I am okay with the weekend clock.

I think there's still quite a bit of sniping going on. All the guys who I shortlisted last night for my 10/11 picks are gone.If the current pace is sustainable, we'll be done before opening day. If interest drops off in the later rounds and we get overrun with skips, we'll move to two-a-days or three-a-days.

so wanted to pull the trigger on him at the turn, but still scarred from last two years of this guy killing me in my NL roto league.

No. Tradition has it that going off daytime clock stops multiple skips from happening. This may be another rule worth suspending when we enter the irrelevant rounds

i wish there was some feasible way to do a "chess clock" in these drafts. you get some amount of accumulated wait time for the whole draft, still with the normal 1-hour limit per pick. But once you reach that accumulated limit, you are on autoskip for the rest of the draft.

With waiting so long on pitching, I am going to have to go high risk/high reward on occasion. Webb fits that perfectly.

my 11.13 makeup is Michael Pineda, P, Sea
Chemical X
Footballguy
my 12.12 is Michael Brantley, OF, Cleve
was a B/B last year and was an OBP guy in teh minors. I need someone to get between crawfish and heyward in teh OF.
At this point, lineup might be:
Brantley - CF
Crawfish - LF
Heyward - RF
Fielder - 1B
Alvarez - 3B
Peralta - SS
J. Lopez - 2B
Catcher
Myers
Gio Gonzalez
Dempster
Happ
Pineda
need some things to break the right way, but I think I can score enough to offset no top pitching. Lineup is very left handed, so I'll need to get some righty swinging bench guys. If Lopez or Peralta has a functional year, I could move them to 5 against lefties.
Could use another SP/Long man in case of injury.
I dont think this is turrible.

I'm OK having 4 right now, I figure that if I can get 5 (or even if I can't) and then get one of the guys who emerges from nowhere like Garcia, Romero, etc last year I'll be OK.

Since others are posting lineups, I'll throw mine out there for now. Someone that has a clue should go through and rank the teams so far.
1. Brian Roberts 2b
2. Kevin Youkilis 3b
3. Carlos Gonzalez LF
4. Jay Bruce RF
5. Justin Smoak 1b
6. BJ Upton CF (could theoretically leadoff if his OBP surprises me or days where Roberts is serving his DL sentence)
7. Some crappy catcher
8. Jason Bartlett SS
SPs
1. James Shields
2. Javier Vasquez
3. John Lackey
4. Mark Buehrle

I feel no confidence on the order of my lineup or pitching staff. I am hoping that Ike Davis hits enough to hit in the middle of this lineup and Ellsbury hits enough to move down in the order to give me more balance. Of course, Rolen's health is huge. My defense will be top notch aside from that error fest at short I hope doesn't happen this year. The pitchers are contact guys. Gregerson should be a fine closer.

sounds like a good plan for the supplemental draft

ship it.

Not sure I follow that line of thinking. When you draft a guy that has thrown 200 MLB innings in a season, it will be the first on your staff. Everyone, pitching rich included, will be gunning for the next Garcia or Romero with upcoming draft picks. It's a bit of a crap shoot, and there's certainly no guarantee anyone lands that caliber of a season. And exactly how successful is a 2010 Garcia/Romero? Those are probably middle of the rotation options. Rarely will a true #1 emerge from the scrap heap.
jfranco77
Footballguy
I agree completely. I have Felix/Floyd/Anderson as my top 3. I'm very happy if I have 150 innings of mid-level starter innings from my 20th round pick. But I wouldn't want to be planning to build a whole rotation of those guys.
