Draft Chat 2013

Who's the commissioner here?

I have changed the number of posts that are displayed from 50 to 17. The 50 posts pers page were taking forever to load on my cell phone, especially with the images, flash motion and vids. This should help the loading time for each page. I assume others who use cell phones may have encountered this as well.

The reason why I chose 17 per page is because most picks from each round will tabbed under the corresponding page number. Eg. Most of the 6th round picks will be logged onto page 6. This will make it easier in the draft to find previous posts; just click on the page number of the round you want to see and will take you there.

That's message board administrator info, homey. Just keepin the web clean and productive.

All your Reds are belong to Fncforsyth.

In all seriousness, I was looking at Choo here too.

I'd like to nominate myself for the worst pick of the draft so far.

7.3 Yankee Maniac selects Josh Johnson to be his FIFTH STARTER. Rotation Complete.

You went exactly the opposite strategy that I did. It will be interesting to see how the rosters fill up. Maybe matched up well to trade.

I second that nomination. Alcides is sweet with his base stealing skills, but could have waited 2+ rounds on him.

If anyone wants to move down to pick 7.13, throw a text my way with a pick trade offer. I'd like to pick as soon as possible but will only be able to complete the trade when your pick this round comes up to make sure my guy is available.

To clarify. I am trying to move UP from my spot at 7.13.

I was pretty damn happy to see the Alcides pick as I was locked in on Ethier and anyone one of 3 or 4 closers after Austin Jackson and Motte went. Thought you might take a look at him Josh, but instead you took what will likely be the most memorable pick of the draft. Luckily for me! That stretch only saw 2 OFers and one RP go. Loved that run of SP's, Shortstops, and First Baseman! Although the Romo pick was annoying as that is the closer I would have ultimately drafted had he been there.

You might not be able to see him, but Anthony Rizzo is waving at you from the 4th round.

Not to speak of ill of anyone's picks that aren't volunteering themselves for ridicule, but I'll cryptically state that there was a certain slugger that was drafted in the sixth round that had no business being among the top 108 players IMHO.

Is he fat and limping?

[YankeeManiac]

7.5 - Michael Morse OF - Hopefully the Yankees (hopefully at 1b for 5 games)

Indeed.

I love to talk shit...so I invite comments. While I have the youngest team in a non-keeper league I am willing to make a side wager that Rizzo finishes with more fantasy value than Starlin Castro. How about $20?

If we can agree on a way to determine value, I'm game.

Sure, Rizzo could go off...but at such a deep position, and with some of the names that are still out there: Hosmer, Konerko, Hart. I think you could've gotten Rizzo at least 3 or 4 rounds later, is all I'm saying.

[Clown Baby]

Agree to disagree...I would also point out that you took Starlin in the second and Desmond went like 3 or 4 rounds later who will probably outplay him across the board other than batting average. As for our bet we could go by standard scoring 5x5 league ranking from one of the major sites.

Anyone want to bet the league fee on any of the games this weekend?

9.13 Giant Knockers select Alexi Ogando RP Texas

Nice pick Dan!... Ogando is slated to be a SPer thou, right?
