[Eephus]

I'm ready to make my first waiver claim

You have #1 priority

 

[FDASv2.0]

WHERE ARE THE ROOSTERS

 

[jamny]

Damn...forgot to take Jesus Made with my last pick.

 

[RnR]

Rosters are entered and waiver order is set to reverse draft order. Check your roosters for spelling errors.

 

[HellToupee]

I’m ready to cut 3 players

 

[rodg12]

As usual, the mock draft went swimmingly.

Real draft start in the morning?

 

[rodg12]

Thanks for herding cats and spelling MOST of the names correctly.

[Chemical X]

and now we play the waiting (for death) game.

 

[jamny]

I'm usually pretty confident in my team after the draft but not so much this time. I normally draft mostly proven solid players but I wound up with a bunch of high upside potential guys without a track record. Hopefully it pays off but should be fun to watch them.

 

[Gally]

Here is team Gally's projected counting stats. I averaged the projections from Yahoo and ESPN and here were the numbers:

Runs: 1114 (would have been 5th place last year)
HR: 337.5 (5th)
RBI: 1073 (3rd)
SB: 175 (9th)

W: 83 (12th)
K: 1480 (5th)
Sv+H: 71 (15th)

5th place numbers for all categories were:

Runs: 1081
HR: 300
RBI: 1034
SB; 203

W: 90
K: 1452
SV+H: 147

Are those stats for your entire roster, or did you only include projected starters?

 

[Eephus]

Does Yahoo still give out draft grades?

Entire roster. I need all the help I can get

 

[shady inc]

My software (aka excel) predicts the following top 3:

1. @rodg12
2. @Eephus
3. @FDASv2.0

In season moves will play a big part, but those 3 seem to have an early edge.

Might as well list the entire predicted standings so we have something to throw in your face at the end if the year

ETA: where is your software pulling its projections from?

Projections are a proprietary blend of some of the publicly available projection systems. I copy them from the web, throw in some basic Excel formulas, add in an xlookup or 2 and my cheat sheet is complete.

You should've trashed these the minute it ranked FDAS in the top half

4. RnR
5. Eephus
6. GreedyGoat
7. CharlieB
8. Expos
8. FDAS

11. Shady
12. Rodg12
13. Spartans Rule
14. HellToupee
15. Gally

Sorry @Gally
And yes, that is a 3 way tie for 8th place.

On the bright side, my projections are almost certainly wrong. For one thing, they total points for the entire roster and ignores the fact that there are 5 bench players contributing to the totals.
And as Shady Incorporated said, injuries, mid-season moves, trades, etc. will have a big impact. I almost certainly won't finish 2nd. I'm just hoping to improve on last year's finish (8th).

Good luck fellas

Interesting. Even on my own projection, I'm in 7th.

I've ALWAYS said shady is smarter than kupcho.

It's simple science.

Not much waiver wire activity for the first night. shady inc is already behind last year's pace.

I want to pick some guys up but they are the same crappy guys I was looking at for the draft.

You should do it, but only if you name your team Brownian Motion

if the final standings were determined by number of transactions, i would have finished

2018: 1st
2019: 1st
2020: 1st
2021: 1st
2022: 1st
2023: 2nd (@jamny got me by 4)
2024: 2nd (@expos123 blew me away - 255 transactions to my 210)

I'm back to claim my crown this year.

@RnR Did the league rules change from daily rolling waivers to FCFS because Yahoo looks like it's currently set for the latter?

(Sound of everyone running to waivers before it gets changed)

 

[jamny]

@RnR Did the league rules change from daily rolling waivers to FCFS because Yahoo looks like it's currently set for the latter?

We changed it last year to FCFS, except for dropped players that start on waivers

So waivers only come into play on players that are dropped?

 

[jamny]

2. FREE AGENCY VOTE TALLY

Option A (Status quo: Next day rolling waivers): Eephus, CharlieB, Rated R (3)
Option B (First come, first serve open transactions): Chem X, Rodg, HT, Sparty, Jamny, Expos, Kupcho (7)

Saturday morning update ...

- We still need votes from 5 of you on Vote #3
- Bones have started to roll

Yeah, if not taken on waivers after however many days (3?), they fall into FCFS.

Tardy response after some travel this week, but Jamny nailed it with the explanation: We had a vote before the 2024 season that killed the old waiver rule
