Does Anyone want to do a Draft and Hold League?

Aug 4 Robinson Cano 2B-NYM
Cano (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a Grade 2 left adductor strain, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis:The veteran infielder exited Monday's contest with left groin tightness, and it remains unclear how much time he'll be spending on the shelf. Brian Dozier is starting at second base Tuesday and figures to see regular time there while Cano is sidelined, especially with Jeff McNeil (back) and Amed Rosario (quadriceps) also battling injuries.

And with that, I'm officially out of 2B, unless we discover that Kolten Wong is lucky enough to be among the uninfected when the Cardinals start up play again this weekend.

Ahhhh, April, when I was naive and hopeful enough to think that three second basemen would at least be enough to carry me for more than two weeks of the season.

We shoulda drafted 75 man rosters if we wanted to make it through this season.

My best power hitter? Max Muncy, of course.

In previous years I have always looked at matchups and metrics to select a pitching staff. This week, I had a very simple decision tree to follow.

1. Are you healthy? If no, you are benched; if yes, move to Question 2.
2. Are you currently on a big league roster? If no, you are benched; if yes, move to Question 3.
3. Is your name Vince Velasquez? If yes, you are benched; if no, congratulations, you are on the starting staff.

Lineups lock five minutes before the start of the first game, right?

Yes

Thats the same in all 3 HR leagues that we did this yr. Makes things easier

Yes it does Rich

Just like rounds 2 and 3 averaged 8.2 million viewers across ABC, ESPN, NFL NETWORK, ESPN Deportes, & Digital.

That's up 40% from 2019

[RJM713]

15.6 Million across the 3 networks - ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network

up 37%

Last year 11.1 Million

Last night was a record by the way. So id say everyone is very happy

Previous highest 2014 draft - Manziel draft

Lar',

Doesn't that figure include ESPN Desportes and any streaming platforms?

[Doc1966]

I'm up for another draft - 5X5 works for me if Fantrax can only do points.

[circle360]

I'm no ratings expert, but I'd be amazed if tonight's NFL Round 1 doesn't get more eyeballs than Game 7 of the 2019 World Series.

I dont think it will go that high. But it could possibly be in the ballpark. 20 - 22 million?

2019 game 7 had 23+ million viewers

Last years day one of the draft did 11 million

15.6 Million across the 3 networks - ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network

up 37%

Last year 11.1 Million

I vote that we 'nudge' OT on the flight over

[RJM713]

In lieu of drafting yet another league, might I suggest we all fly over to jolly Ole' England and enter into this must-see, bucket list event:

We can all submit two names who we'd most like to give a "head start nudge" to, in order to let them get the lay of the land, so to speak. Thoughts?

[Kiwijohn]

I am in for whatever is decided..

[Cigar]

Man, besides this one, I did two for Todd Zola and my H2H league drafted. So I've done four with three more to go. That may be enough for me.

But it was fun, and in fact, it was the most enjoyable draft I've ever had. So ask me in a few days!

You're gonna play, OT. You're gonna play, OT. ......................
