I apparently had a habit of saying I was "torn between player x and player y" multiple times per draft. Someone called me on it and the name has stuck ever since. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,296 Posted March 10, 2020 So are we starting this on Monday, March 16 to give time for people to work trades, research who to take or not give a rat's ass... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,179 Posted March 10, 2020 I don’t mind starting but I don’t want people to feel like we breezed through the regular draft and then this and will have 2 dead weeks. Only 6 days away no anyhow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted March 10, 2020 Might as well wait and work any trades Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted March 12, 2020 With the delay to the MLB season, should we delay the supplemental draft start date? Or should we just hold the draft, put the guys on the teams and open up for any trades and roster moves like normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows when the season will start and who among us might not be available to draft at that point. I’m open to anything though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus with everything being canceled, gives us something to do I guess... But like you, I am open to any other suggestions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookz 1,287 Posted March 12, 2020 Aw man! Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Major League Baseball will delay Opening Day for "at least two weeks." And spring training games in Florida and Arizona will be officially suspended as of 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, though Jon Heyman of MLB Network hears that players are being told to "hold tight" and remain in camp for regular workouts. Major League Baseball will continue to monitor the spreading coronavirus pandemic and reassess the situation as time goes on. It's very possible the delay extends well beyond two weeks. World Baseball Classic qualifying games have also been postponed indefinitely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,179 Posted March 13, 2020 I say proceed as we were set to. We are not going to gain any more info by waiting while ST games are not being played and as lambert said, want to make sure everyone is available.... and not that I’m a panic person but as more things get shut down people may have other concerns keeping them busy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lambert58 56 Posted March 16, 2020 Just tried to add Arenado after my pick. It shows "Actions locked by the commissioner" on the yahoo site where you can add a player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burt 43 Posted March 16, 2020 Hey guys, I'm trying to wrap up everything I need to take care of in order for me to work from home. I'm not trying to hold anyone up, but I may not be able to make my pick for a couple of hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not trying to hold anyone up, but I may not be able to make my pick for a couple of hours. you're still 4 picks away and i really dont think we have any sort of time limit to worry about here, so its all good. i would hope no one takes 24 hours on the clock but at the same time no one is going to say anything if 4 or 5 hours go by.

Yeah, I hadn't done a lot of looking until just now but I knew I would need SP and 1B help this year. The only other positions I was looking at were C or 2B but I think SP and 1B were the bigger holes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
