*** VD 15 Commentary Thread ***

Also, this is where we bitch about our picks being taken, right? Helton was all lined up for me.

D is about to fall off a cliff, and I can't pick some of the other options, so Dahlen felt like the best of a bunch of sketchy options. Is it even good to fill out my Mi this early? Even that feels wrong. I never do that.

Was going to reluctantly pick Delahanty, which probably would have been a mistake, so glad Heye took that one away from me.

Avoiding modern hitters like the plague ... but they are soooooooooooo tempting.

So that's a yes, wow!

Very nice pick, indeed. He might have been a better pick than Hugh Duffy, although I'd already blocked myself out of the PHI franchise. Nothing worse than picking some letter relatively early on and seeing a guy you can't pick just sit there and sit there and sit there, taunting you, mocking your very existence.

I've got one still out there, taunting me.

I think "contemporary" is defined as players who played in 1999-2004, inclusive.

I thought it was 2005, but I am not sure anymore. I had this problem at about page 10 of this thread, lol.

Yep, this is the place. So, dammit on Dahlen. Then again, after Davis went, I didn't even bother adding him to my short list because I knew he wouldn't be far behind.

Every time cavebird says "damn" an angel gets its wings.

[Bene Futuis]

All my players keep making it all the way back to me. I’m sure this is a terrible sign.

[cavebird]

Another tragic figure.

You know you're up, right?

[cavebird]

This is going to be a f'king bloodbath.

I can only see roadblocks and compromises ahead.

I think it's going to be worse than that, lol.

Or you just picked and I got the order all mixed up again. One or the other.

Look at the rookie reading us the rules, who brought this guy?

Some punk who keeps stealing my guys. Then again, he might have a reason to try to get some payback this time around.

On a separate note, interesting how people value franchises---at least two picks this round where the team picking a player with multi-franchise eligibility and the ability to put the player at either went with the franchise I had rated significantly higher than the other eligible franchise.

On a final separate note, both of my short list guys made it back. It might be 20-30 minutes for my pick. It's a tough call, and I have to look at backups at the positions and which franchises they play for.

There is great chaos under heaven....and the situation is excellent

[The Feral Slasher]

It was Yates, Yost and yechh. Yates and Yost are gone

[Bene Futuis]

Palmeiro, one of a half dozen guys that I was shocked to have made it back to me, lol. Anyways, some of you probably know wtf they're doing. Not me, son!!!
