(10:57:46) Admin: Coqui logs into the Chat.
(11:06:51) Thoroughbreds: this is at 1 Eastern, right?
(11:08:35) Wind_Dancers: Yep
(11:08:58) Thoroughbreds: B)B)
(11:10:17) Wind_Dancers: Though I don't think there are any "superstars" in this draft, there should are some interesting options.
(11:11:27) Thoroughbreds: akways interesting players .....
(11:11:46) Thoroughbreds: I am frustr4ated because my ootp scout and statslab are way off on ratings
(11:11:47) Coqui: I'm on autopick for today...but putting together a list for tomorrow
(11:12:30) Wind_Dancers: Yea statslab scouts seem to have gotten into the drugged brownies...
(11:18:58) Thoroughbreds: Also with it not being ready until yesterday, making a list is impossible. I usually soend a week making a list in Excel .... export from game, export from statslab and merge .... then rank
(11:19:10) Thoroughbreds: no way I could do this yesterday
(11:20:02) Wind_Dancers: Ahh, yea I got a list together for the first few rounds last night. I'll do the same for the rest of the draft tonight
(11:20:11) Thoroughbreds: no real happy about that since I gathered a few extra picks this yr
(11:20:57) Thoroughbreds: :o)
(11:21:18) Thoroughbreds: woooo the cayenne is kickin in ... coffee too
(11:21:42) Thoroughbreds: Michigan or Wisconsin???
(11:21:51) Admin: Zephyrs logs into the Chat.
(11:25:02) Wind_Dancers: Probably Michigan. I was born into a Penn State family so they would kill me if they heard me say that
(11:25:17) Wind_Dancers: Though Wisc is fun to watch
(11:32:01) Thoroughbreds: Wi Big D this year .... it's still 0 0 but early
(11:32:50) Thoroughbreds: statslab list does not match OOTP .... can't find a few in game
(11:33:14) Admin: Bulldozers logs into the Chat.
(11:33:50) Wind_Dancers: Good news is I have a 1st round pick
(11:34:09) Wind_Dancers: I didn't have any issues with the list
(11:34:19) Wind_Dancers: Though I didn't look too deep for missing players
(11:35:08) Thoroughbreds: I am sorting in statslab then trying to find player in ootp ....
(11:35:11) Thoroughbreds: I think 3 already
(11:37:59) Bulldozers: I can't find any of my first 5 choices in StatsLab. Where are they hiding?
(11:40:00) Bulldozers: What's wrong with the damn StatsLab list? It's missing players included in OOTP's draft list.
(11:40:49) Thoroughbreds: LOL and that is opposite for me
(11:42:06) Thoroughbreds: WI scores ... 50yd
(11:42:19) Thoroughbreds: special teams score
(11:43:00) Thoroughbreds: punt return
(11:43:32) Bulldozers: Really? Football? Traitors.
(11:44:09) Thoroughbreds: pre-draft
(11:45:25) Admin: Trendsetters logs into the Chat.
(11:48:03) Alleghenies: technically we are 1 sim behind since Thursday never got run
(11:49:45) Zephyrs: Why would my scout place a guy 1st on my list that he scouts as "Bench Bat"
(11:50:12) Bulldozers: Scout believes you need to beef up that bench.
(11:50:29) Zephyrs: :D
(11:51:36) Admin: Commish logs into the Chat.
(11:52:24) Thoroughbreds: hey commish
(11:52:46) Admin: Borealis logs into the Chat.
(11:52:49) Thoroughbreds: can you shed some light on the ootp vs statslab pools not matching
(11:52:58) Commish: Thursday sim was run, and you can see the results in html reports and StatsLab. I've delayed putting up the file until after the draft.
(11:53:23) Borealis: Hey Guys!!! Ready for some Insanity!!!
(11:53:56) Wind_Dancers: :-)
(11:54:41) Commish: The pools haven't matched in forever. My suspicion is that StatsLab is picking up undrafted free agents and recycling them. I've downloaded the pool and will be doing a post-mortem in the coming days.
(11:55:19) Borealis: Yes, that's what it seems to me, looking at what Mark put up - LOTS of extra leftovers from last year...
(11:57:32) Commish: We have 1399 players in the StatsLab pool and 1020 in the ootp pool.
(11:57:38) Trendsetters: so, should we trust statslab or OOTP itself?
(11:58:00) Admin: Borealis has been logged out (Timeout).
(11:58:01) Admin: Borealis logs into the Chat.
(11:58:46) Thoroughbreds: we have to draft with statslab so that list should be the benchmark
(11:59:23) Admin: Leones logs into the Chat.
(11:59:39) Leones: :o)
(12:00:33) Commish: I'm hesitant to lay too much blame at the feet of StatsLab, when my StatsLab-fu is so weak.
(12:01:25) Bulldozers: What's a "StatsLab-fu"?
(12:01:59) Leones: statslab-fu is treatable with 60cc penicillin
(12:02:13) Commish: Draft is enabled. Bulldozers are up.
(12:03:10) Leones: this is going to be wild ride
(12:03:19) Bulldozers: TheBulldozers open the draft with ... SP Vinnie deBrouwer!
(12:03:20) Thoroughbreds: or 4 shots of Jaeger
