The RBI Baseball League

Yep. Seems like the draft website is working well thus far.

[Guido13]

HAHA STOKAGE! Draft in full effect. GL to the competitors.

Good Luck to you as well... I only hope my tough draft position doesn't hurt my year one squad. Either way it's going to be really fun.

And if I finish last I can draft that Harper guy next year.

[Guido13]

RBIKong just took my favorite player...

[Turd]

Mine is Braun. Sometimes winning is more important than chumming with your favorite players.

[Guido13]

However, losing would be more fun with Ichiro than with Joey Votto... just ask Ken Griffey Jr.

Zing.

[Turd]

Joey Votto is right up there with Chase Utley for my secod favorite. Both of them help my fantasy team out greatly.

[Guido13]

Chase Utley took the Brewers out of the playoffs Turd... I'm gonna go find your car and pee on it!

[Turd]

So did Sabathia by choking. Granted he had about 5 minutes rest between starts, but still.

Fielder and Ichiro

Hey Turd. I was doing some scouting on my draft players, and I noticed Jack Cust isnt available in the league draft pool. Is there an updated rom that you used when Cust got cut, or was this just an oversight? The A's players listed as OF'ers are Crisp and Davis, but no RF'er.

[Guido13]

Mis-draft...

I call for a re-draft!

[Turd]

Well, I found the problem.  For some reason, I had three guys labeled as DH and not B (for bench), so they weren't showing up as available players in the draft.  That means that the last three picks can't be made because we'll be 3 available guys short.

Position,FieldPosition,Name,Bats,Average,HR,Contact,Power,Speed
DH,Cust,1,240,25,26,866,122,20
DH,Grffey,1,214,19,30,832,120,25
DH,Burrel,0,221,14,29,804,122,27

I don't think we can enter these guys in the draft because it would be unfair to people who wanted to draft them before...perhaps we'll just give the last three picks a guy with stats equal to the worst available batter in the draft pool.

Dammit.

[Guido13]

That's fine by me, as long as I get to name my mystery player.

Perhaps average the players taken in the final round.

[Turd]

That's a better idea.  Average it is.

[Guido13]

Turd - I thought I got the "you're up" text last night... I don't seem to be up... did I get auto'd or something.

Let me know, power is out at my house, couldn't get online last night.

[Turd]

I did text you that you were up, but since you didn't make your time, I auto'd you...the rule was that in these later rounds, you'd get the guy with the most power available, and then the highest curve pitcher if your batters were full.  Your next picks would be at 5:30 today...

Should be done with round 9 with your picks.  Then we should be able to fly through rounds 10-16 and get preseason going...

[Guido13]

Problem with the auto'd situation is now I have two LF's... how's that gonna work position wise?

I don't mind the auto at all, just that I cant make a lineup.

[Turd]

The rules state any player can play any position...you don't need to draft by position!  In fact, if that were the case, the site wouldn't allow it, but I have that turned off.

From the rules (www.rbibaseball.us/league/rules.php)
"For this season, your batters can play any non-pitching fielding position."

[Guido13]

Oh!!! Okay, great, I've got no problems then... I just can't wait to play.

[Turd]

Me too. Last rounds should fly.
