This is your chance to prove me wrong. Just remember, you're picking twice IN A ROW.

the turn is the best place for a draftkiller. (not saying SCBF is one necessarily; i agree that he's much improved over those early days)

 

[larry_boy_44]

I have the third pick? ugh... I don't thing I like that...

Trade?

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

I'm so glad I don't have the first pick in this draft. I'd take Tulowitzki without hesitation, thus guaranteeing a season-ending injury that would destroy both my real and pretend seasons.

He worked out pretty well at #1 last year.

Oh goody, I am on the turn.

Ugh.

Time for a StomachPunch?

Worst draftkiller and it's not even close.

Seriously? I think this has not been the case for awhile....have you met Larry?

This is your chance to prove me wrong. Just remember, you're picking twice IN A ROW.

Look at it this way, I can only time out once every two rounds.....

Doug is on a plane to Arizona to scout Jason Kendall's chances in 2012.

Son of a #####. I just knew that 204 would put me near the turn. At this rate I will be right in the middle.

Put your glasses on, old timer, and look at that list reeeeeeeally closely and you'll see RnR's shenanigans and tomfoolery at work.

Lets do this. Didn't we pick stadiums with our 2nd pick last time?

 

[Brady Marino]

Are we :confirmed: starting the draft immediately, because I'm ready to roll.

 

[Brady Marino]

BTW, I know this is kind of late, but could we do a Yahoo Roto league with this draft as well? Would mostly be just for fun, but it'd be interesting to see how these rosters would do in rotisserie.

same as last year? i thought that was a fantastic addition.

We did it last year on fantrax.

 

[oso diablo]

kinda glad i'm not picking early. know who i would take at #1, but after that, it's a muddled mess in my head.

Wasn't in last year's edition, so I don't know how it was handled. If so, is Fantrax still going to be the choice?

 

[Eephus]

I think Tre said Fantrax free edition wouldn't handle our roster sizes

Is there some reason why Phoenix isn't picking

 

[RnR]

Is there some reason why Phoenix isn't picking

Maybe he quit.

 

[Brady Marino]

Ok, I guess this thing is live then.

1.01- 3B Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tiggers

Could have gone with a couple position scarcity options, but you can't deny Cabrera's pure hitting ability as well as durability. Yeah, you can say I chickened out, but with Cabrera being able to play 3B, this was a no-brainer, IMO.

 

[cheese]

Last year RnR went P/P and got stuck with Adam Dunn/Kelly Johnson as his first 2 hitters. Will he stick with that plan picking so early in the draft?

FWIW, last year's first pitcher went #5.

 

[RnR]

1.02 - Troy Tulowitzki (SS)

[jfranco77]

That was me picking Felix. I can't complain about it as he gave me 250 good innings, but he wasn't his usual Cy Young self. Last year I only had 1 bad pick in the top 7 or so - Brett Anderson who blew out his elbow after 80 decent innings. Still working on my research and not sure who I'd take at #6 this year yet.

 

[oso diablo]

we'll see if he can handle 3B.solid pick, though. quite the masher.

 

[Brady Marino]

He's supposedly dropped 20-30 pounds...which I realize still makes him fat, but we'll see. Maybe he'll be motivated to play well there with Prince in town.

His WIS fielding range will take a hit if he's lifted frequently for a defensive replacement in real-life

As long as he can get a glove on the balls he gets to, he'll hit enough to make his defense digestable.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I renewed the league and it looks like we might be ok. They sure didn't like it when I tried this with basketball.

 

[Doug B]

His WIS fielding range will take a hit if he's lifted frequently for a defensive replacement in real-life

How exactly is this calculated by the sim masters? I mean, let's say Cabrera is lifted a lot but while's out there, he's lights out defensively. Why should his WIS defensive rating suffer?

WIS uses RF/G (range factor per game) and not RF/9 (per 9 innings), so if he is only playing 6 innings a game, his RF/G is going to suck.

I'm not going to like drafting next to Larry am I?

 

[cheese]

I'm not going to like drafting next to Larry am I?

That all depends on how strict we are with timeouts. If you get to pick 4th with 2 players off the board, it might be worth the delays.In related news, I can take lists during weekdays.

rooting for him to succeed. and he would be my top pick in a regular fantasy draft (where defense doesn't count)

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Someone buy Lolly a burner so we can text him.
