Anyone have a problem with doubling up for rounds 13-14 and 15-16, since we're talking bench guys/RPs at that point?

Don't do that. The people in round 13 who are before me gain an advantage since I pick next to last. RP's are huge in RBI and those who have their hands on the stats know the better ones. So absolutely no way since the people with the early picks in round 13 gain a huge advantage like they had in the first round. Stick with the normal draft and it's too late to just dump this change as we go. Stay professional.

Are you feeling OK? Seems like you've been really touchy about how this draft/league is being run.

[TempoGL]

It is kind of bogus to change the draft format once you begin

Plus there are the BENCH PLAYERS. We are going to have 16 extra position players on the bench and dudes doubling up in round 13 who have the earlier picks will gain a huge advantage for the best players left not drafted to a position. Very dumb idea since it hurts all owners who don't pick early in the 13th round. Fuck that. Again, you can't just go and change drafting rules on the fly.

I concur. No need to double up on picks in later rounds.

[fightonusc]

Then we won't. Calm down, Francis(es)

It's "lighten up Francis". You just made the list buddy!

Went back and forth (forever) on taking Whitaker. Decided against it, thinking too early. Guess not.

[Darky]

All cool fighton! I only brought up the last time you ran a season and gave you shit because it took almost one full calendar year. The other stuff I talked about was me offering to help out if its needed to make things easier for everyone - so no cows being had and all cool and the gang. Yeah, I reacted to your draft format change suggestion since it came out of LF and wasn't thought out. SOMEBODY HAS TO STAND UP TO THE COMMISSIONER!!! 1 1! ! ! All cool though Señor Sensitive!

He's the first 2B taken so far and the 2B position has good depth. You certainly made a sound decision with Dwning instead of Whitkr considering the situation you were in. Surprised you didn't go with Hendersn but not much of a difference between those two. So no surprise really.

Second base is the shittiest position and has no depth.  Whitaker is the best but even then his power is 837.  I would have gone with Whitaker at this pick as well.  Now the next bunch are all within 20-30 power of each other so it'll probably be the last position I draft now.

SS has the worst depth in total value. If you know the right 2B to take, you can find gems who will give you good enough production. Some of the bottom tier 2B have outperformed higher tier SS's or at least been equal in overall production. Power is king, but speed is also significant since speed can prolong innings in many ways. The stats tell me this btw.

Are trades allowed?

Are trades allowed?

Yes.

Speaking of trades, are the players allowed to wife-swap?

I'll trade you Jim Rice for 1 night with your girlfriend.
