PJs Keeper League

[Mr Baseball World]

I am going to wait for pjmb and bobby to change their picks.

[B.o.b.b.y...]

Messed up...sorry... My stadium is ready to be approved for a drop. Thanks...Bobby

[Mr Baseball World]

I approved your drop bobby. Now if we get pjmb to drop his we can move forward. Don't know if we need to back up to pjmb's spot and restart from there. I will let pj decide. :D

I think perhaps we have another problem..... I thought the ruling on choosing a new stadium was that you MUST pick a stadium that no one else has.

Ace picked Memorial 70 and I do think that might be my park.

Sorry Rob didn't see that let me see what other park will work & I'll just manually post it here.

Holy smokes are we off to a rocky start. Let me try to figure out all the problems, then come up with solutions.

[PJ Axelsson]

Here's the old posting of the protocol:

[quote:1421db8b76]Okay, here is what I propose for the next league.

We've all got 8 keepers and a stadium (or 7 keepers and need to draft a stadium). We'll use Penn's thing again and list our keepers as our first proxy picks. Once we get through this, everyone should have made 8 picks.

For anyone changing their stadiums, they will need to include their stadium selection as one of their first 8 picks. Since we are not competing for players at this point, you can announce your stadiums based on draft order. So far, Ace and Mr.BBW are the only ones changing stadiums. We still need to hear from Rob, Minnie, and Dr.X on their keeper lists. Once we do, you can go ahead and announce your new stadiums based on the draft order posted below.

Essentially, the draft for new players will start with the 9th round. Ed will have the first pick at this point, and we'll go through a live draft as we have before. I'm opposed to using a clock, since we're deep into the keeper league and missing a pick screws you for future leagues as well. That, and the fact that everyone here knows the proper etiquette for live drafts and we'll inform everyone if we'll be away for a length of time.

We will draft 12 rounds. For those of us keeping our stadium, that will be our 12th pick. This will give every team 20 players and 1 stadium. The remaining players will be autodrafted with a waiver.

One common problem we always have is how to deal with salary caps for those who want to draft based on 23 players on the roster vs. 25. Does anyone have a good way to deal with this?


I will go ahead and create the draft on Penn's site now, and send you all the info when I do. We can enter our proxies for keepers and stadiums and once that all goes through, then we will officially start the draft sometime after Nov. 8, once the Vegas crew clears their collective heads. Anyone who can't be available at this point or any time in the near future, just let us know.

It's pretty clearly spelled out. So, what we'll do is this. We'll pause the draft from this point on and wait for PJMB to drop his stadium and make his pick for the 9th round. Then Bobby can resume the draft with his 9th round pick. Then we can proceed as normal. All current picks will stand, and I'm sure PJMB won't have issue with this, since Delancey and Drysdale are both still on the FA list... :P

Regarding the stadium issue, it sounds like Rob and Ace have already resolved it.


Dr. X. is going to be gone the week of Thanksgiving. Not sure exactly what days this entails, but we've got a week to bang the rest of this short draft out, we can do it!

:D

I'm really sorry for the mess fellas. I misread something somewhere along the way and I've had almost no internet access for the last few days. A long story, I won't bore you with the details.

Stadium drop waiting for approval. Thanks.

[edbazo]

Went ahead and approved it.

[Private Jet Mama's Boys]

Thanks Ed.

Again fellas. apologies for the delay and the screw up.
