    You win if he goes #1. I win if he goes #4 or lower. Push if he goes to UCLA or gets drafted #2 or #3.

    OK...although I think I should also get #2 and 3, since they all were over the 5 million figure that was the alleged final offer by Houston. But I'm easy...we'll do your terms.

      funny because I said that a few posts before yours.

      This is just you, as was already pointed out, digging your heels in. You like to argue even when its pretty clear you have no chance of being right. Aiken is not going #1 next year and everyone but you will admit it.

      Who is Bryan?
      LOL...your reading comprehension is amusing as all get out. Go and find the post where I said that Aiken WILL be #1 next year, please...I can wait forever.

      And adding in the fact that Aiken can throw 97 is a fact...means nothing in and of itself, except it's correct, unlike your statements. Now, I truly am done...

        Aiken can't be drafted #2 next year.

          Still waiting for you to come up that phantom post that you imagined where I supposedly said that Aiken would be drafted 1st overall...go ahead, really.

            You've been arguing, for page upon page of posts, that Aiken was smart to reject the $5M because he will get more next year. That means #1 or #3.

            You've also been arguing that you dont see why Aiken won't be picked #1 next year.

Even a damaged player like Aiken could easily get more than a $7M contract on the open market. Waaaay more.
                yeah, that was the one wrinkle i didn't know about. it'd be an interesting move if that were allowed.

                      ah, was trying to figure out someone's real name, but maybe that is your real name.

                      You were right about horns digging in those heels. But he can retract them instantly just as well!

                        You said "no reason he declines", hence #1 overall. I'm going easy on you. I won't wait three more years to settle though. If he starts a 4 year school, bet is off.

                          "No reason he declines" refers to his skill set, not his potential draft position, but frankly, read into it what you will. I'll take the bet on your terms, because it's fairly irrelevant. And it's a hat...

                          • So, what do you all think of Aiken as a roto asset at this point? If he were eligible to be rostered in your league, what would you give for him? Given the risk and how far off he was, would you give someone like Lance McCullers? Rafael Montero? Kyler Zimmer? How would you weigh his risk reward against lesser upside but safer assets?

                              yes to McCullers, not sure on next two but if it were a short term keeper league I'd take the chance. Long term or dynasty I'd have to think a bit but might still do it. Zimmer is hurt all the time anyway...
