2013 Player Adds/Drops

Postby Kevin » Tue Feb 19, 2013 11:28 pm

Here are the players who will be added to, and dropped from, the DTBL roster for the 2013 season. These are not official, so there is time for you to get your two cents in if you think I've made some omissions or cut players who you would like to see remain. There is a good chance a few changes will be made because I've retained at least three players who remain unsigned: Kyle Lohse, Brian Wilson and Jose Valverde. In the case of Lohse, I find it hard to believe that he won't sign somewhere eventually, so he will probably stay. But if Wilson and Valverde don't get jobs soon, they will be replaced.

I haven't decided on a start date for the draft yet, but expect it to be somewhere around March 7. This upcoming weekend, I hope to get the web site set up with the new players and make draft picks available to be traded. So you will have until at least that time to chime in on these player changes.

Looks good, Kevin. Sad to see Romero go. Has our draft order tie breaker been decided? Also, what if we flip-flopped our order each round? So whoever gets the eighth pick in rd 1 gets the ninth in rd 2

Marc,

Romero was one of at least a dozen pitchers who I would have liked to have either kept or added. Starting pitching is incredibly deep right now, much like most offensive positions were a decade ago. So a pitcher who has been dropped to #5 in his team's rotation, coming off a terrible year, is probably not going to make the cut.

You will be picking ahead of me. The first tie-breaker for determining order of finish is to compute the standings looking at only the tied teams. I beat you in five categories, you were ahead of me in four and we tied in wins. So, from a draft order standpoint, I finished 2nd in the league last year and you were 3rd. But officially, it goes down as a tie. You will have the 8th pick in each round while I will pick 9th.

Your idea of alternating spots is a decent one, but we've never done it that way in the past so I don't think I'm going to change it now, especially with my team involved.

On the eve of the draft, I have decided to make two last minute changes to the draft roster. Since Jose Valverde and Brian Wilson remain unsigned, and there has been little talk of either of them finding a home soon, I have dropped them. Rather than springing brand new players on you on such short notice, instead I have decided to retain two players who had previously been cut: Aaron Crow and Mike Adams. I doubt this will have much of an effect on your draft strategy.

Kyle Lohse also remains unsigned, but I have decided to keep him in the league. Surely, someone will sign him eventually. And I didn't want to cut him following the best season of his career.

So the draft pool is now official. The draft will begin at approximately 7:30 p.m. EST tomorrow evening. Good luck!

The draft page is broken... it says the Mavs have only one first-round pick this year.

One final change. This one is literally a last minute change since I'm about to flip the switch to "on" for the draft. Rafael Furcal is going to miss the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, so he's pretty useless. I'm replacing him with someone only slightly more useful: Brandon Crawford. Hopefully this won't shake up your draft board too much.
