YIKES (AGAIN)!!! SHIFTING SANDS -- Dose #2

[MEAT]

thanks foggy...sent you another proxy for next round two in case unc doesn't surface before I do battle with the l-a freeways... :cry:

[FoggyOne]

Stick Picks are not subject to Alphabet. So if you get suck with a high priced "S", you can (and may have to) carry two "S" (if S isnt your SDAL).

If you can figure out a way to use your stick pick, you could (conceivably) release your other "S" and select an unused letter.


The question is if you can use your stuck player, can you release your other same alphabet player and free up some cash to upgarde another letter?

Probably "YES" because you would still be alphabet compliant AND would still be stuck with the Pavano Stick Picks.

Thoughts?

[FoggyOne]

If there is significant opposition to allowing opposite SP sticks and (follwoing Sticks) allowing for rosters below 26 (as long as you are them comlpliant - utilizing stick pick(s)), then we will go with the Firm 26 roster and no sticking of opposite SPs.

However, I think "less than 26 possible" and sticking of opposite SPs should be OKAY.

i think the stick pick alphabet letter should be like a joker in poker...if you have it, it doesnt count towards any alphabet letter. thus, if you get stuck with an S as your stick pick, it shouldnt matter if you drop an S or a T or an U, etc.

[FoggyOne]

Disagree Spicki. that wasn't my intent. I want people to be thinking about the stickee team's alphabet issues when sticking.

Under my formulation/proposal/intent, the Stick Pick doesn't count as your second letter, BUT it coud count as your first (if you release a drafted player).

This shouldn't be a problem. BUT if is, we will go with firm 26 player requirement where Stick Picks don't/can't count towards alphabet.

[spicki17]

im fine with whatever. lets just make it clear before the first stick pick is made and stick to it for the rest of the season.

wockenfuss,

Not sure I agree w/ you. The "24" alphabet rule came in late - well after the STICK rule.

I believe (and I"m sure I can find it) that it was expessly stated that the 2 STICKS would be AFTER THE AUTODRAFT and INDEPENDANT to any and all other themes

Which interperts to this owner as meaning NEITHER to be used to comply with OPPOSITE, ALPHABET, DEF ratings, ERA, DECADE, etc.....not just solely to comply w/ the AlAPHEBET.

Let me see if I can dig up those posts.

BUT, Pavano Stick picks should and hereby are 24 Exempt. getting stuck won't require you to dump another player based on 24 theme.

so it is written.......so it shall be

Number One, make it so.

ONE ADDITIONAL THOUGHT:

Shouldn't SP stick picks be RHP/LHP theme eligible (other than 24). Seems silly to stick a RHP with Koufax. WE might as well just lower the cap.

Ok, still works I guess.

So what you are saying is that we use my 24 LETTER player + 2 STICK PICKS = 26 player rosters for the season. Correct ?

Thus, after the autodraft we all drop 1 player to get to 24 then add the STICK picks after and only after that.

I am fine with that but let's also agree than the STICK PICKS NEITHER cout FOR or AGANIST the 24 - they are in a League of their own so to speak.

..thus, if you get STUCK with a "T" it is not held against you to pick another but it also can not be used to be complinant either with your base 24. Cool ?

Is it too late to hit the delete button to this nightnare. I ma seeing draft lists in my sleep..... all out of compliance. [/quote:d8107937f4]

[pacoboy]

wockenfuss/all - the point was EXPRESSLY addressed to the "LETTER" :wink:

Whatever Letters you get stuck with can [b:cdfbf6bd16]NOT[/b:cdfbf6bd16] be used to comply w/ 24.
