yeah i love that name too. in fact a couple of times i have wanted to tell ppl about how great that name is irl but then i keep realizing that the fantasy baseball music pun game is a venn diagram with a brutally tiny sliver

Officially his role to lose.
Thanks. That was the name I wanted the first season I played, but Yahoo's character limit back then didn't allow it (so I settled for the Cerutti Column).
Team names understood only by music nerds, and premium young talent sentenced to a decade on mediocre squads: my fantasy baseball legacy.
There's this guy Ross Baumgarten!

Of course...I associate him with the White Sox and all those good young starters they had at the time, but I was thinking of Bumgarner too.

did we determine that it's impossible to get yahoo fantasy to show a list of ALL available players (i.e., both batters and pitchers, in expected draft order, with the selected keepers taken out)

I need lots of help on this, so I made one up myself using a Sporting News list--anyone who wants to, feel free to use it.

For yahoo, I don’t think there’s a way to view pitchers AND hitters together
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 18 March 2024 16:06 (six months ago) link
on the fantasy app, you can in fact view them all together. i don't understand why the desktop site is lagging in that respect.

yeah the current in-draft tool is incredibly robust compared to even like 4 years ago.

Juan Soto and Luis Robert Jr shouldn't be on this list, they're both keepers. Or am I interpreting this wrong?

I will likely be at "The Society of Magical Negros" during the beginning of the draft so maybe AutoDraft will be better than I usually am at roster construction
BTW Baseball Prospectus came up with "Arraez Were Watching God" so...damn.

i feel pretty good about the draft, i made a plan and largely stuck with it until the last few rounds when i maybe floundered a little and overlooked some good remaining options. if i'd realized that Friedl is injured i might have pushed for another good OF earlier in the draft but i didn't see that until after.

Learned around 6:45 EST that I wouldn't be able to make the draft, frantically shuffled rankings and deleted injured players, then learned the hard way about not being able to make changes within half an hour of a draft. (Should be good with five healthy arms, right?)

I had to auto-draft this year, the results weren't horrible but my SP corps consists of Logan Webb (keeper) and unsigned Jordan Montgomery. The first thing I did today was to put in claims for the SP scraps on the waiver wire.

Anything I ask will be Fantasy Baseball for Dummies level...What is the easiest, best way for me to keep track of injuries? I mean really easy--all in one spot, well organized. Is that information right on the Yahoo site, maybe even right on my team list? I won't even get into what I'm supposed to do if I have an injured player until I do.
