mania Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 you know how they say don't pick for need, pick the best available. can't really do that here, you have to pick for need, especially at this point. you got a roster to fill up.I agree, to an extent. There are a few positions that I know I can wait on, because I don't see that much of a difference between what's available (say... #10 at the position) and would be at #15, because I don't think anybody will take any backups until they fill out the rest of their roster a little more, giving me some time before I have to allocate a pick to that position.

Dexter Morgan Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Alright, I'm going to go watch the Daily Show and fall asleep.Night all, bruschimania I sent you a short list picks. Unless tonight/tomorrow goes as slow as today did, I likely won't be around to make my selection next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 BTW, I just made a small change to the spreadsheet, every position on the By Position page is now alphabetized. I think it will be easier to see if the player you want is taken now. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDubK414 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yeah I agree. I'm not giving any secrets away, but you both are right. The first 2 rounds were easy, but with that I'm sure all of us were seeing our dream players quickly dropping off the boards. Since then it's been kind of a combo BA/need. Like Dexter said, need is probably a little bit of emphasis in these middle rounds. Boudreau wasn't on my early board. I had Yount, but then he got taken 3 picks before me. The good thing is that it made me think a little harder, and quite pleasantly a few very good players fell into my lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks for the good pick Dex. I'm sorry, but things weren't moving and I went out to dinner and when I was out I realized that I didn't check in but thought that even if someone selected at 5:30pm EST, I still had a chance to make a pick after I got back. Actually, I love the pick. Thanks again Dex, and I was fine with whomever you drafted for me because it was my responsibility to check in and get a list to someone, and I don't have a problem with you making the pick for me to speed up the draft today.

nash61 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Since it went unnoticed the first time, I'll post it again.The Modesto Nuts are for sale!I'm going to be going to camp soon, and won't be able to run a team. Should I not find a buyer, I may fold and redisburse the players into the draft.

He hasn't been online all day.I'm going to be away today all day as well, although I did forward my picks to someone as I did yesterday.Where I am has no AC and its just too hot to be sitting in front of a computer waiting to my a selection, and I don't have a smart phone.I should be back full time Sunday at which point I will be accepting picks from people who want to forward them, but right now as you can probably tell I'm just not around that much, so don't send me anything.

knnhrvy16 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm glad Robin Roberts fell to me - I'm really starting to get lucky as my targets are starting to fall in my lap. I know some people will scratch thier head at Roberts' W-L and strikeouts, but the fact of the matter is that 1) with the exception of the "Whiz Kids" of 1950, Roberts pitched for usually bad teams, and 2) Roberts wasn't a strikeout pitcher, anyways. He challenged the batters to put the ball in play. While strikeouts are obviously great, it's outs, in any way, shape, or form, that matter first and foremost. Also, as seen by my selection of Don Sutton earlier, I like the durable "workhorse" pitchers. Robin Roberts was the premier workhorse of his era. From 1950-1955, he posted the following: 138-78 W-L, 24 ShO, 161 Complete Games, 232 Games Started, 1,937 IP, 964 SO, and a 2.93 ERA. That's stepping up with effort, if you ask me. I'm treating this as a real team here - I want to draft pitchers that are going to give thier all on the mound.And Cool Papa was another pick I was glad to obtain. A switch-hitting speed demon (believed to have been the fastest man in baseball at the time) centerfielder who was reported to have accumulated a .350 avg. over 25+ seasons - that's remarkable. He'll definetely bat leadoff for me. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

Jahgee Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I can't believe Dizzy Dean was available, he had the last 30 win season in the NL, and I wanted one player from the Roid Era on my roster, so I went with Palmeiro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
