HCKL Chat/Trades

Ted, the prospects you need to drop or promote are Spangenberg, Puig and Biddle. You can see them on the "Updated Prospects Rosters" tab on the spreadsheet.

We are waiting on Smokey's drops, he let me know this week he is under a lot of pressure at work so hopefully he will post by morning. Also need Zimm to confirm his prospect promos/drops and put everything on Transactions page.

Will update later on Friday.

And BTW, in case anyone else needed a refresh, the date next to the prospect name is their "expiry" date. If it has 2014 next to their name, you need to cut or promote them now.

Sorry guys work is killing me today. I worked on some of the file updates last night but still have a ways to go. I hope to have final files & draft order out tonight, so look for it tomorrow morning.

Thanks everyone for getting your drops in roughly on time, appreciated.

Cheers,
Dave/Qk

Guys I posted a new draft thread, Craig can start us off there any time. There is no trade freeze so please let me know as you make deals.

I strongly suggest you make even swaps of either picks for players or picks for picks, as uneven pick swaps force us to use supplemental rounds to finish the draft. If you do this you do not get an additional pick in Rnd 11, for example, just because you traded an earlier pick and your assigned picks end in Rnd 10, you will need to wait til the end for a makeup.

Also, in terms of eligible cards, I will be ruling as follows:

We will allow players from the Unleashed set to be played via strict adherence to the following criteria/rules:

a) All SP cards allowed if they have 5 starts and 29.2 IP. If SOM includes a pitcher as a starter with fewer starts or IP, we exclude them manually.
b) All RP cards with 29.2 IP or more will be allowed.
c) All hitter cards with 150 PA or more (AB+BB) will be allowed no matter card value.
d) All hitter cards with at least 50-149 PA will be allowed if card value is less than 6.5M.
e) All catcher cards with at least 50 PAs or more will be allowed if card value is less than 8M.

So there are really 2 effects of this rule, d and e. Crazy hitter cards from 50-149 PAs will be out, as will extremely crazy C cards from 50-149 PAs. But all Ps that would normally qualify will be in.

Please let me know if there is anything unclear, but hopefully these parameters will limit our version of the unleashed set to 2-3 players tops.

Thanks,
Qk

Not going to be around most of today and into Sunday, if it gets to me this weekend look for me pick Sunday late afternoon early evening...

Dave, I see a number of errors in your roster.

Jason - dropped Norboto
Zim - you don't show Mujica and he was not included in drops
Zim - you do not have Sonny Gray & Grant Green on his prospect roster. Should be 2015 picks
Cubit - dropped Hanrahan
Hawk - dropped Rauch
Palmtana - Dom Brown should be on Niners roster. You don't have K Morales or Corey Hart on his roster.
Niners - see Dom Brown above. Also do not have Seth Smith on his roster
Smokey - you do not have Antonio Bastardo on his roster.

Can you confirm division alignment?

Thanks Stoney, think I missed Palm's updated drops and had the 1st version.

In the future guys, please just edit the 1 post, makes it easier. Thanks.

Updated version coming soon but should not stop us from starting once Craig kicks us off...

Palmtana - ARI
