Yeah, still my pick.

J.D. Drew, RF, Red Sox, $14 million

Cliff Pennington, SS, Athletics, $405k

Trade's on the other thread.

On another note, you already had 2 RF's, then you trade one away (one that costs 400k and durable and a great fielder) and you then draft another RF (giving you 2 RF's) and this one costs 14 million, is injury prone and is an ok fielder.

 

Are you familiar with the robot phrase "DOES NOT COMPUTE"

Salary isn't an issue. Drew's played 137 games in 3 of the last 4 seasons, so the injury proneness means he misses about 10 games a season compared to a regular OF. And the corner outfield positions are interchangeable. And Billingsley is a lot better than the rest of the available pitchers. And I get a better pick.

I don't feel like I lost a lot moving Choo from Drew; just about 10 games, and a little bit of production given Drew's aging.

Not to mention the biggest thing that bothers me with the trade is that we were set to trade Hanson for Choo, but then that trade "fell apart" because Forsyth drafted Jacoby Ellsbury, and then you turn and still trade Choo to Dipre for Chad f***** Billingsley.

Crafty trades by Dipre to get himself two great and one very good position player. If it's true Will could have had Hanson instead of Billingsley for Choo, he screwed himself over. Billingsley is a #2 at best. Hanson has a real good chance to be an ace.

To be honest, I had forgotten that Drew was on the board until now, lol. I also forgot about your Hanson offer...but I guess it's a little too late to renege on my trade with Dipre.

Im out for the night u all ill be back on early but doubt ill be able to pick again untill the afternoon hopefully the people near the middle/bottom of the order log on tomorrow early to see that they have a strong possibility of drafting earlier then they thought they would

Haha I guess Forsyth is up again, he's going to be surprised as hell when he finds out that it's his turn again. In any case, I highly doubt that he makes his pick tonight, but he's usually online in the morning.

Lol sorry if I pissed you off or anything.

Wow, so that was a huge day for draft picks. And that was included a 6.5 hour hiatus for Ytrb. Anyway, Forsyth should get things rolling in the morning and we can take things from there. Although I don't have anyone's picks anymore since we past the picks in the draft.
