Not sure what this post means?

I am on vacation. Sorry for taking so long.

It's just a joke, because you're famous for posting that players suck. No worries.

I understood it. And laughed.

Haha. Thought you might have meant my team sucked because my picks since round 2 are bad.

Slow mental day!

Mith, you’re up! Let’s go!!!!


OK, I've changed the timeout clock to 4 hours, with a sleep timer from midnight to 8am. If you time out, it will pick from your queue first, so make sure you set your queue if you don't check in as much.

Thanks...while I'm not married to a mock, I do like to use it as research. And this no time out was killing it. Hopefully it'll just pull the highest rated player if people don't have a queue?

thanks for moving up the clock

I seem to be picking up a lot of guys whose stock dropped from a down year in 2018 (e.g., Sanchez, Myers, Inciarte, Lamb, Santana on the hitting side; Archer, Hamels, Allen on the pitching side). Hoping that they revert toward the level of their demonstrated talent, rather than that they've "lost it". But they feel like bargains with strong upside to me where I'm grabbing them. What do y'all think?

I liked the Myers pick, and liked the Santana pick a lot. I worry about Sanchez this year, and wonder how much of your apparently unbridled optimism was tongue in cheek.
A casual review of my pitching staff suggests that I probably am not the right person to comment on your choices in that regard.

Seems like a mix of guys I like to bounce back and guys I don't.

Sanchez... but only 1 catcher in this league so his value is weird
Hamels... I do like him to continue what he did in CHI
Allen... not seeing a full bounce back but a friendly-ish park and a long leash combined with a little more improvements
D Santana ... I do like a bounce back, he should also have a long leash so even if he doesn't come all the way back, lots of good counting stats

Archer... I want to believe but I really don't
Myers... meh
Inciarte... what he did after April was not very good
Lamb... shoulder scares me

it's not just you, there are simply a ton of guys who fit that description ... my list includes Darvish & Alex Reyes on the pitching side, Bryant & Soler on the hitting side (I know I took Bryant too early but I really do think he'll bounce back)

[joncarlos]

I'm way too happy with my team. I must be overvaluing guys.

I like your team a lot. If your pitching works out after Bauer & Price, it could be amazing.

Draft room says that the draft is suspended...otherwise, I'd take Forrest Whitley of the Astros and hope for 130 exceptional innings. Someone want to draft him for me so we can move along? Thanks...

ETA: Working now drafted Whitley.

[joncarlos]

Asdrubal Cabrera played 22 games at 3B and should be eligible at 3B/CI. Not sure if it really matters, but it's annoying.
