I decided to go with 10 minute times today, and going to be that way from here on out. As previously stated, I have some minor scheduling things and division realignment to do before we go in to the season.

Very much disagree. 2 solid starters at least (2 is not the cut off but it’s really just the point of quality over quantity in that respect.) then after that you can build through streaming and average starters that can easily be rotated out. At that point the ppg doesn’t really matter because it’s all the same.

You can make up to 12 starts per week, you will need them most weeks to win. When most teams will be carrying 8 SP's there are historically no decent pitchers to stream. You will be relying on #4 or #5 starters on big league rosters, AAA call-ups or spot starters.

This 18 team league is a different animal than smaller league, especially needing to win by points, head-to-head every week.

It's cool if that's your strategy, just saying it tends not to work out in this league very often.

Anyway, back to my question... how does everyone feel about their drafts?

I think so far, I'm cautiously optimistic about my draft; I kinda like it. I wish my #2 SP was a little more reliable than Marquez, but at least he's still got room to grow. I guess it would have been nice to have a closer at this point, but picking at the end didn't give me anyone in my tiers when it gets to me.

It's going to be tough for me this year with this roster because I was so used to the likes of Ramirez, Rizzo, Bryant, Kluber, deGrom and Severino on my roster over the last few seasons, lol. It's different not seeing that solid of a "core" anymore.

Looking like we can get this done by tomorrow. Do you think we can slightly adjust weekdays by doing 15m per pick? If that won't get us done by Thursday then it's not an issue; I just think it would be easier for myself and others in the league if we spread out the times just a little bit on weekdays.
