Torn

A little late on my reply, but you think you have it bad - 6 of my top 8 drafted players... 1st round - Strider, done for the year 3rd round - Robert, out indefinitely 5th round - McLain, out indefinitely and likely for the whole year 6th round - Casas, out indefinitely 7th round - Fairbanks, out indefinitely 8th round - Senga, out for another month or so (the hazards of drafting early, wouldn't have made him a keeper if I knew what I knew now) 16th round - Bellinger (not in the top 8 picks, but certainly carries a value that would have had someone drafting him before round 9, out for 2-3 months. I'm used to the annual "war of attrition" for FB, but we're not even in May yet! WTF...

I only had a couple of painful snipes. Had a pile of minor ones where I was targeting a guy way too late and he was gone 10-15 picks ahead of where I would have grabbed him. Tough to get upset about those. At the round 3-4 turn, I really wanted Bichette but TS grabbed him despite having Trea Turner already. Ghost already had Lindor, so I figured Bichette would fall to me once we got past Isotope at 3.09 and had mentally "penciled him in". Hopefully, I have a gem in McLain though. Time will tell... In round 28, I had my sights set on Ceddanne Rafaela, but Strombn sniped him a few picks ahead of me. Kicked myself on that one as I prioritized positional need (Marcus Stroman - yuck) over upside in the prior round. Dumb - especially after hearing that Duran got a foot injury in that day's game which opens the door for Rafaela to get some early playing time to potentially earn a permanent roster spot. I think he'll end up being a decent keeper value or trade chip next season.

It IS a marathon, but on purpose. Want to provide adequate roster space to allow us to draft our breakout, sleeper, comeback player and hot prospect candidates. One of my favorite parts of this league is occasionally hitting on a "who the hell is he?" guy in the 16th-30th round who turns into a top 100 player. Our rosters are filled with great selections like that - Gunnar, Elly, Adley, Riley, Witt, Abrams, Kirby, Grayson, etc.

Have submitted draft results to the Yahoo League site. Please check to make sure that your roster is accurate. Remember that you have change the date to tomorrow (March 9) to see your roster.

Yes, fantastic job, everyone. We got through it with time to spare before Talent Scout's departure and maintained a good pace throughout. While the trades started off slower than usual, they picked up with a lot of player movement (as opposed to just draft spot maneuvering). That was kind of a new twist and it was interesting to see drafted players getting traded during the draft itself. Thanks to all for keeping things moving and staying on point! I appreciate it and I know that TS does as well. Good luck this season! I will be submitting draft results on the Yahoo site in a bit...

Godfather - do you have someone else making your picks this year? Only TWO Brewers? No MIL batters? Passing on some of their best players when they were still available? What's gotten into you? LOL
