Owners are bored, so we're going to do a sloooooow online serpentine draft starting at our previously scheduled auction time tomorrow.
goal is about one round a day. maybe a little more. We got 11 'yeses' out of 12.
no roster changes all season, so an owner can wake up after the season (if there is one) and find out how he did.
my gimmick, I have decided, is to try to pick only players I have previously owned (active roster or farm system).
I picked 6th, so I couldn't start with Acuna.
seeing that my pitching in this chosen straightjacket looks suspect for the first 10 rounds, I'll reach tomorrow with Scherzer (in a shorter season, that could especially work).
at 18th, I guess Harper and Buehler may both be off the board - which would leave me with Albies, Rizzo, KMarte, or Kershaw as most-likely targets from my 'former property' list.
at 31st, assuming the above names are all gone, then Pham, Realmuto, and ESuarez are top targets (based on a FanTrax ML draft ranking from March 4).
I have only done one 'draft' in my life, a non-keeper like this about 10 years ago. I probably need to make sure to focus on the one-year angle - in a keeper league, a fossil like Scherzer might have a little less appeal while a developing player like Robles (whom I can't pick) might get bumped higher.
advice will be welcomed as always - and in this rendition, I'll have plenty of time to absorb it!