(12:03:22) Trendsetters: do we enter the pick ourselves, or simply announce here?
(12:03:46) Bulldozers: Enter and announce.
(12:04:01) Commish: Enter and announce is traditional.
(12:04:39) Bulldozers: AS them quick-to-the-gate Dozers have done.
(12:05:00) Admin: Codgers logs into the Chat.
(12:05:13) Commish: London selects P David Tucker.
(12:05:21) Bulldozers: Where's the first pick Oohs and Aahs? The usual clamor over Why that guy first? Are you all asleep?
(12:05:39) Zephyrs: He was in my top 4
(12:05:44) Codgers: Zzzzzz...snrk--what? What just happened?
(12:05:48) Thoroughbreds: yes same here
(12:05:49) Admin: Akira logs into the Chat.
(12:06:02) Wind_Dancers: pretty far down my round 1 list
(12:06:02) Commish: Amsterdam selects P Artie McKinney.
(12:06:17) Zephyrs: OHHHH
(12:06:26) Zephyrs: Am I gonna get my top guy?
(12:06:35) Commish: Reno is up.
(12:06:48) Bulldozers: McKinney was in my top 5.
(12:06:56) Thoroughbreds: Michigan lost the ball on the 1 .... ouch
(12:06:57) Alleghenies: in MLB Lions wouldn't be able to pick him if I am correct
(12:07:07) Alleghenies: not that it matters in our league
(12:07:20) Zephyrs: Reno selects SP Danni Montes
(12:07:27) Zephyrs: My top guy
(12:07:38) Bulldozers: Arggggh! Football :(
(12:07:41) Codgers: Same here
(12:07:45) Thoroughbreds: LOLOLOL
(12:07:57) Zephyrs: Scott gets Scoot
(12:08:04) Bulldozers: Danni Montes was my second choice. Nice going, Scott!
(12:08:15) Codgers: Why didn't he fall to 15!?
(12:08:42) Bulldozers: Because he's just too talented to end up in the desert of Palm Springs.
(12:09:24) Zephyrs: My scout loves him and so do I. A rare agreement this draft.
(12:09:26) Codgers: :-(
(12:09:50) Thoroughbreds: pitching heavy
(12:10:12) Bulldozers: You can never have too much pitching.
(12:10:20) Codgers: Because I couldn't prepare my usual spreadsheets in time this year, I must depend heavily on my scout's acumen. *shudder*
(12:10:28) Thoroughbreds: unless you don't have any hitting
(12:10:47) Commish: Claymores select RF Marcos Uribe.
(12:10:56) Bulldozers: In which case you trade a pitcher for 2 hitters!
(12:11:04) Codgers: On of our top-rated hitters
(12:11:11) Codgers: *One
(12:11:31) Bulldozers: Uribe was in my top outfield list.
(12:11:45) Commish: Lions select P Andrés Rúbio.
(12:12:03) Commish: Reg is up.
(12:12:03) Borealis: I've no list...8o
(12:12:06) Zephyrs: My scout placed Uribe #1 and called him a bench bat
(12:12:37) Borealis: I'll be slow - sorry...
(12:12:37) Bulldozers: He was pulling your proverbial.
(12:12:37) Trendsetters: New Orleans select SP Vincente Diaz
(12:12:45) Wind_Dancers: Ooo Diaz was my #2
(12:12:50) Codgers: NOOOOOOOOOO
(12:13:07) Bulldozers: Things are going well, guys. Denny is moaning already!
(12:13:12) Codgers: I wanted 'Cheese' to fall to me!
(12:13:23) Commish: Shisa select P Jeff Ashley.
(12:14:30) Commish: Calzones select P António Madrid.
(12:15:02) Thoroughbreds: Dwnny moans every time the nurse enters his room
(12:15:35) Commish: Akira select P Carlos Romo.
(12:15:46) Codgers: Sad but true
(12:17:29) Commish: Fargo selects LF Benjamin Darke.
(12:17:40) Codgers: The first left fielder of the draft
(12:17:59) Thoroughbreds: big power
(12:18:03) Commish: Lions select RF Iwane Kimura.
(12:18:11) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects SP Jeffrey Mendoza
(12:18:46) Thoroughbreds: no hesitation there
(12:19:02) Wind_Dancers: #1 on my list
(12:19:27) Borealis: I wonder why David Tucker wasn't on the OOTP list - he's not a redraftee...?
(12:19:28) Wind_Dancers: One of the few my scout loves
(12:19:33) Leones: Mendoza is where I draw the line :)
(12:19:54) Bulldozers: :D
(12:19:55) Codgers: *dies*
(12:20:00) Leones: this draft is plugging right along, nice job gents!
(12:20:29) Bulldozers: If Denny is dead, can the Dozers have his draft picks?
(12:20:59) Codgers: Death by pun!
(12:21:15) Commish: Canton selects P Nelson Refújio,
(12:21:16) Codgers: I willed them all to the WIL
(12:21:38) Commish: Codgers are up.
(12:22:09) Coqui: Got a short list up just in time
(12:22:17) Bulldozers: Don't breathe until you pick, Denny!
(12:22:28) Alleghenies: I think in the future we need to figure out how to get OOTP and statslab on same page.
(12:22:35) Codgers: Palm Springs selects SP Masanobu Fujimoto
(12:23:06) Codgers: Stupid scout better be right about this Fujimoto character!! *glowers darkly*
(12:23:25) Bulldozers: Way to go, Denny! He was 7th on my list.
(12:23:39) Commish: Agreed, Greg.
(12:23:45) Codgers: I am having a great draft for Yuma so far
(12:24:01) Bulldozers: Enjoying every minute of it, my old friend.
(12:24:11) Coqui: Antonio Avila
