2014 Cakeleeg Draft - Pay up, SoCalBroncoFan (1 Viewer)

[General Malaise]

Pickles, you got Oswald's list?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

One sec

 

[Mr. Pickles]

shuke wants Tyson Ross.

This is a good pick.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

19.08 - Dan Uggla - 2B (Atl)

I'm hoping that Uggla's offseason LASIK surgery can help boost his batting average above the Mendoza line. If that happens, his OBP could actually be somewhat respectable with his 14% walk rate.

You mean the Lasik he had during the season last year and batted like .100 following?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

shuke wants Tyson Ross.

This is a good pick.

A guy who throws the slider 34% of the time with a below average fastball and no third pitch, I'm sure he'll be fine.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Yeah, shuke. What the hell were you thinking?

For the record, Uggla batted .133 after his LASIK surgery in August last year.

 

[RnR]

Uggla was one of my better picks in this thing last year, IMO.

 

[cheese]

Carlos Martinez, some kind of pitcher

 

[General Malaise]

Can we just give X the best available Met?

Sounds good to me for the 300th player off the board

Just making sure so I can list my future winnings as an asset.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I'm updating the second post but not the Google Doc of late. Anyone can update the latter. Please help.

You realize I'm holding the money, right? For now, these assets are sweating in a nice uranium portfolio.

Also, there's been no payment of late. Deadbeats last week are deadbeats today.

 

[shuke]

What's the holdup here?

 

[FDAS]

20.02 Danny Farquhar - Hoping Rodney Implodes - SEA

 

[cheese]

Nate Eovaldi Sp

 

[shuke]

Probably homering myself to last place here

20.05 Devin Mesoraco, C

 

[cheese]

Probably homering myself to last place here

20.05 Devin Mesoraco, C

He should have a solid year. I pretty much hate 8th batters in NL lineups because they are never allowed to do much. If they would move him even 1 spot up it would help for fantasy IMO.

Way to draft some players, GM.

 

[John Bender]

20.02 Danny Farquhar - Hoping Rodney Implodes - SEA

Great pick IMO

 

[FDAS]

20.02 Danny Farquhar - Hoping Rodney Implodes - SEA

Great pick IMO

Would've been better at 20.07, imo

 

[General Malaise]

outside of Jansen, I don't have any closers, so if you haven't handcuffed yours yet, I'd be wary.

 

[cheese]

FDAS --> post in the bracket draft thread. You running it this year or Derek?

We need to confirm ppl early so we have plenty of time to boot them and get yelled at when they vanish.

Explain this bracket draft thing to me like I'm GM.

Pick teams. Seed X rd =payout from each guy. Only actually pay the differences once tourney is over. Some ppl get killed. Draft has to be done in 3 days due to turnaround of selection Sunday to tourney. Most of the normal league is drunks and whatever the hell you call Brong/SLBD so that gets interesting. Usually Derek and/or FDAS holds our hands to make it happen.
