Thanks. Yes he is. But he should have RP eligibility

Willing to trade my Next Pick (10.11).... looking for a late 10th round/early 11th pick in return, and upgrade(s) in the middle rounds (11th-15th rounds)

Hit me up if you are interested.

10.9 - Rafael Soriano - RP Washington

I already put together a package of picks that I was going to offer to grab Soriano with the next pick. Gotta love getting guys like this when they pop up on Rotoworld. Great pick!

10.11- Davis selects- 2b Chase Utley

Could be the best pick of the draft. Time will tell.

10.11- Davis selects- 2b Chase Utley

I cant seperate these two, they are like PB&J, Batman and Robin, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, just so much better together!

I'm not saying it is a bad pick, but I think your metaphors are foreboding:
*Jelly is just the worst
*There have been five Robins because they keep getting killed
*I'm pretty sure DJ Jazzy Jeff works only weddings and bar mitzvahs now

I was completely oblivious to the deal, then after I suddenly received a handful of trade offers seemingly out of the blue including that one that I had basically accepted in my mind I realized why everyone wanted the pick. Lucky break on my part...

He's not called Mean Friend Mike for nothing.

Just a reminder to everyone, having entered the 11th round, we are now looking at 4 hour windows:

We will still have a 7am to 9pm draft window.
If picks are selected after 9pm, the clock will start for the next person at 7am the next day.
For rounds 1-10 we will have 6 hours to make a pick.
For rounds 11-15, we will have 4 hours to pick.
For rounds 16-20 we will have 3 hours per pick.
For rounds 21-27 we will have 2 hours per pick.

Do the rules bar collusion? If not, I suggest we all vow not to trade Amato any offensive players.

Trade for offensive players? Nah. That's what rounds 20-27 of the draft are for me.

The spreadsheet and the first post in the draft thread don't agree. Which one is correct? It's either Amato's pick or Davis' pick. But the 4 hour window is up, so Mendoza can go whenever he likes.

[Scrantonicity]

Spreadsheet is correct- Davis on the clock

[Vogel]

Well at least this isn't confusing...

[Scrantonicity]

Josh- I fail to understand why it ultimately matters to you? You aren't potentially in the mix for the pick, so it has zero impact on your situation. The 4 hour window would apply to everyone, so regardless of who is possessing the pick, it's very clear that it's the next teams pick. I've put a lot of time updating and moving this draft along, and it's frankly kind of annoying to get called out on something that's so minor. Obviously I need to update the first post regarding some of the recent deals- you'll get it soon...

[Vogel]

Not calling you out, it's just the same conversation we have every year about pick trades. I dislike them. I don't participate in it. End. of. story.

I don't like Vampire Fiction. I think its pretty lame and don't get why people love it so much. This is an opinion I pretty much keep to myself, unless someone asks me about it. I know other people really enjoy it and it totally floats their boats and ultimately, it doesn't really affect me. So I don't volunteer my opinion about how True Blood is stupid, unsolicited. If I went on Facebook everytime a new Twilight movie cameout to bash it, Twilight fans would think I was a real douche. They'd be like, "what's his deal?!". Sometimes its better to keep certain opinions to yourself, especially if they are critical.

On a different topic, some people really, really like to make trades.
