    exactly
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        Yeah ... I hadn't planned on Chipper Jones, but he was falling into WC territory. Still wondering if that was a good decision.

        • Well, that's swell. When I made my last pick I had both PIT and CIN open, so I reviewed the two and decided that PIT was a better franchise for me going forward so I should save it... then because I had PIT in mind, I selected that as my franchise. Oh well.

          I did almost pick Rose with my second R wildcard last time.

                Wow, that's bold. I can't imagine try to project stuff this far out, at least in this format. Too many wild cards. On the other hand, the franchise restrictions may make it easier.

                  In some ways it must be easier to project since options are limited

                      Yes. I am just impressed. That must be a mess to try to do now. So many wild cards remaining.

                        You do have both catchers taken, and all your quizy pain is behind you (heh, heh). You do need 2 MI, hard to believe you only have two hitters left. Will be an interesting finish.

                          I almost took Rose too but when you roll out of bed at 3:00 am you let the picks Rip.

                              Well, I definitely want to see those projections!

                              • It was difficult. Looked for letters + franchises, and did some with the Era restrictions. Did NOT look for positions, so everyone who needs C and MI are probably pumped up a little more than they should. And I’m sure some have too many DP or CHs, but that’s usually better for those teams too.

                                Pretty much just gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. Some bad letters we know will just get shelved in pitching. Used the strategies for those I already knew.

                                Still, it’s just a basis, unlike last draft, where I didn’t do projections and tried something different, and it was disastrous.

                                I can say this: there’s going to be a battle at some letters. Some will win, others will lose. It looked like one particular letter/franchise combo was needed by a few teams.

                                Oh, and Heye wins in a walkover!
