[The Feral Slasher]

Hey there Heyelander
What's it like in Japanese city?
I'm a thousand miles away
you Got drunk and you draft shitty
yes you do

Heye there heyelander
Give yourself another minute
But if u dont pick real soon
We're going to give you Rennie Stennet yes we will
Your open wildcard spot we'll fill
Such a bitter pill



Oopps. I am.too late

[heyelander]

Here it is. I'll post in in the draft thread.

Oh, ha, I thought he was mocking me. Didn't read that closely

[johnnya24]

So I whine about the lack of activity in the Com thread. I go to sleep. Everyone starts posting. I wake up. Everyone is gone.

[mjl]

I'm still here! Give me some advice!

So at this late point in the draft, two questions:

1) Should I just accept last place in CH RBI and CP SO? In SO I at least have a shot of moving up to second-to-last, but I'm not sure there's a reasonable path for RBI, not that I've looked that closely at what positions/letters the other people in poor shape have.

2) For N and V at this point should I just be happy taking someone that doesn't make me lose points?

1) That's the hard part at this stage ... trying to put all the pieces together at your remaining letters. Lat Name is harder than Decades drafts in this regards because letters are viable at both hitting or pitching.

It's hard to predict final targets, but I would suggest looking at other teams who are close in these categories, eyeballing their possible final totals, and then see if you think you can compete. If not, then try to maximise your numbers elsewhere. but also be careful not to overshoot your targets. Look were your numbers are grouped with other teams and maybe divert attention there.

2) I'm in the same boat with dross letters. It's all a much-the-sameness at this stage.

[mjl]

also, a weird thing that makes me nervous about the spreadsheet - why do the totals change as soon as I type "p9" into the Rounds page for my team? Like, before I have a player or year?

[johnnya24]

If the player Id and year are incorrect, or missing, nothing will work until that is fixed.

[johnnya24]

Fill in the P9 or h6 cell is after the player Id and year.

Can you post your standings so we can see where they are? Hopefully all in one category.

[mjl]

mine matches Johnny's, though I'm using his spreadsheet so that isn't too surprising.

Hang on, just copied all the picks from the history thread, and I'll double check Rd 18. Gimme a few.

No hurry. I have to pop out for an hour.

[revo]

OK, nevermind, I'm good now. I had Bill Nicholson with 1943 and not 1944. Carry on!