(12:24:18) Borealis: 40% of this class so far isn't in the OOTP list...
(12:24:34) Alleghenies: I know, which is crazy as that is the only list I use
(12:24:34) Bulldozers: Yeah, I can't find them either.
(12:24:38) Zephyrs: Fujimoto also rated high by "Diamond Journalists"
(12:25:05) Commish: Badgers select P José Alomar.
(12:25:45) Leones: Havana selects LF Albert Greene
(12:25:49) Bulldozers: José Alomar is the spitting image of his cousin Sandy.
(12:26:43) Borealis: FYI - good thing we don't draft in-game - only 20 spaces...
(12:27:31) Commish: Duluth selects LF Carl Russell.
(12:28:01) Commish: Bears are up.
(12:28:44) Codgers: Bewares the Bears
(12:29:08) Bulldozers: Your jokes are unbearable.
(12:29:57) Codgers: Some might even call them grizzly
(12:30:08) Leones: Oh you silver tip!
(12:30:12) Commish: Bobby was logged in the forums a little while ago....
Bears PMed. We'll hold here for a little bit.
(12:30:51) Zephyrs: we'll Bear with you
(12:30:53) Borealis: *note to self... Self, the list in OOTP expands once you reach 20... duh...
(12:31:10) Borealis: I can't bear this, but we should pass them up...
(12:32:08) Bulldozers: This paws is getting rather long.
(12:33:31) Admin: Longshoremen logs into the Chat.
(12:33:43) Codgers: Ahoy Canton!
(12:33:58) Longshoremen: Ugh. If you don't submit a draft list, you just get the worst random player on the board?
(12:34:20) Codgers: He will probably turn into a megastar
(12:34:21) Borealis: Pretty much...
(12:35:42) Borealis: I think that's the draw back of StatsLab horrible scouting...
(12:36:16) Codgers: I should probably be adding more guys to my list right now since I only have nine left on it currently, but....*shrug*
(12:37:34) Longshoremen: Well, I guess I'll have 2 1st rounders next year.
(12:37:41) Admin: Coqui logs out of the Chat.
(12:38:22) Borealis: I have none - not having this full list, plus the confusing new system has us running blind - This draft is all on Joe Horn - he better hope he's done a good job scouting...
(12:38:47) Thoroughbreds: problem I see with drafting with statslab list is that if the player is not in OOTP we can't see the chow hard he is to sign
(12:39:13) Bulldozers: And if he IS in OOTP but not in StatsLab, we can't draft him!
(12:39:16) Codgers: Or how our scout sees him
(12:39:23) Thoroughbreds: well there is that
(12:39:25) Borealis: You can, you have to find him... He's there, but they are not in the OOTP list because OOTP sees them as FA...
(12:39:44) Commish: Bears select P Carl Ball.
(12:39:56) Codgers: Right, without a lot of manual work to look up each one individually
(12:40:02) Borealis: I don't think there's a player on the OOTP list that is not in StatsLab...
(12:40:15) Borealis: Exactly Denny...
(12:40:23) Bulldozers: I just did a search for a couple guys in my OOTP list. They are nowhere in StatsLab--unless they changed their names.
(12:40:48) Thoroughbreds: maybe diff position???
(12:41:00) Bulldozers: I'm searching the whole list alphabetically.
(12:41:08) Admin: Trendsetters has been logged out (Timeout).
(12:41:11) Admin: Trendsetters logs into the Chat.
(12:41:13) Leones: use player ids to be sure
(12:41:37) Commish: Sandgnats select CF Sancho Bautista.
(12:41:37) Bulldozers: And where do we find those mysterious things?
(12:42:04) Bulldozers: Sancho Bautista! My next choice! Curses, Sandy Gnatty things!
(12:42:08) Borealis: See... Carl Ball - not on the OOTP list, and not a 2025 undraftee - why isn't he on the list as a 4th year college player?
(12:42:49) Admin: Trendsetters has been logged out (Invalid IP address).
(12:43:11) Thoroughbreds: NO got a penalty?
(12:43:18) Leones: "Sancho Bautista" I 'd pick him for his name alone :P
(12:43:21) Admin: Longshoremen has been logged out (Timeout).
(12:43:21) Admin: Akira has been logged out (Timeout).
(12:43:26) Thoroughbreds: rough draft these days
(12:43:28) Admin: Trendsetters logs into the Chat.
(12:43:32) Codgers: indeed
(12:43:38) Commish: Arlington selects P Jorge López.
(12:43:43) Bulldozers: Great name!
(12:44:37) Commish: Back to Crystal Lake, who select SP António Vélez.
(12:44:46) Trendsetters: What do u mean i got a penalty lol
(12:45:01) Thoroughbreds: booted for IP address violation
(12:45:43) Commish: Harpoon select P Luis Paredes.
(12:45:51) Trendsetters: oh lol. im on my phone in a car
(12:45:52) Alleghenies: 11 more picks and I get to choose woohoo
(12:46:14) Leones: My list doesn't even have Carl Ball guess I need to refine the process ... (though I kind of like having some gaps, makes for an interesting draft)
(12:47:18) Commish: Warriors select P Henry Carter.
