Weekly Fantasy Baseball League - the Draft

[Berzerker]

Why is a BAPAY refundable?

No rule was posted and DD's a newbie and didn't know about the rule we've used in the past.

[Berzerker]

actually - I think we would have to redo it from my pick because others after me might want matsui

If anyone wants Matsui, they can say so and they'll get him unless someone else with an earlier pick also wants him

[Berzerker]

Hang on, we'll see what Stuie wants to do. He has 2 OF and may want Hideki. If he doesn't, we'll redo the 9th round starting with Stuie

My apologies for the inconvenience

[SlowwHand]

Ok, all. It may not be a posted rule, but it's generally considered to be the lesser evil to leave some alternate picks if you're not going to be around.
A BAPAY tries to take your interests into account.
A BAPAY wouldn't be needed if anyone that might need to leaves their pick with Berz, snoopy, Guy, me, whomever. All a BAPAY does is put hassle on everyone else who wait, then have to try and be thoughtful in making your choice.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Wait a sec.. WTF?!

No redoing rounds! If you want to let him switch out, wait until the 10th round (when the proper order is set) then let him switch out whoever for Matsui at that point if he wants.

Otherwise, you can't just restart the 9th round. You have to go back to his BAPAY and redo it, but now we ALL know what the draftees want. So you can't redo it!


On the other hand, if Stuie and DD want to do a straight trade... nothing can prevent that.

[Ninot]

I'm with Imran!

[Berzerker]

ok, here's my decree, if your pick is unaffected by the Schmidt - Hideki swap, you dont get to repick - unless you want Hideki.

[Fistandantilus]

Neither do I...

Get me Haren if it's still available when it's my turn, otherwise I'll have to think about it.. going to sleep now, I'll be back in 6-7 hours.

If anyone wanted Hideki after he was BAPAYed to DD, say so. The person with the earliest pickgets him.

[Berzerker]

Err... if its a trade, why would it matter who we would have picked?

if its a trade we dont need to worry bout it, but if Stuie doesn't want Hideki he will need to replace Schmidt.

Correction, Stuie gets to replace Schmidt so he can take anyone chosen after his pick. If Stuie takes the player you took, then you will get to replace him.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Stuie gets to replace Schmidt so he can take anyone chosen after his pick. If Stuie takes the player you took, then you will get to replace him.

This is just too messed up. Why does Stuie get picked on? Because DD wanted Schmidt? So? What if DD saw the draft board and said, oh Schmidt is still on the board? I'll take him!

The funny thing is that Matsui was #1 on my list, but I don't want him anymore after the pitcher run .

[Berzerker]

Stuie, if you want someone taken after your pick, feel free to say so. Those picks dont exist yet so all those players are available.

[Guynemer]

Can someone explain to me what the hell just happened?

It's all a mystery to all of us aside from Berz.
