[General Malaise]

Mystery Pick

 

[Capella]

If my team stinks then I have no one to blame but myself because I mostly got everything I wanted, never got sniped within two draft spots.

Best 2 picks: 7.6 Carlos Carrasco and 9.6 Aledmys Diaz.  Carrasco has #1 upside if he's healthy, Diaz is a sleeper who has no reason to regress

Worst pick: 16.09 Yuli Gurriel, I'm all in on this guy with little faith  

Best sleeper: Joey Gallo and his 30+ homers

Wish I would have: Taken a starter in the 11th instead of taking Jarrod Dyson.  Cole Hamels and Garret Cole went before I took Matz in the 12th, preferred both of those guys to Matz.

Chance of winning Cake:  8 to 1, still better than Capella and that really is the only thing that counts. 

Best pick: I feel like I got multiple starting pitchers way past ADP. I like my SP primarily because of that. A few of these guys (Porcello, Fulmer) aren't great but will be reliable and should (maybe) rack up some wins. 

Worst pick: easily Kiermaier. I was rushed with something at the moment and phoned that one in, waaaay ahead of his ADP. I do like his 20/20 potential though, he's a better hitter than a few years ago. 

Best sleeper: Steve Pearce. 

From what I read about Solarte he seems ok. I don't follow enough to have my favorite sleepers. 

Wish I would not have: paid the monthly fee for baseball prospectus. It kind of sucked and then on day 3 they rolled the fantasy tool I was using into their annual subscription  ####ing nerds 

Chance of winning cake: terrible, because now is the most I will pay attention all year. Of course I'll beat cos though and think I have a shot at Dr. D.

They have to pick by noon tomorrow or it's just an empty roster spot till the league opens.

@RnR who picked a closer in the third round of Pie, was making light of our draft today.  I believe the thread title should reflect his hubris.

Good video.  Would have been funny had you had Shuke post one for you, but you probably didn't think of that.

Thank you for your participation. Real draft starts Monday.

They've had the same unfunny thread title for like 3 years now. I don't even know what it means. 

 

[Mr. Pickles]

It refers to HellToupee's whining about his obviously phony busy life.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I'm going to use the continuous waiver process and have them processed daily.  I assume that's what we want.

Season started.  All players are assigned to teams.  Go to Mar. 13 to see your players and move them into roster positions.

I don't think babbling about trump on the message board makes one busy.

TRE> Greg Allen isn't in the Yahoo database, so I assigned you Gregor Blanco as a placeholder.  You are entitled to him once he becomes available, but you have to keep your boy Gregor on your roster until then.

Trying to envision a scenario where I intentionally check into a fantasy baseball draft that I'm not a part of and honestly, I can't conjure one up.  

 

[Capella]

I miss you guys

Also, Blanco cannot be used to accumulate stats.

I believe this might be the first time anybody has ever said this about Gregor Blanco.

Curiosity? Seeing where your guys went in other drafts, especially if you have more drafts.

Fake news. I was making fun of you, specifically.

Poorly, as per usual. 

 

[RnR]

Poorly, as per usual. 

ADP on Chapman and Jansen in 15-teamers is 44 and 45. They went 43rd and 47th in Pie.

Weird thing to be obsessed about.

Their ADPs are in the 70s knob.  They went 68 and 78 in LABR for reference. 

And I'm not obsessed about it, I just think you're dumb is all.

That's data from NFBC (where they use the same rosters we use, minus 2 catchers, in a 15-team format). If you want to find some random ESPN ADP based primarily on where guys are slotted in predraft rankings and auto-drafts from free leagues, that's on you.

#nerdlife

 

[Doctor Detroit]

NFBC?  That's a small sample size don't you think? 

 

[Mr. Pickles]

In other news, waiver priority initially set to reverse draft order. 

 

[RnR]

NFBC?  That's a small sample size don't you think? 

That is 160 leagues, I think. You have a larger sample size of a Pie/Cake format? Because I'd be glad to take a look.

Larger point at hand: If I wanted Jansen/Chapman, I had to take one of them around the 3/4 turn. You can think I'm dumb for doing it, but even you have to admit it's pretty much impossible one is there when I pick at #73 (5.13). They were going off the board in Cake by then, which is a joke, by the way. Literally 0 of those 160 NFBC leagues would've had Jansen on the board past #64, even in the league where he fell the most.

In summation: If your issue is with me wanting Jansen, so be it. I'm dumb. If your issue is with me taking him where I took him, you're the dumb one.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Chapman went 82nd in TOUT wars, Jansen went 88th.  I think it's cute that you think NFBC has experts, they are really just a bunch of guys who would normally play on ESPN but want to throw $1000 down the drain instead.

Should be easy money for you then, bro.

I think it's cute you think TOUT wars is worth monitoring.

I gave you LABR results as well.  Good luck with another 7th place season in PIe!

Good stuff, guys.  Keep it coming.

According to these results, Chapman went 67th and Jansen went 76th. Am I reading that wrong? Also, Captain Hook is in that league. Are we really setting our fantasy gold standard by anything THAT guy does?

ETA: Looks like your boy Dyson went in Round 17 here.