(12:47:21) Zephyrs: I have to step away for a few. I am on list pick.
(12:47:43) Borealis: Not when more than a third of those taken in the first round aren't on the game list - really feels like we're missing opportunities...
(12:47:47) Commish: Kentucky is up.
(12:48:12) Codgers: Yeah, this year seems a little extreme
(12:48:14) Thoroughbreds: KyT selects (another pitcher) P Rory Soutar
(12:48:34) Alleghenies: I liked him
(12:48:55) Borealis: Another one!! That's 11 of 26...
(12:48:55) Thoroughbreds: I have to search for him in game now
(12:50:22) Admin: Longshoremen logs into the Chat.
(12:50:38) Commish: Florida selects P Weston Condon.
(12:51:05) Codgers: Sounds like an old west gunfighter
(12:51:33) Bulldozers: :D
(12:51:43) Wind_Dancers: Soutar is in-game for me
(12:51:57) Wind_Dancers: Not sure if he's on the draft list though
(12:52:12) Commish: Coqui select P Marcel Osterhout.
(12:52:30) Codgers: I don't see Soutar on my OOTP draft list
(12:52:39) Bulldozers: A French Swede! How exotic.
(12:52:55) Alleghenies: So close to my pick, I need to run to store. I need an ingredient for dinner!!!
(12:52:57) Thoroughbreds: ya I can't find in game
(12:53:01) Wind_Dancers: I wonder if the draft list in-game changes when the draft actually starts
(12:53:28) Thoroughbreds: use garlic
(12:53:34) Codgers: Greg, everyone knows the draft is more important than mere food
(12:53:44) Commish: Aurora is up.
(12:53:50) Alleghenies: I have no picks for a while after this
(12:53:56) Borealis: The Aurora Borealis select with their first pick in the 2026 Draft, Rob Imhoff, SP from the University of Iowa...
(12:53:59) Alleghenies: so I can run to store and get ingredient and keep drafting
(12:54:03) Borealis: Not on the OOTP list...
(12:54:43) Codgers: Imhoff, Yourehoff, Wereallhoff
(12:54:49) Bulldozers: Never trust a Hawkeye, esp. named Imhoff.
(12:55:02) Alleghenies: hasselhoff!!!
(12:55:07) Borealis: There have been some great Dutch names in the past few years...
(12:55:42) Codgers: heh
(12:56:08) Commish: Evas select P Ángel Sánchez.
(12:56:39) Commish: Yuma is up.
(12:56:51) Thoroughbreds: o wtf ... Soutar is injured
(12:56:57) Borealis: He's going to run to the mound and look at those SL batters and chant, "Imuff and Impuff and Imblow your house down"...
(12:57:21) Bulldozers: Yuma selects 3B José Contreras.
(12:57:26) Wind_Dancers: Yep Soutar had elbow surgery
(12:57:48) Thoroughbreds: wasted pick ... thanks statslab-ootp
(12:58:08) Alleghenies: Commish I can't pick
(12:58:12) Longshoremen: Mark Ray (1-3 pick two years ago) had elbow surgery and he's tearing up AAA this sesaon.
(12:58:14) Alleghenies: It tells me WV has no picks
(12:58:21) Borealis: I've given up keeping track - too many not in the in-game list...
(12:58:31) Borealis: refresh?
(12:58:45) Wind_Dancers: Soutar actually improved during the last development update from my scout.
(12:58:50) Alleghenies: Yes, it says I own no picks
(12:58:54) Wind_Dancers: On June 1st
(12:58:55) Alleghenies: but it is my pick
(12:58:57) Longshoremen: Yeah, can we draft guys that are in game, but not in STatsLab? and if so, how?
(12:58:58) Thoroughbreds: Imhoff ... injured
(12:59:04) Alleghenies: Should I just announce it here?
(12:59:22) Commish: On the plus side, the success rate for radial nerve decompression surgery is pretty good.
(12:59:43) Alleghenies: (whispers to Commish) what should i do about pick
(13:00:04) Borealis: He is, but I suspect that a finger injury won't be a lasting one...
(13:00:27) Thoroughbreds: is this why they are not in ootp list?
(13:00:29) Commish: No picks = you haven't picked anybody yet.
(13:00:47) Alleghenies: WV picks P Tommy Taylor
(13:01:02) Wind_Dancers: Good pick
(13:01:17) Bulldozers: Never heard of him.
(13:01:31) Commish: Round one is in the books. On to the supplemental.
(13:01:37) Admin: Trendsetters has been logged out (Invalid IP address).
(13:01:48) Bulldozers: Applause.
(13:01:50) Thoroughbreds: another NO penalty
(13:01:52) Alleghenies: be back shortly
(13:02:16) Bulldozers: Please refrain from spoiling a morning contemplating baseball with scores from that other (unspeakable) sport.
(13:02:34) Commish: Lions select RF Anthony Gamble.
(13:02:38) Thoroughbreds: NO as in Trendsetters
(13:02:43) Thoroughbreds: kickout of chat
(13:03:07) Codgers: That is a difference from previous drafts....in your war room the "Draft Picks" box used to show your upcoming picks in future rounds, as well as the players you had already chosen, didn't it?
(13:03:14) Commish: Calzones select P Tony Nichols.
(13:03:45) Commish: I seem to recall it that way, Denny.
(13:04:37) Commish: Warriors select P Ángel Rivera.

