of the pile here (unless you have your eye on Pedrique or Santana) and I really want Gantry to finish up since he's lagged really hard on his last two picks---HOURS!!!!!
Well, you're slowing things down by stopping me from picking too...

Not sure how to set up differentiating between pitchers/hitters (not very good at the "IF" equations), but just replace L with a "1" in the column after the player name and it should accumulate a total at the bottom.
