WIS MMXI: Back to the Future Edition- Draft & Season Thread (26 Viewers)

[boubucarow]

How many guys that are starting the season in AAA did you all end up with?

I have 5 batters (of 22) and 4 pitchers (of 18) starting the 2011 season in AAA. On top of that, I have one free-agent 1B (Troy Glaus) and one all-but-retired RP (Billy Wagner). That leaves me with 16 batters and 13 pitchers, so far, that will actually be on MLB rosters on Opening Day.

Bumped and edited. Still curious about other WIS 2011 teams' situations with this.

So far, I believe I am sitting on 4 minor leaguers but all were expected.

[Spartans Rule]

I got 4 minor leaguers - Gamel, Meija, E. Cabrera, Revere.

Didn't really take a lot of gambles. I wanted guys who will play. Maybe variance will make their PA or IP have some value.

 

[boubucarow]

Last Pick

Marcos Mateo, P

 

[scoobus]

So to be clear, these picks aren't due until tomorrow night, yes?

Also, how the hell are you guys researching players at this point, I don't even know where to look

 

[larry_boy_44]

I'm gonna.... find someone to pick tonight lol...

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

40.5 Nate Adcock, RP

Adcock? Manship? I wouldn't wear a game worn jersey from either one of them.

As a Twins fan, I really enjoy saying MAN-SHIP in as low a voice as possible when he comes in. I wish he threw harder though. With a name like MANSHIP, he should be bringing upper 90s heat.

Wait, you guys are drafting guys that actually play in the major leagues?

Well, he has played in the major leagues. He's starting in AAA this year. He's pretty mediocre...but MAN-SHIP!

He made the Twins according to the news reports I looked at before I illegally attempted to draft him.

Yeah, looks like you're right - Mijares is hitting the DL, so he's in for now.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

5 in the minors, 2 that are last man on the roster types and will probably be up and down.

Strasburg dead, Homer Bailey a little banged up.

looks like you could use a 3rd catcher and someone else who can man CF. Slim pickings though. I have no idea what catcher is worth drafting.

Can take Gustavo Molina C Yankees as the 3rd C (and 6th Yankees C)...he may get the 50 ABs needed before Cervelli gets back

Possibly a stretch, but its possible that Trevor Crowe could get some time in Center if his rehab goes well given that Sizemore probably won't be playing the field every day. Then again, he also might head to the 60 day DL and be useless. Just brainstorming here.

Right - so why do we need league safe? Aren't we just signing up for WIS when it's time...

Fire up a thread for commentary with the rosters IMO. Or is Eeph on top of that?

eliminate any possibility of anyone backing out after their team stinks it up
