Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

[italstallianion]

For the record, if Pineiro, Cecil, or Kennedy actually log in long relief time this season, then I will happily withdraw any concerns I had when they were drafted.

[Dipre]

For the Pineiro pick, i did my research ahead of time, not only has he pitched relief innings before, but prospects Tyler Chatwood, Trevor Reckling and Garret Richards all bound to start at AA next year, and all having higher ceilings than Pineiro, if one of them separates from the pack (and they likely will) and knocks on the door to the big club, if the Angels can't find a taker for Pineiro, who would be the logical choice (seeing as he had prior relief experience) to pitch long innings for the club?

 

This is not like some of the other guys who have a secure year-long spot in the rotation and no one pushing from behind them with higher potential.

[italstallianion]

In all fairness I said that the Pineiro pick was slightly better than the Cecil and Kennedy picks, and some of what you said was the reason.

[italstallianion]

Also, for reasons like these, I think that every team should have their lineups set (vs. RHP and vs. LHP) and their bullpens set (LRP, MRP, SU, CL) before the power rankings are done.

Nooooooooooooooo I wanted Lackey! I can't think of any pitchers so skip me.

[italstallianion]

I think I already skipped you, but Forsyth isn't online.

[italstallianion]

For the record, it's Forsyth's turn.

[EXman369]

How long do we have to make are lineups and pen before the power rankings r made?

[Will617]

I'm here. Tell Exman that he's an ass and I hate him. Now have to fill that final bench spot, lemme find someone to choose.

[EXman369]

y will?

I don't know really, just get it done once the draft is finished.

[Will617]

First Pedroia, then McCutchen (though I could live with that one), now Arencibia and Smoak.

[italstallianion]

McCutchen was the one that I wanted the most, but I could have used Shin Soo Choo as well.

[EXman369]

oh lol i thought u were mad at me for something i said and i didn't remember saying anything, were u about to take smoak? cause i remember snatching pedroia and arencibia before u

[EXman369]

Nooooooooooooooo I wanted Lackey! I can't think of any pitchers so skip me.

 

i thought u had 5 sp?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

f*** it. Tommy Hunter SP

 

I can't bold my pick on my ps3 so sorry about that. Not that it matters that much anyways.

[italstallianion]

He does, but Johan Santana is injured and will be out for a while, so instead of dropping him and picking up another starter (which Dipre and I allowed him to do at the end of the draft) he said he'd rather have 3 bench spots and get another starter that way. I figured it as ok.

[Will617]

Mitch Moreland, 1B, Texas Rangers. 400k

[Jasonbay44]

If I come up tonight you guys can skip me again

[WhiskeyBreath]

Coco Crisp - OF ($4.75M)

[italstallianion]

Nevermind, it's all good.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Is everyone drafting a guy who is specifically used as a LR or are they just using a MR or SU guy?

[SoxFanForsyth]

It's my turn? You can skip me, I'm going to take a minute to decide.

[italstallianion]

Is everyone drafting a guy who is specifically used as a LR or are they just using a MR or SU guy?

 

 

Some people are even using starters as a LR guy. It isn't THAT important, but it's definitely something I factor in when doing rankings/voting.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Alright I've got my final pick.

 

Mike Leake - Long Relief/Spot Starter $400,000

[a700hitter]

Whose turn is it?

[italstallianion]

It's your turn a700.

[a700hitter]

It's your turn a700.

[EXman369]

[WhiskeyBreath]
