New Fantasy Baseball League

As I understand it, you assign one to round 19 and 1 to round 20.

 

That is correct. If you have two players who would cost you a pick in the same round, one moves up a round and you choose which value to assign to which player. If you do not choose, I'll randomly choose for you.

Take my list as an example. Bibee and McLain were both undrafted. I'm assigning the 19th-round value to Bibee and 20th to McLain. The same would be true if one of them was a 22nd-round pick and the other was undrafted.

 

OK, I just wanted to make sure since one guy was previously drafted and the other guy I picked up as a free agent and I wasn’t sure if that was a different rule than if both guys had been picked up as free agents.

Anyhoo. My tentative list:

Matt Olson, 3rd round
Framber Valdez 5th round
Gunnar Henderson 17th round
Michael Harris (Braves), 18th round
Logan Gilbert, 19th round
Jackson Chourio, 20th round

 

Tentative…

Tucker - 6
Julio Rod - 16
Glasnow - 17
Chisholm - 19
Jung - 18
E Perez - 24
O’Neil Cruz - 13

I know I’m one over.

 

If, for some reason, you don't send another list by the deadline, I would drop Cruz from your keepers to make the list legal. Definitely envious of the top of that list.

Your team is We are Family, right? I kept a list matching teams to SJ.com handles, but I lost it. lol

 

By the way, here is the 2024 draft order based on the final 2023 standings.

1. Fields of Dreams
   
   
2. Done Messed Up A-Aron
   
   
3. We are Family
   
   
4. Bigger Body of Bad Work
   
   
5. Sterling Silver
   
   
6. There’s a deep drive to left…
   
   
7. Cinquantes
   
   
8. Porky Puig
   
   
9. Tet Corporation
   
   
10. Ray of Hope
    
    
11. Houston Trashtros
    
    
12. Tampico Stogies
    

 

Is that off of record or consolation round results?

 

It is based on the standings on the site. I don't overcomplicate it.

 

I think that's based on the consolation round which is not the way I thought we do it. I would have made sure not to win.

 

I am fairly certain we have always just used the final standings from the previous season. I know many owners don't pay attention to those. I have no problem with doing it by record for the teams that didn't make the playoffs. The only playoff teams not listed in order of winning percentage are the top two. I was second in the regular season but won the championship.

I get the argument for doing it by record. Otherwise, you have owners intentionally losing consolation-round games. They have no prize to win other than a worse draft pick.

Does anybody else have an opinion to share on this? If we are going to adjust, we need to do it soon.

 

Personally, I pay no attention to the consolation round if I miss the playoffs.

 

I try to win no matter what it is, but I'm odd that way. I know most either don't pay attention or try to lose on purpose.
