[Koya]

Spoke to TU, he should be checking in soon.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Gee, thanks for making me scramble to pick while I was enjoying myself with my family at the horse racing track, and then no other picks happen.

Now, I have a garbage player to show for it. Really, thanks #######s.

 

[Koya]

Ok, maybe not on the TU front. sorry

Ok, maybe Bannister isn't THAT ####ty compared to what's left on the starting pitcher front, but there were better pitchers out there that I would have loved to have researched.From 5 PM central yesterday until 9 PM central last night, I had 0 research time.

 

[Koya]

Sup #####es.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

[Tremendous Upside]

I'm here.

Can you create a spring training team and sim it live?

 

[Bogart]

8.10 - Lou Whitaker - 2B

Like the A/A- defense in the middle of the field, and has a nice power/speed not totally slow situation that should not be a total loss in our lineup.

 

[RnR]

Gimme this guy...

 

[Spartans Rule]

Gimme this guy...

Very good pick. Was torn between him and Teufel last time.

 

[Koya]

SoCalphone?

 

[Spartans Rule]

SoCalphone?

I sent a PM. Hopefully he picks tonight or we'll likely have a morning wait on our hands.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If you guys want I can rank the teams when this is over.

Rankings shtick and arguements are a good thing.

 

[RnR]

One-player list sent to Sparty. If for some reason I get sniped, please email me and I'll make another pick in the morning.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

8.12 Brian Downing OF

9.01 Pete O'Brien 1B

Bogart's gonna be pissed.

 

[Spartans Rule]

RnR takes this guy

ETA: It's Ivan Calderon. You can barely read the name off that card.

 

[Hoos First]

who can take a list?

 

[Hoos First]

oh well

 

[Koya]

oh well

If you are still around, I can.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

BoGreco OTC until 10 AM CT, correct?

 

[MrPhoenix]

One of those two said they'd be gone for a while. Which one was it?

 

[Eephus]

Greco is on vacation w/out net access this week

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Pretty sure Greco is out for awhile. And Bogart is here about as much as jplvr gets laid.

 

[Koya]

BTW, what time does the clock go until in the evening? We going to 7 or 8 like in most drafts?

Yeah, I doubt Bogart makes it in before his clock expires, but since it's only 30 mins, I'll wait

 

[MrPhoenix]

Bogart PM sent.

9.04 Sid Fernandez, SP

[MrPhoenix]

Thanks for the PM, Kraft.

Pick coming shortly.

 

[MrPhoenix]

9.05- C Benito Santiago, Call Me Benny

His OBP will be kind of a ####, but since he played 146 games, he'll lessen my need for a backup. Plus, the guy can rake and offers above-average defense.

I believe that's 4 catchers only.

not bad considering there weren't any good ones to start with

"Catcher" used loosely if you're counting that rag-armed DH you drafted

 

[Eephus]

Kevin McReynolds, OF

 

[Eephus]

Did hoos leave a list?

 

[Kraft...]

Kevin McReynolds, OF

Very solid pick here, best OF left IMO

 

[Spartans Rule]

Did hoos leave a list?

I got nothing. Anyone can always send me a list. That's generally been accepted as a commish responsibility in these things.

At this point, I think all players are going to have at least one gaping hole in their game. With Santiago, it's OBP. With other catchers, it might be lack of ABs, poor BA, or a noodle for a throwing arm.

 

[Eephus]

Kevin McReynolds, OF

Very solid pick here, best OF left IMO

He's almost identical to Ivan Calderon except for the jheri curl, gold chains and the unsolved murder thing

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Will text Hoos

 

[Koya]

Will text Hoos

Hoos was asking for a list this morning, but was only around for about 15 min. I got in to say send it to me one minute after his last post, i have a bad feeling we are about to lost an hour. :-/

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Draft not exactly screaming along here.

 

[Kraft...]

Sending list to at least the commish should be common place by now.

 

[Bogart]

9.03 - Gary Carter - C

Was going to go Benny, but this is fine.

 

[Spartans Rule]

BTW, what time does the clock go until in the evening? We going to 7 or 8 like in most drafts?

I've just got it at 5... usually don't see too many problems with drafting at that hour.

Anyone have an issue if we extend to at least 6, if not 7 or 8? If some people won't have access I understand but we usually do that, and especially on late starting days like today, it can get in an extra run or so in the late afternoon.

 

[Kraft...]

around 10 more minutes for Hoos
