I wonder how quickly Rizzo will be in my MI spot -
I took 3 SP in the first 5 rounds and if they perform as expected, it might have been a solid strategy."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Man Mike, you sniped me twice there...those are 2 great picks at this stage of the draft. Post hype sleeper in Dahl, and a potential 25 HR bat at 2nd in Calhoun. Nice work!"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

How does the "auto draft" feature work?
Fresno Bob shows to be on auto, but its sitting there on his pick and the clock is just counting down...Comment

I had no one left in my queue, so it would have just counted down, then probably given me Brad Peacock.....Originally posted by Ken View Post"You know what's wrong with America?

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.Comment

Very good question, and in the general sense anyone have a good resource on category targets? Seems like that should be widely available with the amount of data that is collected by the providers.Originally posted by joncarlos View PostComment

When I plugged the league into last year's version of rotolab it suggests a goal of 150 stolen bases.Originally posted by Ken View Post

That seems high. 150 would have been 1st place, 2nd place, and 4th place in my three 15 team mixed leagues last year.Originally posted by BigJonEmpire View PostComment

in RJEL (18-team mixed) last year, the top SB totals were 159, 157, 152, 139, 128, 122, 121, etc.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

Good info. Obviously it depends on distribution, the bottom end of that curve is relevant as well.Originally posted by mjl View Post
Looking at startable players Steamer predicts an average of right around 106 SB per teamComment

That's good info. I was just wondering if we were at the point yet where you could ignore steals but cobble together 40-50 and finish 4 or 5 places above the bottom. Maybe not quite there yet.Originally posted by Ken View PostComment

Good point - RJEL is a very dump-y league compared to some others I've been in, and certainly compared to what this league will be, so the extremes are more extreme.Originally posted by Ken View Post
