Draft Chat

[heggos]

Starting this thread since we don't have one yet, but also as a reminder to

PLEASE CHECK THE GOOGLE DOC (Taillon has already been selected).

On a different topic, how the mighty (namely, Tulo and Joey Bats) have fallen--or at least gotten old.

And when is someone going to pull the trigger on the massive upside of Yasiel Puig?

[Scrantonicity]

Puig's fantasy stock has plummeted. Could see him lasting quite a while longer, unless someone views him as a lottery ticket. 16 teams X 3 roster OFs = 48 starting OF slots. Of course you could always slot him in at Util too. So my guess is that he will probably land on one team's starting roster.

Why does everyone just keep giving there picks to Mowery? You have four hours to make a pick, you don't have to get frustrated 20 minutes in and simply give it away.

[Scrantonicity]

Freeze, there is no charitable give aways going on here. Every trade I have made has required me to deal a significantly larger trade gap later in the draft. Clearly, in Amato's case, he values the middle round over the earlier rounds (which is clearly my preference). As long as these deals aren't slowing the draft up, I don't see how anyone could have a problem with picks being dealt.

Does anyone remember the command to search a google doc? Like Al-7 or something like that? I've attempted to google it and ironically I've been unsuccessful. Finding only the "search and replace" option.

I realize that says more about my incompetence than Google but whatever.

thx.

Hernan Perez 2b?/3b/of.

HerPe played 11 games at 2b last year. Will he get Yahoo eligibility or does it take 15 the year before?

As always,

5 games started or 10 games played.

Hernan shall be 2B eligible.

12.8 Aaron Nola SP

12.11 Vincent Velasquez SP PHI

My Phillies heart broken in the span of 3 picks.

Based on the spreadsheet and trades listed 12.14 is YankeeManiacs pick it appears.

[heggos]

Trade announcement: Yankee Maniac deals 13.13, 30.4 & 30.9 to Scrantonicity for 16.9, 18.4 & 25.8

With pick 13.13, Scrantonicity selects: JA Happ, SP, TOR

I'd be more annoyed with Brandon's wheelin'-dealin' if he were actually trading up to get good players.

Let's see, I just landed a 20 game winner and the guy who ranked 6th in the AL Cy Young with the 205th pick. So, yeah, clearly no value there.

For the record, it takes two to tango, and although it may seem like it, I am not always initiating these deals. Just want to throw that out there.

"I am not always initiating these deals."

Brandon, does "not always" mean 5% of the time you get approached?

It's a higher # than that. Not going to say it's a 50-50 proposition, but it's a substantially higher percentage than 5%.

Happ is an entirely appropriate pick here, though I'd be happy (Happ-y?) to take the under on 15 wins this year if you're interested in a side bet. Mostly I'm just giving you crap, because the draft chat needs a little more juice.

[dbisbee]

So much for thinking the draft will pick up speed today.

[dbisbee]

I may be interested to deal Jean Segura if someone is looking for a solid SS/2B. I'm interested in a SP or an OF. If you're interested, send an email to mrdbisbee@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Dave

15.14 Nomar Mazara, OF, TEX

Damnit. For some reason I crossed him off my list thinking he'd been taken.

Nice get in the 15th, Freeze.

20.10 - Daniel Norris (SP - Tigers)

I missed having him on my list somehow. Love the value here.
