Woo, one team left!

So assuming we get the Nationals filled at some point

Which of these potential draft times is best for people

Sunday April 23 - 6pm EST
Wednesday April 26 - 6pm EST
Friday April 28 - 6pm EST (my personal favorite choice)

Keep in mind this draft has taken upwards of 6 hours in the past depending on how many people are there and how slow Wigs is.

Also feel free to post draft strategies or PM them to me.

Already have:

Kora - Beards
FD - F or D
MMX - Short

I am getting married on friday
---

Sunday is good for me
---

Sunday or Wednesday would work for me I think
---

I'll be in Vegas Sunday and Wednesday. So I vote Friday.
---

Sunday is best for me.
---

not sure if any draft time works particularly well for me, especially if it takes 6 hours. feel free to schedule it around other people's availability and I'll show up if I can. uhh... in terms of priority I do have a request but I wonder if it might be too complicated.

basically what I want is

'sort the players by whoever has the highest overall stats, then pick the highest person on that list with a reputation for scummy behavior'

example people who have been caught cheating, get ejected from games frequently, have anger issues, are known for hitting batters with their pitches often, involved in PED or other scandals, etc. etc. etc.

this step would be repeated each round as it comes back to my turn, with priority eventually shifting toward just filling the positions where I need players to play those positions. that request does seem a bit complicated though since it would require input from the other players or at least for you/wigs to make a judgement call every single time my draft comes around to look at the list and be like 'hmmm this player seems scummy enough to be on maria's team....'

if it's too much I'll try to think of something else
---

In case I miss the draft I want the best available Japanese man

I don't think there's enough to fill a roster though so after that just give me the best non-American player available
---

Oh no, poor voltch.

definitely the biggest concern right there
---

Are you doing legends again this year?
---

yes
---

bumpo
---

Draft won't be today
---

K

Bump
---

I am gonna pencil the draft in for Friday at 6pm est.

Could still change but right now it looks like that is when i can.

Feel free to submit more draft policies or lists of players to reach for or order you want positions taken or whatever.

25 rounds will be drawn for sure. After that will probably be auto draft but we'll see what people are saying when we get there.
---

Sweet. Won't be there...but sweet.
---

I will pm you strats then
---

Yeah sorry Emerald. I know it's your wedding and you are usually there for the draft.
---

It's okay, the needs of the many > the needs of the few
---

Btw yazzy that draft strategy is amazing
---

Ha.
---

If there's a discord app for tablet, I could possibly join the draft for a spell.
---

was my draft idea too complicated? or is this fine?

I can maybe try to show up if I need to
---

All strategies are fine. How much i can complete them will depend on what other users do.

The more complex the harder it is or the worse your team may be

So like MMX wants only short guys. Say the next guy under six feet is an 85 when the top player available is an 88. That does add up.
---

oh yeah I'm fine if my team is not great, as long as they are scummy. just didn't want you and wigs to do a bunch of extra work on my behalf.
---

Wigs will do more work than humanly possible for just his own team lol
---

So Maria has to get Utley, marte, Ian Kennedy, Matt Barnes, Chris Coghlan, odor...
---

...Aroldis Chapman...
---

Jeurys familia
---

Jose Reyes
Jung Ho Kang
Keon Broxton
...
---

I'm not too knowledgeable of The Show (lowly XB1 owner here), but if there's some sort of IQ rating for players, then my draft strats will be players with high IQs (like 90+ only)
---

I don't believe there is an IQ stat

Alright

Then uuuuh

Go for players that are really fast, like 90+ only (and pitchers with really good pitch speed too)
---

High speed and velocity i can do though 90+ is a short list
---

Alright, what about 85+
---

Its a roster of 40... There will be bad players on every team bit i can do my best to ensure your bad guys are still comparatively quick to the rest of what is around

You may want to pick a first basemen and catcher because I don't know many with speed of that site.

Hey Nick, I wanna do a quick amendment to my list. If the best available former Pirate is not within 7 overall points of my best available need then go with my best available need please.
