Finbabble Garp 1 Posted February 22, 2013 I plan to make up for my windfall by taking nothing but shlubs the rest of the way, since that's pretty much all I have left to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted February 22, 2013 Cmh - I was delighted when the dodgers took agonz, thinking you would automatically take zach. So I was looking for shields either way I know I need to focus on some infield but I cant resist a semi stud pitcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finbabble Garp 1 Posted February 22, 2013 I had no idea how shallow this got how fast. Round two and I'm already picking a guy whose swing fell apart and may be suspended a third of the season. Yeesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finbabble Garp 1 Posted February 22, 2013 3.6 Alicedes Escobar, SS, KC Not sure if I let him slide because I thought Cruz was a smarter play, or because I felt bad about getting Greinke and didn't want to snake two guys from you, but either way I was pretty sure you'd pounce.

lambert58 56 Posted February 22, 2013 I was hoping for Rasmus or Melky in 3. I was hoping for Rasmus in the third... not the first. With the exception of Pujols, the first round did not go anything like I though it would. Still shocked at some players still on the board who I would have taken early over who was picked. EDIT: Just saw that 29 grabbed Hunter Pence in the 3rd. His strategy worked well for him because I could not believe Ed let him pass at the turn with both picks.

It was either pounce now or hope for willie bloomquist or mike aviles, whoe are only reserves or be forced to use a supplemental pick on a SS. A least now I have a full starting lineup and have some flexibility with my supplemental picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lambert58 56 Posted February 22, 2013 Hunter seems like a monster value in the 3rd. But WTF do I know? I was counting on him being taken pick 1.02. That would have freed me up for Berkman in the 2nd and I though CMH would grab Greinke freeing me up for Beltran in the 1st.. So instead of Beltran/Berkman I have Rasmus/Furcal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Mora 26 Posted February 22, 2013 I had no idea how shallow this got how fast. Round two and I'm already picking a guy whose swing fell apart and may be suspended a third of the season. Yeesh. I've had the luxury of him as an exclusive for the last few years, I figured there was little shot he slipped past you in the second. It does get very shallow very quickly. Before you know it, we'll be fighting over guys like Kameron Loe and Doug Davis. Can't wait to miss out on those two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,296 Posted February 23, 2013 I removed from the round 1/2 draft thread Burt complaining about me changing my pick to Rafael Soriano... The reason that I thought I was able to change my pick was because no one had yet drafted after my original pick, so I changed it after having second thoughts... I didn't see anything wrong with changing it... If someone else had picked, I would have not been able to make the change... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If someone else had picked, I would have not been able to make the change... Actually I believe the dodgers picked shane victorino at 2.12. Maybe im just confused... I thought it was stated that a pick is official when all the picks before it have been made, which they were. But its actually only official if someone enters a pick after you do? But not if someone picked after you draft order wise? Im just wondering. Doesnt effect me as im not landing soriano either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,296 Posted February 23, 2013 I know last year ted took someone then I took Ervin Santana, but after I hit submit on my pick, he had changed his pick to Santana... I lost out on Santana... I emailed cmh and told him he should decide since he is the commissioner... But honestly, I don't see what the problem is there was no other pick after I made my initial one... But cmh should make the decision... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finbabble Garp 1 Posted February 23, 2013 I'd suggest a rule where a pick you post becomes official as soon as somebody posts a pick chronologically after you. Even though it may not be instantly obvious that your pick "affects" theirs, that can't be 100% sure in a draft like this. You never know how deep somebody is thinking these things out, and your pick may make somebody more confident that a second party won't be selecting a certain player that could effect their pick, and so on. I'm all for allowing picks ahead of your slot so long as you can't be stopped, but once any pick is made after you in real time, you should be on the hook for your guy no matter what. Just my newbish opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just my newbish opinion. That is the thing, there were no picks that was made (time wise) after my pick... I made the original pick at 9:30pm ET and then changed my mind an hour later at 10:30pm, deleted the original pick and posted the new one... I could have just edited the original pick and it would have had the original time stamp with no proof of editing, but I did not do that... I posted a new one to show that I made a change so others can notice the change... Yes there was a 2.12 pick, but that was made before my original 2.10 pick...

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted February 23, 2013 Someone said thatt the pujols pick at 1.2 was not official until burt made the 1.1 By this logic, the 2.10 would be official as every pick before it had been made. Later picks in terms of drsft order had also been made. The only thing that didnt happen was another pick actually eing entered for the secod round although I dont know when blac clouds made his pick.. before or after the change and ibbelieve round 3 picks were entered afterwards.

GuardBum 73 Posted February 23, 2013 I think the ruling has always come from 2 factors. If a real time pick happens following the pick or if the pick is on the clock and the draft is not waiting on any gap picks the pick is official. If one is picking ahead, and decides to change, its good. Not sure which situation this was here. I recognize the real time chronological pick wasn't made so posty is clear there. Was the draft caught up otherwise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted February 23, 2013 Still deciding on people who may not make it back to me in round 4 so ill go ahead and pick rodney since im before the tigers and angels in round 4. Now I have to make a decision on round 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
