BTTF 2017 : Scoobus wins World Series (2 Viewers)

[scoobus]

Are we still OK with 6 hitters/4 pitchers at AAA? Do we need more pitchers? I think 6/4 is probably reasonable. 

With as small as the AAA list was last time, I thought we said however many you could fit in was fine, but I don't remember for sure.

 

[scoobus]

There is some weirdness around searching for Hispanic names. If you search for "Rodriguez" you might not get results. Search by team instead if you can't find the player.

I'm guessing they imported the player names into the DB with accent marks or something.  

Searching by first name also works.

 

[jfranco77]

I set the AAA to "random" which seems to offer the best coverage. It doesn't give you the really cheap hitters, though. What I've been doing is drafting the cheap hitters on my 25-man and then putting the guys at AAA that will fit.  League # should be done in about 10 min. Just making sure I didn't miss anyone. 

(That doesn't mean AAA is random, just that the player pool we get to pick from is players who would be assigned as random AAA in a league where you didn't draft your own)

Jesus Sucre? I can trade him to you...

 

[scoobus]

AAA looks great, way better than normal.

 

[Kraft...]

Jesus Sucre? I can trade him to you...

he actually has a better $/PA than Schwarbs, not enough PAs though  

 

[Frostillicus]

I give Kraft Ezequiel Carrerra for Zack Wheeler

I give Otis' Ex Girlfriend (socal) Kevan Smith for Jesse Hahn.

I still need a starter.  Have lots of decent catcher and of plate appearances.

How the #### does AAA work again? Rookie here.



like - where do we find the list and how do we draft the appropriate players to our team.

Yes this.

 

[scoobus]

Finish drafting 25 guys and then it'll pop up letting you draft your AAA players.  There's 275 hitters and 500 pitchers eligible, so everybody should be fine fitting everyone on their roster.

 

[Frostillicus]

Do you have to join the league to see AAA?

 

[Frostillicus]

Did we draft stadiums?

 

[scoobus]

Yes.

 

[Frostillicus]

to both?

 

[scoobus]

Yes.

 

[Frostillicus]

You're a saint but also unhelpful.

 

[scoobus]

Yes.

Thanks.

One last hoorah for trades. Looking for upgrade or limited inning starter or decent relief innings.

SS Freddy Galvis 663 PA .255 | .309 | .382 A+/C+

3B Rafael Devers 240 PA .284 | . 338 | .482 D/B

CA Miguel Montero 213 PA .216 | .310 | .346 C/A+/D-

CA Elias Diaz  200 PA .223 | .265 | .314 B-/A+/C+

 

[jfranco77]

Do you have to join the league to see AAA?

Yes. And then you have to draft your first 25. Then AAA appears at the bottom. Search for the player you want (let's call him Jenna Haze). If you can't find them, they're probably not eligible. Search for one of your first 25. When you find him, don't pick him, but write his name down (let's call him Jenna Jameson)

Then go back to your 25-man, replace that guy (Jenna Haze) with the guy that is NOT eligible for AAA (Jenna Jameson). Then go to AAA and pick Jenna Haze.

Sounds really damn complicated when you write it all out.

Your fantasy league sounds more fun to scout than this one.

Ballparks are not updated for 2017. I chose the new Braves park but it is not available. Can I just take Turner Field?

 

[Doug B]

If anyone needs a good-hitting 2B, SS, or 3B in exchange for relief pitching, drop me a line. Might need some 3B PAs back depending on specifics.

Also have OF depth to trade.

Still searching for RPs with the above offense to offer. They don't have to be Kenley Jansen ... guys with WHIPs in the 1.2s and 1.3s will garner interest.

Yeah, that's fine, I have no idea if/when they'll get around to adding Cobb County Taxpayer Exploitation Field anyway.

You confused your Jenna's here.  Not the first guy to do that, I'm sure.

 

[Frostillicus]

I figured it out!

Amazing how adding pron stars to the directions facilitated your success...??

I have garbage SPs I can send you just to fill out a roster. Otherwise, trading for a usable starter is often a tall order.
