Iron Gloves & Gopher Balls - Full

[voovits]

Boy did I make a blunder...

I forgot to check "delete if group picked" in my proxies, so after I drafted Waits, it never removed Kravec from the list, thus he got drafted. I hope I don't miss out on my next guy now...

I offer this reminder only because I almost messed it up myself. Only two iron glove catcher-eligible players per team. One is fine. Three is a no-no.

[quote:139d13999b="voovits"]There is a potential problem.

When you click on Steve Stones card in the draft list (pick #33), it incorrectly links to Tom Bradley. If JSAM picked Stone thinking he was getting Bradleys card, he may want to remake the pick.

Otherwise, then I guess it makes no difference.[/quote:139d13999b]

I wanted Stone...figure that his name is perfect for the league's theme. :D

[quote:97d812c2c0="FAaron"]Most of the players taken so far are multi-position, so you can move them around to fit your lineup or try to hide a bad glove. By the way, any chance we'll see Kingman playing third this year? :D[/quote:97d812c2c0]

No, the King will see time in right where he is 4...Bailey at first, Hebner at 3rd and Stevie Wonder at second...can't be any worse than the jokers I have at the OF corners. :shock:

I think this league will all come down to the teams that are lucky enough to get the most "good" seasons from the marginal players. I just grabbed Blass. He could be a stud in this league, or I could get his awful season and see him lose 25 games.

I know player salaries are getting very small with what is left, but some teams have to start watching their free cap space.
What happens if someone accidentally drafts a team over 80 million?

[gmac94]

I need to draft an Iron Glove catcher and there are none available. Or am I missing someone?

[pwootten]

$80M is the cap. Some of us, myself included are going to have to get creative.

George, regarding your catching situation, you're either going to have to draft a stud catcher (to back up Munson?), draft a stud who has a catching rating, or make a trade. The positions that are in shortest supply, as per the spreadsheet, are catcher (16) and CF (17). This is why I put the limit on no more than 2 catcher-eligible players per team.

We are moving along pretty well.

I wasn't complaining about the cap, I was just curious as to what happened if it was accidentally exceeded.

The situation is actually not as bad as I originally thought. I made a mistake, in the roster spreadsheets I put together for myself, I gave everyone a 70 mil cap by accident so everyones free space was wrong.

[AllStarInc]

I'm in the same boat as George. No catchers to take. I've already used my four stud picks.

I had 5 catchers in my proxy at most times but they never rotated up.

When I enter my team should I drop one of my studs and pick up a different guy who is catcher eligible?

I can do that now, or I can wait until after the draft is over?
