Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

[Flynnatic10]

So If I'm reading the site right, Tim Lincecum's salary is 8 million?

[italstallianion]

Yep. 8 Million for 2010, and Miguel Cabrera was 20 million I think. Which I think puts you over 25.4% of your salary cap on 2 players.

[Will617]

He just emailed me that he wants to pick Luis Sojo.

 

Really? He told me he wanted Ryan Braun...the reliever.

[italstallianion]

Divinity took forever with his first pick, and he made a pick earlier today, so he should have (at worst) sent me his ideal 2nd pick. Granted, Will, you did take quite a while to make your picks, so perhaps he thought that you were going to be longer, but still, he should have sent his ideal picks to someone since there were only 2 picks between his last pick and his next one. This is really pissing me off since I could have had my picks in tonight and not had to worry about missing my picks when I leave tomorrow.

 

Even though nobody has been skipped yet, if people frequently take a long time to make picks then I'll shorten the window from 8 hours to 6 hours. For reference, when we started the NFL redraft we started at 12 hours, and we still skipped a lot of people. I think that in the end, I might have been the only person out of the 15 never to have been skipped.

I'll be fast... just ask my wife.

[italstallianion]

I'll be fast... just ask my wife.

 

 

If you don't mind stopping and starting, I'm sure that you're one of the best around.

[yrtb]

Ital, I'm going to PM you two pick choices, because I'll probably wake up at noon tomorrow

[italstallianion]

Haha I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up around noon too. I usually average 10:30-11:00 so it'll work out. I have to leave for my friend's party a little after noon anyway, so I'll get the pick in if you don't. Especially because if Divinity doesn't make his pick by 10:27am it'd be your pick anyway.

 

Edit: I also have Exman's and Dipre's ideal picks, so I can make them as well.

[yrtb]

I just sent one choice, couldn't think of another

[a700hitter]

I just sent one choice' date=' couldn't think of another[/quote']We have 37 rounds to go. You'll need to come up with some more choices.

[italstallianion]

No problem. The only problem you'd have is if Divinity chooses your player. And odds are that if he does so, he'd do so before you go to bed so you'd be able to see it. Otherwise I could make your pick, and Exman's and Dipre's picks so that it'd skip right to RSFFL's turn.

[italstallianion]

Divinity is online everyone!!

[Divinity]

Just got home, I'll take Chase Ultley - 15m

[italstallianion]

Ytrb wants Yovani Gallardo SP

 

Exman wants Kevin Youkilis 1B

 

Dipre wants Ian Kinsler 2B

 

RSFFL is up

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Praise the lord!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

One sec I got my pick just need to get salary.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Victor Martinez C $7,000,000

[italstallianion]

SoxfanForsyth is now on the clock.

[italstallianion]

I doubt that SoxfanForsyth makes his pick tonight, but he seems like he'd made his pick in reasonable time tomorrow morning.

[italstallianion]

I hope that a bunch of picks are made in the morning.

[WhiskeyBreath]

I won't be online from 7:45am to 4pm tomorrow.

[italstallianion]

Do you want to send your pick to someone? I'll be online from when I wake up (ball park around 10:30 to 11) to when I leave for my friend's party (probably a bit after noon)

 

From there I wouldn't be back until sometime Thursday afternoon. In any case, you could send me your pick idea (and 1-2 backups) but I'd also try sending your pick ideas to a few other people, like Dipre and RSFFL, since they already picked and can't "steal" your guys.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

If you want you can send to me.

[Will617]

Tell me your picks! I"ll be here all day.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Or you can give to Will. I really don't care.

[italstallianion]

You should have a few options, just in case the person you send the picks to has something come up or something. Always good to have backup options. I want this to go as rapidly and smoothly as possible.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Ok. Sent out a couple picks to a few members who should be online tomorrow at some point before me. Would have sent them to you ital but you got plans.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Ah s*** sorry guys. Last night I started feeling sick and took some ny-quil. Once I take that stuff, there's no waking me up until it runs its course.

 

Alright, I'm torn between two players right now, so give me a minute.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Alright, I gotta get a middle infielder.

 

I'll take Dan Uggla, 2B, 7.8mm

[SoxFanForsyth]

a700 - You're on the clock. (and online right now)
