    I'll do the same thing as PSJ...

    Not Looking to Trade
    Joey Votto 3.2
    Andrew McCutcheon 2.8

    Must Trade (at least one of the following, at a minimum)
    Ryan Braun 3.8
    David Wright 2.5
    Troy Tulowitzki 3.3
    Felix Hernandez 19.5

    Honestly, of these four I would most prefer to trade Ryan Braun... not because he might possibly be suspended to start the season (I don't care about that too much, and it might not even happen), but because I am also looking at keeping Andrew McCutcheon and Josh Hamilton, and would prefer not to have 3 OFs as keepers. But really, I would trade any of the above 4 guys provided I get an equivalent player in return.

    Would Also Consider Trading
    Yovanni Gallardo 19.1
    Mike Napoli 3.2
    Brian McCann 2.4
    Josh Hamilton 3.3
    Michael Bourn 2.7
    Drew Storen 8.9
    JJ Putz 10.1
    ...or anyone else on my roster.

    Now know why Fade is trying to collect the fees so urgently, because that arbitrator is going to get paid.

    How exactly do we declare keepers? Thru the board?

    Yep, post them here. I plan to start the draft on March 10th, so you have up until March 9th to post keepers. Also, you can change your mind up until the draft, so there's no disadvantage to posting them early.

    Awesome! Thanks.

    And one more question are you guys getting the player average number's from the Fanstar league site, cause I see ESPN player rater has totally different scoring totals if so.

    The ESPN scoring system must be a bit different from what we use. The pts/game figures on the Fanstar page (MLB>Statistics) are what each player averaged last season under our scoring system. I.e. Ryan Braun averaged 3.9 points per game last year, for example.

    LOL, not like that. I've been emailing fade asking questions as well and he really has responded almost immediately. Glad he's on top of his ****, sorta thing ya know.

    Plus he's looking to trade for my players, no need to ass kiss, if that's the case. ;)

    We have just under 2 weeks before the start of the draft (March 10th) so now is the time to start getting the draft order established.

    Teams will select their own draft position. We do it this way instead of a simple reverse-order standings method because some people may see more value in a lower draft slot, and we want to give poorer teams the best possible advantage. As a refresher (and for the benefit of the newcomers), the picking order for draft spot selection is determined based on the total regular season points scored for each team last year.

    Also, as you know, the yearly pitching maximums for this league are 180 SP games and 140 RP games. For the purpose of determining draft order, there is a penalty system of +20 for each unused SP game and +10 for each unused RP game left over for each team at the end of last year. This is to prevent people from tanking by purposely not starting their pitchers.

    So, the formula for determining draft spot picking order is:
    (Total Regular Season Points) + 20*(Unused SP Games) + 10*(Unused RP Games)

    Based on this formula, here is the schoolyard pick order for draft spot selection (total points with penalties applied is in brackets):

    1. Sucka Free v2.0 (7888)
    2. Jent's Llamas (7918)
    3. Rook (8199)
    4. CometsWin (8418)
    5. The Aliens (8993)
    6. PhiSlammaJamma (9058)
    7. SmegCity Smarmy Gits (9763) -- this score shows how dominant Smeg was last year
    8. Expos Forever* (8957)

    * Last year's champ always gets last choice


    Flash21 -- you get first crack at draft position (#1-8).


    Draft details

    - Starts on March 10th
    - Slow live draft (usually takes about 2 weeks to finish)
    - Pick timer will be initially set at 8 hours, but may be cut back in later rounds depending on overall progression
    - PhiSlammaJamma owns CometsWin's 11th round pick
    - CometsWin owns PhiSlammaJamma's 9th round pick (due to a trade last year)

    Just give me 3 and will get my payment in tonight...sorry, been a little out of pocket recently.

    As for my team everyone is on the tradeblock if anyone interested, I am not going to do that fancy stuff some of you did - for one I don't understand it and for two I am in the mood of trading away the whole team................

    I need to trade one of he guys below. I'm not really opposed to trading any one guy
    rather than another. Looking for quality pitching return. Thanks.
