Does you son play a lot / have a low handicap? I would adjust that loft +1* (I think the g400 can adjust +/- a degree) and get it playing at 9.5. It's going to play much more forgiving that way. I'd rather see someone who swings hard and is strong, smooth out their swing and use a stiff than use an x-stiff shaft also to be honest.... I mean unless he is a long time golfer single digit handicap. an x-stiff playing 8.5 degrees is going to be fairly unforgiving for him, I think. Mid 2023 I lowered my driver to 8.5 and wound up changing it back for 2024.

8.05 - Zack Littell, SP, TB

A little lull here is not bad. Once we finish I will enter the draft results thus far to clean up the yahoo available list. then I will run the balls and record/post on YouTube like past years. I know I’m trusted but it’s fun regardless. if we can kick off the Supp by Monday 3/10 we will be golden

I think we generally assume the weekends are a pause.

just give me 1.1 Schefflenuts so I don't have to show up until late monday afternoon sorry scotty

It’s fine. If I wanted him over Pham I would have just picked him regardless of you already picking him .

Poor Phillips going from rd 1 to 6

Each team use to have a team history page via MLB.com and you could sort the all time players with a starting end ending year and position. That was helpful in the initial build of my spreadsheet. I believe those pages are all gone for a while now. As for this draft... like most recent years... I don't really have ANY players taken off my list in round 1 because there simply are not many or any worthy of a round 1 pick. but rounds 2-5 usually rape most of my draft sheet. As of this typing I have landed 6 players on my list and lost 9 and that split was 4 and 9 before my most recent 2 selections. Not saying I have it any worse than other teams, just that all 9 of those losses happened between picks 2.4 and 5.6

I've had a spreadsheet since 2017. Exclusives, shared players, which other teams can pick that shared player. I only update it though a few weeks before we kick things off. i do remember one season having no clue Kirby Yates (stud closer at the time) was available for me and that likely prompted me to start the sheet.

well now I feel like I have a stud on my hands

17.08 - Ryan Pepiot, SP, TB 18.05 - Shane Baz, SP, TB

I hear ya. I opened up my draft with 4 straight SP's. i just don't have worthy available hitters after Randy... even though I like Paredes power potential in houston he just doesnt offer much else, hope he does well but i figured stacking starting pitching was the better play for me

I simply refuse to use a supplemental pick on a catcher and my options beyond Jansen are the Rays own backup. I've got nothing else. I considered a d'Arnaud/Jansen double dip but would not have been able to get d'Arnaud anyway. I guess that's what happens when your organization usually punts on the catcher position. the guys we bring in to play the position do not get jobs elsewhere when we give them the boot.... with the exception of d'Arnaud. plus I knew you were picking off Jason Adam at that last turn. Kittredge was an okay fallback option although I doubt he will repeat his holds numbers from last year and Adam could very well become the closer in san diego

I assumed Nate Lowe would go there but I couldn't leave Springs on the board... if he really is healthy I was actually considering him in round 2

A college roommate of mine got me into that. Used to play a lot, then topped but got back into it during covid... been a few years again since I played but I still have my discs lying around somewhere
