Anti-Fantasy League Draft and Discussion Thread

[YanksHater213]

I was thinking about escobar, thought he'd drop another round

[TheKilo]

f*** on Kershaw and Verlander, two guys I was targeting this round

[YanksHater213]

LOL I FUKED UR DRAFT UP!

 

I'm kinda pissed though, it would have been idea for me to get Escobar with Kershaw but I'll gladly take Pence

[BSN07]

I took Strasburg(I think that someone said that was allowed, since he will be drafted this season). I know it is a reach, but I wasn't sure how much longer he be out there so I decided to roll the dice on him now. if that move wasn't allowed sorry just let me know and I will re-pick.

[CrespoBlows]

Strausburg is on no major league roster.

 

He cannot be picked.

See I wasn't sure. I though Coco Disciples brought it up and it was allowed. Guess I should have read back through the thread a little.

[BSN07]

Ok I switched to Francisco Liriano. I wanted to at least one LHP in my SP rotation. 2 years ago, he would have likely been a 1st round pick here. I know he had TJ surgery, but he looks like he is recovering well. I know it's a riskier pick. But I think it holds some value.

[Cocos Disciples]

Is Strasburg available immediately after he signs with the Nats?

Dibs:lol:

[Cocos Disciples]

Gonna have to manipulate the picks so I have my pick right after the draft...

Dibs is Dibs. Sorry he belongs to me. I may consider selling his rights though;)

[Dojji]

So can I officially call Zambrano my DH-P?

 

Heck, if Boston had Zambrano in its rotation right now it might voluntarily waive the DH rule every 5 days the way things are going with the big fella.

f*** you.

 

I shouldn't have said anything about Strausburg, but this an outstanding pick.

[castigs850]

and that was the second pitcher i wanted in that spot... more offense? i think so

[BSN07]

f*** you.

I'm actually glad you did. My first intention was to draft Liriano, but when I logged on it wasn't my turn. Then between that time and the Strasburg selection I forgot about Liriano.

 

I thought everyone think it was too risky of a pick. But given your response, I wasn't the only one thinking of him:lol:

[BoSox21]

we'll see how he returns from TJ, early returns aren't great...

[BSN07]

He's past 18 months. Which is usually the time they get stronger.

[TheKilo]

As mentioned in the picks thread, Strasburg is eligible because he will be drafted and signed this season, and the goal is to build the best team over the next 5 years.

 

Liriano is still available.

[castigs850]

well i had three pitchers that i wanted this round, it was Verlander, then Liriano, a couple position players, and another pitcher that i hope will fall through to me again. With Liriano becoming re-available, that was the choice.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Really difficult pick, everyone on my draft board was snatched. I didn't want to take Tillman this early, but at this rate I was starting to think he might not be around for my next pick.

[CrespoBlows]

My fourth starter > Keeper's first.

[Dojji]

Your rotatin is excellent, but you'll have to really scramble to find a good balance of offense and defense to support them. You've still got no up the middle talent.

 

And of course, my front 3 (Greinke-Shields-Zambrano) can stand up to your front 3 while at the same time I've got my primo positions covered with solid two-way talent.

[castigs850]

my lineup is going to f*** any pitcher deep and hard up the *******

[Dipre]

Ahhh.....my search for balance will lead to pwnag3.

[Keeper]

Yeah, I would say balance is key.

 

Kazmir is better than Danks? Debatable. Kazmir might be better than your 3rd starter, though.

[Dipre]

I've already added young star power at C, 1B and 3B, while picking up 2 solid SPs, and a gamble on a budding superstar.

 

Keep looking at the master working his magic in his upcoming rounds

[Keeper]

I'm looking forward to my next few picks. I'm just wondering if I can afford to wait on some guys in later rounds. Wish I was a mind reader.

Depends, SPs are going pretty quickly, and up-the middle positions are growing scarce as well.

[Dojji]

There's still some value in the infield but if you want a well-known, young player you'd better move pretty fast.
