Guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 So if Bailey's in AAA, raz has to keep him on his roster, essentially losing a spot anyway?
Styles Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Posted February 26, 2007 So if Bailey's in AAA, raz has to keep him on his roster, essentially losing a spot anyway? Yes.
Vern Gagne Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 I've done that before. Happened more two years ago, but it's worth doing so in a keeper league.
Krankor Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Homer Bailey is in the Yahoo! player pool so he should be on his roster at the start of opening day. Doesn't mean he'll be up on the big league team though. See the red "NA" next to his name? That means he's not actually up yet and would be effectively just holding a roster spot. Like I said, I did this with Delmon Young most of last year. Yes I know. I'm well aware what Not Active means. Yahoo doesn't add every single minor league player too its player pool. When people are talking about drafting a guy that isn't even in the player pool yet, they are talking about claiming the rights to be the first team to add him once he is available to add. A good example is BJ Upton's brother. Or are guys that aren't even in the Yahoo player pool yet completely off limits to draft? If a guy is in the player pool and listed as NA they aren't claiming the rights. They are essentially adding a player that may or may not be on the opening day roster. There is a difference.
Fökai Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Heavy Lumber is proud to add Coco Crisp to our roster... Umm...

I haven't even thought of such issues. Let's put it this way, the top whatever minor leaguers that everyone would want to draft, Yahoo has in the system. So its pretty much a moot point, I can't imagine why someone would want to draft a minor leaguer that's not even on the top prospect radar. Just in case and for precedent's sake, I'll say you can't draft anyone not in the Yahoo system because then it becomes a situation where you're actually drafting someone else to hold a roster spot and then laying claim to another player when he's called up, who knows when that is. Like I said, I doubt we'll be faced with this situation but that's my take on it.
razazteca Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Well the rest of the available pitchers have WHIP at around 1.40 and ERA at 4.00 so I decided to take a risk on the rookie. What happens if he's in AAA until August or so? This is a weekly league and with the number of bench spots there is nothing to worry about.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I will never be able to see his name again without "Greek God of walks" popping up in my head. Thanks, Michael Lewis! I thought Youkilis was a Jew. And he's 1B/3B/OF. He will not be playing 1B for the Fightin' A-Rods.

I thought Youkilis was a Jew. And he's 1B/3B/OF. He will not be playing 1B for the Fightin' A-Rods. He is. Greek is a national origin, Jew is a religion. There were Jews all over European countries (including Russia) until some nasty stuff happened.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Hmm, yes. Wikipedia says he's a Romanian Jew, though. I just want his .400 OBP and 120 runs batting 1st or 2nd in the lineup.
Failed Bridge Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 he'll be batting second. The consensus around Boston is that the order will be Lugo Youkilis Ortiz Manny Drew Lowell Tek Crisp Pedroia
Guest Queen Leelee Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 That's what I've read most places about BOS's lineup. Please keep breaking your thumb and sucking, Coco.

CanadianChris Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I'll finish up the eighth round with: Ryan Freel, 2B/3B/OF, Reds I have a keeper in the ninth round, so Precious Roy is up.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Grar, I had a slight hope Freel would last until round 10.
Styles Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Posted February 27, 2007 I have a keeper in the ninth round, so Precious Roy is up. Actually, so does he. Round 9 order is now up.
Styles Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Posted February 27, 2007 Great pick. At least it better be or the Nats are seriously fucked this year. Like worse than they thought.
Precious Roy Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 I have a keeper in the ninth round, so Precious Roy is up. Actually, so does he. Round 9 order is now up. Actually, no I don't. I picked two players from rd. 10 per the previous owner, that should be my 10th and 11th rders, not my 9th and 10th.
CanadianChris Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 That's what I thought. I had PR marked down as having keepers in 10 and 11 as well.
Precious Roy Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 I'm just waiting for MJ Styles to confirm, then I'll post my pick for this rd. I would have done it last night but I was waiting for the rd. to go up in the other thread.

I picked two players from rd. 10 per the previous owner, that should be my 10th and 11th rders, not my 9th and 10th. You're absolutely right. Chalk it up to an error on the spreadsheet made up by thepinjockey that I was relying on (although its my own fault for not double checking with my own notes.) Ok, well for all intents and purposes, the last 2 picks are unofficial and back on the table, luckily we didn't go any farther. So, make your pick, Roy and then we'll continue, and in the future I will be sure to double check with my notes.

the pinjockey Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 I thought two keepers from the same round kicks forward a round, not back. Unless you don't have a pick in the earlier round, otherwise then it goes back (ex. the Round 1 picks who got bumped to round 2,3,4; can't go earlier than round 1)
