forensicguy 3 Posted March 17, 2016 Notes while we wait: It must be a trip to have a 10-month old baby. Kysar-Alex Collins. I'm 56 years old and have a 19-year old. Also, I 'acquired' two step kids (age 12 and 20), ...when I remarried in 2013. Yeah, ...I remember babies, ...they're cool. This morning, ...I tried to draft Yordano Ventura. Torn caught the mistake. I was happy to get Collin McHugh. Later, ...Godfather-Antonio, tried to draft Iglesias. I caught the mistake. Us veteran owners have failing eyesight. I thought I was going to have a devil of a time participating in this draft. I had a trial starting in Texas on Monday, ...very high profile, ...will be covered by Dateline NBC. Very nerve-racking. Last week, the prosecution pushed for a continuance--and got that approved. The trial will happen in June/July, ...allegedly. I will let you guys know when the episode is expected to run, ....if ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FouLLine 2 Posted March 17, 2016 Stephen Vogt is my favorite pick that I've made. This guy can absolutely rake I think he could have a huge breakout this year. I got nervous the catchers started to go was crossing my fingers Vogt would make it to me as I was going to take him if McCullers didn't fall with my last pick... So now I'm crossing my fingers McCullers can pitch 175-180 innings this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Sienna Paige Collins came into the world on May the Fourth be with you of last year. She is absolutely amazing, but sleep is at a premium currently. I'm happy to share pictures upon request. She has been a joy :doublethumbsup:and a challenge . She is now mobile and about to start walking . I'm looking forward to a great, fun journey and eventually being able to sleep again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 17, 2016 Beautiful little girl, Alex - thanks for sharing photo... Also, thanks to posty for helping me out with proxies today. Glad I was able to keep the delays reasonable. On a quick break right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FouLLine 2 Posted March 17, 2016 Just to keep things in perspective we have 16 more days to get in 18 more rounds. So we should really shoot to complete at least a round every day if not more. If we keep cruising like we were this morning we shouldn't have much problem with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torn 42 Posted March 18, 2016 Eesh, I think my picks at 14.12/15.01 were ugly ones and now I sit until 18.03... Wow... I saw those two picks and said to myself, "Self, why are you even playing this year - does this thing have auto-pilot mode?" While there was NO hope of winning before these two rounds, now posty is just rubbing it in. Invincible - a complete I'm guessing this is why Brom hasn't picked - he's given up.

FouLLine 2 Posted March 18, 2016 For the record all of the text messages I have sent Bromley (since retrieving his # from the contact list posty emailed) they all have failed. Is anyone else actually getting texts through? I called and left him a voicemail, phone rang as if it were in service... Hopefully all is well with Bromley.

Torn 42 Posted March 19, 2016 17 rounds in the books... How's your draft going so far? According to plan? Way off course? Surprises? These make or break middle rounds are the toughest for me. Reach for the prospect or wait a round? Fill in a hole or take a best available approach? Sleeper time or grab the established vet? Roll the dice on a health risk? I was going with a plan until we got to round 14. I was going to punt saves and keep building up bats and SP. We got to 14 and I saw a handful of viable saves on the board and said what the heck, maybe I'll be able to get 2 and stay in the saves hunt week to week. Committed myself to it and now wish I hadn't... Got two low end closers and lost out on guys like Kang, Conforto, Schoop and Story who I stupidly hoped would linger until my two picks in round 17. I was somewhat happy to get DeShields - 2 cat player, but I was light in the SB department and he will help there. At least one of the rookies on my list fell to me at 17.08... Am hopeful Arcia gets the call up in June or so. That should line up nicely with Tulo's annual extended DL stint. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FouLLine 2 Posted March 19, 2016 Yeah I honestly thought I was reaching a bit on Kang... With his slow recovery and all. I was between waiting on Kang / Story.... Oh also now that Trevor Story was drafted I can throw out the fantasy team name: The Trevor Ending Story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FouLLine 2 Posted March 19, 2016 I'm at work 11 - 2 today... Heading there now. It's very rare I can check my phone over that time. But text me the picks and I'll see if I can get a proxy in without holding up the draft. Or text me if you pick behind me and could take a preemptive pick. 847347O746 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL I am not sure how my plan is going or if I ever do have a plan with these drafts (maybe that is my problem on why I never win -- and the jinxes)... I think the thing that has bothered me was trading up to get early picks with FouLLine and then I missed out on a lot of players in the mid-rounds... I am not sure if I would do that again, but one never knows... I probably reached on LeMahieu and d'Arnaud but knowing that I wouldn't pick for three rounds or so, I wanted to at least get players that I wanted and filled out my starting lineup in the process... I don't know how I am feeling with my team right now... I guess I will see how I fill out with my last 11 picks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how I am feeling with my team right now... I guess I will see how I fill out with my last 11 picks... well, I wanted both LeMahieu and d'Arnaud. They weren't reaches imo. I'm reasonably happy with my draft thus far. Health & Age are going to be my big issues with pitching: Felix, Tanaka, Kuma. Very happy with how things fell. Was shocked to get McCutchen with my first pick - my RP feels like a bit of a disaster just missed out on the guys that I wanted repeatedly. It will be interesting to see how this falls in later rounds. Trading up and back seems to have worked out most of the time. Generally speaking I like my team which means that I'm certainly going to miss the playoffs this year...I mean who can compete with Posty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going out with the boys and will be sleeping in/nursing a hangover in the early morning, I'm sure. And posty is going to win... No stopping him....