(13:06:49) Commish: Florida selects CF Curt Cook.
(13:07:26) Commish: Aurora is up.
(13:07:45) Bulldozers: Damn, that Curt fella was gonna cook my goose tonight!
(13:08:12) Borealis: The Aurora Borealis select with their 2nd pick in the 2026 draft, SP Jesus Solis from Michigan State University...
(13:08:16) Codgers: That cook was extremely curt
(13:08:34) Codgers: Oooo, rolling the dice with another off-list pick!
(13:09:11) Commish: Arlington selects RF Jorge Pezina.
(13:09:59) Commish: Duluth selects SP Jorge Zamora.
(13:10:01) Admin: Trendsetters logs out of the Chat.
(13:10:12) Commish: Bringing us to the Second Round.
(13:10:34) Commish: Yums is up.
(13:10:45) Admin: Trendsetters logs into the Chat.
(13:10:48) Commish: Yep, it's lunch time...
(13:10:58) Commish: Bulldozers are also up.
(13:12:38) Commish: That's you, Bob.
(13:13:20) Bulldozers: Yup. Two guys I had lined up to draft disappeared from the StatsLab list. Not drafted. Just vanished. So ...
(13:13:41) Codgers: Abducted
(13:13:42) Admin: Trendsetters logs out of the Chat.
(13:13:47) Bulldozers: Yuma goes to its third choice in this round: C José Peña.
(13:13:55) Commish: Now there's a story seed.
(13:14:09) Alleghenies: Were they Latin? Maybe being held for ranson
(13:14:39) Admin: Trendsetters logs into the Chat.
(13:14:43) Bulldozers: One's name was Zamora. Probably Sandanista.
(13:14:49) Commish: London selects P Rick Terry.
(13:15:05) Wind_Dancers: Jorge Zamora was drafted, if that was him
(13:15:26) Commish: Lions select CF Brian Dean.
(13:16:10) Commish: Reno is up.
(13:16:34) Bulldozers: Ah, I missed that. Of course, as I was selecting him, he got drafted. Nice timing, Duluth!
(13:16:58) Codgers: There are three guys I currently have my eye on....hope they are not abducted over the next ten or so picks
(13:17:14) Admin: Trendsetters has been logged out (Timeout).
(13:17:24) Wind_Dancers: Give me there names and I will make sure they won't...
(13:18:04) Codgers: for the right price?
(13:18:31) Alleghenies: Mark and had his Chinese hacker friends hack your list Bob!!!
(13:18:49) Codgers: Let's be honest, someone else drafting them is indistinguishable from abduction
(13:19:08) Admin: Zephyrs has been logged out (Timeout).
(13:19:22) Borealis: So true, Denny!
(13:19:42) Borealis: Freakin' F-heads have been doing that to us for years...
(13:20:00) Admin: Longshoremen has been logged out (Timeout).
(13:20:02) Borealis: All the way back to 'Moondog',,,,
(13:20:14) Codgers: yes
(13:20:38) Commish: Scott's got a list, but we'll give him a couple of minutes.
(13:21:24) Admin: Longshoremen logs into the Chat.
(13:21:43) Longshoremen: Actually, never mind. Operator error.
(13:22:02) Commish: The coming or the going?
(13:22:19) Longshoremen: Heh, all of the above.
(13:23:56) Commish: Reno selects SP Tadahisa Wakabayashi.
(13:24:09) Bulldozers: What a name!
(13:24:34) Codgers: Come on now, that can't be real!
(13:25:06) Commish: Claymores select SP Tadahisa Wakabayashi.
(13:25:24) Commish: Controversy!
(13:25:28) Borealis: Why is #5287 Ed Madore on the draft board?
(13:25:34) Codgers: They both can't draft teh same fellow!!
(13:25:45) Codgers: Now I kind of want to draft him as well
(13:25:57) Commish: Actually, Claymores select SP Jim Farley.
(13:27:16) Codgers: Nearly Farley
(13:29:06) Commish: Madore has certainly taken an unusual path.
(13:29:43) Commish: Waiting to see if Reg pops back in again.
(13:30:08) Borealis: Shouldn't he have been ineligible for college?
(13:31:07) Commish: In RL, certainly, but age is the only qualifier for college players, I believe.
(13:31:29) Admin: Zephyrs logs into the Chat.
(13:31:44) Admin: Trendsetters logs into the Chat.
(13:32:04) Thoroughbreds: maybe he serve in military
(13:32:13) Trendsetters: apparently i can still draft via my phone
(13:32:19) Admin: Longshoremen has been logged out (Timeout).
(13:32:23) Codgers: Where is the NCAA to protect our electronic schools from the dread influence of....PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES!?
(13:32:31) Commish: New Orleans, phoning it in...
(13:32:47) Trendsetters: NO selects RP Jason Harvey

