2009 FOFC Hardcore League - Page 5

samifan24 · 02-26-2009, 11:10 AM

It's early for a pitcher, I'll say that much.

sterlingice · 02-26-2009, 11:26 AM

Same- pitchers seem more variable than hitters. That said, with an active league this deep with 12 teams, there aren't going to be #1 starting sitting around on the ww- so don't make that mistake either

SI

PackerFanatic · 02-26-2009, 11:39 AM

That was my thought. I'd much rather have at least 1 guy I know (or at least hope) I can rely on for the whole year, rather than a bunch of 2/3/4 starters.

Hey, if you're going to draft a pitcher this early, you might as well draft a good one.

sterlingice · 02-26-2009, 11:53 AM

Just got off the phone with MizzouRah- he's on the road so he can't post.

3.8 SP Cole Hamels

SI

Travis · 02-26-2009, 12:01 PM

3.9 Carl Crawford LF

Not sure how smart this pick is, but if this draft were two years ago I'd be kicking ass

sterlingice · 02-26-2009, 12:08 PM

Yahoo and thread updated: Toddzilla, sooner333, and DTR due up. Then those three in reverse order

SI

sterlingice · 02-26-2009, 12:24 PM

Should the rest of us start polishing up the resumes? First, PF is in danger of losing his job yesterday and today it's Toddzilla

SI

Travis · 02-26-2009, 12:39 PM

Hey SI, purely out of curiosity

do we have until the following pick to potentially change our mind or once it's posted is the pick locked?

sterlingice · 02-26-2009, 12:53 PM

To avoid crazy confusion (i.e. someone looking at the thread and making their next pick while the previous one was updated), it's supposed to be set in stone.

Really bad buyer's remorse?

Not so much buyer's remorse as it was having my pick narrowed down to 3 guys and trying to figure out who'd go between my picks, then nobody picking after me for a while so I keep having time to check and wonder if I picked the proper one.

Just being paranoid really

I hear ya, Travis. Part of the strategy is trying to decide which guys will still be available at your next pick.

cubboyroy1826 · 02-26-2009, 01:34 PM

Unless the next pick is made very fast, I'll probably be out of pocket for the next few hours.

Hey gents, I'll be around for about 10 more minutes. Anybody I can leave a short list with (preferably somebody picking in the 10-12 spots during the odd rounds) if 4.3 isn't made before I have to leave?

cubboyroy1826 · 02-26-2009, 06:00 PM

I will be around all night and checking frequently.

Travis · 02-26-2009, 06:01 PM

Just left my short list with Ronnie Dobbs2 so should be set.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 02-26-2009, 06:02 PM

You can't go wrong with a former MVP.

Ramzavail · 02-26-2009, 10:22 PM

thats what I figured. Plus I'm hoping some of those 47 doubles, might turn into 10 more HRs, this year.

sterlingice · 02-26-2009, 10:33 PM

I was going to try to not go pitching this early, but with it being avoided like the plague, gotta go with value (and one of my favorites)

4.7 Jake Peavy, SP

That said, if Vlad hadn't gone two ago, he'd have been here.

SI

samifan24 · 02-26-2009, 10:47 PM

Since we're after hours, it won't matter when CleBrownfan makes his pick in terms of how it affects me, right? What's the earliest I can be on the clock tomorrow?

Travis · 02-26-2009, 11:18 PM

Whoever is on the clock once "regular' hours being tomorrow has 2 hours to pick. So if 4 picks are made after hours, that 5th pick has 2 hours to start the day.

So for you sami, if CleBrownsfan picks before the clock starts you'll have 2 hours, if he picks after the clock starts in the morning then you'd have a full 6 (at least given my understanding of how the timer works.

That sounds right. Earliest on the clock will be 10 AM, CST.

In this economy how does Manny turn down 2 years and $45 million?

PackerFanatic · 02-27-2009, 08:25 AM

Because he's just another money-hungry athlete who doesn't give a damn.
