Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

[italstallianion]

Since Exman had sent me a pick that I don't think is anyone (Wilson Lopez) and since "Wilton Lopez" is taken, and since he isn't online and since I have Dipre's pick, I'm going to make the executive decision to skip him.

 

Dipre wants Gregg Zaun C

 

RSFFL is up.

[italstallianion]

Kimbrel was already taken (by Forsyth) I think.

[italstallianion]

And it's going faster because we're skipping people. Forsyth, JE, Divinity and Exman having being skipped in the past 2 days.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

f***, my bad one sec.

[italstallianion]

I have A700's pick as well.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Juan Guiterrez RP

 

If he's taken just skip me while I look. I don't think i saw anybody who had him though.

[italstallianion]

I think you're fine RSFFL.

[italstallianion]

Skipping Forsyth again, A700 wants Matt Joyce OF

 

and WhiskeyBreath wants Asdrubal Cabrera SS/2B

 

I think that means that Jacoby Ellsbury is now up, and that Forsyth has 3 picks to make up.

[italstallianion]

Crap, I just realised that Exman already has Asdrubal Cabrera. You need to repick WhiskeyBreath. Damn it.

[italstallianion]

It says that WhiskeyBreath is still online, so hopefully he can find another pick. I don't think that JE is online yet.

[italstallianion]

Damn it, I don't think WB noticed that Asdrubal Cabrera was already taken. Oh well, I guess we've skipped enough picks at this point, so we can give the people who were skipped some time to make up their picks. I don't think that the next person (Jacoby Ellsbury) is online anyway.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

He's probably looking for another pick.

[italstallianion]

I think he logged off.

[EXman369]

i am going to pick now

[italstallianion]

No problem, if you get skipped at any point, you can make a pick up at any time.

[EXman369]

Clay Hensley-425,000

[italstallianion]

I thought that he was already taken, hold on while I check.

[EXman369]

f*** this is so annoing with relievers

[italstallianion]

Yep, he's on Divinity's team.

[EXman369]

JC Romero-4.25 mil

[italstallianion]

I think that he's still available so you're good.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I know how you feel EXman. I hated picking relievers too.

[italstallianion]

That's why in addition to the charts, I have an excel file to keep track of all of this stuff, and a notebook with a bunch of people I scouted before this redraft even started.

[EXman369]

Yeah dude it's either they get taken a pick or 2 before you get to choose him or he's already taken

[italstallianion]

Anyway to update everyone, Forsyth has 3 picks to make up, Divinity has 2 picks to make up, and it's currently WhiskeyBreath's turn.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

That's why in addition to the charts' date=' I have an excel file to keep track of all of this stuff, and[b'] a notebook with a bunch of people I scouted before this redraft even started[/b].

 

I too did that and watch them all get taken one by one.

[EXman369]

I just did a list of "sleepers" but it was a stupid list because all of the people in this draft are very well educated in baseball, its not like im doing it with random people on ESPN.com. So i just winged it just wished i would have realized how easy it was to stay under the cap

[italstallianion]

Yeah, I was kind of surprised too. Not with the intelligence of posters here, but with how easy it was to stay under the cap. I figured that since a lot of MLB teams are well over 110 million, that it would be hard for us to do so. Although I think that the original salary number was 90 million, and that would have been much harder. I think that a bunch of us could have stayed under 100 million if we tried to.

[Will617]

I'm 36m under the cap and I don't really know what to do about it.

[EXman369]

I could stay under 90 if i wanted but i am going to go over 100, i think we could have all went under 90 if we would have wanted but its nicer to have 110 for flexibility and too get an extra good player or 2
