RJ Mock One Discussion Thread

[revo]

How many steals does one realistically need to finish mid-pack in a 17-team league? I am thinking the number is pretty low, not that much more than what B.Ham or Dee would get by themselves. Last season 105 steals would have gotten you 6 points out of 15 in PONY, but that seems like more steals are needed than I expected.

Mid pack in my 16-team redraft last year was 108.

I drafted Dyson to fill my utility slot and fantrax put him on my reserves. Is the league set up so anybody can be at ut?

I have never played in an OBP league. What is solid team OBP?

Again with the caveat that RJEL has a wider spread than normal because of all the dump trades - .354, .353, .340 (big jump), .339, .339, .338, .338, .338, .337, .333, .332, .331, .329, .328, .326, .325, .324, .321

As I was entering the rosters into Rotolab, I saw some teams who appeared to have big holes this late, yet had drafted players who in prior years would have qualified at those positions that needed to be filled. For instance, Hanley at 1B or Nelson Cruz in the OF. Knowing that I set the eligibility for 20 games last year and that these players did not qualify there, I was wondering what was going on. Only now did I see a small box, on a hidden page in their front office, was checked off for "Also Use Fantrax's Default Position," which unbeknownst to me wrongly gave these players eligibility at these positions.

It only affects a small handful of players, and while it's too late to make any changes now, I do believe this should be corrected before the season begins.

It was well-stated that 20 games is the eligibility requirement, so I don't think anyone should object, even if it was a mistake.

Yeah, I saw the Nellie Cruz one and was a bit perplexed, since he only played a few games in the field last season. Definitely should be changed one the season starts, and those owners should make note to cover themselves.

Agree 100%.

What's the rule for rookies? Is it expected position or where they played in the minors? I'm okay with Pirela losing 2B qualification, I guess I needed to double-check, but if Calhoun doesn't have 2B it's going to be annoying.

From Fantrax:
"If a player does not qualify for any positions based on the above selections, he will qualify at the position(s) played most in the previous MLB season. If he did not play at all last season, then the default position(s) will be used."

Calhoun played 11 games in the majors last year, all in the OF.

Aren't we required to fill our active rosters before we can choose reserves?

Nope. That was discussed earlier.

Alright

I'd be interested in seeing the Rotolab projections for the league, if possible.

I don't think Calhoun has 2B eligibility in any league this year.
