Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

Haha I'd totally feel bad for holding this thing up if RSFFL picks the person I would have picked for him. Oh well, at least a700 is online so we can keep the ball rolling when RSFFL comes on.

Sorry guys this was my fault not Itals I wasn't clear on who I wanted when I sent him that message a few days back.

 

I have my pick let me just look at the salary.

It's not a problem. I was just confused because you recently took the middle person on the list, and you had changed which reliever you wanted, and your 2nd choice was very similar to your 3rd person, so I figured that if I was going to make a mistake, I'd rather have waited too long and have you come back and make your pick, than to have made the wrong pick.

 

Besides, I have Forsyth's pick and I still think that A700 is online (while WhiskeyBreath isn't) so I don't think that this delays anything for too long.

Bobby Abreu OF 9 mil

[italstallianion]

Forsyth wanted Domonic Brown OF 400k

 

Btw RSFFL, had I guessed your pick, I would have guessed wrong because I would have gone with the reliever that you listed first on your list.

I noticed the person I picked was a closer. I already have Chris Perez. I didn't pay attention.

[italstallianion]

A700 is now up.

[a700hitter]

Balfour ($2,050,000)

[italstallianion]

WhiskeyBreath is now up.

[italstallianion]

It looks like WB is online now. Yay!!

[WhiskeyBreath]

Miguel Montero - C ($2M)

[italstallianion]

Jacoby Ellsbury is now up.

[italstallianion]

I don't think that JE's online yet.

[italstallianion]

What I find interesting is that the person that Keeper sent me, was the person that I thought he was going to pick last round. I nailed WB's pick, got Y228's pick clearly wrong, but I think I deserve partial credit on Keeper's pick because while he didn't pick him in the last round, he did (unless JE picks him) eventually pick him.

Haha I want to know who you expected me to take.

[italstallianion]

I figured that you were going to take Jeter. You had an opening at SS, you're a Yankee fan, and I think that you had the money.

 

I guessed that WhiskeyBreath was going to take Luke Gregerson, and I guessed that Keeper was going to take the person that he just sent me.

I think Jeter would have been a good fit for my team, but he would have pushed my payroll up to around 80 million dollars. There are still 11 rounds to go, and I also still hope to acquire a big bat. The other hand, because of your payroll flexibility, I think he was an excellent pick.

[italstallianion]

I would have tried to get Jeter in a later round (because of his payroll) but since you and Divinity were the only 2 people without SS's, that lessened my chances of getting him in another round. Especially since that I'm at the end of the rounds anyway, which means that for each time I pass him up, that gives both you and Divinity 2 chances to draft him.

Yup, I understand the rationale. At this point I'm not really sure what I'm going to do for SS, as no one truly stands out and deserves to be taken in the next couple rounds. Assuming people wait until the last couple rounds to draft backup MIFs, I should be able to hold off on drafting a SS for awhile.

[italstallianion]

Hopefully JE's sister didn't kick him off of the computer again. This is obviously way more important than anything she could possibly be doing, like chatting with me.

My payroll is at 90mill, Jeter was too expensive for my tastes heh

[italstallianion]

Damn it, so I could have waited to draft him. Grrr.

[italstallianion]

Since WhiskeyBreath made his pick before 4pm, we could skip Jacoby Ellsbury if it comes to it at some point tonight. I also have Keeper's pick, so we could send it straight to Y228 I think.

I may be heading out, so if I do, I'll send you a few picks.

Your avatar is offensive to me, sir.

[italstallianion]

Yeah, I'm also not a fan of Y228's new avatar, although to be honest, now that I think about it, I wasn't a fan of his old one either.

[yankees228]

Haha, I'm guessing you're an A-Rod hater.

[Will617]

Nah, it's just douchebags in general. Something about them rubs me the wrong way.

[WhiskeyBreath]

RIP

Fair enough. He's one of my favorite players, and, in my opinion, one of the best parts of the 2009 championship was A-Rod playing great and getting his ring.
