2019 DobberBaseball League

I just found it in my junk folder. I was working 12 hour shifts with an hour commute each way the past week so I didn’t have much time to look. I’m going into this with no prep so I’m all set to go. I have a target for my number 4 pick so that is as much prep as I’ll be doing.

Will you be adding players as they are selected again this year commish?

We will try to keep as up to date as possible. But the best place to look will be on the forum.

I will have to add some extra "co-commish" again to help out.

Strange that nobody else saw the email with the draft order, as I could see who it sent to and there were 11 addresses on there (excluding HR of course). Nevermind, glad I got it to confirm it did make it through to someone.

I received the draft order via e-mail.

Consensus is in.

Trade deadline: August 18
Moves/Week = 4
Min IP = 32
2 Util / 4 OF = Yep. Get those deep rankings ready!

I also updated the Commish note stating we will start the draft on the forum Monday February 25. That gives everyone over week to get their shit together

Is Bryce Harper ranked so low because he is still a free agent or has he fallen out of the Top 10?

You have a week to figure that out

I think there has been some talent that has passed him and he is outside the top 10... just my thoughts though.

It was more a question regarding yahoo rankings, not necessarily looking for personal opinions. I’ll be drafting on the fly likely using a consensus ranking anyways.

He was my first round pick (about 10th overall) last year in a 20 team league where I came first, so I have nothing against him as a top 10 guy haha.
Though since I'm picking 2nd my opinion on him hardly matters!

He's where he is only because of his 2015 season I think. He's still a top guy, but his average season after 2015 is still:
per162games
0.267avg
0.386OBP
0.896OPS
110Runs
34HR
106RBI
15SB

per his average 139games
0.266avg
0.385OBP
0.889OPS
94Runs
29HR
91RBI
13SB

Like it's solid SOLID numbers, but is he really a top 10 guy? Hard to say as an OF.

I find Yahoo rankings can be a bit hit or miss, plus it's based on their default settings and I suppose other (il)logical reasons. I wouldn't put too much stock into it but I guess it's a decent guide to compare with other sites. It also shows there's a lot of talent at the top, and how they are ranked will essentially come down to personal opinion/projection.

I only asked because I thought it was odd that yahoo didn’t have him in their top 20 and thought maybe it was because he hasn’t signed yet. I haven’t looked at any rankings yet other than yahoo’s top 25 (page 1). I won’t be using yahoo rankings at all, never have. But as I said, my plan is to just draft on the fly using consensus rankings, likely from Fantasy Pros. I also really like the In This League Fantasy Baseball Podcast. Bogman and The Welsh know their shit and they are hilarious. I put a lot of stock in their opinions.

It could have to do with not being signed as well, plus a combination of other things. If he signs soon, it would be interesting to have a look to see if they've moved him up.

Haha Ya i know I was just joking. As others have said I think it's a combination of both. He hasn't been worth his draft spot for the last few years and now he hasn't signed.

[DusterDave]

I lied. All this discussion has got me a bit more into it and I’ve started my draft prep. So much for drafting on the fly.

[Eskimo Brother]

I know who I'm taking second overall, and that's about it.
