It really makes me respect you guys, seeing as how you seem to know what you're doing, instead of these morons I drafted with.

You counted wrong. One of the picks was out of order. I dunno if I was supposed to pick him again or not. Doesn't matter to me honestly.

Look at spots 14-17. I could easily get 28-30 wins, 70 saves, and 500 k's. No one in our league has a 14-17 that good, and that's a compliment.

You took Felix too early, and Troy never lasts a full season. Palpelbon is damn near done and you shouldn't take a closer before round 9-10 or so.

And yes I know I took Kinsler in the second in our draft....but I'm a homer.

2009: 38 saves, 10 k's/9, and a 1.85 ERA. His walks were a little high, but now he's got a better defense behind him.

---

he is 29. His walks in the second half sky rocketed and hes losing velocity. and for someone that depends on his fastball like 80+ percent, that doesn't hold well for him.

Besides that I really don't like taking closers that early. Like you can get 30+ save closers in rounds 11-13. You're better off getting an Ace or a bat in that position.

Pedro Alvarez.....didn't think he would be on the player list since

A. He's never played a single game above Double-A.
B. He's probably not going to start the year on Pittsburgh's opening day roster. Probably a mid-may/june call up.

Ok...well I doubt you need the rules lesson otehrs might.

IF YOU DRAFTED A GUY NOT ON THE PLAYER LIST LISTEN UP!!!!!!!!

You wil get the worst overall player on yahoo rankings list, that person will count as the person you drafted. You cannot play that player, in turn nobody can pick up your guy as long as you have him on your roster.

When the original guy becomes available on yahoo's player list you MUST drop the X player and pick your guy up.

How come you can't play that player?

I always thought that we could and I have in the past...

I think it has to do with the fact that you have exclusive rights to said player. So if you drafted Jason Heyward, and he were in the database, he would be chilling on your bench or you'd have to drop him. If he's playing, he's in the Yahoo! database already. So the placeholder shouldn't be played because you'd be getting extra stats/player.

As you should, because if your prospect is in the system, and on your roster, and not playing you get nothing anyway.

Basically the deal is like, your placeholder represents that player. If your player was in the system, but not playing in MLB games, he would be taking up space. Your placeholder should represent the same. Once your player is in the system, you can immediately add him, and drop the placeholder.

If you were allowed to play the placeholder, you'd essentially be getting stats from an extra player. You'd have a player not in the system who's not playing AND your placeholder essentially on your team.
