I know on the auction league homepage or whatever it says the budget is $100, but all the mock drafts are $260. Is that $100 just a default thing for now or is that what its gonna be set at?

The $100 is your waiver budget.
Normally the waiver priority is whoever is first in line. In an auction league like this - you bid using your $100 for waiver wire players. So say for example a hot new player is called up and appears on waivers - to get him you have to bid for him. Whoever bids the most gets him. I don't know but I assume it is a blind auction (that is to say no one knows what other people have bid) so obviously you could bid $20 for a player and no one else could have bid for him and you could have got him for $1 so you have to manage your bids and not spunk your cash. But as I say, I am not entirely sure, it might be that we can see what other people have bid and can then try to out bid them. The $100 waiver budget can be changed by the commish. So I can always change the budget if people feel $100 is too little. Last edited by Moonax; 02-16-2010 at 07:00 PM. |

Ah, I see. Thats for after the draft. For some reason thought that was the initial amount to use for the draft itself.

I believe we should keep the $$ set at what Yahoo sets it. I did a mock draft (spent too much on some scrubs) but it is a fair amount.
Lookin forward to this auction draft with you bums |

I'm in the auction league. Sounds like a fun experiment. But who the fuck is Ozzie & the Straw? That was my team last year, you bastard.

Interesting choice with FPCT as a category. I like it. Kinda levels the playing field a bit. Also drives the value of OF and 1B with IF eligibility way up.

All Cubs fans know defense is worthless. They've had 8 guys playing defense every game for 100 years and it hasn't won them a thing

If you drop a player in the auction league, do you get back the $$ you purchased him for? What about trades - does $$ exchange hands?

Life would be very boring if every league used the same settings, the same scoring categories and had the same teams every single year. This league is about trying different things - different set ups, different drafts, roto and different scoring, and giving new players a chance to play.
I am quite happy to listen to thoughts and opinions on different scoring cats. On the subject of scoring cats - it has always struck me as odd that power pitchers are considered to be more valuable than finesse pitchers primarily because of the 'K' scoring cat - would people object if I added ground ball/fly ball outs - as a scoring cat? My argument is twofold - firstly - 27 outs are 27 outs - why should we reward one method over other methods? secondly - it gives the manager a bit more to think about in terms of managing his pitchers when drafting rather than just lining up 10 power pitchers and then drafting them. Hero - in answer to your question - I don't think so. I think the draft money is separate from the waiver money. If you spunk $60 on a guy who blows out his arm on opening day then that money is lost. I don't think cash can be involved in trades - but it might. One final thing - the number of games per position is limited to 162. So you have to be careful if you 'stream' say your 1B guys in the first few months because you could find yourself entering Sept with only 10 games left. |

If you have 2 1B but always use one as a UTIL. does his stats go as a 1B or as the UTIL spot?

lol doing another Mock, Pujols as the first guy nominated as usual...then one guy tried to type in 23 and accidentally typed in 230. So he lost all but $30 out of his budget on one guy and immediately left the draft upon realizing his team was fucked.

Hero - I think that the games is by slot not by player - so you have 162 1B games which can be filled by any number of players, and you have 162 Utl games which can be filled with any number of players.
I'd like to add maybe 1 or 2 more hitting cats - any suggestions or preferences? I'd like to avoid anything that makes any one type of hitter more valuable than another ie slugging but I am open to ideas. |

Damn, I really wish that mock I did earlier was a real league.
Because that guy fucked up badly with Pujols, it essentially became a 9-person draft.Pitching staff had King Felix, Verlander, Peavy, Cain, and Webb as starters. Bailey, Jenks, Capps, Soriano as closers. Wright, Reyes, Miggy Cabrera, Morneau, Span, Adam Jones, Justin Upton, Pence, Polanco, and Miguel Montero as my starting lineup, with Beltran also stashed on the DL. |

total bases is a good catergory. While the sluggers get a lot of mileage out of it, the line drive hitters can really excel at it too.

Yeah I like TB too. I took first in a league that counted TB but did not count H, 2B, 3B, or HR, so it basically favored hitters that got on base and scored runs in any way possible.
Does Yahoo let you choose more sophisticated sabermetrics for categories like GPA or FIP? |

If you're going to do TB then just do Slugging or OPS so you have the % instead of the aggregate. Always best to reward quality over quantity IMO.

Did you know that if a pitcher pitched the minimum requirements for a quality start (6 IP, 3 ER) every game, he would have an ERA of 4.50?

tried amock last night but after a few rounds some dude bet his max on a scrub and logged out. Totally ruined the whole thing. After that 2-4 more people were pissed and logged out. What a joker that guy was. These drafts take along time and for him todo that.

So the choice is between OPS, Slugging, and total bases as a hitting cat, and outs or strikeouts for pitching. Any preferences?

total bases and strikeouts for me, as it would make it simpler.
Also, $52 on your first pick is something that was very stupid to do. |

OPS and QS added, TB and IP taken out. 7 hitting and 7 pitching cats. The percentage cats seem better especially in a roto league where everything is worked out over the course of a season.

The AI on the draft is seriously out of whack. While much of the bidding between human players tends to be by $5 increases at the most, the AI will make huge bids.
ie I nominate player X, someone else bids $5, the AI will then bid $45. So the AI might land you Pujols but it might also pay $40 for Christian Guzman. |
