2016 Cakeleeg ***OFFICIAL*** - 2017 draft starting soon (1 Viewer)

[Buckfast 1]

Surprisingly Buckfast didn't do as well as he did in his own rankings.  

SoCal's projections must be sleeping on Trumbo this year.  

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Pretty confident Bender and I finish in the money

 

[General Malaise]

I used a draft software also, mostly just for tracking rosters and positions. I don't necessarily agree with their projections, but it's another piece of projecting to look at.

1. cheese 98

2. Capella 92

3. Socalbroncofan 90

4. Dr. D 84

5. Shuke 80

6. Lamb/Bender 78

7. Bogart/FDAS 76

8. Chem X 72

9. Buckfast 71

10. trogg 67

11. Pickles 67

12. cosjobs 66

13. GM 56

14. St Louis Bob 54

2nd to last, huh?

Gentle reminder that you and DD/Hack are the only one's not paid up.
 

 

[Capella]

Hack is paying in weed futures

Joey Gallo could hit a baseball from my front yard to a brand new legal weed store.  The future is now.

God bless Oregon.

Florida seems like it's going to get there one day. The Deep South......not so much. 

 

[shuke]

Both of those projections have me at 5th.  My last four finishes in this league have been 5/6/5/5.  I really need to get out of this rut.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

2nd to last, huh?

Gentle reminder that you and DD/Hack are the only one's not paid up.
 

I'd probably PM Hack about this, seems unreasonable IMHO. 

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Payment sent.

 

[General Malaise]

Payment sent.

Received.  And then there is one...

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Any rules or anything?  Waiver rules. You know, stuff. 

 

[Mr. Pickles]

No rules. Just right. 

 

[Capella]

Any rules or anything?  Waiver rules. You know, stuff. 

.25 cent charge per transaction

 

[St. Louis Bob]

No rules. Just right. 

.25 cent charge per transaction

Thanks GBs

 

[shuke]

.25 cent charge per transaction

I don't believe this is true.

 

[shuke]

Bob, they should be on the league site.  Everyone is available for adds.  Only time someone is on waivers if for 3 days following being dropped by somewhere or appearing for the first time in the Yahoo player pool.

 

[Capella]

I don't believe this is true.

I think we agreed to it. Page 18 and a half if I recall. 

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Please pre-pay all transactions.  TIA.

 

[Capella]

25th round sensation Like Gregorson, or whatever, already paying dividends. 

Drafting closers has to be dumbest thing ever. 

 

[St. Louis Bob]

The same projections actually did a nice job predicting the final standings last year.  Here were my Cake preseason rankings last year with the final standings in parentheses:

1. Buckfast (3rd)

2. Greco/Dr. Detroit (9th)

3. Mr. Pickles (2nd)

4. Cheese (1st)

5. Capella (10th)

6. Shuke (5th)

7. Urbanhack/Eephus (8th)

8. Trezilla (13th)

9. SoCalBroncoFan (3rd)

10. Chemical X (7th)

11. GM (14th)

12. Cosjobs (11th)

13. Bender/Lambskin (6th)

14. Trogg (12th)

The same program's preseason rankings last year correctly predicted 3 of the top 4 finishers and 3 of the bottom 4 finishers.  

Maybe Pickles should be a little worried (although he did pick up another closer today).  

I used a draft software also, mostly just for tracking rosters and positions. I don't necessarily agree with their projections, but it's another piece of projecting to look at.

1. cheese 98

2. Capella 92

3. Socalbroncofan 90

4. Dr. D 84

5. Shuke 80

6. Lamb/Bender 78

7. Bogart/FDAS 76

8. Chem X 72

9. Buckfast 71

10. trogg 67

11. Pickles 67

12. cosjobs 66

13. GM 56

14. St Louis Bob 54

I'm in 4th place. Nice lists. 

 

[Chemical X]

in

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

I should have Chris Owings on my team.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

27.10 Chris Owings 2B/SS D-Backs

28.05 Yimi Garcia RP Dodgers

 

[Capella]

Dude pickles asked like 10 days ago for everybody to make sure their roster is correct. That's on you. 

 

[Mr. Pickles]

27.10 Chris Owings 2B/SS D-Backs

You definitely should have checked my work and let me know long ago.  There are 392 names to add and I'm bound to screw something up.

Regardless, you're now the proud owner of a Chris Owings.

Doctor D and Hack welcome back Didi Gregorius.

 

[Chemical X]

i should have a better team.

 

[Buckfast 1]

The Draft Dominator-esque program that I use for fantasy baseball provides projected roto standings using their projections.  It is obviously somewhat biased in favor of my team since I relied, in part, on their projections in drafting my team (but, on the other hand, my team is pretty nasty).  Here are the draft program's preseason rankings:

1. Buckfast - 102 

2. Bogart/FDAS - 92 

3. Lambskin/Bender - 90

4. Cheese - 84

5. Shuke - 78

6. Cosjobs - 78

7. Urbanhack/Dr. Detroit - 78

8. SoCalBroncoFan - 75

9. Capella - 72

10. Chemical X - 71

11. GM - 70

12. Trogg - 64

13. Mr. Pickles - 53

14. St. Louis Bob - 43

It looks like my projections nailed it.  My team has already settled into first place while leading the league in OBP thanks to Trumbo's league-leading 4 singles (with a stolen base for good measure).  Just as I planned.  

 

[Capella]

I love that it took slowcal 8 full days to realize his roster wasn't correct. 

 

[Dan Lambskin]

@John BenderHave you checked out rooster?

 

[John Bender]

@John BenderHave you checked out rooster?

Ain't nobody got time for that.

 

[Chemical X]

my rooster blows.......already used this line but...................I am settling into last like grandpa into his recliner.

there is an ### indentation for my team right in the middle.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I love that it took slowcal 8 full days to realize his roster wasn't correct. 

I love that I'm not surprised by it 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Doctor D and Hack welcome back Didi Gregorius.

That worked out well. Thanks SoCal! 

 

[Dan Lambskin]

@Mr. Picklesthanks for liking Thor so much...nabbed him 2 other leagues

 

[Capella]

As I was saying, Souza is a real stud 

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

As I was saying, Souza is a real stud 

He's no Trevor Story...

 

[urbanhack]

Received.  And then there is one...

I assume this is me.   I'll get to it in the next 24 hours.   

 

[Peyton Marino]

As I was saying, Souza is a real stud 

my hero

 

[Buckfast 1]

He's no Trevor Story...

My backup shortstops (Story and Segura) have combined for more HRs than the entire lineup of nearly every other team in the league.  

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I assume this is me.   I'll get to it in the next 24 hours.   

What if your dope was on fire?!!

 

[urbanhack]

What if your dope was on fire?!!

I'm busy making plans to go out and get my dope!

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I'm busy making plans to go out and get my dope!

Atta boy

 

[General Malaise]

Dr. Detroit paid me $50.  Hack paid me $100.  This team harmony is awesome.

I'll refund Hack $50 now.

 

[urbanhack]

I'll refund Hack $50 now.

He's been great at texting me noods.

 

[Capella]

Keep the 50 IMO 

 

[urbanhack]

Keep the 50 IMO 

i'll get it cash when I get to town.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Do you get paid in weed?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

@John Bender This team sucks

 

[John Bender]
