Draft Chat 2014

[heggos]

Thanks for setting this up, GState. Or do you prefer "Mr. Jester"?

[freezedawg2002]

I just want to let it be known that 7 of the players on the Public Enemy #1 final roster last year were drafted in the first 35 picks of this draft, not to mention three more that were traded throughout the year.

[freezedawg2002]

Pretty happy with Reyes at pick 3.11 but I almost took Kipnis instead of Darvish with my second pick only to have him last 21 picks and get swooped one pick before my third pick. In this draft format you are literally waiting days to draft someone it sucks that much more when they get picked. Good pick Dan.

[buxton91107]

Thanks Freeze. Just so you know. I was set to pick Darvish in round 2 before you yanked him from me. And my round 1 toss up was between Carlos Gonzalez and Adam Jones. We think too much alike to be picking back to back.

[mullrich]

Whoa, S-man! That is an insane 2009 roster you are compiling over there.

[gstatejester]

It has been over 24 hours since Mendoza was supposed to pick. Can someone make sure he is not dead? I'm less concerned about his well being and more worried about his next pick starting to creep up on us.

[freezedawg2002]

Dan, I must ask we're you also considering AGON with that last pick? I noticed you immediately took a first baseman after my pick. I was struggling between the two I decided to go with my heart.

[buxton91107]

I was considering AGon Freeze. But ultimately i had already decided on Hosmer. Probably similar stats. AGon probably hits a few more HR and RBI. Similar BA. Hosmer should steal 10-15 bags. That was the deciding factor for me. Plus he's only 23 so upside is possible. My heart picked AGon too though

Brandon- I never cashed the $30 check you sent me. I have it and I'll rip it up and consider it Ullrich's entry fee if he hasn't sent it yet.

Ullrich, you owe me 30 bucks or I can take it out of what I owe for football. Let me know if this makes sense to y'all. It struck me as simplest for everyone.

[Polanco's huge head]

4.13 - Ryan Zimmerman, the guy I always pick and am never satisfied with, also 3B

I always avoid him so I didn't know his stats. Surprised to see he actually had a pretty decent year last year.

S-Man is still on the clock until 1:00 PM today. He has two picks so he has two 6 hour windows to make his picks. So LuCroy is still on the board and S-Man is still on the clock. Please nobody else pick until 1:00 or S-Man makes his picks.
Thank you.

EDIT: If I understand the rules correctly, because 5.15 was made before 9pm PST (at 7:56pm), S-Man was passable at 7:56am this morning (allowing 6 hours each for his two picks).

For further clarification, S-Man's first pick window started at 7:56PM, and he was officially delinquint 6 hours from that point at 1:56AM. Our rules have the drafting "hours" from 7AM to 9PM, so as Buxton previously pointed out, S-Man isn't skip-able until his current window, which started at 7AM and would end at 1PM is up. Minor speed bump these pick are- I'm confident S-Man, and any others who have had a series of slow picks, will pick up the pace and check in from time to time.

Let's keep the draft chat over here:

I'm now all in on the Amato school of drafting, just take as many players from your favorite team as possible
5.9- Dom Brown- of- Phighten Phils

Except I don't own a single Yankee

[ucancallmedavis]

Sorry Amato, just meant in past years, lol. Just kidding around of course. Sorry bud.

[Vogel]

I didn't think I'd ever say this, but I'm interested in trading up.... anyone want to talk?

[dbisbee]

Vogel: I'm on deck. What are you offering?

[Vogel]

Mowery sent me your #, I'll send you a text.