(13:38:49) Codgers: Ah, I was wondering how long Mr Trujillo would last
(13:39:08) Wind_Dancers: Hopefully his "Hands" are the good kind
(13:39:13) Commish: Unfortunately no wheels to go with those hands.
(13:39:37) Borealis: Ohhhhhhhh... Win-D's.... Those Stormy eyes....
(13:39:40) Borealis: Grrrrrrrr.
(13:39:59) Codgers: They put a statue of Trujillo up in right field....oh wait, that's actually him
(13:40:01) Borealis: Aurora locked! List of none....
(13:40:48) Thoroughbreds: I heard he was the best twiddler in school
(13:42:55) Wind_Dancers: It will take him awhile to get to the ball, but when he does, watch out!
(13:43:23) Commish: Fun fact. While editing the international high school and college player lists to weed out Amercian players, I got to make up a lot of names.
(13:43:41) Codgers: HMMMMM
(13:44:00) Thoroughbreds: maybe we have star wars characters????
(13:44:13) Bulldozers: So where his Hoshang Furstach?
(13:44:32) Bulldozers: *is

(13:46:48) Admin: Trendsetters has been logged out (Timeout).
(13:47:05) Codgers: Sorry Bob, I forgot I wasn't drafting for Yuma....
(13:47:32) Codgers: With a name like "Cisco", who could resist
(13:48:19) Thoroughbreds: Cisco KID

