What made me even more pissed was I got online I was ready to make my pick and the internet goes down on me.

 

 

It's ok dude, it wasn't a huge wait and you still got your pick, so it's not like you were skipped and you missed picks or something. It's all good in the hood brother.

Hellickson is a good pick' date=' my only concern is whether he's going to get any starting time.[/quote']

 

Yeah I was concerned about that too, but I have read quite a few places that with the struggles of Shields, Niemman, and Davis he will get his chance.

 

Also last year in his 4 games he started, he went 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA. Obviously I don't expect those numbers throughout the year, but 15 wins and a mid 3's ERA is pretty attainable for him. He's a hell of a pitcher. I don't think he would have made it back to me.

Isn't Johan out until midseason?

 

I do know he was injured last season but I'm not certain how long he will be out next season. I wanted Chris Carpenter then my internet went out and panicked. Instead of looking for a pitcher I just got one of my head to save more time. I didn't know everyone was going to be ok with me not making my pick right away. I would have took more time lol.

Well, I wouldn't have minded, but that's mostly because I won't be picking for another day or two.

I'd be equally concerned about the salary hit, but you've been one of the few people that's been consistently under the cap average, so you did have some room to spare.

About three of my picks were about 1 million or less so I figured I'd take a gamble. Believe or not I was going to get C.C but Y228 took him.

I think it's actually quite funny, because I had planned to take 2 other people, but your alternate pick was on my radar. In any case, I was in the middle of sending you a message suggesting that you should have picked him first, because I'd have bet my house that Hellickson would have still been available for your next pick. I certainly wouldn't have taken him with my 2 picks in the interim.

 

In any case, while I do like your player, I'm not likely to take him with my picks unless my main picks get taken. I'll make the extra effort not to take your guy though, but I can't promise that nobody else would take your player.

 

That said, I'm a little disappointed that a700 didn't make his pick or send anyone his picks since he said he wasn't going to be here for a few hours and was online when RSFFL was ready to make his pick. Oh well.
