And the run of talented low ratio 8th inning studs starts...Now

Dammit Freezedog, I had Beachy's name typed in, then decided you wouldn't have let Pierzynski make it back to me. Although I don't hate Pierzynski's 18 bombs at catcher this late in the draft.

You sonuvabitch! You stole my Zimmerman handcuff. I knew I should've taken him first, then Gausman. I have only myself to blame.

Hah, I would have taken Peirzynski there...I was bummed you took him too. Although beachy has bigger upside.

Man, I liked this pick better when I thought it was Bill Parcells' kid.* **

*because it was funny.
**and because I kinda almost took Porcello with my last pick and now regret passing.

FREEZEDOG

Please send me your email address (I can't figure out this fucking site), or write to me at mikeullrich1@gmail.com.

I have a trade offer that may work for both of our teams.

I'm looking to deal one of my OFs for a SP. Anyone interested?

Is there really a huge need to shorten the pick window to two hours? I get as eager for my pick as the next guy but two hours is a really tight window. I move for keeping it at three, at least for another 5 rounds or so.

I was curious how everyone felt about this- I posted it pre-draft, and no one stated any concerns at that point. If we can have a handful of other team members agree with Freeze's perspective, than I'd be happy to move it back to 3 hours. My personal preference (and I think Amato shares this) is to move it to two, and finish out the draft over the next week to join up Yahoo ASAP.

What say other league members- 2 or 3 others is all I need to see to slow it back to 3 hour windows.

Put me down for the 3-hour window.

3 is bueno

I'm fine with two. I don't see how keeping the window longer is going to help. It seems to me those getting jumped are getting jumped pretty consistently and have been even when the window was four or even six hours. Let's wrap this shit up.

Since we have a mixed response, let's meet in the middle with the time limits. 21-25 will go back to 3 hour, and we will finish the draft out 26-30 with 2 hour limits. If anyone objects loud enough on here, I'd be open to reconsider.

%$!@#$*$#@!!

I mean...nice pick, Freezedawg.

Nothing like an angry manager to validate a pick...thank you Heggos

YankeeManiac...sorry I didn't see your trade offer sooner. Would've probably taken it. If you have another offer, send it my way.
