No. But I think we all know that if he's there when SCBF is up, he's taking him.

I'm considering it "his list".

I take it the Nichols pick isn't popular. I'm not sure how much name dropping is allowed with the spread out years, but I think we all know the guy in question is. Oh well, I'll have to face him along with 22 of the rest of you. Good luck everyone.

I was surprised. We'll see how it plays out...
If you're thinking you could pass on Ruth in the first and then still pick him up with your second rounder because SCBF has already locked in someone else assuming you were going to take him..... well this type of scenario is exactly why skipping too many picks is a bad idea.

I went back and forth. I couldn't rationalize taking a lessor player in 1897 to block the chance of someone getting a monster year. However, if it was someone else in my spot, I wish they would have done it too.

I guess I think there is a better player out there. That's what I was surprised about. Wasn't expecting Kid here.

Yeah, 1950 kinda blows... I would have picked Teddy Ballgame if he was there. I figure of all the dreck, Yogi is the closest to elite at his position.
get it?

I'll be away on business all week and have limited internet access during the days. I have a list for each of my 4 years thay I may have to pass on to people. Greco, since you'll be around all week and our years are pretty far apart, I may just send the lists to you.

Something that just occured to me... would it be illegal/unethical to make deals with other drafters regarding who they pick?
For example, can I offer someone a move up later in the draft if they agree not to draft Joe Blow 2008 in the first round so that I can draft Joe Blow 2007 in the second round?
I actually don't think I need/want to do this right now, but the thought crossed my mind as I was weighing some of my draft options.

I don't have to worry about ending up with some ####ty shortstop.
1.14 Ernie Banks, SS (1959)

We would've taken him at 1.18 in 1960 but were pretty sure he'd go here. Tying up a home run hitter at SS who can also field is pretty sweet.

Surprised me somewhat, but in the end, probably the right move.

Actually, after that Banks pick, I definitely want to do this. Need a ruling here.
anyone have the bogart phone?

Doesn't feel right.
I thought about making this offer to someone else, but it smells fishy to me. Plus what is to stop someone once the trade is consummated from picking the player in question anyway?
Spartans Rule
Footballguy
Well, the thing is, it would have to be officially cleared through the commissioner so people can't renege, which is why I need a ruling.I'd be making the offer to you, so if you're against it in principle, it's not happening. I would definitely make it worth your while though.
not sure i like this

Yeah, I know, it's one of those "If you have to ask, the answer is no" type of things.Unfortunately it's really the only chance I have to field a competitive team with the rolls I got, so I had to at least ask.
I don't think I'd have agreed to it anyway, so don't worry too much.
guy is good

Well that's the thing... it's you not agreeing to it, taking my guy, and my team losing 115 games that worries me.
Well, it's only five rounds in. There are still a lot of years out there that haven't been rolled yet so we'll see. I do agree you were quite unfortunate in your first five rolls though.
