Please double-check your rosters.

Two owners have less than 50 players. Cosjobs has 48 ... his 50 draftees minus David Ortiz (retired) and Takayuki Kishi (pitching in the Japanese league). And SoCal only drafted 47 players, so far as I can tell.

 

[Doug B]

Once you've confirmed that your roster is straight in Fantrax, set your Actives, Reserves, and IR players (use dropdown boxes to the right of player names). By default, after the players are imported, all players are Reserves.

#### yea doug! hell of a job.

thanks thanks thanks

 

[Doug B]

Heh ... I drafted Yangervis Solarte as my starting 3B and Ryan Schimpf as my starting 2B, where they mostly played last year. Both did have eligibility at other IF positions in 2016.

Well, now Solarte is going into the season as the Padres' starting 2B, and Schimpf has been named the starting 3B. Guess it'll work.

Thanks @Doug B

Oso, I hope that SD pitcher "Walker Woodruff" from the Googlesheet is the same guy as SD pitcher "Andrew Woodruff". I gave you Andrew.

I believe Walker Woodruff is another Rex Tillerson alias

yes, that is correct, although now that sounds like a guy i made up. i'm sure i had a good reason at the time to draft him.

 

[Doug B]

Wow, no roster eff-ups reported ... pretty proud of myself

First off, thank you for taking the time to enter all of these, well done.  But now that you mentioned it I have the wrong Josh Fields on my team.  I have the journeyman minor league third-baseman and should have the journeyman minor league relief pitcher (Dodgers).  I doubt either of them gets much major league time so not a big issue.

Hmmm ... can't see a way to make the fix in FanTrax. Do we have waivers and FA pickups locked down?

Well, if RP Josh Fields goes off, you will obviously have him in WIS.
 

EDIT: Never mind, got it fixed.
 

 

[Doug B]

Side note: has Opening Day always been this staggered? Some teams started off on Sunday the 2nd ... and some other teams aren't starting until Wednesday the 5th.

Didn't all MLB used to start on the same day, and wasn't it usually the first Monday in April? I guess that was an old tradition that went goodbye.

 

[Doug B]

OK, one more thing.

For any owners that hadn't yet adjusted their rosters: all of your players that are ( a ) not in the minors or ( b ) not on the disabled list but ( c ) are on 25-man MLB rosters right now ... all of those players are now designated as Active and are scoring FanTrax league points for your team.

Free agents, suspended players, and those otherwise inactive are shown as Reserves.

EDIT:

This is just the initial starting conditions for your teams. Your teams will not "auto-manage" themselves. You still have to check FanTrax to see when your minor leaguers get called up and can be added to your Active roster. Or when guys come off of the DL. Things like that.

 

[Northern Voice]

They made the DICE/FIP category a premium feature eh? jerks.

 

[Bogart]

41.12: Jose Leclerc, P

@cheese

2 innings of no-hit ball. 3 strikeouts. Looked really good.

 

[rodg12]

Yep, had to remove it.

 

[Frostillicus]

I seem to have done something horribly wrong and I only have five starters currently in rotations.

 

[Bogart]

2 innings of no-hit ball. 3 strikeouts. Looked really good.

And now picking up saves.

 

[Bogart]

Well, was going to go Beltre. Instead with go with:

4.20 - Starling Marte - OF - PIT

Going to be the everyday CF.

FML. Marte coming off the bench now.

Might try to go Mets/Rangers on June6th if that works for anyone. How hard to get to stadium from Gaylord Texan without a car? Easy uber or no?

Uber/Lyft are great around here.  I'd be totally down for that!

I will pick up anyone from the Gaylord Texan to go to the game.

I was lucky to get Arenado at 10, and Robbie Grossman is off to a great start. Evan Gattis has been OK and Cam Bedrosian pretty solid.

My other 46 picks are all absolute garbage.

You cannot access this league because it is a Premium league and there is still an outstanding balance owing. You, or anyone in the league can pay for part or all of the amount outstanding. Click here to get to the page where payment can be made. Alternatively, the Commissioner can remove the premium features being used via League Setup and then downgrade the league to a Standard league, which is free.

I just paid the league fee

For real?  I had removed FIP to make it a standard league.

Not a big deal, I know a lot of work goes into manually setting these up.

Cool.  Thanks man!  I added in FIP, DICE, IP/G and OPS against for pitchers.  WOBA and RC27 for hitters.

Thanks, Arsenal!

Invite sent.  Looks like it already transferred ownership to your Fantrax account.

ETA:  Fantrax is purely for tracking our guys progress during the season.  Sometimes we do divisions based on standings there as well.

So who I start and sit doesn't matter for the SIM season?

 

[cosjobs]

I meant to trade Amir G last week. Any one want to offer what he was worth prior to his last start?

 

[cheese]

Sure what are you looking for

 

[Spartans Rule]

I meant to trade Amir G last week. Any one want to offer what he was worth prior to his last start?

Even with that start, he'd still be my ace and it wouldn't be close.

it does, fantrax is our season.  you know how this works.
