Moops is autoskipped.The previous pick was made two minutes before the clock went off.

jfranco77 OTC to xx58

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Going to use '99 Quilvio Veras as a placeholder for Nishioka in WIS.

Projected Lineup:

1. Angel Pagan - LF

2. Daric Barton - 1B

3. Troy Tulowitzki - SS

4.

5. Chris Young - CF

6. Mark Reynolds - 3B

7.

8. Tsuyoshi Nishioka - 2B

Projected Rotaton:

1. Dan Haren RHP

2. Tommy Hanson RHP

3. Wandy Rodriguez LHP

4.

5.

Getting there. I took a couple of shots with Reynolds and Nishioka, could be good, could be horrible.

 

[RnR]

Projected Lineup:

Holding this spot for a super-duper sleeper?

Agreed. There's still more than a handful of clean-up hitters out there. I'm holding off on assigning batting order slots because I'm afraid I'll end up with too many of them.

 

[Eephus]

9.06 Grady Sizemore, DL

I wouldn't draft him in a normal league but I think some of his downside risk is mitigated in this format. I won't have to guess when he's going to sit out a game. I'll know how many PAs I can get from him before starting the sim. The large rosters and a relatively deep position should provide enough PA padding to make this work....unless he totally sucks.

 

[Eephus]

Scoobus OTC to 5:01 PST

The clock is off after that.

9 . 13 ( 205 ) ChemX….

Moops has two make up picks, jfranco77 has one

I'm looking for feedback regarding the switch to a 30 minute clock starting Thursday morning

 

[rodg12]

my list was actually Peavy, Pavano, Zimmerman... but I'm ok with how it turned out, Peavy was the only one I would have been super disappointed if he got sniped...

I took Peavy first. Pavano was taken by Sammy (by TU proxy) between your picks. Then I took Zimmerman.

That could be a decent staff considering you punted until pick #142

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

30 mins works for me...I know how to leave a list.

 

[rodg12]

I'm game for a 30 min clock.

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

30 Minutes is good by me.

I was commenting on what I sent you... You did 100% exactly what i asked...it was more a "good pick on Pavano, you sniped me" comment than anything and a statement that Peavy was BY FAR #1 on the list I left you...Sorry for the confusion...

[belljr]

9.8 Placido Polanco 3B

 

[Spartans Rule]

30 minutes is fine by me. Skips aren't really painful at this point with so many good players left.

 

[Greco]

30 is cool by me. I'll finish last with any clock.

 

[the moops]

damn. I got sick today and napped for the past few hours. that will teach me. Lind, lee, zimmermann, Sizemore were all on my list. I need about 20 mins and I'll pick. on the road right now

 

[the moops]

On the phone here.

Bobby Abreu - OF

Jed Lowrie - 2B/SS/3B

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

9.09 Chipper Jones 3B

He might only get 300 at bats, but he looks good so far this spring and he always has a good OBP.

WIS MMXI: Back to the Future Edition

2 . 22 LB_44…. Victor Martinez C <---lot of DH and 1B for Vic I think...we'll see.

3 . 03 LB_44…. Rickie Weeks P <--typo

4 . 14 Greco…. Martin Prado 2B<--Uggla there, going to be LFer until Chipper dies again.

5 . 18 Bogart… Michael Young 3B <--Doubt he gets much 3B time at all. 1B/DH?

6 . 17 belljr… Chone Figgins 2B <--Going back to 3B

A list of players that I doubt will be much use at the positions listed on page 1. This doesn't account for guys like Berkman that will be hurt in the first month of the year.

Victor is supposed to catch 2-3 times a week for the Tigers. He'll do enough to get a rating there, albeit a poor one most likely.

 

[jfranco77]

Grady is a good pick. He is a bad risk for roto because he may not steal, but he could still hit 25 HRs.

I may end up hating this pick but he's the best guy on my board by a lot, so I'll take him even though he's not really a need.

what I've read about Martinez is he's the backup C (1-2 games/week) and play DH in the majority of the rest of the games...I picked him 'cuz he'll be one of the best hitting catchers and he'll likely end up with the most PAs out of any Catchers in the league...

If that happens his defense will be BRUTAL in this. Not that it already wasn't going to be very bad since he's a terrible catcher.

truthfully, I have a feeling everyone is going to have horrible defense compared to what we're used to in this...

Thanks, I made the corrections on my spreadsheet and will copy them up to the OP tomorrow. I left Martinez, Prado and Young since I suspect they'll gain eligibility at some point during the season, even if their defensive ratings are poor.

 

[RnR]

This doesn't account for guys like Berkman that will be hurt in the first month of the year.

I'm guessing you don't like that pick. Given the Cardinals' luck so far this season, I wouldn't doubt it if you were right.
