  • 2015 PONY Auction Thread

    16 brave competitors from PA, Ohio, and California (!) will square off tomorrow in the annual PONY auction. Pink donuts will be eaten. Del will be distracted. Mike Stanton jokes will be made. Miguel Cabrera will be overpaid. Tommy John pitchers will challenge everyone's valuation skills.

    In case anyone wants to see the keepers, I'm attaching the spreadsheet. You'll have to really want it since I uploaded it as a zip.

    Can the lildogs survive an auction budget of only $86? Well they already have Trout, Goldschmidt, Donaldson, Harper, Machado and Corey Dickerson, so I like their odds. Will Tyler return triumphant after a few years off? Can JC put together a team that can be in first place at the end of the season, instead of leading for 4 months and collapsing? How quickly can Gris text his "advisors" during the auction? How many Cubans can Randy buy? Will the jet lag get to Wayne? Can Dalaine and Drew remember that they only need to buy 2 pitchers? Can I go back to work now and quit writing this?

    Stay tuned today and tomorrow for updates.

    My "advisors" have asked that you not refer to them as the "advisors".

    They are FANTASY GODS!

    Hey, just my thoughts.

      And let's be honest....my "advisors" didn't help much last year as I ended up in 10th or 11th place.

        Yeah, thinking to rename my team to "Los Cubanos"

        Drew and I arrived this afternoon to beautiful, but rainy Canton, Ohio. Hey, at least it's not snow!

        We're looking forward to seeing everyone bright and early tomorrow! The Comfort Inn's Internet connection seems to be better than last year's spotty performance.

        Who get's first toss tomorrow?

                One of these years, I need to make this fun. It won't be this year because my kids are in a Taekwondo tournament tomorrow.

                  Good luck, and leave some in the tank for DMBL on Sunday
                  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.

                    POMICA league?
                    Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                      Something like that. I was thinking CAMI OHPA or POCAMI.

                      Setting up in the big room downstairs this year!

                        There's no one from NY left in PONY?

                        Always enjoy reading about this league.

                            Jeff nominates Wainwright... Tyler gets up and walks out of the room.

                            Wayne is eating his pink donuts.