(13:54:47) Commish: Leones are up.
(13:55:52) Leones: Havana selects C Bartolo Trujillo

(13:56:18) Codgers: Trujillos in big demand this year
(13:56:46) Codgers: Two taken in just this round alone
(13:57:18) Bulldozers: Any odds on when they will stage their coup?
(13:57:26) Leones: shhhhhh :)
(13:57:35) Commish: Most of the names I put in were not that unusual. Although the Dutch names can be a hoot even when you're not trying.

(14:02:03) Thoroughbreds: now that's a good Irish name

(14:06:20) Commish: Evas select P Bill Green.
(14:06:55) Commish: Yuma is up.
(14:07:11) Codgers: A Dozers double coming up!
(14:07:21) Bulldozers: With the first of its two consecutive picks, Yuma chooses RF Bill Bingham.
(14:08:09) Borealis: Yup... Denny... and not one of them was on the previous years draft list, meaning they all should have been on this years...
(14:08:39) Bulldozers: And to open round 3, Yuma picks SP Pablo Vázquez.
(14:09:29) Codgers: Another fellow with an....interesting....path to college
(14:11:16) Commish: London selects SP Vance Duncan.

(14:13:41) Borealis: He was on the OOTP list... We'll see if he wants to go to college or not...
(14:15:01) Codgers: Five on my list, eight picks ahead of me. Nervous time!
(14:15:14) Commish: Claymores select SP Kenny Crochet.
(14:15:35) Alleghenies: Damn you London!!!

