Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

I'm going to have to go back to sending my picks unless you want to wait until I return from school.

[italstallianion]

I don't mind anyone sending me their picks. I'd always want someone to send me their picks. I hate waiting for people. I'll make everyone's pick of the damn draft if I have to.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

It will be just like the NFL redraft haha. Make sure Flynn sends you his picks as well. I don't want to be waiting on him when he's in school.

Whiskeybreath, i desire to negotiate with you. Interested in anyone from my team?

[WhiskeyBreath]

Mind if I get back to you later? Gonna be busy the rest of the night.

Use my e-mail which is posted in the trade market thread.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Every time I jump offline, things speed up and get to me, and the entire draft gets held up.

[italstallianion]

Yep, although in all fairness, it's not like Keeper rushed in to make the pick after you.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Keeper is online now.

[Keeper]

s***, I wanted Ruiz.

 

Colby Lewis - SP ($1.75 Million)

[italstallianion]

Yankees228 is now up.

Just a quick question, I know you mentioned players playing out of position effecting how you'd judge them when we have voting or whatever, but would it make that much of a difference if I played say a CF in LF?

It depends. If it's a CF playing in LF, it might actually help you when it comes to defense. But if it's an LF playing in CF, then it'd likely hurt you. Granted, someone like Carl Crawford or Brett Gardner might be exceptions.

 

Also, that is just my opinion, others probably think and vote differently.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I wouldn't care. Deck chairs rearranged as far as I'm concerned, unless it's something ridiculous.

[Keeper]

It wouldn't get high marks from me.

Yeah, like I'm not planning on starting Adam Dunn or anything in CF, but I'm just making sure I can draft a CF and play him anywhere in the OF If I need too.

[Will617]

Honestly, I don't think there is a single CF that wouldn't have better defensive numbers at a corner spot. I think it's very difficult (barring unusual circumstances, like the Monster) to become worse moving from CF to LF or RF.

Similarly, I think that everyone that can play SS, can play 2B, except better than they played SS.

Who knows, Dunn might be as good a defensive CF as Matt Kemp is.

[Dipre]

I.....must......trade.......

 

Somebody trade with me!

One year of UZR, bro...Matt Kemp's glove will be back.

And by back, I mean "not terrible".

[italstallianion]

I don't think that Y228 is online yet.

[yankees228]

Sorry about the wait.

 

Nick Swisher, DH (6.75 M)

[italstallianion]

Jbay is up, although I think he logged out a little while ago. God damn it.

[italstallianion]

Hopefully Jbay will sign on before it's Flynnatic's bed time.

[Jasonbay44]

Casey McGehee, 3B

Salary: $427,500

[italstallianion]

It actually says that Jbay is online now. Hopefully Flynnatic will be online at some point soon.

[italstallianion]

Flynnatic is now up. Let's keep it rolling guys and send this back the other way.

[italstallianion]

Also, for those kids with school tomorrow, they should send people their picks in case the draft makes it to them while they are away. You don't have to do that until you're going to log off, so hopefully the draft will be closer to you in that time.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I doubt it will get to me but do you want me to send anyways? Also, don't refer to me as kid. I prefer the term "big boy"

[italstallianion]

As of now, probably not, but if Flynnatic gets his a** online, we could conceivably make it past Y228 going the other way, which would make it reasonably close to your pick. If we do get that far before you sign off, then sure, send me your picks. But if were still waiting for Flynnatic, then you don't have to. Jbay might want to anyway because if we skip Flynnatic tomorrow, then I could make both of my picks, skip Flynnatic again, and then I could make Jbay's pick.
