Saw two of them tonight at Walmart. Lindy's and Street & Smith, which looks like the exact same format as previous year's issues published by The Sporting News. So, i'm guessing that S&S took over TSN magazine.

Seems a month early.

Maybe my experience is not the norm but I've noticed that the individuals who just bring a magazine to a draft are the easy mark. They typically don't know about spring training news / injuries and they spend most of their time rifling through pages trying to keep up. And at the end of the draft they are calling out 12 names in a row that have already been taken.

Again, just my experience.

Originally posted by Ken View PostWell, with the number of leagues I've been in there are certainly bad owners of all types along the way. And there are exceptions to the rule, but the good owners I've been around who are "non electronic" at drafts don't typically bother with outdated magazines.

I draft in a Vegas sportsbook each year, and for a long time there were no electronics allowed. I'd get to know the magazines intimately, and be able to look up stats on the fly in seconds. I guess I still purchase them out of some nostalgia for a time when they seemed relevant...One league, 28 years, 9 championships. AL 4X4
Current Lineup:
Ohoppe 2 Jeffers 5 JRamirez 39 Vaughn 16 WFranco 15 Semien 26 Lowe 5 Rengifo 6 R Lewis 10 Alvarez 39 Carpenter 10 P Lopez 6 G Rodriguez 5 Ragans 5 Holmes 10 JDuran 10
