    I also have Y228's pick so when Keeper makes his pick, I can make Y228's pick and it'd be JBay's turn.
  2. italstallianion
    Keeper is now on the clock.

    http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2005/01/chicago-white-sox.html Scroll down to Paul Konerko.

    I saw him at 12 million on Cot's.
  5. italstallianion
    We can call him Bartolo Calzone.

    By the way, has anyone seen Jacoby Ellsbury around here recently?
  7. italstallianion
    Not to mention the fact that not everyone has the same criteria. I'm the only one here that thinks the way that I do, so just because I think of something, doesn't mean that anyone else will. It's not like there's a grading rubric where anyone can fill it out to determine who the best team is. Edit: So in summation, don't worry about it.

    A better example would be someone like Pat Burrell. He did HORRIBLE in Tampa Bay and subsequently said that he hated DH'ing, and he did well before and after Tampa Bay in the National League (Philly and San Fran). So if someone drafts him and puts him at DH, that might pose a problem.

    That's not what I meant. What I meant was that if a player (such as a closer) doesn't want to be a setup man or a middle reliever for their real team, and only wants to close, then there might be something against drafting him if you've already drafted a closer. My point was that for many reasons, it wouldn't be wise to build your bullpen using a bunch of closers. Salary, ego, general ineffectiveness outside of the closer role etc.

    Anyway, Jacoby Ellsbury is now up.
  12. italstallianion
    Not to mention that fantasy drafts don't count defense, or nearly as strict positional alignment.

    Thanks for making your pick A700. WhiskeyBreath is up.

    It's a combination of both. For example, it's not like fantasy sports where you have to win specific categories, so you won't have to worry about holds, but while ERA/WHIP/K:BB would be important for a bullpen, it wouldn't be a wise strategy to build your bullpen entirely out of closers. First off, that would likely run you dry in salary, but most closers want to be closers and nothing else, so you'd have a tough time getting a lot of those closers to "accept" bullpen roles. That said, it'd be wise to delegate your setup/middle relief roles to actual setup and middle relief players. Putting a closer at middle relief may be tantamount to putting a catcher in the outfield.

    Jeremy Hellickson.
  17. italstallianion
    You're up a700.
  18. italstallianion
    True, at the moment I'm not, but I go back and forth all of the time.
  19. italstallianion

    I'd be equally concerned about the salary hit, but you've been one of the few people that's been consistently under the cap average, so you did have some room to spare.
  21. italstallianion
    It's ok dude, it wasn't a huge wait and you still got your pick, so it's not like you were skipped and you missed picks or something. It's all good in the hood brother.
  22. italstallianion
    Besides RSFFL, it isn't a big deal, SoxfanForsyth and A700 are online so if you get your pick in we can get through their picks pretty quickly and we'd have made up lost time.
  23. italstallianion
    Haha, I wouldn't skip RSFFL just for the fact that he ripped on Comcast. Comcast is one of the things that I hate the most about this country, other than "Jersey Shore" and "Glee".
  24. italstallianion
    I'll be here. I'm just waiting on RSFFL to make his pick. C'mon man.
  25. italstallianion
    Always is, sounds good to me.
