I’d add DL slots only, and only Covid guys can go there. Last year we did as well as we could, but the good teams were negatively effected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CBS allows IL slots but I don't see any way to stipulate COVID only eligibility for it. We have until just before opening day to decide on any IL changes. Let's see what happens with the virus during spring training. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although it’s a little misleading because I have 6 guys still on prospect lists but also on 40-man rosters, plus Pedro Leon would have an M if he was in the CBS system.

Eephus 25,869 Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 CBS isn't consistent with their preseason minors designations. Simeon Woods-Richardson has never pitched above A ball and isn't on Toronto's 40-man but CBS doesn't give him the green M. Maybe it has to do with the Blue Jays playing in Dunedin this year because Woods-Richardson last pitched there in 2019. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He sucks anyway, but for example Matt Thaiss played 3b most of the year in 2019 (43 of his 53 games) and then played 3b only 1 of his whole 8 games of covid ball at 3b in 2020 so he loses it.

Eephus 25,869 Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 (edited) CBS position eligibility is based on 10 game appearances in 2020 down from 20 games in normal years. This is configurable so we can reduce if there's a consensus to do so. 5 game appearances in 2021 are required to gain eligibility in season.

Decided to go with the "bird in the hand" philosophy when it comes to parting with young pitching. To many unknowns with roles and injuries these days. Whitley vs. Amed Rosario was my debate for my 25th protect spot. Would like to have that one back. What makes pitching so tricky is that all the uncertainty just makes the value of an ace that much higher. I remember when redrafts were almost all hitting for the first 5-6 rounds. Now there's so few stud SP you have to get them early. And from a dynasty standpoint, the value of actually turning a prospect into an ace is absurdly high. My bats are in great shape, but I'm not there on pitching and it's too soon and too expensive to go out and buy. My best shot is to gamble on some high-upside arms even if it's a dangerous game.

rodg12 2,437 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 As the Ohtani owner, anyone know how CBS would handle what happened yesterday in a regular season game? 2/2 with a BB. 4 IP with 5 Ks. I suppose it counts whichever place you have him started. U or P? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eephus 25,869 Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 I don't think it's any different from Ohtani batting in a NL ballpark in previous years. He's either a pitcher or hitter on a given day but not both. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
