by FuquaManuel on Mar 9, 2011 9:03 PM EST in Fantasy Baseball League

Hi all. A few updates.

A. Draft is set for Sunday, March 13, 4:00 PM. Be there, or have your autodraft rankings set.

B. As RTP mentioned in the league messages, the random draft order has been determined. It is as follows:

Draft Order
Pick	Team
1	Jose and the Contrarians
2	BudVugger
3	Leepin Lizardz
4	Philsandthrills
5	Wet Luzinski
6	CoburnsCuddleBuddy
7	RememberThePhitans
8	Cormican
9	Walcott
10	Montreal Rexpos
11	LondonPhillie
12	FuquaManuel
13	The Phrozen
14	Trev223
15	dannijd
16	j reed
17	ThinMountainAir
18	FearTheTurtle
Order is reversed on even-numbered rounds

Congrats to Jose and the Contrarians and my condolences to FearTheTurtle. (Although, in a league this deep, having two picks in a row could be an advantage.)

C. Stat categories have been selected. They are as follows:

Offense- OBP, SLG, HR, RBI, SB-CS

Pitching- QS, FIP, K, BB, SV+HLD-BS (Alas, the "bullpennery" superconcoction wasn't possible.)

D. Roster sizes and position breakdowns are as follows:

Status	Min	Max
Active Players	0	19
Reserve Players	0	6
Injured Players	0	2
Minors Players	0	0
Total Players	0	27
Position	Min	Max	Tot
Active C	0	1
Active 1B	0	1
Active 2B	0	1
Active 3B	0	1
Active SS	0	1
Active MI	0	0
Active CI	0	0
Active OF	0	3
Active U	0	2
Active SP	0	5
Active RP	0	4
Illegal rosters score zero points in standings.

After players become active, the must be removed from the DL or dropped.

E. 900 IP and 3950 ABs are the team minimums.

That's all for now. See youse Sunday!

Fucking Joy. I was last, last year. This year I’m second to last.

So is there voting for trades? That was something that didn’t happen last year.

Actually, don’t blown holds count as blown saves?

Hmm. You are right. Derp.

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.

Helpful link. Did I mention Rob Neyer is awesome?

I thought holds could apply in tie games. It appears that they cannot. That seems sort of beat, but alas. At least the bullpenning bullpennery stat will work the way expected, though. Thanks for the info.

I’m holding onto the hope that having two picks in a row cancels out my last-ness. Of course, my terrible luck will probably both cancel out both, and my top 5 picks will all be suspended for PEDs.

Paul Konerko was picked in about the 19th round last year, for what that’s worth. There’s value to be had, especially this year, with 18 teams. The lower tier of MLB will be ripe for picking and many a team may end up with a Cerberus or two that could make a difference.

I actually find being first to be a bit of a detriment last year. It was awesome to get Pujols, but then by your second pick you’ve watched damn near every other top guy on your list get taken. At 18-19 you should get 2 very high quality players.

I have had the same thing in football (first year doing baseball)- I have won several leagues, but have Never been able to win with a team where I had the first pick (granted it did not help that I took Brady 1 overall in ’08).
