What are the chances that a NY draft would have 3 guys drafting in order named Mel Sal and Tony?

Probably the same as Gladys, Ethel, and Bertha at a bingo party.

Shouldn't # 4. Donn Johnson, be drafting out of ORLANDO being that he lives in MIAMI???



Where's Tubbs ???

Nobody else from PA, that's too bad. Good luck everyone. I'm the only one from NY1 last year.



-Craig K.



-Mace and Bailey's A-kickers

SWEET!!!!



just where i wanted to be!!!!!!!!!



Pujols at #10.....very nice!

Scott you take Pujols at ten I'm bringing Jersey Paul to sit right behind you...See you guys in a week !!!

P.s- Don't forget the blue !!! Maybe you'll take Schilling and Carpenter in the second and third !!! We can only hope !!!



Eddy Betancourt



12th spot 12th Kds dammit !!!

11th spot was 8th on my KDS. A lot of KDS conspiracy theories are going around.

I'm officially calling KDS the (K)iss of (D)eath (S)pot...



Thank goodness I"ve been mocking from 4 up to 8 since I got pick 12. I'm really ready to go now.



We'll here goes to another 72 hours straight of prepping !!!

I'll take Jeff Baker !!!!!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO !!!!!!



Scott I hope you slept it off and are now realizing that you have 16 pitchers on your team.You took 9 in a row at the end !!! You'll be a busy man on the 30th !!!

This league is definitely shaping up as one to watch.



I passed by this draft board to admire the work of Mr. Kielinski. Craig "sebadiah23" Kielisnki drafted the same two players I started my draft with (B.J. Upton and Jake Peavy), but somehow also got Ryan J. Braun as well. His 4th round pick was Corey C. Hart. Craig won his league last year, so when excellent players are afforded this sort of good fortune, it's cause for alarm for the other 389 of us.



To get back to the quote, I did notice the 9 pitchers in Rounds 22 to 30, but failed to notice that there were already 7 of them taken between Rounds 1 and 21. Somewhere there's a logical explanation for this.

Thanks KoQ. I saw that you got those guys plus Lee and Weeks too I think. Good start.



The funniest thing about Scott's team is that the team is possibly good enough to make up for him blacking out around the 19th round.



C- Martin, Posada

1B- Teixiera

2B- Utley

3B- Fields

SS- Greene

MI- (May be illegal)

CI- CPena

DH- Sheffield

OF- Bourn, Rowand, Ankiel, Kubel,

SP- Webb, Harang, Liriano, Meche

RP- Marmol, Sherrill



Post-blackout Freel, JBaker, JPatterson, Carpenter, Washburn, Bergmann, OHernandez, Howry, Riske, Laffey, Marshall.

Craig, Mike and I were saying the same thing if Scott woulda drafted some offense at the end , his team woulda been real strong.



Good luck everyone !!!!



Team Frozen Ropes

Eddy Betancourt

His MI spot is definitely illegal; I think he must have assumed that one of the two Jeff Bakers he drafted already qualifies at 2B.



CLOOOOOOSER RUUUN!!!!!

Good luck to everyone, especially the guys I had a chance to talk to, like Roy, Eddy and friend, Scott, John Kruk and Peter from Canada. Plus my silent nemisis from the other side of the table Donn Johnson. I cursed you outloud at least 5 times you punk.





-Craig

I gotta agree with everyone this is our first year and we had a blast and plan on being back every year.

The other priceless Scott moment was when he kept trying to draft Jeff Baker and Johnny Cuerto and combined them at one point and asked for Jeff Cuerto.

He also called him Jonathan Cuerto once too.



Hours earlier, Scott put on quite a hex when he declared that someone was faking an injury to not have to pitch in spring training.



That someone was John Lackey.

I forgot about his "veterns don't like to play in spring training" rant. I also heard him say in the bathroom he couldn't believe he got Sheffield in the 15th round. Which upon further review was the 8th I believe.

Okay let's get this message board going again !!!



This one is for Craig. :rolleyes:



Richie Weeks overated or underated.



Let's vote



Team Frozen Ropes vote Over-rated



So far



Richie Weeks

Over-rated - 1

Under-rated - 0



After we get this poll done we'll get Craig to post a poll. And than another owner of the league can do so too.



It's all in fun guys !!!

I posted about ten polls last year. I'm all about the polls.

Rickie will bat .260 with 24 homers, 40 steals, and an absurd amount of strikeouts. Book it.



Underrated!

Weeks is overrated, will kill BA,and always have to worry about him going on the DL. Look for 255avg-92 runs-23HR-85RBI-27SB

Richie Weeks NY League 1 Poll



Over-rated - 2

Under-rated - 1



Only 12 more owners to go !!!

Rickie Weeks is so overrated that Ben Afflect wants to use him in his next movie....

Hey Craig is 260 a good average for an underated player? damn if you said 290 that different ... I still think he will hit south of 250
