[General Malaise]

ROOOOOSTERS ARE LOADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going to make SO many moves.

 

[BeTheMatch]

When do waivers start? And I'm assuming reverse draft order?

 

[shuke]

Looks like the 14th. And yes it should be reverse drafter order. @Mr. Pickles ?

Yes. I will fix if it’s not correct already.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I’m going to need you to calm down.

This was fun. We should do it again.

This is my favorite part of the preseason where we watch players drop dead.

Also: Don’t draft pitching early.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Waiver order: fixed

Cole’s elbow: ***ked

I might also consider another baseball league of one comes about.

And, I think I might try and get a women's ncaa tourney bracket contest going. Hmu.

Same...seems like such a waste to put all the time and effort into only one team.

i’d love a small money ALT type league that uses different CATS. think a 5x5 with net steals, troubles, wins-losses, some different stuff.

I'm in one league with a bunch of Deadbeats....and @Eephus. I need ACTION!

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I do a H2H Points league that’s about all I can handle (already cut back on another 5x5 last year)
I also do a yahoo H2H that’s AL only but that’s with real life friends and low entry fee so I barely pay attention to it

 

[Mr. Pickles]

14.09 - Bailey Ober, Minnesota Zoilos

@domer

Forgot to mention that I knew Zoilo Versalles. Nice guy.

OK I decided to compare Cake and Pie and it was quite interesting. Here are some of the findings:

Biggest Bargains for Cake Draft (compared to Pie):

• Wilson Contreras: Drafted 257 in Cake compared to 150 in Pie - that's a +107 value and highest on the board
• Jose Cabellero: +103
• Mackenzie Gore +103
• AJ Puk: +98
• Nathan Eovaldi: +89

*Puk and Eovaldi were my picks so maybe i was in the wrong league

Biggest Bargains for Pie Draft (compared to Cake):

• Nolan Schanuel: Drafted 330 in Pie compared to 217 in Cake: That's a +113 value and best of the draft
• Vaughn Grissom: +108
• Michael Busch: +99
• Clayton Kershaw: +96
• Shane Baz & Paul Skenes tied: +94

Some other factoids:

• By and large RP pitchers went way earlier in Cake (Edwin Diaz pick 27 in Cake vs 108 in Pie; Hader 49 vs 111). Catchers also seemed to be a favorite in Cake (Alvarez went 86 picks later in Pie, Salvy Perez 85 picks later, Raleigh 23 picks later).
• Even with less teams Cake had 17 players drafted that weren't drafted in Pie
• There were 49 players drafted in Pie that were not drafted in Cake (although I think I missed a couple players when I went back through the Cake thread as there seemed to be an Abreu issue but i couldn't tell from the thread what really was going on there.
• The earliest drafted Pie player that wasn't drafted in Cake was Joc Pederson at pick 274
• The earliest drafted Cake player that wasn't drafted in Pie was Tyler Stephenson at pick 279

First Round Cake vs Pie:

1. Acuna vs Acuna
2. Witt vs Witt
3. Ohtani vs Betts
4. J-Rodriguez vs Ohtani
5. Carroll vs Soto
6. Betts vs J-Rodriguez
7. Soto vs Carroll
8. Freeman vs Tucker
9. Tucker vs Judge
10. Tatis vs Freeman
11. Olsen vs Strider
12. Judge vs Tatis
13. Turner vs Olsen
14. Alvarez vs Riley
15. Strider (pick 2.01) vs Ramirez

Let me know if there is anything in particular you want to know between the drafts and I will see if I can come up with it. Enjoy!

judge wait

 

[General Malaise]

How many more days until the season starts?

 

[Bogart]

How many more days until the season starts?

Domestically or international?

 

[Gally]

Have you guys every thought about having a percentage of each of the Pie and Cake leeg winnings be set aside and do a pot for a combined league winner? You don't have to do anything different but fold both league totals into one leeg and see how that shakes out.

 

[General Malaise]

Lest you boys ever doubted the prestige and honor that comes with being a 'member' of such an exclusive league like Cake, the Pie guys fogging up the windows watching us tells you all you need to know.

 

[Capella]

How many more days until the season starts?

Every year. Beyond stupid.

BTC will fund this league for years to come.

right about now would be a good time to start the draft.

Save some of those HRs for next month!

You guys will still let me draft Langford, right?

 

[Capella]

Brewers closer is dead till July. At least there are still 3 weeks until opening day.

 

[BeTheMatch]

I feel like some of you guys have an issue with how early we drafted. I'm not sure though. I may be misinterpreting.

 

[Bogart]

I feel like some of you guys have an issue with how early we drafted. I'm not sure though. I may be misinterpreting.

To be fair, we have had years where the draft drug out until almost Opening Day with huge gaps of no picks.

I can’t remember any time when we weren’t done 3 weeks before the draft. Are you speaking about 10 years ago or more?

Last year we got done March 5th lmao

you are right. Was probably pre COVID at least.

Below is a table cross referencing the Pie & Cake leeg drafts. The number in each box represents the number of like players each team drafted. For example, Trogg and Eephus drafted two players the same. Here are some other notes:

• N/A: This means the number of players that team drafted that the other leeg did not draft at all. Trogg drafted 3 players that were not drafted in Pie
• As you can see, Chem X really likes his players. He has 11 shared players between the leegs.
• HellToupee really liked Hack & Pickles teams as he shares 5 players each with those teams
• Kupcho and Frosty have 5 shared players between them to tie for second place for most shared players
• RnR & Rodg12 really don't like Cake as they tied for the most players undrafted by Cake at 6
• FDAS liked some diversity. He only drafted 4 shared players between his two teams. He is no Chem X
• Greedy/Banana and FDAS/GM lead for shared player (4) for drafting out of the same draft slots (you can see that if you go diagonal through the table starting in the upper left). The draft order for Pie is left to right on the top and for Cake is top to bottom on the left.

Let me know if you have any specific questions about shared draft info and I will see if I can mine it from the data.
