WIS 2012: Back to the Future II - Draft and Season Thread (4 Viewers)

[rodg12]

On phone can someone pm cheese?

Tried to, but it said he can't receive any messages. Anybody know how to get ahold of him otherwise?

 

[cheese]

I'm around but tied up. Will pick in 15.

 

[the moops]

Fenway available?

 

[scoobus]

Screw it, I'm taking the gamble that his suspension is overturned:

2.07 - Ryan Braun - OF

And if's it's not, I will gladly take 112 games of what he did last year. I can work with his rest to make it work. No risk, no reward.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figured I would be reaching in the third (and was considering waiting for the 4th)...

I was really thinking I'd take him at 3.06 if he was there. I figure that he will get 400-450 PA, and I should be able to find a decent platoon partner for him in the next 42 rounds.

Still not helping. That just says I took him 23 picks too early.Interesting that the person that I almost took in the first instead of Kinsler, and the person that I had typed in for 5 minutes before picking Braun is still out there. Maybe I still don't know how to play this game at all.

Good chance I would've taken him at 2.21

 

[rodg12]

Fenway available?

Yep.

 

[cheese]

Ok I will take Mark Teixera

Great American

 

[Sammy3469]

I think I'm up

C Buster Posey

I have no clue what's available in the stadium draft...Minute Maid Park?

You have Haren and Greinke flip flopped here.

 

[Bogart]

Ok I will take Mark TeixeraGreat American

Teixeira is far from being a great American.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Josh "Hambone" Hamilton

 

[oso diablo]

lot of risk in this second round

 

[Bogart]

2.15 Hanley Ramirez 3B/SSTurner Field

This is who I was thinking at 1.18 and 2.07.

 

[Northern Voice]

lot of risk in this second round

Sorry checking in from phone, I'm going full homer mode here, Brett Lawrie, 3B

 

[scoobus]

2.21 Adrian Beltre

I'll take a repeat of last year.

 

[RnR]

lol....

 

[larry_boy_44]

I'm up?

i said 2nd round, not 22nd round

 

[RnR]

I'm up?

Yes.

 

[larry_boy_44]

Pac Bell Park

pick coming in a second...

 

[larry_boy_44]

SS Starlin Castro

well, at least I can assume I won't need 4 different guys to play time at SS this season, huh?

 

[RnR]

2.23 - Brian McCann (CA)

CARD

 

[oso diablo]

SS Starlin Castrowell, at least I can assume I won't need 4 different guys to play time at SS this season, huh?

i wonder if all or many of us are fighting the last war, so to speak. My first two picks (SP Cliff Lee and CF McCutchen) are directly related to the two components my team most lacked last season: an ace at the top of the rotation and someone who could patrol centerfield.

 

[scoobus]

Tropicana Field

I kind of have the same strategy, its just playing out differently...I also didn't want Miller Park/County Stadium... I always have that park and I wanted to try something different...

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Am I up in stadium draft?

Can't find the stadium picks anywhere

I've definitely noticed this with teams

 

[RnR]

PM'ed Phoenix, sounds like he may have quit.

 

[larry_boy_44]

free for all at this point since picks should have been made with a 2nd rounder and everyone but the last person has picked....

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Oh, it was with the 2nd rounder? Didn't see that...

Is there a list of the parks that have been picked?

 

[boubucarow]

The shorthand list I was keeping. I am not 100% it covers all the picks.

Who can take my 3.02 pick? I have to leave.

 

[cheese]

Who can take my 3.02 pick? I have to leave.

If I can post it at 4 when he times out send to me. If we're giving him more time than that I'll be stuck in the commute.

 

[larry_boy_44]

I'm here, I can take it...

 

[RnR]

Sent to Lolly. That way he can make his pick afterwards.

 

[jfranco77]

Well, I guess I might as well take the stadium where I won 112 games last year

Chase Field, Phoenix AZ
