General Managers Keeper League

[kaviksdad]

Here is the free agent draft order, based on cumulative records since the league began:

1 - Smitty
2 - Cubit
3 - Palmtana
4 - Ninersphan
5 - Ehlekev
6 - Kaviksdad
7 - Cummings
8 - Nythawk
9 - AFDickie
10 - Smokey
11 - Qksilver
12 - Sandlotshrink

The spring prospect draft order, based on the previous season's w/l record, is this:

1 - Palmtana
2 - Smitty
3 - Cummings
4 - Ninersphan
5 - Nythawk
6 - Cubit
7 - Ehlekev
8 - Sandlotshrink
9 - Kaviksdad
10 - Qksilver
11 - AFDickie
12 - Smokey

Smitty and Cummings were tied, with Cummings having the better head to head record. Kev, Sandy and I all tied with 85-77 records. I had a better head to head record against both, so I go to the bottom. Sandy and Kev tied head to head, so I matched head to head records back to the previous seasons, and Sandy has the advantage, so Kev gets the better pick.

It's all convoluted, but it matches up with our historical orders so I'm confident it's all good.

Here are the divisional assignments for season one next year, based on the cumulative records since the league began:

East Division:

Sandlotshrink (796-662)
Qksilver (776-682)
Smokey (769-689)
AFDickie (766-692)

Central Division:

Nythawk (761-697)
Cummings* (760-698)
Kaviksdad (720-738)
Ehlekev* (708-750)

West Division:

Ninersphan (698-760)
Palmtana* (687-771)
Cubit (656-802)
Smitty* ((651-807)

Sandy's got a big lead in overall w/l record. Half the league is over .500 historically, and half below. Smitty, Cummings, Ehlekev and Palmtana are replacement owners, so their records are partially due to their predecessors. Dave has 10 playoff appearances to lead the league, closely followed by Sandy with 9. Dave, Sandy and Hawk all have 2 championships (not including this season). If Dave wins he'll have 3 - if Smokey wins he'll have 2 and join the leaders. Other than Dickie, nobody else has won a championship.

I've posted the draft orders and divisional assignments for 2012 season 1.

We may need a replacement owner, as I've not been able to contact Sandy.

I'm tentatively setting March 19th as the start of our free agent draft. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

I'll be getting a roster update out this weekend, and will set up a drop thread over the weekend as well. I'm going to set Friday, March 16th as the date drops are officially due.

I have been simming against his team, and it's a monster. Very likely I will be playing for the WC in season one, but should be a great challenge. Here is the lineup I am playing for him vs. RHs right now:

Utley 2B
Granderson CF
Napoli C
Fielder 1B
Stanton RF
S Smith (DH)
Tulo SS
Parra LF
Beltre 3B

It's killer, and with Verlander to anchor a strong rotation, he looks tough to beat.

[Ninersphan]

I'll try this again...

Hitters:
Soto
K Morales
A Lind
C Headley
C Johnson
E Aybar, [b:c9d5abe91c]a 1e16 at ss and an * 19 base stealer to boot[/b:c9d5abe91c]

I trade my 1st Rd FA pick this year to Dave for B.J. Upton and drop Kila Ka'aihue to get back to 40.

I'm going to push back the tentative draft date to the week of March 26th (although it may change). I'm sure we all have a ton of leagues getting going early, so it would be better for me (and a couple others) to push this league back a bit.

And I've just emailed to roster update to everybody. If you didn't get it let me know -
