MLB Curveball league

Thought came to mind ... how do we handle the three players drafted on the roster, because not getting one or all of them due to computer would definitely affect waivers. We'll have to live with imperfection here, but there are three optinos:

1) They are top 3 on our roster rankings
2) They are bottom 3
3) They are left off entirely

Thoughts?

I suggest Honor System when putting the draft card together and we place them at the top , that way they dont get mis-allocated and ruin the remainder of everyone's draft card. So i vote option 1)

As long everyone (but the true owner) leaves the players off their draft list entirely then we should be OK. The computer drafter cannot grab a player as a "replacement" if that player exists anywhere on someone's list.

As long as their on someone's list they'll be drafted. So I vote bottom 3

I vote for this also - has worked in other leagues with the same or similar concept

I think the top-3 drafted players can go on the bottom of the draft list. As long as nobody incorrectly picks a drafted player, they should all end up on the correct team.

Can you explain a little how it worked well?

The game engine won't assign a player listed on a draft list as a replacement. Only those players that are not on an actual draft list will become replacements.

Use Goldschmidt as an example - he's rarely picked but often shows as a replacement for higher ranked 1b's.

Even if the player is number 25 on your draft list he'll not be used as a replacement player for someone picked much higher.
