Anyone complaing about their draft pick is a little bitch.



You can win from any spot, easily. The #1 pick can (at best) get it right and pick the #1 overall player. Everyone else in the first round has a chance to pick a player who is better than they should get.



If you fail to pick that player, you're probably a sheep who followed ADP or a crappy manager who failed to identify value or injury risk. If these things are true, why would you think having a different pick changes that? You're donating money anyway if you can't value players or make creative picks and put a team together.



At #15 slot your job is to find value and build a team with stats you can't find as easily later. So you get Manny Ramirez instead of Pujols? Ok, find a way to make up the .20 batting avg. and 10 runs, 5 HR and 15 RBI... guess what you get to pick again so make it count. Pick something that the guys picking top 5 can't find in the same quantity and off we go - look at you, you're drafting.



Stop being little whiny schoolgirls and spend your time studying how to build a team. If you fail at the end of the draft you'd have failed anywhere else, too. You just have a pretty little excuse to make yourself feel better.



Nice job, princess...

DYV, I think you have the wrong thread again. People want to talk about AROD's draft slot here.



Try the NFFC slow draft thread. They may take you.

Every year we have the various draft slot factions celebrating, debating fairness, recommending changes, complaining and then complaining ABOUT the complaining. :D



We all know it's just fodder to kill time 'til draft day.



FYI - I searched images for fodder, and this came up first. Don't know why, don't care. But all of a sudden I like fodder. I think we could use some fodder at the draft table.

You know what else is fascinating?



My daughter (13) scored 11 goals in one day in her indoor soccer league (4 games). That's just crazy, but I've been testing steroids on her for 3 yrs. now so it had to pay off.



And quite frankly, the moustache she's growing is a good thing for a Dad - like I want her to be attractive right now? Let her blossom at 25, am I right or am I right?

Is that a lot, is it harder than scoring a run in baseball?



Also, why does my latin amer wife get mad when I question why guys appear to be playing in girl's soccer leagues ..... I mean, it's basically football for girls, right?

[/QUOTE]Definitely football for girls, I think it stems from the fact I don't have a son so my oldest daughter gets to be a tomboy ;P

I just want to know what the girl in the green tank top had to do to earn the beads? :eek:
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
