Draft coming up. For the two new managers, should they take over the rosters of departing managers or draft anew? This hasn't really been discussed before my apologies.

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Are they not at a disadvantage if they don't at least have the option to retain players from previous rosters?

 

[Imanalt]

they shoudl definitely be randomly assigned someone else's options for keepers

 

[biggie]

What do you mean randomly assigned? One gets one team to pick from and the other gets the other one?

 

[biggie]

What if we pool all the players from the two teams and the two of them have a mini-draft to determine their keepers?

 

[Imanalt]

also reposting my keepers in nice format:
1) Michael Brantley $13.5 ( 0 / 27 )
2) Nolan Arenado $9 ( 1 / 18 )
3) Christian Yelich $7 ( 0 / 14 )
4) Jake Arrieta $6.5 (0 / 13 )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Imanalt , you will spend $44 for your keepers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I went ahead and did the keeper draft for cbt and greenlean. Results:

CBT:

Felix Hernandez - $29
Freddie Freeman - $27
Justin Upton - $21
Julio Teheran - $6.5
Jacoby Ellsbury - $32
Aroldis Chapman - $21

Total: $136.50->$137

Greenlean:

Evan Longoria - $32
Albert Pujols - $25
Andrew Cashner - $4.5
Jon Lester - $7.5
Hisashi Iwakuma - $6.5
Daniel Murphy - $6.5

Total: 82

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Uh BiGGiE why are they automatically being assigned keepers and not having the coption to choose their keepers? Or at least reject some if the players were randomized

 

[biggie]

I should clarify, they were both on PS so we did what I had in fact suggested: held a mini-draft for them by pooling all the players from both abandoned teams.

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

I'm killing you all on Saturday

 

[Del Rio]

This will be fun... We've got some good competition. Hope Stall keeps all his top dollar guys

BiGGiE where are you getting your projected values?

 

[Stallion]

BiGGiE where are you getting your projected values?

Not all of them.

Keepers:

Mike Trout: $69
Andrew McCutchen: $49
Devin Mesoraco: $6
Mookie Betts: $6.5 ($7)
Alex Wood: $6.5 ($7)
Jacob deGrom: $4

Total: $141 ($142)

 

[Stallion]

Also I apologise for the double post but it's 100% necessary here, but there's a few changes I might make to keepers between now and the deadline, so don't assume that's necessarily who I'm keeping, it's a preliminary list.

 

[biggie]

Del Rio If you go into Draft and then Edit Pre-Draft values, you can find the default listing of every player. I copied these all into Excel to create a database to keep track of and verify everyone's values.

Stallion The deadline for when to finalize keepers has been extended to Friday.

Edit: Putting Pookar's keepers here. Will edit in values when I get home.

Anthony Rizzo
Jonathan Lucroy
Neil Walker
Adam Eaton
Max Scherzer
Jordan Zimmerman

 

[cb aaron judge]

BiGGiE can you change my final keeper from chapman to lynn if possible, new cap hit of $121 i think?

 

[Del Rio]

Del Rio If you go into Draft and then Edit Pre-Draft values, you can find the default listing of every player. I copied these all into Excel to create a database to keep track of and verify everyone's values.

That's where I've been viewing them, but your values don't match what I'm seeing. For example, Klubot is $22 proj, Rendon is $30 proj, Soler is $14 proj, etc.

 

[ButteredToast]

I'm with Del Rio. I thought maybe one of you messed up and were looking at average draft value instead of projected... but Biggie, your values are off. Not saying it's your fault but just pointing it out that maybe you copied some columns wrong.

Nice work on catching that too Del Rio.

 

[biggie]

Maybe the values changed from when I originally copied it? I'll be going through everyone's picks and validating with the corrected values prior to the draft. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Del Rio]

BiGGiE since you said you would be keeping track of everyone's keepers do you have that spreadsheet available for viewing per chance? Would like a master list of who everyone else is keeping.
