Keeper Champions- Official Fantasy Thread - Page 37

Yeah, that has to be a LM thing. I can only view my keepers. Everyone else is hidden on the keepers page. I can see rosters but no keeper designation, even not next to the people who have confirmed their keepers and dropped all other players.

In retrospect, setting the keeper deadline to the same day in 3 different leagues I run may have not been the brightest idea

psh, you only have to manage 3 keepers leagues for one day... child's play - say the guy that doesn't run any leagues

I noticed Fire was on earlier but he didn't bother coming to this thread. Guess he doesn't like us anymore.

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 03:30 PM

So we pretty much have someone to take over for Fire on standby, but I'm torn on Diem. He's paid and he's set keepers, but hasn't been around much lately nor historically. Autodraft by ADP will give him players if he doesn't come around to draft them himself, but that'll really slow things down and tbh not give him a great team

Ray27Ray52 · 03-01-2019, 03:35 PM

It kind of sucks because you can't even process Diem's keepers until he acknowledges and confirms. He paid early which obviously means he wants to participate. But we got to get him to actually show up consistently or the draft and fallout from ADP picks is going to be a real burden.

We've got to know those keepers soon. So we all can make our final preparations for the draft on Monday.

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 03:39 PM

The other thing is that if he never shows in the draft, simply going by ADP isn't going to be good enough because it could give him like 10 1Bs, for example

He's been around here and there, and someone mentioned he was military so that's obvs a good reason to not be on 24/7. But this timing isn't ideal

I'm a bit cold blooded and feel like if there is a member(s) who is going to hold everything up...refund and replace them.

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 03:41 PM

I believe I can easily refund which makes things a bit easier, but I'm still not a fan. Always figured that if someone wants to pay to play and then never touch their team once, that's up to them. Not saying Diem's been like that, though he's probably been in the bottom half of activeness. And, doing an offline draft this year complicates things

Ray27Ray52 · 03-01-2019, 03:43 PM

It's a tough spot for us to be in for sure. I really don't know what we should do. The season starts in less than 3 weeks, well technically anyways with the A's and Mariner's games in Japan.

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 03:45 PM

We still have 9ish hours before any deadlines are missed, so we'll see what happens and go from there. I don't want to wait and see if Diem does show up partway into the draft, though, it's gotta either be before the draft or never in terms of replacing

Ray27Ray52 · 03-01-2019, 03:50 PM

Do we even have someone in the pipeline to replace Diem if that would happen?

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 03:54 PM

Nobody officially but I don't think it'd be a big problem. He looks like he probably has some solid options and I know a bunch of people I could check with

Correct me if I’m wrong but Diem and Fire has the two lowest transaction totals in the league last year?

Replace fire with a (the) guy that really wants to actually be in the league. Then open up Diem’s spot tomorrow. Paid or not, deadlines have to be hit, and if there is no communication for numerous days and a deadline is missed, we gotta move up and keep the league going with people that will respond.

Not a knock on either of them, I really hope they are both okay, but you also want to keep this league competitive, and the later you find a replacement the harder it will be for that owner.

jstasyk1121 · 03-01-2019, 05:55 PM

not to get ahead of myself as i dont even know if you are going to ask me to replace if needed...for all i know you have 5 others in front of me...lol

but if there is 2 spots needed would i be able to select which team to take over or would i just be given one and the next guy take the other?

just curious...i know time is becoming an issue for you guys based on some of the comments...so in case i was needed/asked i didnt want to then take additional time asking or clarifying anything

thanks

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 05:58 PM

Diem responded to my PM, we're good. He's never missed any deadlines and he's locked in

As for Fire, we'll see if he says anything. If not, we'll replace and it will be just fine

I'll PM you

sounds good

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 06:09 PM

Checking rosters again, Fire has set his keepers and dropped his non-keepers, just hasn't paid yet. Hoping to hear back from him still to get some clarity

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 06:12 PM

Only issue is that one of his keepers is Goldy, who was taken in the first last year

Ray27Ray52 · 03-01-2019, 06:34 PM

So Fire didn't respond to you yet, set his keepers on his own, and still hasn't paid? Is that where we stand?

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 06:36 PM

Yeah.... Not ideal, don't know what to do. Tried PMing him again 15ish min ago but I haven't gotten a reply back in a long time so I don't think that's likely. If he pays by midnight we can keep him on, but if he doesn't I think we replace him and give JST his pick of keepers including the guys he dropped

Ray27Ray52 · 03-01-2019, 06:42 PM

Ah well. Hope he's ok. I don't know his situation but a little courtesy goes a long way.

Also, Diem has Baez and Wheeler as 15th rounders in the keepers column but he only has one 15th round pick right now. Don't know if that was an error or not.

Hollywood42 · 03-01-2019, 06:49 PM

Yeah I'm going to keep strictly the starting round value on the keepers tab for clarity. But I'll bump one of them up to 14th on the draft tab once I fill that in (tomorrow morning)
