well dude i dont even know fantasy baseball this is my first year.. i know baseball... but i dont know the relative value of players, and when i hear the last manager traded 3 rounds of picks... nah i aint going out like that
That's fine but half of this league took over teams already in place. I took a team over in a shytty spot and had to Sam Hinkie that shyt. That team doesn't have a pick round 4 through 8. That really isn't a death wish in this leauge. Especially since you can keep Villar in the 22nd, Bregman in the 15th, Manea in the 15th
You can do what you want with the team. Trade draft picks to get what you need, or tank and trust the process.
It really doesn't matter that much to us though, we'll rock with 13 and do expansion next year if we want.

It's a snake draft based on last year's standings. The team you had finished in the money last year. The hitting categories are runs, HR, RBI, steals, avg, and on base percentage. The pitching categories are era, whip, k, saves, wins and quality starts.
You can keep up to 5 players in the original round drafted. All keepers can only be kept for 3 years before they reenter the draft pool. If you pick someone off of waivers they can be kept in the 15th round. Draft pick trading of picks for the next year is allowed. However an equal number of picks must be traded between teams. Your team does not have a 4th round pick but you have 2 12th round picks as an example.
Lately people have been tanking Philly style to set themselves up for the next year. Players who can't be kept usually get traded for future assets if you're out the race. The benefit of trading players you can't keep is that you get a draft pick and you know that player will be available next year. However, baseball is unforgiving. If you don't draft the right players you'll still lose. When people get out of the race they become sellers. If you sell late you might get pennies on the dollar. Or you can trade for potential keepers that can be kept at a low round. Someone drafted Carerra the 26th round one year and got the benefit of keeping him in that round.
It's a fun league.
thank you my man... the part where you say "You can keep up to 5 players in the original round drafted." so i can keep 5 players per round? what? doesnt every team draft once per round or what?
How many total players do u keep at the end of the year?
Also what do you mean if i pick up players on waiver, i can keep them in the 15th round?
You can keep 5 players total in the original drafted round. You can keep up to 5 but no more than 5.
Players who don't get drafted are free agents. Free agents can be kept at the value of a 15th round pick. If a player gets promoted from the minors and hits the waiver wire their keeper value is round 15.
Some people draft minor leaguers to stash...... I player drafted in round 20 that becomes a round 3 value is a great keeper.
