7 innings must be pitched from your pitching lineup for the week to score points for the pitching categories. Stats from games abandoned due to rain are not counted. Games can be declared a result after 5 innings if a team is leading and those stats will count.
As for the draft order, it should be up 45 mins mins before the draft starts. Just go to your team page and enter the live draft. Should be fun

Not quite as enjoyable as I'd hoped, I'm lacking power. But I did get a few players I wanted including my 1st choice in 2 positions and 2nd choice for another. We'll see how it goes anyway. I think I had picked the right players, I just didn't choose in the right order so lost out on a couple of players by drafting others too early.

Deffo keep an eye on the Waivers. The transactions trends will tell who manager are picking up and dropping. Last season I'm sure Bautista would have been undrafted in most leagues when the season started, he had 52 HRs by the end of the season...
I drafted him last year. Saved my season after Youkilis and Pedroia were lost bats through injury. But I agree, got Aubrey Huff at one stage when someone dropped him, waivers are useful! Got Starlin Castro too after the all-star break who is a super young player, another RBI double tonight....

You would have been one of the few, I missed out on him in all leagues as I wasn't looking for power when he started getting hot. When I looked back, I saw he had finished the previous season on a hot streak. I hadn't done my research so that was very good draftingI drafted him last year.

Last season the major pickup that helped me win 2 leagues last was Posey, had a high waiver priority in both leagues and picked him up as soon as he entered the game and before he had his first at bat. He ended been one of the best producer in a not so deep position...
I wanted Castro this year but he was off the board by the time I wanted to fill SS. I had got him round 16 in another draft but no such luck in this draft 0 -

I was stuck in the later rounds last year needing power and having lived in Toronto a few years ago I knew first hand that he was useful. It was more of a case of a hitter I recognised at that stage rather than researching deep into the pool!
Same thing happened this year, stuck for big HR hitters after going for young/quick run and SB getters. I'll gauge progress after a few weeks and then probably chase someone for a trade! Very early to make a judgement on a team.0 -

So he did, threw alot of pitches for it, more than pitchers usually get to throw this early in the season...Complete game shut out from Dan Haren. He da man. In your face Henry Le Cheat.
One of my guys threw one last week and it really sets up your ERA and WHIP for the week. All my starting pitchers bombed last night so I'll have to go after Wins and Ks this week 0 -

Started well this week and now trail 6-4 to Coeus's team.
Come on the offence. Start hitting!
I figured early that my offence may not be enough this week so I brought in some power (Berkman) and it has paid off.
I still think it will be a tight battle over the weekend...
Pitching will probably be end up 3-2 or even 2.5-2.5. Looking at your starters, U'll hold ERA and WHIP, I'll probably hold K's cos I'll start everyone. I have an edge on saves since I have 5 closers. Wins could go either way as you have some good matchups, better than mine :-)
All the batting cats are there to be won, although I have a good advantage in RBIs as you have in SBs.0 -

Really though you would murder me this week. Still think you might.
Will be a coin toss on pitching as you say and Runs and HR could go either way.
I would have done with Roto or H2H but now am really happy with our choice. Very interesting and every day is important.
Head to head was deffo the way to go.
In our matchup 7 of the categories changed leader over the weekend. My pitching was stellar which allowed me to sweep the pitching categories. While you had great hitting, only Berkmans hot week stopped you from sweeping the hitting categories.
Someone just beat me into claiming to Sizemore off Waivers 0 -

Just been beaten (again) on a waiver claim for Konerko. Was looking for a replacement for the injured Cruz
I knew Isotopes might go after him but was hoping not as he was ahead of me on waiver priority. Fair play though you made a great pickup
I'll now have to reach into the bargain bin for power

I was nervous all weekend hoping the waiver would clear...I'm a really sad case :-)
Hopefully now he brings the hits and his wrist injury isn't anything serious...
One thing I will say though, the whole waiver process here really proves how great the priority system is in America Sports, like in drafts etc.
Allowing the lesser teams gain talent.0 -

Your other Cabrera is doing alright for a SS aswellmalachyscott wrote: »How is everyone getting on with their team after 8 completed weeks? For me, I think im doing okay. I lost Josh Hamilton and Chase Utley for a long time and got them both back last week. Also very happy to have Bautista and Granderson, those guys are on fire these last few weeks, making up for a slow fortnight by Miguel Cabrera standards! You have a great batting lineup now...
I'm happy enough, I'm in first That said Pujols slow start aint helping and my power has been on the wain for a couple of weeks. There aint much power help in the free agent pool so I have been trying to retool my team to improve my speed and BA.
Happing with my pitching, have made some great pickups (Jurrjens and Lohse) before they got noticed. That said Garcia's disaster at the weekend is worrying that unproven talent has its consequences sometimes. It cost me a win in ERA last week 0 -

Back playing 500 ball after some poor results.
This week I play the Golden Nuggets and it's high power offence. Here's hoping that my lot can keep up.
On a general note. Enjoying the league and the fact that nearly everyone is really active.
Yeah the league is going well I think . Lots of roster moves. Stattracker is a godsend! 0 -

Deffo, very useful for head-to-head matchups for obvious reasons. Can you believe you had to pay for it a couple of seasons ago when Yahoo first introduced it. Glad they made it free for all 0 -
