[Doug B]

If there are no other objections then I'll switch my pick to Joe DiMaggio

Cool, Google Doc updated

As is the front page.

 

[Kraft...]

Bonds really wasn't a turrible pick, early though

Been out on a school field trip with my daughter. Figured Kraft & his newfangled GoogleSheet had it covered

Where to? I recently went with my 4th graders class to the Harvard Museum of Natural History, one of the cooler ones I've chaperoned.

Here - site of the Battle of New Orleans. There were loads of recreational battle re-enactors on hand, camps and buildings set up to look like 1812, and several demonstration cannon barrages.

How did I miss that? Jesus.

I was really hoping Joss would fall, but I knew that was unlikely. So I'll take the other guy at the top of my board by a wide margin, and franchise/position scarcity be damned.

Lou Gehrig, 1B, New York Yankees

this is who i was all set to take when i got up this morning. just a monster season in 27.one of the reasons i took Brett instead was because i figured Gehrig would get snapped up within a pick or two, but someone (other than me) would get mad value on Brett. just didn't want Gehrig to fall to you, dadgumit.

Now you're sucking your own **** about Brett? Greatest pick in WIS history? Shall we go that far?

But definitely more awesome than Cooperstown. /shadyridr

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I was going to draft Brett but I didn't want to brag for three pages about how great I am, I do that on my Facebook all the time. So I took Gary Peters instead, he offers instant value without the need to look at myself in the mirror while talking about him.

 

[Doug B]

Coming into the second round ... don't forget to make your stadium picks alongside your player pick.

For those that need to research WIS ballparks, go here.

 

[oso diablo]

Hey, he got mad value!

not where i picked him

Which way did we decide on the one park per franchise?

 

[Doug B]

Which way did we decide on the one park per franchise?

Just sticking to the usual stadium plan. The rules in the OP are as follows:STADIUM DRAFT

e) Stadium draft picks will be made simultaneous with the second-round player picks.

f) Stadiums must have been in use at some point between 1903 and 1992, inclusive.

g) Stadiums must be unique in architecture (e.g once Enron Field is selected, Minute Maid Park is off the board).

1992 cutoff right?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If anyone is going for the blue dot tonight with your wife or significant/insignificant other...may I suggest a George Brett mask? You or her, or both will work well.

Yes -- lemme get that fixed ASAP.

 

[Doug B]

If anyone is going for the blue dot tonight ...

All right, I give up. Been seeing these blue, pink, & brown dots in guys' signatures. Where's the thread that explains it all? Apparently something to do with secks.

yeah, some guy was keeping track on a calendar, each color signifies a different act

well, in this case, that dot would be ROYAL blue!

OK. Pink and brown aren't hard to figure out. Took me a second on blew blue, though

I just emailed myself a picture of George Brett.

Simultaneous is simultaneous. When rules are clear and enforceable, who would I be to shirk them? Then again, if they are unclear and work-aroundable, damn straight Imma gonna hedge.

 

[RnR]

Hi. We still doing this?

 

[RnR]

I should get like 3 picks around this turn for having to wait so long. No way this draft pool is fair for us on the back end of the first round. Good grief.

So good, he had a team named after him. Don't see any "Chicago Three Fingers" or "New York Babes" in the annals of baseball history, do you?

 

[Bogart]

I can tell I'm going to have picking remorse after RnR finishes our turn. Had Nap typed in twice.

 

[Eephus]

Hans & Nap are a solid DP combination although the three finger gloves don't help them.

Big fan of the RnR approach here. He's the guy that looks for some tail at 1:50 am at the bar and takes two girls home.
