I hope by the end of the season I'm not regretting this pick as much as I do now. SS is just a freaking cesspool. Ugh.

Clayton Richard

I will pick in a minute. When I left my computer I thought as long as I get one of either Richard or Cecil I'll be happy.

I think everybody has at least one rotation spot to fill, even the people who've drafted five SPs.WIS rule of thumb is you need to draft a minimum of 900 IP from your SPs. That's 180 IP per arm. Chances are one of the five will either get hurt or underperform.I have five SPs and I'm still looking for more.

Derrick Lowe, SP
Hope for some consistency and maybe a little lower OAV

Exactly, which is why I feel bad for the guys that are only 2 or 3 SP deep. Yikes.
Doug B
Footballguy
Cecil looks like the kind of young starter that's primed to make a step up. Based on what knowledge I can pick up on the fly, I gotta feel good with him as my team's fourth SP.
RnR
Footballguy
That wasn't directed at anyone in general, just a general observation that I think waiting on pitching is a risky proposition, because even the guys who drafted pitching early are going to be hawking insurance policies.
Eephus
Footballguy
Except for SCBF who drafted three top-shelf SPs and hasn't picked another since 3.09. It was an interesting strategy at the time to go SP-SP-SP and has only grown moreso.
Sammy3469
Footballguy
I don't know about that...you can get by with as little as 750 (800 is definitely doable)...though generally the worse your SP are, the more IPs you need.The catch is you need to ration the IPs so can get enough starts out of them. With the past sims you could juggle that since guys had more than 32-33 starts. You can't really do that that much this time since you will need 5 guys to make all the starts. Maybe if you have 4 guys that end up with 220+ you can get by with 4, but ship has sailed for SCDC

Interesting, but I'm guessing he erred in not taking an #4 SP IP eater a round or two ago. Well see though.

11.20 Mike Napoli, C
Hoping for a lot of PAs and a non-awful defensive rating. Probably won't get either, but the OPS should still be nice.

Almost went this direction last rd, but decided I'd spent too much energy on my defense to draft a D catcher and throw that away. His OPS has to be value at this point though. I think he should get the PA's even if he has to get some from 1b and DH.
Bogart
Footballguy
If Young gets traded, I think this becomes amazing value. But I have a feeling Young isn't going anywhere.

11.21- Johan Santana (SP)
Another Santana that looks very excited to be on my team.
We'll see what I get here. Feels worth the gamble right about now. As long as the IP/G is good, he'll probably be a dominate partial SP.

Lineup:
1. Suzuki - RF
2. Young - 3B
3. Hamilton - CF
4. Cruz - LF
5. Pena - 1B
6. Hill - 2B
7. Catcher
8. Andrus - SS
9. Pitcher
Depending on how Andrus hits, I could see him moving up to leadoff or second and everyone moving down one spot. The power potential from Pena and Hill at the bottom of the lineup makes me not worry about the possible BA issues. This lineup should score some runs. Cruz breaks out into an MVP type season this year.
Rotation:
1. Jurrjens
2. Wolf
3. Davis
4. Porcello
Not exciting names, but guys that should be very solid and eat up innings. Pitching is always a crapshoot and I can see someone not even drafted yet leading the rotation.

It was between him and Cecil. Was kinda hoping to snag Johan later.

Gauging interest in a weekend clock. It wouldn't be anything like a half hour; I'm thinking six hour clock during normal daytime (9AM-6PM) hours. It would keep one person from killing the entire weekend.
Thoughts?

I vote yes.

We've done 27 picks so far today, not counting ChemX's one skip. A round-plus per day is a pretty strong pace ... a shorter clock doesn't change things much.In some Tim Drafts, we've experimented with 15-min clocks. All that really happens is that 2/3 of the draft goes on auto-skip and the same 4 or 5 people make 4 or 5 picks per day. The number of picks per day doesn't really change a lot by lowering the clock down from 60 to 30 minutes.
From 4 hours to 1 hour, yes ... that way, one person can't stall the draft for half a day.
Bogart
Footballguy
Sure, works for me. Or we could do 3ITC like they do in all the other drafts.
