6.17: Addie Joss, SP

feels like a steal. have been wondering for a while why he was still on the board. does he have some sort of Eichhornian problem?

He is a steal... I've been kicking myself for taking Walter Johnson too early, Joss is a very very similar pitcher. Great value at this point.

Dirkswish/Bogart/SoTexasDraftKiller is up

 

[Dirkswish]

7.149 - Pudge Rodriguez - C

I have three guys ahead of him (none of them are Rangers), but I like the idea of having catcher taken care of and keeping my defense at A/A levels.

The 35 homers help my weak offense as well.

 

[jfranco77]

R is now the first letter to be half done.

2. RHP Hideo Nomo

Dirkswish/Bogart/SoTexasDraftKiller is up

I'm a little offended by this. My pick showed up late last night and I picked first thing this morning. The only other time I have been late I was on the road and picked going 80 mph down the road.

 

[Chemical X]

i liked hoiles, but knew i would need another catcher at some point.

Well then I apologize for my poor attempt at shtick. You did pick at 830 EST which is pretty damn early Texas time.PS> If you were a real Texan wouldn't you be more offended that I said it was South Texas?

No worries. By the way, just tried logging in as Bogart on my work computer forgetting my vacation is still for another 12 hours.

I'm going dark, so if by some chance I come up again in the next 12 hours, text me at 817 726 3722.

Thanks.

And South Texas is still Texas, so no offense taken.

 

[Brady Marino]

actually I started the Bogartdraftkiller schtick, so the blame is on me.

We can't really give it to SoCal anymore, so I was reaching for a new nominee. :(

I think I have my shtick (still haven't used 'M' yet, two Rangers on my team after 7 picks) but there is always room for more.

 

[shake zula]

Make up pick for 6th round = Tony Gwynn, OF, 1987

That season is on my NEVER DRAFT AGAIN list, fool me twice <_<

 

[Sammy3469]

Tre's "driving"...of course he's tweeted he's drinking by 10:30 Minny time, so I'm guessing he'll be along shortly.

I haven't used 'M' yet, either. Schtickrace?

Are you drafting a light hitting defensive SS bench player with a prime letter too?

 

[Doug B]

Just got out of a meeting, need a few minutes.

7.10 Warren Spahn, LHP

two rounds in a row...actually it is three I forgot about Napoli

 

[Eephus]

7.08: Hank Greenberg, OF

I've had Greenberg's name partially typed twice in previous rounds.

 

[jfranco77]

Some very divergent picks this round... Nathan/Greenberg I love, Tanana not so much (but I admit I haven't looked at T in a while, I got my pick out of that mess early)

 

[RnR]

I really hate picking on the turn. You guys are murdering what little prep I put into my picks.

Hater. Oh, look at Reyes' 2011 and call me back. TIA

i am unsure on tanana, but the only real negative i see is his hr rate of .75...........the other top pitchers in '76 AL were fidrych and blue, but he was better in every other category. 24 HRs in 290 innings which i hope wont kill me.
