I like Casilla too. Just so many ways to go with those 3rd tier 2B, many intriguing picks for us Roto types. I've always liked Polanco as a BA to carry while I nab SB and HR with one trick ponies...like that one I picked up earlier. And with Polanco in a contract year I figure he might go back to hanging out with Mr. Big Head and boost his peripherals a little, at least for those times he's actually on the field.

I love Casilla. The dude was a stolen base machine in the minors. I wouldnt be surprised a bit if he stole 35 this year. I was determined to take a MI last pick....and Casilla was quite a bit ahead of both Theriot and my eventual Bartlett.

I like him, too....caught his act against the Phils today.

If the Twinkles lineup hits like their potential suggests he's gonna score a lot of runs. I was thisclose to taking him myself, but couldn't resist Felipe's upside.

Wow, I just had the worst F'n draft of my life.

My head is spinning like a mother too after that. Gotta get back on track in here.

6 by 6 with BB/holds I'll give you what I can without giving away guys that haven't been drafted yet.

C- McCann
1st-Votto
2nd- Aviles
3rd- Chipper
SS- Reyes
CI- Delgado
MI- Kelly Johnson
OF- Carlos Lee
OF- Hunter Pence
OF- Nelson Cruz

That is the core. I have 5 other guys that haven't been drafted yet.

Am I panicking, or did I just totally F' that up? All my targets went early. Even F'n Konerko.

I've spent the last 15 years working in mental health services for children, the last eight as a therapist/manager of a program that is considered the highest level of care available to children who are still in their home in PA.

And with that obscure aside from Herschel, I bade you all a good night.

Okay. Well was that Adult Diapers bad? Maybe it was just the draft spot. ALL my drafts have been from the 8-10 spot. I was in the 4 spot in this one and couldn't adjust when my guys were going to fast. About the 4th round, I was like WTF and felt lost. Maybe I was just overconfident after last year. I knew it was over by the 10th round in last years draft.

The SP staff is a bit thinner that I'd normally like to see, but at least *that's* the one area that the WW offers gems. It's probably a middle-of-the pack team as far as I'd see.

I think you could use one more speed guy - Casilla, perhaps?

I can be more obscure.

I don't think you've done that badly, Larry. I usually prefer to have more speed than that, but I think it should do alright.

What is the rule for eligibility at a position? How many games must a player have at a position to be eligible? I know Yahoo is different then CBS.
Im curious, if someone can answer me that...Thanks

Posts : 338 Join date : 2009-03-16

Start 5 games, play 10 overall.

If you go on the Yahoo website and just click on your player, his eligibility will show up - and yes, Chone is 2b/3b eligible - I checked on yahoo myself last night.

In this league, not much. I think it's 5 games started or 10 games played.

Subject: Re: Draft Chatter Sat Mar 21, 2009 10:08 pm

Ok thanks bro because I see that Figgins played 2nd 9 times I think.

OK, off to bed, Vriez, you have my pick so if you can think of a target list, great, if not, it may not matter as much with Dale OTC soon, but expect some texts after 9-10 AM! Twisted Evil

Hey John,

Don't know if Dale came back in last night or not. Sorry for not leaving a pick. I was given three options. I could touch my computer again, touch my cell phone again, or touch my wife again. I was told to choose wisely.

No worries - turns out spundin was eating dinner with his date when I texted .... And in the hope of eating pussy later on, after getting his first pick in, was given the same choice.... I love you

So you *both* made the wrong choices! There's always more chances later to make up, but there's only 1 draft season!

I hereby reduce your status from hardcore to lightweights!

Well, at least you posted after 2 AM on the lam while she's asleep - so I reinstate your hardcore badge. Spundin's stays as a pussy-whipped dilletante poseur, though.

Yeah- Not sure why I employed the past tense. Perhaps I was going "Rickey" on you:
"Dale's tired. Dale bade you all good night."

Geez guys- Draft is going well if you ask me.
Yes- My babe has demands too. So I am also whipped. Oh well. At least I don't live in freakin' Canada!
