Strictly a numbers pick!

PackerFanatic · 03-09-2011, 03:49 PM

1.12 - 1B Adrian Gonzalez, BOS
2.1 - OF Carl Crawford, BOS

And I'm not even really a Red Sox fan! Couldn't pass up on the two newcomers to Boston though.

2.4 - 1B - Ryan Howard - PHI

CleBrownsfan · 03-09-2011, 06:20 PM

2.5 3B David Wright - NYM

Seems like I have this guy every year

Suicane75 · 03-09-2011, 06:26 PM

As A Phillies fan I hope Howard has a big year, as a realist I think that was a stretch pick.

Travis · 03-09-2011, 06:35 PM

I wouldn't really argue with his production from last year in that spot. If he rebounds to something closer to his previous production I think it'd be a minor steal. Assuming he stays healthy I can't see him dropping off further than last year.

Obviously I suppose or I wouldn't have taken him

I think I'm going to just have to do my own spreadsheet to keep track of who gets picked

Well, that'll be tomorrow night or this weekend- pretty busy and I'm still sick.

Everyone remember to PM the person after you!

Ramzavail · 03-09-2011, 10:00 PM

spreadsheet created - tell me where to email it SI.

Danny · 03-09-2011, 10:04 PM

Yes!

2.8 C Joe Mauer

Was really hoping he would fall and an easy choice since we start two catchers.

sterlingice · 03-10-2011, 05:45 AM

2.9 3B Ryan Zimmerman, WAS

I thought that at most I'd have one of my 3B choices left but 3 were there instead.

SI

sterlingice · 03-10-2011, 05:49 AM

Spreadsheet might happen tonight- we'll see how much time I have. Draft pool has been updated through 2.9, tho

SI

samifan24 · 03-10-2011, 08:21 AM

I might suggest making the spreadsheet a viewable Google Doc so we can all access it from anywhere

sterlingice · 03-10-2011, 08:41 AM

Sounds like a good plan.

Ramzavail has about 20 minutes left. I'm pretty slammed at work so someone will probably have to make the pick at that time if he doesn't. I'll send another PM as I did this morning.

Highest rated player on the Yahoo list right now is Chase Utley.

SI

Ramzavail · 03-10-2011, 08:46 AM

Mets fans don't take Chase Utley.

give me a minute, plus just b/c you get up at 645am, doesn't mean the clock should start at that time

Ramzavail · 03-10-2011, 08:59 AM

2.10 Alex Rodriguez, 3B, NYY

Spreadsheet sent to SI.

samifan24 · 03-10-2011, 09:35 AM

2.11 2B Dustin Pedroia, BOS

PurdueBrad · 03-10-2011, 10:31 AM

Man, thank you for picking A-Rod earlier because this was shaping up to my all-hatred team. Still not thrilled and wanted to go with two huge reaches here just to have people to root for but I won't. So, here goes nothing:

2.12 OF Josh Hamilton, TEX
3.1 1B (and eventual 3B) Kevin Youkilis, BOS

And the Boiler Up fans all shout "YOUUUUUUK!" Which is much better than the usual "You suck" that I'm likely to hear.

Danny · 03-10-2011, 10:37 AM

3 players on my list, 3 picks before me, don't them all!

samifan24 · 03-10-2011, 11:12 AM

3.2 LF Nelson Cruz, TEX

Suicane75 · 03-10-2011, 11:23 AM

Sweet Marie do I love Nelson Cruz. If he stays healthy all year he's gonna be a friggin machine.

Ramzavail · 03-10-2011, 11:25 AM

the Mets traded Nelson Cruz for Jorge Velandia.

Suicane75 · 03-10-2011, 11:29 AM

His health worries me, too. Then again, if he's healthy, he's a beast.

sterlingice · 03-10-2011, 11:51 AM

3.4 1B Prince Fielder, MIL

Hate picking a 1B this early, but he's hard to pass up *insert buffet table joke here*

SI

Suicane75 · 03-10-2011, 12:03 PM

Nah, but it counts as an "overnight" pick since it was made before 8am so that means the clock does end at 10am.

SI

3.5 sp tim lincecum

Not sure how quickly he'll see it, but I PM'd Danny to let him know Lincecum has already been picked.

Danny · 03-10-2011, 12:36 PM

Crap he was talen already, ok looking again. Hard to check on my phone and site is blocked at work

Danny · 03-10-2011, 12:37 PM

Fielder was the guy I really wanted

PurdueBrad · 03-10-2011, 12:44 PM

Danny, if it helps, you can draft me. I haven't been picked yet, surprisingly. You can even just copy and paste this:

PurdueBrad, 3B, Summer School Co-Ed over 30 softball team.

Suicane75 · 03-10-2011, 12:49 PM
