The 15th is my 1st choice ... 29th is 2nd

I have the 1st 24 rounds of our draft on Excel ... I'd be happy to forward it to anybody that's interested. If so, just post your e-mail address and I'll shoot it over.

Hey Marty ... we took Dice K in the 5th - maybe a round or 2 early, but in retrospect it looked like he went in the 5th or 6th in most NY drafts. Now whether he warrants that high of a pick is another story, but we have high expectations for him. I thought Cain in the 5th was high as well, but he ha...

Most NYC leagues had 14 or 15 owners present I believe ... a few leagues including mine (NY 7) had one owner drafting via phone. There was no adverse impact at all - in fact, I didn't realize someone was drafting via phone until after a few rounds. Overall, the weather was much better on Saturday mo...

Spy - last year Grady Sizemore was OWNED in 95% of the leagues the entire season ... I'm not sure who was in that league, but that's inexplicable.

Fightin - I am in NY league 1 and nothing of the sort happened ... Vlad and Tex were early 1st rounders and Cabrera was the 3rd pick of the 2nd. They are on 3 separate teams.

"If you think having a high score is great, you are mistaken. It means you drafted conservatively. You drafted players based on last year stats and this years draft position. When A player slips a couple of rounds, you saw it as an opportunity. When others might see it as downside in a player. The ...

Hey Kevin and Rich - I was picking 10 in NY1 ... the closer run was incredible - I took Fuentes much earlier than I expected (and could regret it) ... Kevin - I took D Wright at 10 right before you (I was surprised he was there in a NY league). I like your Young/Rollins SS tandem. Rich - I agree wit...

Dave Roberts was taken at least 6 rounds earlier in our NY draft ... nice pick in the 15th!

The closer run in NY 1 was frantic ... if I remember correctly at least 30 closers were gone by the end of round 10. I believe Wickman and Dempster were drafted in the 7th round.

viper - in NY 1 Sheets went early in the 5th round

Same exact thing happened with my satellite team ... I e-mailed Tom. I figure it will be corrected next week ...

Snord - I'd give it a 4 out of 10 ... saves and WHIP will be near the top, ERA solid, but K's could be a problem (even with Johan)



Offensively, it's a bad scene! Batting average could be ok, but HR, RBI, SB will be bottom 5. At best Runs could be upper half.

I think it's a great idea. It combines the luck of the draw with a degree of personal preference.

I guess my $109 bid on T Clark was a bit aggressive, eh? it hurts when u see no other bid!! .... still have over $500 FAAB tho ... Bad combination: desparately needing power and frustration over losing several FA's by a small margin .... stings!
