  • For those following the VD3 order religiously ... be aware that lots of good players went undrafted in that draft because there were only 9 players ... just sayin'.

    • oh, yeah, I see that now. hey, it was 3am and I was just trying to speed thing along. Also, I think Latham was a serious reach where he was drafted.

        Also, I hope we all have our plans in order to derail Feral Slasher's team.
        Well MJL is trying to poach my players....

          not that I know anything about anything, but LJ is currently in second with one fewer player and having taken 2 QUIZY's, and Feral has taken 0 QUIZY's. Are you focusing on the correct threat?
          In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

            Standings at this stage are fairly meaningless. LJ has a nice team, but his scoring is artificially inflated by his lack of pitchers. He's top 3 in the 4 ratio categories all because of Pete Alexander.

            Feral has 5 pitchers, and yet he has better ratio numbers, and he has an unchallenged hitter strat. I would say he's a pretty strong favourite at this stage.

            I'm aiming for Top 3 at best ... highly doubt I can win.

                I've noticed that teams with more early pitchers tend to get a bump in the standings as the draft moves along. I guess just because they tend to draft strong pitchers early so they do well in pitching and then catch up some in hitting. As far as the favorite, it's still early and I never really have much success is predicting these things. There are some good looking teams out there and a long way to go. Glad we got this going again it's fun....and torturous. I was cruising thru the picks until this last round, really struggled making the last pick. Wanted Morgan, but there are about 10 other guys I really want too that won't be around long.

                    Yea I had targeted Koji and Raul with their added stats some bad letters were helped in the couple years we took off. Wonder how a decade draft would be like?

                    • I spent a good 90 mins agonizing over these picks, so i'm sure they're completely wrong. I need to eat dinner now. And definitely crack open a beer.
                      "Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
                      "Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

                        Looking things over the QUIZY's may take a big toll on my score. I hate QUIZY's. I still think this thing is wide open. I should check how my FF team was autodrafted

                        • I was strongly considering Chipper. I think I regret my decision not to take him.

                            actually should not have looked. Quite possibly the worst collection of talent I've ever seen. Or Maybe I know nothing about football. Or maybe both

                              Think you'll have a worse finish than in Idle Hands?
