I already had a 1B or I would have picked him last round. I figured he was a nice bargain pick for whoever got him.

Lathum · 03-07-2008, 06:11 PM

I would have taken him but Hafner instead

LOL - I had him slotted in round 21, so I was a tad surprised too.

Sophomore season this year I think? Other than that, he had a stellar year last year.

Toddzilla · 03-07-2008, 08:11 PM

I'm going to bed - is this supposed to continue over the weekend, or is the next *required* pick on Monday?

sterlingice · 03-07-2008, 08:44 PM

It continues over the weekend between 8 and 10. However, the timer doesn't reset in the morning so that picks have to be made at 9/10. So, for instance, the next pick has to be made by around 10ish tomorrow because it will have been 4 hours tonight and 2 tomorrow.

SI

Toddzilla · 03-07-2008, 09:04 PM

Cool - if I'm up and not around, you've got a guy to pick for me if need be - but I'll be checking in.

Thanks a million for running the show btw - great job so far!

sterlingice · 03-07-2008, 09:17 PM

I have a pretty busy weekend with in-laws in town and being on call but hopefully we can still move the draft a little. I'm sure lots of people have similarly busy weekends.

FYI, If people don't get their picks in and I'm not awake tomorrow morning, here are the next 3 players on Yahoo's list:
RP Joe Nathan
CF Chris Young
2B Ian Kinsler

The next pick is due at 10:15am (CT) tomorrow morning and if there is no pick by then, Pool Parties will get Joe Nathan and the draft will move on. But we're only halfway through the time so I'm sure we'll move some.

SI

sterlingice · 03-07-2008, 09:19 PM

Also, remember, if you know you'll be out, you can submit a list or partial list. If I or someone else gets a partial list and all the players are gone by the time a pick is due, then the clock starts and nothing is lost.

That said, I don't really plan on being awake at 10:15am tomorrow morning if I can help it.

7.10 SP John Smoltz

sterlingice · 03-08-2008, 12:05 PM

I hate to go closer in H2H but he's the last elite one since Nathan runs a good risk of being dealt and you know someone like the Yankees would go "he's a great closer, so let's have him pitch the 7th for us".

Not only that, but last year, there were never closers in the WW pool and it's going to be even worse this year when you can go 3 closers with that P spot so everyone expecting to pick up cheap saves in rounds 20+ is going to find out that everyone else is...

I'm heading out for a couple of hours- need to run a couple of errands before the inlaws arrive, but worst case scenario is that my next pick will be around 3pm. But that means allpro, Lathum, Lathum, allpro, and detox will have had to pick by then...
