    Did Divinity just sign off without making his pick or sending it to someone?
  2. italstallianion
    Divinity is up again.
  3. italstallianion
    No problem. It's just who has the best team. The power rankings will be before the season starts so it won't be a big deal, and there will be some power ranking during the season, but the main deal is the voting at the end of the season. The matchups will be made via the power rankings, but the voting will (hopefully) be based on the 2011 stats along with gameplans from the "Managers", or the posters.
  4. italstallianion
    No. Not at all.
  5. italstallianion
    I don't know where you're going with this, but I don't think so.

    I bet that Will comes on and makes his picks in the near future. He isn't at school or anything so it's not like he won't be back until 3pm. So you should stick around Divinity, and if not then just send me a pick and a backup pick and you can be on your way.
  7. italstallianion
    Nope, at this moment I believe that I only have RSFFL, Ytrb, Forsyth, and Dipre's picks.

    The main reason why I'm against using a regular starter as a long reliever is because it's something that you can do in fantasy sports that doesn't help build a real team. For example, something like that would be like stacking your bullpen with 3-4 closers. That's a very common principle in fantasy baseball, but not a sound one in a redraft. In addition, in fantasy baseball people often grab the best offensive players with no thought towards salary or defense, which again, would work in fantasy baseball but not here. The main reason why I'd be against something like using a pitcher who's SOLELY a starter as a long reliever is that it not only isn't realistic, but it would nullify any point in using their 2011 numbers as a barometer for their worth. You certainly couldn't use their WAR and assume that it'd be the same as a reliever. In my opinion, there's a HUGE difference between using someone that's gone back and forth between the rotation and bullpen (like Joba Chamberlain) as a long reliever, and using someone that's only been in the rotation (like CC Sabathia).

    Ytrb wanted Evan Meek RP .4135m Divinity is up.

    I'm not making a rule that's saying that you can't do it, but I think that it's a really bad idea, and it's something that I'd look at when voting, not that it would decide a matchup or anything. I'm sure that others will chime in in the near future.
  11. italstallianion
    Perhaps if they had experience. You don't see the real teams necessarily using starter starters as their long relievers. Some might, but it's not a good idea to plug a random starter who has had no experience relieving and to use him as a long reliever. There's a difference between someone who's gone back and forth between a starter and a reliever and has had experience as a long reliever (Tim Wakefield) and someone that's just a pure starter and has had no experience relieving (CC Sabathia, David Price, the pick you sent me, and about 100 others)
  12. italstallianion
    Just to make a point, while you can do it, I wouldn't recommend drafting a random starter and sticking him as your long reliever. It would likely count against you. Unless of course, the starter was going back and forth from starting and relieving, but that's another story. I'm referring to drafting someone like CC Sabathia and putting him as your long reliever.
  13. italstallianion
    I also have Forsyth's pick and I can see RSFFL sending me his pick in the morning. In addition, I'm talk with Dipre all the time so I have easy access to his picks.
  14. italstallianion
    I have Ytrb's picks.
  15. italstallianion
    In any case, it'll be Exman's turn when he wakes up in the morning. Hopefully those nearby (Ytrb, Divinity, Will) will send me some picks by the time I wake up tomorrow.
  16. italstallianion
    There's plenty of time for arguments when the draft is over and we're doing powerrankings.
  17. italstallianion
    Looks like Exman will make his pick in the morning. Any high schoolers are encouraged to send me their picks.
  18. italstallianion
    RSFFL Brian Fuentes RP Dipre Desmond Jennings OF 400k Exman is up.
  19. italstallianion
    I have RSFFL and Dipre's picks, so if you pick quickly we might be able to catch Exman before he goes to bed, otherwise he'll make his pick in the morning.
  20. italstallianion
    RSFFL, your first pick was already taken. I could see Forsyth picking tonight, but it's not likely. Most likely he'd make his pick early in the morning. I'd have RSFFL and Dipre's pick, although I wouldn't make them until I wake up much later.
  21. italstallianion
    I only have RSFFL's pick at this point.
  22. italstallianion
    Forsyth is up next I think.
  23. italstallianion
    The NBA should give Scalabrine an extra point for every shot he makes. It'll let him think that he's contributing, and it'll remind the black players that they still won't be able to make as much as their white counterparts.
  24. italstallianion
    This reminds me of Ghostbusters when everyone tries to think of nothing. Suddenly WB picks the Stay Puft Marshmellow man.
  25. italstallianion
    WhiskeyBreath is up next. Thank god I don't want anyone or else he'd take him.
