D2D trash talk and draft comments thread

yes. we will go as many as needed to get to 30. I actually have 19 rounds posted as I copy/pasted a part of last years and amended from it.. Don't think anyone will need that as you can cut to 20 but NO LESS than 15. so everyone will have at least 15 and only 15 rounds will be needed at most.

I'm putting a couple relievers on the trade table.

Koji Uehara and Blake Treinen. Looking for 2017 FA picks.

Thank you

Looks like stadium ratings are out. Bottom 8 teams (see history tab or draft '17 order) have the option to keep their stadium or change to an unclaimed stadium. Also anyone can trade stadiums.

Do you want to do the stadium changes now or wait for the cards to drop?

I would be for being open to the option of trading stadiums now. Also, now that we have the '16 stats and defensive ratings along with stadium ratings, I personally feel we could begin the draft. However, I know that traditionally, the spreadsheet gurus want to study the cards beforehand. Also, it may be good to know what borderline players get carded. BTW, I have Progressive and it is second only to Coors in a composite hitters park number (54) and may not have the pitching staff to handle it. I would be open to trade offers perhaps. Just my iron nickel's worth.

heekin,

you definitely CAN trade stadiums now. That's in the rules. you can trade stadiums at any time. But...the bottom 8 from the 2015 seasons also have the opportunity to change to one of the unclaimed stadiums. Do we want to go through that process now or wait on that until after the cards come out. I'd say wait...it should be really quick to say Keep it or change to such and such a stadium.

I suppose it will be like a mini-draft? What is the order or should we just express interest? Thanks

Stadium Changes work like this:

1. Anyone can trade stadiums with anyone else.
2. The bottom 8 teams can change stadiums to an unclaimed stadium. This will be done from worst team to 8th worst based on the 2015 seasons records.
3. Then.... any team that had their stadium change by +/- 6 in one category or +/- 15 in all categories total can change to an unclaimed stadium. This will be first come, first served on the D2D trash talk thread (this thread here)

we will begin step 2 on this list when the new cards come out.

League-wide Email was sent out detailing the beginning of the season. If you didn't get it, please pm me with an updated email address and I will send it to that address.

Thanks and welcome to the 2nd year of D2D baseball
