Changed my mind a few hundred times one this one. Desided that my pitching was good enough and might as well keep with the plan of trying to out score everyone:

[Doctor Detroit]

Gates brown

Once in 1968, Mayo Smith decided to put in his pinch-hitting specialist far earlier in the game than normal. Gates, who usually didn’t come off the bench until a tight spot near the end of the game, was caught off-guard. “I was sitting at the end of the dugout, eating a couple of hot dogs,” Gates recalled. “It was only the fifth inning (and) I never expected Mayo to call on me to pinch hit that early.” Since he didn’t want Smith—who often harped on Gates to lose a few pounds—to see him eating during the game, Gates quickly shoved the dogs down his shirt before heading to the plate. “That’s the only time I ever wished I’d strike out,” said Gates. But being the clutch hitter he was, Gates didn’t get his wish. Instead, he cracked a double and ended up having to slide head-first into second. While Tigers fans roared and cheered, Gates realized he had made quite a mess of himself. “I had mustard and squashed meat all over me,” Gates laughed, recalling that all his teammates were bent over laughing.

Yeah, I would have played the early rounds differently knowing what I know now.

[Tremendous Upside]

24.15 Rafael Soriano, RP

 

[Koya]

Dr. D while not a winner amongst true men is a winner amongst champions, so he at least has earned some right to disparage my picks.

Sparty is the only real one in these circles that can, however, although this jfranco guy scares the bejeezus out of me with SimKnowledge.

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

24.15 Rafael Soriano, RP

Soriano or another reliever is probably who I should have taken.

I wish I could drop a few of my players and pick up ones that are available for those letters

Yeah, I would have played the early rounds differently knowing what I know now.

Only real thing I would have done differently is let Gagne go. I do think this draft was good if for no other reason than it was sort of hard to really screw up badly. It was tough to get necessary depth and it was always a give and take.

I'm not sure what koya even means

 

[Doug B]

Yeah, I would have played the early rounds differently knowing what I know now.

No kidding,Although ... if everyone saved 1B, an OF slot, and two or three top-5 letters for rounds 20+ .... would the results be all that different? The main difference would probably be that the benches would have turned out more even from team to team.

I think the point he's going for is we can't make fun of his dumb picks unless we win a championship. No matter how idiotic they may be, he won this thing before and therefore can do whatever he wants without risk of mockery.

Didn't you already draft him?

I underestimated how much impact the $10M ceiling would have on the quality of starting pitching.

That's like the Cleveland Browns resting on the laurels of their AAFC titles

I'm not sure whether to laugh at shake's drafting shtick or be seriously concerned about his mental health.

Great story.

And Eephus, thanks for that Alvin Dark link from yesterday. I wonder if that guy ever pays for a meal in SF?

there were only 30 or so top-tier guys and most of those were scattered in 3 or 4 letters.

Round 24 is the wild card. And then round 25 is another letter round. You need your WC pick and then a U in round 25.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

RP Andrew Bailey

 

[the moops]

Wildcard is round 24. This is round 24. You can select any player that has not already been selected. You can not select Andruw Jones, Zack Greinke, Ted Williams, or Cy Young.

 

[Greco]

24.15 Rafael Soriano, RP

Soriano or another reliever is probably who I should have taken.

The key is to have really ####ty starters so then the relievers don't matter so much.

ChemX - on deck

shake - owes WC pick

larry boy - owes round 23 pick
