Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

[yrtb]

Pick coming in a couple of minutes

[italstallianion]

My apologies dude, I really thought his salary was 1.5 million. I didn't mean to screw you over.

[Divinity]

No problem, I know you wouldn't do it intentionally

[yrtb]

Juan Uribe, UTIL

3.25M

[Keeper]

s***. Nice pick, yrtb. Uribe is solid at SS, 2B, and 3B.

[yrtb]

Thanks, killing three birds with one stone was convenient

[italstallianion]

I do have Exman's pick, but I think he spelled the name wrong so I'm going to try and decipher who he wants. It'll give me some time to get Dipre's pick too.

[italstallianion]

I think (and hope) that Exman was trying to say Mike Aviles SS 429k

 

Dipre wants Bill Hall Util 8.4 million

 

That means that RSFFL is up, and I don't have any more picks from him.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Damn, my turn already? My bad give me a few.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Felipe Lopez UTIL

[italstallianion]

Forsyth is up. He said that he was going to be out until tomorrow, and he did not send me a pick, so Dipre wanted to skip him at this point. He said he'd check in periodically, and I personally don't think that people are as likely to have the same picks at this stage in the draft. Anyway, we could still possibly skip Forsyth today even if we didn't do it immediately, but Dipre feels that we should just skip him now and have him make up his pick sometime when he checks in. Do you guys have thoughts on the matter?

 

I'm fine with either since Forsyth has been good about making his picks, but I do think that these picks aren't as important as the earlier ones and I doubt that his ideal picks get taken in the interim.

[Divinity]

May as well skip him, like you mentioned at this point in the draft people are mostly filling bench spots and the chances his picks would be taken are slim.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I hate skipping people but in this case we should skip him. If he's not going to be on until tomorrow that would be a waste of time waiting for the 8 hours.

[italstallianion]

In all fairness, the next pick is a700, and I don't think that he's online yet. So I guess we can "officially" skip Forsyth when A700 comes online.

[a700hitter]

Should I make my selection?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

A700 is online now.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I think you can a700 but I'll wait for Ital to confirm.

[italstallianion]

Yeah a700, go for it. I have WB's pick who picks after you anyway. I hope that Forsyth will understand.

[a700hitter]

Cody Ross ($4,450,000)

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Mr.Clutch man. Nice pick.

[a700hitter]

Mr.Clutch man. Nice pick.

Thanks.

[italstallianion]

WB wanted Dan Wheeler RP 3.5 million he was almost the choice I sent to Divinity, but WB had sent me his message first, and since WB didn't send any backups, I felt that I should find another pick for Divinity and post WB's pick when it comes.

[italstallianion]

Jacoby Ellsbury is now up.

[italstallianion]

It looks like JE hasn't been online at all today.

[yankees228]

Ital, I sent you my picks. Hope that's OK.

[italstallianion]

Ok.

[italstallianion]

Worst case scenario we can also skip JE today if need be. I think the difference between this and the Forsyth situation was that Forsyth said that he wasn't going to be online until tomorrow, whereas we hadn't heard from JE at all. I don't plan on skipping JE unless Dipre says so, but I doubt that we'd have to eventually skip him anyways.

[italstallianion]

Since JE hasn't been online at all today, and Keeper appears to be online at the moment, Dipre and I think that Keeper can make his pick now if he wishes.

 

 

Edit: Per Dipre's orders, by making the pick here, Keeper hereby relinquishes the right to whine and complain in the event that future skips of this nature are made.

[Keeper]

Haha, I hereby acknowledge that stipulation.

 

Kyle McClellan - RP ($425,000)

[italstallianion]

Nice pick Keeper. Had he been left handed he would have been one of my picks.
