I guess I'll be sending you my picks Ital.

[yrtb]

If I come up tomorrow b4 I get home just skip me, I don't mind

[Jasonbay44]

Yeah you can still just skip me.. I need to get to bed now and im on my ipod, so Ill just make pick when I get home

[italstallianion]

Fair enough dude, hopefully Flynnatic will say the same thing.

[italstallianion]

Timewise we could skip Y228, and Jbay said that we could skip him, although that doesn't help us because it'd still be Flynnatic's turn.

[EXman369]

Dang were so close to finishing too

[italstallianion]

I wouldn't worry about it. This thing will get finished if I have to drag everyone through it.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

..So no one picked while I was at school?

[Jasonbay44]

Wilton Lopez, RP - $400K

[italstallianion]

Nope, it was Y228's turn, then Jbay's turn, and then Flynnatic's turn. Nobody sent me picks, but Jbay said that we could skip him.

[italstallianion]

Speaking of Jbay, Wilton Lopez was already taken (by Will I think)

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Taken.

[Jasonbay44]

Damn, I cannot find any good relievers not taken.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Ital, once I get my computer fixed you won't be beating me anymore. Watch.

Welcome to my world.

[Jasonbay44]

Ramon Ramirez, RP

$1,155,000

[italstallianion]

Now Flynnatic is up (although he was on the clock since this morning since we could skip Jbay, meaning that I can still pick around 5-6)

[italstallianion]

So as of right now, Divinity has 2 makeup picks, Y228 has a makeup pick, and it's Flynnatic's turn.

[Flynnatic10]

TBH, I have no clue who to pick.

[Divinity]

Same here, any bench players I take probably won't be used.

[italstallianion]

I've had my picks picked out for a while, granted I finished my bullpen a while ago so I don't need to sift through relievers.

[italstallianion]

You never know. Taking bench players at this point is like taking lottery tickets, since one player can have a fantastic season out of nowhere, and since you determine your final lineups and usages AFTER the season ends and before the voting starts, you can switch that player to your starting lineup. It's a low risk medium/high reward potential scenario. In addition, bench spots are mainly used as backups based on injuries and can test one's versatility in late game/close game scenarios.

[Divinity]

Howie Kendrick 2b - $1.75M

[italstallianion]

Since Y228 was skipped at 9:54am, and Jbay said that he could be skipped right afterwards (although he has since made his pick) that means that Flynnatic was on the clock at the time that Y228 was skipped, and as such, has until 5:54pm to make his pick (before he is skipped)

 

On another note, Divinity still has a makeup pick, along with Y228. Cmon people, please don't let this fall apart right before the end.

[Divinity]

Marcus Thames 900k

[italstallianion]

Isn't he going to be playing in Japan?

[Divinity]

Thames has considered Japan, but it sounds like he'd prefer to remain in the U.S

[italstallianion]

I think that it should be my turn now.

[italstallianion]

Hopefully by me picking I can spur this draft a bit, but in all fairness it's been more than 8 hours since it was technically Flynnatic's turn.

 

Chone Figgins 3B/2B 8 million

 

Tsuyoshi Nishioka SS/2B 3 million

 

For Nishioka's salary, sicne he wasn't in the majors in 2010, I just used his 2011 salary. I think that'd be the right thing to do.

 

Anyway, Flynnatic can now make 2 picks, although since he was skipped in order to get to me, that means that Jbay can technically pick again.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

This draft just totally died at the end lmao. Come on just two more rounds!
