    OK, everyone is signed in and we're all set for tomorrow morning at 9am. I suppose it would be easier if we just drafted entirely in the draft room there, and maybe just posted a round by round summary here for others to follow along.

      I noticed in the position settings that we have C,1,2,3,S, 4 OFs, 2 UTs, and 2 corner infielders. No middle infielders. Is there a special reason we load up on corners?

        I'd vote for the traditional roto positional settings if we have an option, C C 1 2 3 S Mi Ci OFx5, UT, Px9

          I dont care what draft spot I have.
          Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.

            I would rather 1 C 2 UTs.

                3rd...two catchers is not the norm anymore...it's an exception. 2 UT's is much more standard these days.

                  I'm interested to see stats on that. I've heard several times that the new fad is the norm, but normally when we look at the actual data the traditional roto setup normally stays consistent as the majority. I know we saw this a couple years ago by looking at cbs data through their API. Is there any data that you are referring to here or anecdotal?

                    I agree w/Ken. On a geek forum such as our beloved RJ, it may seem like the new norm. I think a traditional format would likely serve more people’s needs. But hey, I was all for replicating last year’s league as well. I’m the “if it ain’t broke....” type
                    One league, 28 years, 9 championships. AL 4X4

                    Current Lineup:

                    Ohoppe 2 Rutschman 22 JRamirez 40 Dezenzo 5 Lewis 6 Semien 26 Torres 20 Hamilton 10 Tucker 42 Cowser 1 Meadows 5 Holliday 17 Andujar 10 Robert 28 P Lopez 8 G Rodriguez 5 Ragans 5 Holmes 10 JDuran 10 McArthur 1 Miller 6 Crochet 10 Crawford 1

                      That's fixed. 1 CI and 1 MI.

                      Also, I'm going to give commish access to Ken & JC.

                        Mostly anecdotal, I'm in 4 competitive leagues, an 18 team mixed, an NL only, an AL only, and a points dynasty league. At this point, only the NL only still has 2 catchers...an that may change this year.

                          Makes sense, I'm in 5 competitive, 1 of them has always been 1C, the other 4 are 2C formats. Discussion on 1 of them changing for 2020.

                            PONY has 2 catchers, and NFBC has 2 catchers. It seems to me that NFBC or NFBC-like is becoming "a" standard, if not the standard.

                              And we're live. In the draft room, it looks like we're only drafting 9 hitters. Is that accurate?

                                No.

                                Since this is "best ball", the site will count the best:
                                C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, MI, CI, 4xOF, 2xUT, 9xP

                                But you're limited to having on your team:
                                5xC, 5x1B, 5x2B, 5xSS, 5x3B, 10xOF, 15xP

                                We will be drafting 35 rounds.