(14:17:29) Zephyrs: :D
(14:17:35) Borealis: It's a Desert Hills thing...
(14:17:39) Wind_Dancers: 2 left on my list from the start before I have to repopulate for tomorrow.
(14:18:21) Coqui: Am back with a short list. Statslab autopick sucked
(14:18:59) Alleghenies: WV picks P Donald Lesher
(14:19:27) Commish: I've discovered a variance between StatsLab and Ootp draft ages out of college. The ootp setting is off by a year. That's an easy fix.
(14:21:23) Commish: Akira select 2B Elwood Dye.
(14:21:43) Codgers: Excellent Commish!
(14:21:56) Alleghenies: Woohoo, I swept ARL on the road!!!now that I have no picks I can look at statslab!!

(14:23:30) Wind_Dancers: Toyama selects P Daichi Chishu

(14:27:23) Alleghenies: Palm Springs drafts him!!!
(14:27:33) Commish: Huh, two pitchers named Jorge Lopez in the draft.
(14:27:38) Codgers: No doubt he prefers our warm desert climes
(14:27:56) Alleghenies: You can have him.

(14:29:47) Alleghenies: He likes sitting in front of a pool with a pina colada
(14:30:26) Commish: Bears pick C Davey Short.
(14:30:41) Codgers: Is he dumb? Disloyal? A terrible leader? Values his accomplishments more than winning? Yes, all those things.
(14:31:00) Codgers: But he is still much loved by the salmon and green
(14:31:13) Commish: Arlington picks LF Frank Tyler.
(14:31:45) Commish: Bakersfield picks LF Randy Terry.
(14:32:25) Thoroughbreds: Wisconsin gonna win up 24 10 with 1:46 left
(14:32:38) Coqui: Damn I just saw there were two Jorge Lopez's and only one in OOTP....that was a wasted pick. Statslab leftover has e.r.a. in the 8s
(14:33:16) Commish: Duluth picks C Gilberto Smith.
(14:33:52) Alleghenies: We had this guy on the basketball team in college who got a scholarship and he was awful. The previous coach had accidentally offered the scholarship to the wrong guy
(14:34:19) Commish: Harpoon select P Gerardo Francisco.
(14:34:27) Wind_Dancers: Assuming that's how he lost his job?

(14:38:00) Commish: Aurora's up.
(14:38:48) Borealis: The Aurora Borealis select with the 91 pick in the 2026 Draft, out of Canuck HS, where they play in a 35,000 seat stadium - that's one Big Ass High School, by way of Allen, Texas, SS Frank Evans...
(14:39:13) Zephyrs: They love their HS Baseball
(14:40:35) Alleghenies: lol
(14:40:36) Commish: Evas select P Abraham Martin.

(14:41:49) Thoroughbreds: ditto
(14:42:04) Commish: Calzones select C Lonnie Lyon.

(14:44:30) Alleghenies: (whispers to Commish) I should have Hartford 4th round pick not mine for tomorrow.. Not sure if you have updated those picks. SA should have mine
(14:45:03) Borealis: WHOO HOOO!!! That actually went pretty quick...
(14:45:43) Bulldozers: No technical glitches. Nice work guys.
(14:45:45) Commish: The draft order for rounds 4-15 is not yet set in StatsLab. A lot of 4th round picks changed hands so that draft order will change quite a bit.
(14:46:18) Bulldozers: As long as Yuma is still first. I'm ready ... waiting ... sitting at the keyboard all night if necessary ...
(14:47:03) Alleghenies: Ok..
(14:47:52) Thoroughbreds: woooooo ... my last pick my scout gave excellent ratings for
(14:48:10) Commish: First five tomorrow are Yuma, London, Amsterdam, Reno, and Edinburgh.
(14:48:38) Bulldozers: ALLLRIGGGHHHT! Hasta mañana, amigos.

Great Transcript, But why was I drafting when I traded my picks? What will happen to the picks that were traded and not drafted by the correct team?

Duluth Warriors:

LOSE DUL 2nd Rd Pick (to SJ)
LOSE DUL 3rd Rd Pick (to KTY)

What are the rules on not signing draftees? Ran out of time to make a draft list and not stoked about the AI selected players. Will be trying to join by 11:30 today whenever I’m home.

Duluth picked in the 23rd spot, and those picks were properly allocated.

The two first rounders Duluth ended up with were compensation picks.
