[Greco]

RP Brian Harvey, California AngelsAgain, sorry about the late pick, had stuff come up this afternoon (and coulda swore Henie was available)

I feel as though I've been validated.

It's a start

 

[Greco]

11.23 (263): RnR - 11.24 (264): Bogart - 12.1 (265): Bogart - 12.2 (266): RnR - 12.3 (267): Spartans Rule - 12.4 (268): Tremendous Upside - 12.5 (269): SoCalBroncoFan - 12.6 (270): Arsenal of Doom - 12.7 (271): jfranco77 - 12.8 (272): Frostillicus - 12.9 (273): eephus - 12.10 (274): Koya -

[the moops]

we should hold up for a bit and let bogart catch up. or we should make a couple picks for him

 

[Greco]

SS Joe SewellCF Max Carey2B Rogers Hornsby3B Darrell Evans1B Don MattinglyRF Mind BlowerCA Mickey CochraneLF Ceasar Cedeno.981 OPS and bad pitching. 56 wins projected.

 

[RnR]

we should hold up for a bit and let bogart catch up. or we should make a couple picks for him

I'm guessing the latter is probably the best solution. Can't imagine he's up for researching four picks at this moment.

 

[RnR]

11.23 - Gary Peters ("Taken", White Sox)

OBLIGATORY CARD

 

[Greco]

I'd pick for Bogart but I don't need any ihate

 

[Brady Marino]

11.23 - Gary Peters ("Taken", White Sox)

OBLIGATORY CARD

I could say something here, but I won't.

If I were commissioner, I'd stop the draft until tomorrow (or Monday) to let him catch up before going to plan B.Here's his team so far:Willie Mays - OF - GiantsJoe Wood - SP - Red SoxWillie Wilson - OF - RoyalsNolan Ryan - P - RangersRickey Henderson - of - AthleticsGary Carter - C - ExposFergie Jenkins - P - CubsBuddy Bell - 3B - Rangers

I'm thinking best 1B, 2B, SS, and SP available by Franco's rankings if we decide to make some moves for him.

No problem with someone else drafting for him in his absence.

 

[oso diablo]

Bogart was in the thread this morning. I figure if he wanted someone to pick for him, he would have said so by now.

 

[Koya]

Bogie doesnt seem the type to really mind if we did move on, especially considering the circumstance, which seems to me the exact reason why we should hold on and give him a chance to catch up. Especially considering the circumstance.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

AgreedNo hurry here

 

[Bogart]

Guys, please feel free to move on. I don't want to hold up the draft. If I need picks, I don't mind Oso or Greco or anyone else picking, but I don't mind doing it later myself. I plan on having a few hours to myself tomorrow where I can look at names. But please don't hold up on my account. Kthxbai.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

No rush, I say we slow draft a little more but not move on too much further until Bogart has a chance to catch up.

 

[Eephus]

If there was ever a time for nerds to relax, this is it.

I just want to go on record that if for some reason I'm in one of these and can't draft I would prefer you skip me than let Greco draft for me.

Afternoon on a balmy January day. Lazy AM with some nice French toast, bacon and sausage, repaid the wife for breakfast by driving around doing some errands and some me time cruise at 60 (degrees that is) and now a leisurely football game. Enjoying a redone living room / den and some drinks.All that relaxation to come to a crashing halt of calm when the Ravens kick off and I begin screaming obscenities at the screen.

 

[Bogart]

Settled down with a double Crown and Coke, NFC game in the background, ready to play catchup and get some picks in.Thanks to everyone's kindness over the weekend, both offering up to draft and willing to slow things down.
