Just when I thought you had hit bottom!

Still spots open on 2/21- where are you?

With the 8 pick, I do not have specific selection earmarked for round 1 in mind. It is my thought that as a draft progresses, picking in the middle has advantages that even outweigh having one of the first 2-3 picks. Runs are not a concern. You typiclally have players you feel have slipped for every pick. I have drafted on the edges twice and here are problems there. Just what problems arise at the ends? The ends normally START the runs! Give me A-Rod any day and I'll still have two strong players on the 1st turn!

Still spots open on 2/21- where are you? Once again, your inability to grasp simple concepts has made you seem dull. I was simply applying CC's logic (and, by extension, Greg's rankings) to Viper's derby picks. Personally, I don't see Cabrera as any kind of a first round pick, unless, by some miracle, he gets traded to the Red Sox. Or any number of teams that aren't the Marlins.

greg - i've looked at the participants for this league, and i believe i can simply allow the mockdraft.com application to select my players, and i'd still have a team that will dominate.

Stop being so mean spirited- a 7th round pick though? Dang your complex math that goes over my head again baffles me.

My bad as I forgot to send Jason the draft order yesterday afternoon. He now has that and will send out the invitations with the draft URL this morning. My fault for the delay.

See you guys tomorrow and feel free to load your draft lists on the site beforehand. Be there on time and we'll cruise through this thing, with me providing the smack talk on the side.

Well, I know Rockwell and friends are competing, so I see your point, but have you looked at their rankings? They are pretty messed up.

This stuff always cracks me up. Like anyone is going to remember or care about what anyone took in a January draft.
