Lanier is a "what could have been"... broke contract and jumped to Mexico, then was suspended for 5 year because of it, was reinstated before the full suspension, but still lost some time.

I sense a theme going on with one of our teams.

 

[NJDevs26]

I'll add a little more to the writeups when I'm not on mobile

 

[NJDevs26]

Key was a good pick, I was considering him for my #2. Ordonez for some reason even guys like me who saw him play and his numbers forget about him.

btw if any of you still need to vote for the main playoffs, the deadline's tomorrow so get the votes in today if you haven't.

Olerud seems slightly out of place on Wrig's teams... one of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong

haha...I was thinking the same.

Last year I had Tettleton and Lolich between the 2 drafts. I was going to pm, but had to take Sean Patrick to school and 2 RPs had been taken by the time I got back.

Leon Day and Bullet Rogan are great adds.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Leon Day and Bullet Rogan are great adds.

Thanks. We're now on an 8 hour clock for the rest of the draft.

 

[bluesfan94]

Interesting that RPs are going so much earlier.

Interesting that RPs are going so much earlier.

In terms of relievers, considering we're starting with like the 85th ranked guy - not counting long relievers - there are fewer reliable ones people want as their closer (and obviously fewer reliable LH ones), although Street and probably other guys taken so far could easily have gone in the main draft.

In terms of strategy we're being a little more liberal for the AAA all-time league and just doing our own thing for the most part (I used a list for the main draft, I don't have it here, I'm more just winging it and doing random player/stat searches), especially considering there's only six teams. Wrigley has a heavy Negro Leagues feel, Vegata's double dutch pick was awesome I didn't even realize there was two Dutch Leonards.

I'm sort of trying to win but I'm also trying to just pick players I want and also kind of trying to find overlooked guys who maybe should be a part of the main draft going forward and make the case for them and read others' case for their picks.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

If a GM's clock expires, go ahead and pick.

 

[td_ice]

If a GM's clock expires, go ahead and pick.

Ok, I will go ahead and pick soon.

 

[Winger for Hire]

By drafting Bobby Bo, does Wrigs now take on the payments that the Mets have to make annually?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I pmed Tecumseh since when you're skipped, you're skipped until you make a pick.

 

[td_ice]

Sorry if I picked out of turn, got a pm saying I was up.

You can delete my pick.

 

[td_ice]

I deleted my pick.


It would help, if possible, if not no biggie, if we could number our picks. I think that might help eliminate any confusion when picks are skipped.

 

[bluesfan94]

That picture of Valverde makes him look very constipated

I like to find ridiculous pictures of the players

Okay, we can number our picks. td_ice, pm me a copy of the numbered picks for rounds 7-26 and I'll insert them.

No, I mean for each person to post the number when they pick.

 

[td_ice]

Love the Dykstra and Rosen picks.


I will be picking soon.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Love the Dykstra and Rosen picks...

Thanks. Apparently Moisés Alou is a martial artist!

 

[Winger for Hire]

Love the Oswalt pick. Almost grabbed him over Reyes. Leadoff hitter trumped #4 starter though.

 

[Tecumseh]

Love the Oswalt pick. Almost grabbed him over Reyes. Leadoff hitter trumped #4 starter though.

Well, he's my #3 and I also needed a right handed starting pitcher. Even this deep into the draft, we're still seeing players who would be undoubtedly drafted in an 18- or 20-team ATD.
