Winter Baseball Obsession

Here we go with tooting- Russell Branyan was offered an incentive laden contract with the Florida Marlins, where he would most likely be the starting 1B. If that comes to fruition, I just got 30+ HRs, and decent RBI #s in the 22nd round. He's obviously a flawed player who is almost guaranteed to be ...

20.9 Winter Kryptonite via text selects Kyle Lohse, SP, Stl

Obviously it would be a much larger # than what we agreed to on W.B.O., but I think a cap wouldn't be a bad idea. It would be one thing if all 12 owners were racking up similar 100+ transactions over the course of the season. Not married to the idea, but would certainly be open to it...

19.9 Happy Halladays via text select Ross Ohlendorf, SP, Pit

Yeah, being called ignorant when I was just asking if something counted towards a rule we set before the draft started isn't sitting really well with me. I wasn't implying anything with my post, I just wanted to know. You guys all really need to lighten up. Seriously. Consider me 10 pounds lighter ...

Being that I'm one of the quickest, and proactive drafters on this board, I take offense to the suggestion that I might somehow being slowing this thing down. It's certainly not the case from my perspective. I didn't think anyone was bring up time as an issue. As far as the spreadsheet goes, I have...

I am the unofficial "Trader Jack" of this board, and unapologetically so. The wheeling and dealing aspect of this draft has made the past 18 rounds significantly more fun for me, which ultimately is why we are doing this thing in the first place, right? Being that I'm one of the quickest, ...

Sheets signing with the A's has to affect some draft picks. Ducheserereererererere, Anderson...who else is affected? Just curious: how do you see this affecting Anderson's value, even a little bit? It doesn't- not a bit. If anything, makes him more valuable- team's more competitive with Sheets, lea...
