Hope CBF shows up soon. Still too early to be getting auto picks.

sterlingice · 03-09-2012, 07:59 PM

Sorry caught up in the KU game. Looks like CBF is online so he gets 5 minutes to post in the thread

CleBrownsfan · 03-09-2012, 08:02 PM

Im on... I was looking and then my kid woke up (he's sick and is no fun!)

6.5 Josh Johnson SP

Travis · 03-09-2012, 08:06 PM

6.6 - C - Joe Mauer - Min

ntndeacon · 03-09-2012, 08:22 PM

6.7 RP Craig Kimbrel ATL

Time for my homer pick

Comey · 03-09-2012, 08:33 PM

That is a brilliant pick. It was also going to be my pick. Oh well.

Comey · 03-09-2012, 08:38 PM

Might as well make my first homer pick.

6.8 SS Jimmy Rollins, PHI

Danny · 03-09-2012, 08:48 PM

Looks like I am going with a similar strategy this year as last year (with some slight adjustments based on what I learned last year). I still think it can work as long as not every hitter on my team either gets hurt or has a down year. We will see lol

6.10 OF Shane Victorino, PHI

PackerFanatic · 03-10-2012, 12:30 AM

Good pick with Josh Johnson...had hoped he might slip a little more.

sterlingice · 03-10-2012, 07:53 AM

Ok, just a reminder that there is no opening clock time limit on the weekend. As the pick was made overnight, TRO has until 12 noon ET.

I'm going to be out for the next few hours but should be back early afternoon. Anyone going to be around that I can send a list to?

7.2 LF/CF Desmond Jennings TB

Comey · 03-10-2012, 11:28 AM

I sent a list to ntndeacon, as he picks after me. I have to head out for the afternoon, but I will try to view things throughout, to stay current.

Can I send my list to someone else, just in case he isn't around (I'm using the logic that, as he picks after me, it's likely he may check in sometime this afternoon)?

samifan24 · 03-10-2012, 11:49 AM

7.3 SP Mat Latos, CIN

PackerFanatic · 03-10-2012, 01:29 PM

I am around today, Comey, so feel free to send to me. I am up 10th in this round.

ntndeacon · 03-10-2012, 01:58 PM

I am around so I should be ok to take Comey's pick

sterlingice · 03-10-2012, 04:38 PM

hey, guys autopicks include me, too. If I'm not here for 3 hours, autopick for me, as well.

I'm still out and about so I don't remember much off of my list but I believe he was at the top:

7.4 of shin soo-choo, cle

7.6 CF B.J. Upton TB

Travis · 03-10-2012, 06:36 PM

7.7 - 2B - Dan Uggla - ATL

Danny · 03-10-2012, 06:45 PM

Uggla is real nice pick here. He was bad for me last year, but he should rebound

sterlingice · 03-10-2012, 06:52 PM

Yeah, I think Uggla is a nice bargain now and I was thinking about him with each of the last two picks I went OF

SI

Danny · 03-10-2012, 07:04 PM

What is our rules for obtaining additional positional eligibility?

I would assume whatever Yahoo gives us. This is what I found on their site about it: How is position eligibility established? | Fantasy Baseball Help

Same here - definitely a good pick at this point.

CleBrownsfan · 03-10-2012, 08:12 PM

7.8 Asdrubal Cabrera SS

Another homer pick

sterlingice · 03-10-2012, 08:36 PM

Yeah, but not a bad one. Was thinking about him with my picks, too

SI

Travis · 03-10-2012, 08:40 PM

If its the same as previous season I think it's 5 starts or 10 appearances at a position before they gain eligibility.

Danny · 03-10-2012, 09:03 PM

Cadrubal was near the top of my list for my upcoming picks, good choice.

Danny · 03-10-2012, 09:03 PM

And yes, that's what I call him lol

MizzouRah · 03-10-2012, 09:21 PM

7.9 Aramis Ramirez 3B MIL

Danny · 03-10-2012, 10:20 PM

Hopefully I can make my picks tonight so I won't have to worry about waking up before 1pm tomorrow.

PackerFanatic · 03-10-2012, 11:20 PM

Sorry, Danny - got caught up in a movie.

7.10 Carl Crawford, OF, BOS

As much as he bummed me out last year, I have a feeling that he is the type of guy that won't let that happen again. I can dream at least, right?

sterlingice · 03-10-2012, 11:36 PM

So long as he's not too hurt

SI

sterlingice · 03-10-2012, 11:39 PM

sterlingice · 03-10-2012, 11:40 PM

I'm going to make the executive decision that the draft tomorrow morning starts at 10am instead of 9am so we don't lose an hour due to spring forward

SI

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-11-2012, 09:28 AM

will be making my pick in a couple of minutes

sterlingice · 03-11-2012, 09:42 AM

I have a list for Danny so we can keep this moving. Make your pick, LWSFS and then I'll make Danny's two picks and it's back to you

SI

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-11-2012, 09:48 AM

7.11 Alex Rodriguez 3B NYY

sterlingice · 03-11-2012, 09:49 AM

He was the other player I was strongly considering. I don't think he is falling off a cliff as fast as he did last year so I think this is going to be a good bounceback year for him, more in line with the previous 2
