WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted March 4, 2018 Figured i'd go ahead and kick it off a little early. I was hoping to see him pitch before our draft but that won't be happening. Then again, I really have no other palatable options so I'm just going to hope for a bounce back... or really just health since he was mostly his normal self when on the field. Maybe he'll be motivated to play really well and opt out. He'd be giving up money but if he hates boston he'll need to perform well to sign a decent deal somewhere else to finish his career. really awful year for the Rays to have the 1.1. I think I had the first pick my very first season doing this when I used the Marlins and took Miggy in his prime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted March 5, 2018 And for my team, I really would have liked Price more than EE I think but as soon as the draft order hit I pretty much knew he was gone. For after those 2 it's all a crapshoot. Certainly a lot of guys I have for roles and platoons but no one to carry a significant part of my numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burt 43 Posted March 5, 2018 The draft order fell just right for the first two rounds for me with bbascom coming after me and Black Clouds already having picked. He probably wouldn't have taken Kimbrel anyway with the wealth of talent available to him, but I'm happy with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burt 43 Posted March 5, 2018 I want to say yes but I don't feel like we are in a time crunch yet Burt I'm in no hurry really. I just enjoy giving cmh a little sh*t. I have a feeling you guy may be skipping me later this week. We got about 12-18 inches of snow across our region and I'll probably have to go out and measure the water content over the area so we'll know what to expect for potential flooding when (if?) it melts.

I will.The only way you'd have to skip me is if the draft moved along with with 10-12 picks in a short time. That just doesn't happen very often here.

lambert58 56 Posted March 6, 2018 Dex was my no brainer. Gives me 4 solid starting OFers with Ozuna, Pham, and Piscotty. He is projected to lead off or hit third for the Cards. Great spot for some runs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 830 Posted March 6, 2018 1.10 - Yoenis Cespedes, OF, NYM KILLING ME. Ha. I really thought you'd go a different direction and as my only competition thought I had him locked up and take in the second round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbascom 20 Posted March 6, 2018 KILLING ME. Ha. I really thought you'd go a different direction and as my only competition thought I had him locked up and take in the second round. Trust me...I was going back and forth for a while but ultimately couldn't pass him up. The solid OF of Betts, Cespedes, Benintendi and Bradley Jr was hard to ignore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dcb291 5 Posted March 6, 2018 for whatever reason i really wanted Rich Hill. well technically i wanted Yu Darvish haha but at least Hill gives some diversity and plays on a contender. did not expect Lester to be there. tough choice though with another option or two.

dcb291 5 Posted March 6, 2018 correct cool thanks i do a lot of fantasy and but this whole concept is new to me. i knew you could jump people in a round but wasnt sure if "round 1 & 2" needed to be closed out before moving on. then i saw some picks were already made in round 3 and figured it was okay.
