Board 8 > Board 8 Fantasy Baseball League (voltch league) - We need to set up a draft time

(+) Yeah! (+)

The season starts on Sunday, April 2nd, so we've got to draft before then. Nick's auction league draft is scheduled for Sunday, March 26th, so that time period is out. We need to figure out what time works or doesn't work for people so we can schedule the draft.

People were automatically renewed in the league, so if you're on this list and you don't want to participate, let us know and we can find a replacement.

Im in
---

I work Mon to Fri until 5 during weekdays, generally free all weekends but this weekend would need to be like after 7
---

24th night until 1st April night I am available
---

I work until 8 pm est all weekdays except friday (regular 9-6), and 9am-4pm on saturday. anytime outside of those times is good
---

As long as it's not super late at night I'm fine.
---

As long as it's 4pm eastern or later, then I am available.
---

The only person this should be really late for is me though.

Meanwhile, everyone happy with our usual set of rules that favour relievers?
---

Saturday the 25th in the evening would be perfect for me.

I have a draft for a project the evening of the 24th, afternoon of the 25th, afternoon of the 26th, and as you mentioned, auction draft evening of the 26th.

I could free up time to be available on the 23rd or 27th, otherwise I will likely have to be autodrafted.
---

not April 1st as I am in Montreal for Jays/Pirates
---

Honestly I could do it this Friday or Saturday but if not I'm out until the week after
---

So, I'm taking a look at the pre-draft rankings, and it is varying wildly from the pre-season rankings that you can find by searching for players. A lot of these pre-draft rankings are just dumb, and I don't understand what's going on, I'm so confused. I don't think it's reflecting league settings, at least I don't recall it ever doing that. I thought it always pretty much (or completely) matched the pre-season rankings.
---

I remember Donte Moncrief being rated like 40th in football, which made me laugh a lot
---

I may not know more certainly but in general nights should be fine.
---

Basing on the fact of someone mentioning 4PM Eastern, I could do that but I can't continue if it ends up running past 7PM Eastern. The half hour after that and then dinner shortly after would get me offline. 9PM Eastern is one of my better times, but I wouldn't be able to make this Friday.

Bumps
---

I think we're looking at Saturday, March 25th, at 9 PM ET. Hope that works for everyone.
---

Should work
---

Awesome, sounds great!
---

bump
---

sounds good
---

I should write this down
---

I've determined that the Pre-Draft Rankings are reflecting the projected stat totals for the season rather than the Pre-Season Rankings. I don't like it, and I think it's going to make for a mess of a draft. It will be interesting, anyway.
---

That days good for me
---

bump
---

Bump?
---

Draft is tomorrow!
---

tonight
---

Two hours
---

I am so unprepared for this
---

DRAFT ROOM IS OPEN, EVERYBODY GET IN

Draft will start promptly at the top of the hour.
---

Emerald is an awesome guy and I didn't mean any of those nasty things I said about him last night.
---

No, you were justified in your original assessment of Mr. Emerald Egg
---

Auction draft for Nick's league is in four hours, for those participating in that.
---

Excited to prove you don't need to draft any starting pitchers to win in Fantasy Baseball!


---

Ngamer is hardcore by not drafting any starting pitchers. I could understand someone not drafting relievers, but I don't think it's a good idea to not draft starting pitchers.
---

bump?
---

Dp has already done the 0 starting pitcher strategy.

Almost every year since, someone overloads on relievers.
