12th Man Initiative
12th Man Initiative
As part of my ongoing "12th Man Initiative", I decided to go to Join Leagues and close 6 ATG leagues that showed 1 team remaining. These are all Auto Draft teams. I wanted to see the effects of the changes Guy has made to the system 1st hand. The teams are named 12th Man Fixer Uppers 1-6.
1. Less available talent available, obviously, but less than prior to changes.
2. If you like to play LH/RH matchups with your bullpen, you'll be disappointed if you draft late. I was lucky if there were 1 or 2 usable Lefties offered.
3. Even valuable bench guys are in short supply in some leagues.
4. I was RANKING for the supplementals anywhere from 1-4 and in the one league where I picked 4th it was slim pickings. In 1 league I picked 1st, in another 2 I picked 2nd. In those leagues I at least would get "difference maker" type player. I'm waiting for 2 leagues to fill.
I'll try to update this Post after the Supplementals and at various points in the seasons. At this time, 4 of the leagues are full and I've ranked for 1st round of Supplemental.
Leagues - 2095, 1076, 1228, 1989, 945, 1196.

Re: 12th Man Initiative
Nice work @sheikyerboudi ! In a 1970-present league I'm in that just started Barry Bonds was still available in the supplemental draft (I didn't get him lol) so the talent is making it through the draft at times. With the old system he was usually gone by the 3rd person that drafted if he even made it that long.
Re: 12th Man Initiative
you are doing well, every team i drafted as a late entrant is awful!! every 90+ grade pitcher i drafted is awful!! blake snell 0-5 14.50 era!! 18 ip 29 earned runs, another team has buehler and f. hernandez combined 7-13 close to 5 era!! apparently i don't know how to put a team together since draft stuff changed, every team i have is well below .500, only had 1 team previously that was this bad!! my teams look fine on paper but can't hit or pitch
Re: 12th Man Initiative
he finally made it to 25 innings so he can go to slump buster!! what a bum!!

Latest update:
Fixer Uppers ; 42-22
Fixer Uppers2: 37-28
Fixer Uppers3: 29-35
Fixer Uppers4: 34-30
Fixer Uppers5: 43-20
FU3 was always going to be the "problem child", weak draft and had to play guys that I didn't really want too. I spent 30 minutes on the team this morning and tried to shore up the defense and tweaked some CM stuff - we'll see if it helps.
