Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

[Dipre]

J_E wants Madison Bumgarner (400 K)

[Keeper]

I think he'll rebound as well. He came on strong in the 2nd half before he hurt his wrist. Didn't necessarily want to take him in this round, but with all the good 2B gone, my hand was forced.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Matt Wieters - C

[a700hitter]

I'm in transit with Blackberry. It looks like I am up.

[a700hitter]

After much consultation with Theo and our baseball people, it was decided that Theo's Mentor needs some offense. With a single move we will be more than doubling our payroll by selecting:

 

Alex Rodriguez ($33,000,000)

[EXman369]

f***kkk i was going to do that with my next pick

[a700hitter]

f***kkk i was going to do that with my next pick

ARod? You already have Youk and Gabby Sanchez at the corners. Would you ave benched Sanchez or DH'd ARod?

[EXman369]

yeah i would shuffle around gaby youk and a roid but it would have been a sick lineup

[italstallianion]

I'll update the chart and for the record, I have RSFFL and Exman's picks. Is it Forsyth's turn?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Can't believe someone took A-Rod.

 

Give me like 2 minutes. I just want to confirm my choice.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Alright. I'm not crazy about this pick, but all the good closers appear to be off the board except for...

 

Mariano Rivera, RP, $15mm

[italstallianion]

RSFFL wants Ricky Nolasco SP 3.8m

 

Dipre (for Jacoby Ellsbury) wants Yunel Escobar SS 435k

 

Exman wants Kurt Suzuki C 600k

[italstallianion]

I think that Ytrb is one of those "kids" at school, so we probably won't hear from him for a few hours. If Divinity or Will are online, they can send me their picks in case they won't be here when Ytrb comes online.

[italstallianion]

Although I'm wondering if Ytrb was online earlier, why he didn't send anyone his picks. Granted, I'm surprised that we were able to get this many picks in in the morning, but we could have gotten a little further. Oh well, no big deal really, school lets out in a few hours and I imagine that Ytrb would have his pick in shortly thereafter. Hopefully Divinity and Will are around by then.

[Divinity]

It appears he was last online at 3am, I'm here though so when yrtb does log on we can get the ball rolling

[italstallianion]

Nice, just make sure to send someone your picks if you plan on going anywhere. I think it'd be at least 2 hours before Ytrb gets out of school and makes his pick.

[Will617]

Wow, this sucks. I wake up and pretty much every 2B and Madison Bumgarner are gone.

[italstallianion]

It's good to see that you're both online. When ytrb makes his pick we should send this thing flying in the other direction. I also have Exman's pick and Dipre's pick so we could send it all the way back to RSFFL.

[italstallianion]

Got your picks will.

[italstallianion]

I now have Divinity's picks as well as Will's picks (and Exman's and Dipre's) so when Ytrb makes his pick we can keep this going.

 

Unfortunately, one of Divinity's picks was the same as Dipre's ideal pick, so Dipre will need to make a new pick.

[italstallianion]

Hopefully Ytrb doesn't have detention or something

[italstallianion]

I also received a bunch of picks from Y228, so if Ytrb will ever make his pick (hint hint) we can get this thing rolling.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I have so much work to do and I have to get some things done for my midterm essays. Ital has my pick. If someone manages to take it then give me some time. I will check in occasionally to see if I'm good to go.

 

One day back in school and it's like I'm back in hell.

[italstallianion]

Wow RSFFL, I totally forgot that I had your second pick. Dipre is working in his new pick now, so if Ytrb gets his a** online, we could make it all the way down to Forsyth. Also RSFFL, from everyone that's sent me picks, nobody chose your guy, so the only one we'd have to worry about is Ytrb.

[italstallianion]

Ytrb will technically have until 7:15pm to make his pick.

[italstallianion]

I bet that Ytrb is on the list of people that Dipre wants to Dragon Punch.

[EXman369]

Hey italy no need to make my next pick for me we moved hotels and i now have full internet in my room

[italstallianion]

Fair enough, although in this case I might as well since I have like 7 picks in a row.

[italstallianion]

Countdown, only 2 hours left until we can skip Ytrb!!

[EXman369]

That would suck for him if you really do have 7 picks
