We're temporarily filled. jfree can't draft until next week, so we'll give it to monday to see if any other vets check in with squatting rights. anyone on the list done a draft yet with SOM sight ala the Garcia posting? I'll send them a note and ask to set one up for us. also, if any of the vets still has the link to the 12 season draft matrix, post that here to newbies can get an idea how it shakes out season to season.
went back and looked at our last twelve season league, and it looks like in the last six or so, teams drafting in the top four spots dominated three of the playoff spots, with the 4th coming anywhere from 7th to eleventh. that's kind of to be expected, and the pleasure of getting those top positions a third of the time, but we could also explore a slightly lower salary cap if that's the consensus. the original idea is to have the cap high enough so you could have all the guys you wanted if no one else was there to weasel them in the autodraft, and to build a team, even picking late, that perfectly tailored your park and your theme of pitching, D, O, speed, LH, RH etc....
