Looks like all but three of us are logged in right now.

If we could get to my picks by the end of the work day, that would be awesome.

That being said, I have a list of 11 names ready if I need to pick on the fly.

Hasn't he heard of a chair??? geek

LOL, I think he's a stock market trader/analyst. Would explain the hookers. lol!

P.S. I have Boz's pick, so I sent a heads up to Larry & Dale.

Oooooooh. An anal,yst. So in other words he's just like a weatherman. Overpaid, rarely right and never accountable. cheers

As a leadoff/runs/SB guy, I actually think he's very underrated.

10-15 HR's, 60 RBI's, 90+ Runs, 30+ SB's, and a .280 average - Johnny Damon Light. Remember he pretty much has the leadoff job sealed, and Hillman lets 'em run. Big sleeper pick in 2009 for me.

Crisp (.279-8-61-85-22) was near the top of my list of available OF but there's others there just as good. We don't get points for defense. Laughing

Besides, just because I haven't been sniped doesn't mean I think it's a bad pick. It's just a pick either at a person or position I'm not currently concerned with.

I'm just totally kidding & very much agree w/ your assessment. I've often referred to Crisp as a Damon-type.

A lesser talented, crappier version no doubt.

Is quickster actually on or is one of those things where he's been logged in for hours but not actually here?

Posts : 338 Join date : 2009-03-16

LOL, he's here, he'll pick soon.

Posts : 211 Join date : 2008-02-18 Age : 55 Location : NY

Gotcha. Well I'm leaving the office in 10 minutes so you can text me when I'm up. There's about a 10-15 minute period when I'm in the tunnel and get no service but rest assured, like usual, I have names ready to fire and won't delay for a second. cheers

By the way, anyone who's really slow at this point gets awarded this guy:

Jacque Jones went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Friday and is 3-for-34 this spring.
Jones wasn't a serious contender to make the Reds, but he sure isn't impressing anyone else with his performance. He'll have to head to Triple-A if he hopes to continue his career.

lol!

I almost took Lowe, but I really needed 2 OF's there.

Guys. Heading home now. Remind me later I've got a great Derek Lowe/Nick Johnson story to share with you all.

Text me if I'm up.

That was the beauty of taking Lince early was that I knew that I could take the lighter version of Brandon Webb later and the K-rate is still fully protected. I'm still at +1 K above where I need to be at K/9 according to my projections.

Lowe was very good to me down the stretch last year.

Yeah, he was a "boring" choice, but one that very likely should have been off the board already for what he brings to the table.

Larry, I would have *had* to take Lowe even though I didn't want to take a SP there, just because the value was too good.

But I can't resist the boom bust speed/power guys, so you made me happy - that's a snipe I was hoping was gonna happen.

And if he didn't have a huge injury risk, Devine would have been gone *eons* ago - like the boombust pick there too, Jon.
