WhiteWonder 2,179 Posted February 10, 2012 I thought Miami would be a fun team to draft for. I got lucky with no one owning the Mets or Pads and getting the first pick was nice. 2 blue chippers to kick things off in Miggy and Reyes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 759 Posted February 10, 2012 It's been a long time since Beltran wasn't my top target. Can't wait till a couple years when some of these stud farmers we got in the wings make their way up. Oh and Bubba Starling words!#!#!#! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and Bubba Starling words!#!#!#! We have a good mix this year.. so many players are now in play in the actual drafting.. I was hoping Beltran would sneak through to my 2nd round but then saw he would have to get by Houston, SF, and KC... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,179 Posted February 10, 2012 i think its cool just how much the draft order affects everyone rosters. for example (without giving too much away) I think Jim Mora will end up being very happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Mora 26 Posted February 11, 2012 you know it's been too long since you've played when you pull up your homers cheat sheet and my number 12 target "looks great this spring." He goes by the name of Milton Bradley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burt 43 Posted February 12, 2012 Looks like we still have a collection of dumbasses in this league. Aren't rounds 27 and 28 for the supplemental draft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,179 Posted February 12, 2012 Looks like we still have a collection of dumbasses in this league. Aren't rounds 27 and 28 for the supplemental draft? i saw one person say it was a 26 round draft with a 2 round supp. And then another person say it was a 28 round draft with a 1 round supp. im new to this so im just following along.

Stewburtx8 67 Posted February 14, 2012 Nope. I'd rather take him in the second round, where he's eligible, and hang onto my first round pick for awhile. Draft Management 101. As WW said, draft order set up pretty nicely for you. Obviously I was between Halladay and Lee, but I'll give the nod to Halladay. I don't think I could go wrong with either, and I knew I couldn't possibly end up with both. On the other end of the spectrum, the Blue Jays may have ended up with the worst luck in the draft order (not getting Bautista or Halladay). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 759 Posted February 14, 2012 Why? That's just 2 useless rounds. trade purposes, as I'm sure there will be managers lacking a position that might be willing to listen to trade offers and the two extra rounds could add flexibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other end of the spectrum, the Blue Jays may have ended up with the worst luck in the draft order (not getting Bautista or Halladay). Yeah that's exactly what I was alluding to. With Toronto picking after philly, I was pretty sure stew would take halladay and lee would make it to texas But if Toronto picks before philly, Texas likely misses Lee.

GuardBum 73 Posted February 14, 2012 I've already lost 3 of my top 5 due to this position. Knew it the second I saw the order. Really debating my tactics through these next few rounds.

I really didn't have much to pick from (unlike the Marlins), so it could be a reach, but if he can keep his starting job and hit behind Reyes, it could be a nice year...

GuardBum 73 Posted February 15, 2012 With my 2 biggest hitters off the board I figured I'd take stock in SP. Thought Lilly would be high enough on the Nats list at least that it'd be the time to take him. Carpenter was a sure pick for me now given the rank and his home state of NH.

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted February 17, 2012 I'm kind of glad no one took Tampa. My god that team would have been absurd. Price, Shields, Hellickson, Moore, Garza, Longoria, Zobrist, Jennings, Upton...all exclusive. Plus access to Jose Bautista and Carl Crawford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 759 Posted February 17, 2012 I'm glad no one took the Brewers; gave me exclusive rights to alicedes escobar, lorenzo cain and greinke. Although, competition for Prince may not have been a bad thing. However, could have made me choose between Bautista and Greinke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I chose Maimi because i thought they would be more fun to draft for where as tampa had too many already exclusives. Miami seemed to be a nice mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miami seemed to be a nice mix. some one was going to steal the Sox from me, so for a couple of days, i had chosen the Rays as my team. It would have been neat to have so many good players, but it wouldnt have been so much fun as building a team will be.If i play in this league next year, i may choose another team than the Sox just to see if i can build a competitve team.

Stewburtx8 67 Posted February 17, 2012 I looks like 29Guests took Michael Bourn now at 1.16 instead of Berkman. But he would be unable to do this yet as the Braves pick before him and have not made their first round pick yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
