WIS MMXI: Back to the Future Edition- Draft & Season Thread (3 Viewers)

[RnR]

Make-up 22.04- Jeff Keppinger (2B/SS)

Modestly Mediocre

Let's see if we can get enough PA's at a .350 OBP to make him a serviceable back-up middle infielder.

22 . 09 ( 513 ) SNC......

 

[Spartans Rule]

22.5 Mat Gamel, 3B

Some offensive upside at a position where I'm weak. I'm hoping maybe he gets enough useful PA to be the small half of a platoon with Freese.

 

[cheese]

Assuming he's still available...

makeup 21.10 Dominic Brown OF

 

[boubucarow]

22.6 Michael Wuertz, P

 

[Bogart]

22.07 - Bogart - Nelson Figueroa - SP/RP

I think he should provide some decent long relief/mop up innings. I think I will begin to stop coming up with things to say after each one of my picks.

 

[Northern Voice]

22.08 - Brett Wallace, 1B

 

[Tremendous Upside]

19.23 Jake Fox - baltimore

Will be making my updated picks throughout the day

SNC Skip

Doug B OTC to xx00

22 . 03 ( 507 ) HoosFirst Mike Fontenot 2B PROXY Greco

 

[Bogart]

13 plus rounds to go. 320+ more players to pick. If this were a 12 team league, we would just be STARTING a 25 round draft.

My spreadsheet has the following left:

4 1B

2 2B

5 3B

3 SS

4 CA

4 DH

11 OF

11 SP

10 RP

Thankfully I think I am about done taking bats and just printed off a pitcher sheet with 240+ pitchers. My goal going forward is to simply make picks that have not already been made.

Deepest. #######. Draft. Ever.

21.23 Chris Davis, K Machine

 

[Northern Voice]

The combination of where we are in the draft and where we are in spring training almost makes it beneficial to wait on every pick now...

Unless he's saying you should have a pick in reserve for an injury replacement. I don't think it much matters though since we're already into the injury replacements.

You have two more coming

LH hitter off the bench. Hopefully he gives me some pop and good OBP.

 

[Eephus]

Greco picks Pat Burrell OF via text

Cheese OTC to xx55

 

[Chemical X]

22.12 makeup - bobby scales, util, cubs

i love 33 year old rookies, but a guy that gets on base like him would seem to find a way to get some ABs on the Cubs, no?

 

[Eephus]

518 picks completed out of 840 (61.67%)

No outstanding skips

OP updated

 

[Bogart]

21.23 Chris Davis, K Machine

I just cussed out loud for being sniped in the 21st round.

Davis is having a monster spring (0.410/0.429/0.872, 4HR) but doesn't have a place to play. Moreland is at first, Beltre is at third, Young is the backup, and Davis can't catch or really play the OF. I think he gets traded before Opening Day and ends up playing significantly at one of the corners for a lowly team. No pressure on him, he will hit well. The glove is outstanding at first and better than reported at third.

I had him on my list, but crossed him out for some reason. Would have much preferred him over Lyle ####### Overbay.

So ... what are the details of the weekend clock?

Weekend clock rules for Mar 18-20:Four hour daytime inactivity timeout

Saturday & Sunday 9AM - 9PM EST (unless otherwise specified in post #3)

Just like on weekdays, if you are on the clock as of 9PM the clock will continue to run until the four hour limit or your pick (whichever comes first)

No overnight clock rollover. For example, if you go on the clock at 6PM, you'll timeout at 10PM and not the following morning.

Autoskip if you have any outstanding skips
