#1 pick

 

I am at #2 in the first round, but have the first pick since a rookie was kept in the slot before me.
I will consider trading down.
I'm looking for some combination a lower 1st rounder, other pick(s), an SP upgrade, bullpen help, SS.?
I'll consider all options.

I am sending this same email out to most of my leagues. This year, Strat Draft has sucked away some of my love of this game. One thing for sure, I will never run a league on SD again after this. As you know, their conversion program which converts one year to the next, was a complete disaster. I have spent the better part of two weeks in front of a computer trying to fix the errors.?
?
What makes it worse, is that despite sending MANY emails to the managers in my leagues asking that they double-check their rosters, many did not. This resulted in many managers missing the deadline for roster cutdowns, and endless emails AFTER the date asking for fixes. For those who submitted cuts on time AND properly on SD, there will be some kind of a reward for doing so (TBD). Thank you to those of you who did submit on time.
?
Next year, I'll have to re-evaluate if I am trying to run too many leagues, if I am just running them on the wrong site, or if I need to weed out managers who do not follow instructions and do not meet deadlines.? Ironically, the one league I run exclusively on Google Sheets is running the best of any of them.
?
Effective immediately, this is what is going to happen with my leagues on SD. - NO EXCEPTIONS
?
1. Cuts, rookie selections (if applicable) and IR designations (if applicable) were due no later than 1/31. Today is 2/5. I will no longer accept any more changes. DO NOT SEND ME ANYMORE. If after doing a final check on rosters, I find you are still over the limit, I will cut players for you.
?
2. Any players missing from your rosters (I hope there aren't any) are now part of the draft. This may be a tough egg to swallow, but everyone has had several weeks to review this, and I have sent numerous reminders to do so, and at this point, I am DONE with changes. If you're missing players, it's your own fault for being negligent. DO NOT SEND ME ANYMORE EMAILS ABOUT PLAYERS MISSING FROM YOUR ROSTERS. It is time to move forward.
?
3. I will be updating GS rosters to reflect SD rosters
?
4. If you find players that SHOULD be available in the draft and are not showing, notify me PRIOR to the start of the draft. These emails I do want to see. Once the drafts open untimed, the draft pool is locked.
?
Sorry, this is so harsh, but this year in Strat has truly sucked so far (THANK YOU STRAT DRAFT). I still think getting off of Flory was the right move at this point based on Nick's last email, but we can re-evaluate again after this season.?

Re: Roster Cutdown - 1/31

 

Everyone has made their cuts except for Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. All teams are free to trade except those teams. The trade of Jake Cronenworth from CLA to SFN was deleted because it was made after the cut deadline and Cleveland was already over their limit.
?
I have updated the rosters on GS. Cuts for these teams will be made later this morning.


Re: Roster Cutdown - 1/31

Then I guess I¡¯ll bring back Alek Manoah

I have been dealing with the Flu-A bug for the last few days. In the morning, I will be checking everyone's rosters. Since the deadline was 1/31 and tomorrow is 2/4, make sure you have no more than 25 players on your roster. This can be up to 27 if you have placed 2 players on the IR.?

Anyone over these limits tomorrow morning when I check them, will have their cuts made by me.


Re: Roster Cutdown - 1/31

 

If you sacrificed your first-round pick to keep a rookie, you may keep an additional player, as that player theoretically is part of your draft.?

OK I got in to Cut my one guy.
