cmh6476 759 Posted March 2, 2012 yep, if you go to our player pool now at yahoo you start to get a better feel of eligible players for our supplemental draft. Obviously guys that belong to teams represented near the top are likely exclusives I have not had a chance to add yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 759 Posted March 2, 2012 there's good and bad to having lesser talent available to you for drafting purposes. Obviously other teams might be better if they are picking better players than you are, but then you typically are drafting guys that other teams wouldn't want until a round or two later so you ahve less people stealing your guys.

Cabrera, Uggla, Hanley, Maybin, Bonafacio, Beckett and Willingham. i got 3/7 but expected to at least get 4/7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 759 Posted March 2, 2012 other than maybe a couple exclusives to CH that he has yet to list, the player pool via our yahoo league site should be pretty up-to-date now for those of you scouting talent for the supplemental draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 759 Posted March 2, 2012 Your commissioner must enter your offline draft results and hit the 'Begin Season' button in order for your league to begin play yes, but if you click the "players" tab up top on the green bar, it will not show players that have been assigned as I am entering the draft results.

Honestly (and im not just saying this because i wanted Hanley) if i had been him already having A-Gonz, Ellsbury, Pedroia, Youkalis, Crawford and Ortiz and if i realized I could add Beltre, i would have taken Beckett over Hanley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was ready to take someone else there, and Beltre just fell into my lap. But dont hand me the championship just yet. I AM the guy who drafted Cam Newton in the last round in the Geek Cup FF league, and then cut him for Tashard Choice the night before the first weekends regular seasons games, thinking that there was no way the rookie would outplay Josh Freeman over the long haul. . IOW, dont be surprised when i f*ck this up. Next year i'll be the Orioles or Mariners or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewburtx8 67 Posted March 4, 2012 Well the options available to me at this point aren't great. With Howard out until at least May (I think it will be more like June), Ty Wigginton should get the majority of AB's at 1B. Then with the injury history of some of the other Phillies players, I think Wigginton should see a lot of AB's this year. His eligibility at 1B, 3B, and OF make him a player I wanted to lock up. While I don't think he was on Chronic Husker's radar at this point, I couldn't be quite sure. So I grabbed him here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lambert58 56 Posted March 4, 2012 Rolen in the 5th round is a huge risk but as I look at my lineup it is obvious that I am lacking some serious run producing players.
