Mr. bDoDDleS Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Me and @klyon7634 made a swap to even out our MLB and MILB picks. Remember you can only put 10 MILB guys in the MILB roster. NOW you CAN have MORE MILB picks than spots, but you have to manage your roster. You can't exceed 10 MILB rostered players and 25 MLB rostered players. If you drafted an injured guy (Koepech + others) then moving them to IR will allow you to draft 26 MLB guys, since you can already move one to IR. Also, remember guys we've drafted in MLB, can't be put into MILB roster, till they are sent down again IRL, most likely Spring Training. So keep that in mind with drafting. You CAN draft 26 MLB guys if you IR someone, but if you don't have someone you can IR then make a deal to get rid of a MLB pick, or going to have 11 MILB guys make sure you manage that, as again you CAN draft 11 MILB guys but only 10 can be on your MILB roster, so at least 1 will have to be on your MLB roster, which will be okay if you have a MLB ready MILB player (Vlad, Eloy, Senzel?, etc) but keep that in mind.

nagahide13 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I had Ryan McMahon #1 on my BB. Nice pick there. I had Davis #2 and was hoping to get him on the swingaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot more flexibility to play around with, but this is much more impactful. The bench seems crazy small to me as well. I'm surprised that I overlooked it for so long - I'm glad that I got a versatile player like **** Hernandez. What was the rationale for having such a small bench in an otherwise very deep league?

Mr. bDoDDleS Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Old elite had 6 bench spots. We cut one active hitter out (UTIL) and one bench spot from the old league. Now that you don't have to stash prospects in bench spots we felt this is similar to old elite and keeps the FA list somewhat meaning full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly never seen a bench that deep so didn't think twice. Especially with 10 minors and unlimited DL/Suspension spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuy82 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Now that rosters have taken shape, I'm open to trade inquiries and will be sending some. If anyone is inquiring about 3rd overall in MiLB it will be valued as a top 40 player not where the prospects were valued on other people's or websites list.

I've see places that don't consider a league a true dynasty unless 600+ players are drafted...I think we will be at 560, which is close I suppose. There will still be some useful players available on waivers if that's what you were going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bad teams don't have to wait on their top prospects they draft yearly to develop then hit before they get better. Wanted to strike a balance between dynasty and still giving some yearly turnover. As with all rules and settings we'll look at then after the year, but I think the balance is good as of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. bDoDDleS Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Btw just so no confusion on the unlimited IR. IR players will still count as a a MLB keeper even if they are on IR. Also remember, MILB players aren't eligible for IR unless you want then counted as a MLB player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. bDoDDleS Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hoping we can get the last 2 rounds done by end of tomorrow. Then start MILB part either Thursday or early Friday (depending on when MLB gets done). Let's get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. bDoDDleS Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 My next pick will be my last MLB pick. It's been fun! First time having a slow draft like this and where we can trade picks during the draft. I had fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klyon7634 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 God damn you @crab1106. I’ve had Monty on my queue the last 10 rounds and I planned on taking him right here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
