Yes, but Venable had already been picked, you need to repick.. :wink:

I think he's referring to your repick, since Venable was taken by Zim in the 18th round

I know we're drafting a full roster of 28, but the maximum number of pitchers allowed on a team is 12.

So for those teams that have drafted more than 12 pitchers, they essentially have an illegal roster...

That keeps pitchers that would be eligible to be drafted off the boards for the other teams, and yet they can't all be retained once the season starts anyway.

Any thoughts on this....??

Hmmmmm,

by my count I'm the ONLY person that has 13 pitchers, so clearly you mean ME.

The reason is VERY simple, I'm hedging against the possibilty that one of them (Neftali Feliz) doesn't get a card. If he doesn't suddenly I'm at 12 pitchers and all is right with the world.
Again, I don't see it as an issue. Sorry if I'm "holding" a guy you want, offer me a trade. :wink:

[keyzick]

Actually you're not the only one...thisisdan is in the same situation. I don't know that I would have taken anyone different. Just an observation since I thought we had to still draft a team that fits the TSN guidelines.

Besides, if one of your guys were not carded, you'd have to replace him with a 0.50 guy, so drafting extra players to replace him wouldn't work.

True but just because I replace him with a .50 player doesn't mean I have to use him, does it? I didn't see that in the rules. We draft 28, doesn't say we have keep all 28, it only says we can't replace an uncarded guy with anything higher than .50 guy.
There is nothing that says, you have to keep all 28 players active all the time.
Instead I drafted an insurance policy and if he doesn't get a card I won't replace him at all and I'm out 1 draft pick. If he [i:492dea146b]does[/i:492dea146b] get a card I wasted a pick on an extra pitcher. I'm out a pick either way and the rest of you have 28 men (Except dan, gotta check and see what pitcher of his I missed) and I still only have 27, so you all have an advantage over me in that reguard.

I think this becomes an issue because dan originaly wrote the .50 replacement rule for a 25 man roster and didn't regard what having 28 draft picks would do to that rule.

Soon as we agreed to 28, I simply saw 3 extra picks to use to take a chance on a guy who might not get a card.

Sorry if I inturpreted that wrong, and if dan wants me to cut a pitcher I guess I will...

BTW, he won't be ruling on anything to soon he sent me a PM for his stadium 'cause he's gonna be tied up most of the day.

Anyone else want to jump into the discussion???
Am I out of wack in my interpretation??
What do the rest of you think???


On a seperate note...

Is the clock on for the stadium draft???

I have proxies for both picks after misterg's..
