this might go the time limit' date=' im thinking we might not see a lot of yankee action around here for a while. unless they thump us tomorrow of course[/quote']

 

schedule awareness is fun.

[castigs850]

but you think sucking fatties are fun too, so.... i dont trust you

[BoSox21]

wut?

[castigs850]

he picked what a great guy

[castigs850]

andre ethier. idk, his name sounds beast. andre 3k, andre the giant, andre ethier. IM FELLIN IT

[Dojji]

... well it was a solid pick anyway...

[msubulldogs21]

I went with Paul Maholm. He is a reliable workhorse. Good innings eater and one of the more underrated SP in baseball.

 

He's also a Mississippi State guy.

[Keeper]

Ethier is a fine pick. Was definitely on my board. If last year's Maholm is the real Maholm, then he is also a good pick. Could be another Joe Saunders, in which case you might be in trouble.

[Dojji]

Really kinda surprised that Napoli was still there in the 4th round. he's not as big a name than Martin or McCann but he's got a ton of power and carries his weight defensively. He is a better overall hitter than Russel Martin right now, but Martin gets all the hype..

 

In 5 years he'll be at the latter end of his prime and probably still be putting up 20 HR's and a .340-.360 OBP. Not too freakin' bad for the catcher spot.

 

REALLY surprised that Doumit went before Napoli on this board considering how Napoli abuses Red Sox pitching.

[BoSox21]

Dojji, you f***ing cocksucking bloody ****rag. you'll rue the day you crossed me

[Dojji]

You really thought Napoli would slip through 4 rounds of drafts? A 20 HR catcher? When he's the only good young power hitting catcher left on the board? I mean who was I supposed to pick, Dioner Narvarro?

 

Anyway, my roster's taking shape well. A good 1-2 punch in the rotation and strong up the middle offense.

shut up, he was two picks away from being mine

[BSN07]

I needed a SS. Thought I'd take a younger guy with high potential. Better then taking one of the limited ceiling established guys.

[Dojji]

Andrus doesn't even have gap power. You should have gone for Yunel Escobar instead. He was my second pick if I hadn't got S. Drew.

[Keeper]

The only problem with Napoli is he's never played 100 games in a season. Mostly because of Jeff Mathis, but maybe there are other reasons we're not privy to.

[Dojji]

That's why he wasn't a first rounder.

 

Even if he needs to platoon to be effective, if you have that kind of power out of the catcher spot you go for it.

[Dojji]

Nice pick, DipreG. I was hoping Zimmerman would fall to me on the serpentine.

[BSN07]

I wasn't worried about the offense too much. It was between the two, so I took the player playing in Texas. Offense numbers should get him a moderate boost.

 

How are the two compared defense wise?

[Dipre]

Nice pick' date=' DipreG. I was hoping Zimmerman would fall to me on the serpentine.[/quote']

 

I'll take .290-25-100 and GG defense from my 3B any day of the week.

 

That gives me quite the offense/defense combo at the IF corners with him and Gonzales.

[CrespoBlows]

Can we trade picks?

[Dojji]

I wouldn't say so.

[Dipre]

f*** you Bosox21, Hardy was mine, lol!

[BoSox21]

I was gonna take Yunel Escobar but seeing as how one of my corner outfielders lacks power (Crawford in LF), I needed to make up for it in another position

[castigs850]

f*** you dojji i wanted verlander, so then f*** you bosox for taking hardy leading him to take verlander

[Dojji]

You said what now?

[BoSox21]

dont mess with him, hes tuff. just smile and say "thank you sir, may i have another?"

[Dipre]

f*** you dojji i wanted verlander' date=' so then f*** you bosox for taking hardy leading him to take verlander[/quote']

 

I was the one who picked Verlander, Einstein.

[castigs850]

I was nearly sure you're a record medal-holder of the special olympics, and that post confirmed my suspicions.

[castigs850]
