My list getting crushed this round.

If I had any hope of winning, I would love that. At this point, I just want to finish top half and finish my team legally, lol.

Anyone regretting not including flips yet?

Happy fathers day guys, I decided not to waste too much time on that pick, drank a bit too much last night so looking at the computer was hurting my head.

I regret not having free movement of franchises like positions. Flips seemed silly.

There's my hope. I know my team is a flaming mess. Maybe everyone else's teams are also flaming messes.

Well, at least Bene being slow has allowed me time to decide on my pick. Of course, if he takes another hour, I might change my mind again.

[Bene Futuis]

Sorry that took a bit. Party time for Father's Day! Lol, not really but you take what you can get in this day and age.

So.....what are flips?

So.....what are flips?

I proposed allowing X number of flips ... meaning you could flip a franchise that you had already selected if that player had a different eligibility. I wasn't sure if this draft would be easier or harder than Decades, so I figured the extra flexibility might be useful ... to be safe.

e.g. I picked Ruth who is BOS / NYY as a NYY. If I wanted a later NYY player, I could flip his franchise to BOS (if I still had BOS available that is). There would be a finite amount of flips so we could still easily keep track.

No one commented / liked it, and one person opposed it. So I dropped it.

I could have used this, because when I took Eddie Collins as a White Sock (rather than an Athletic) it meant I had to take Carlton Fisk as a Red Sock.

OTOH, if I'd flipped it I never could have acquired the great Jack Quinn we've talked so much about!

So that's a round about way of saying, thank god we don't have flips

[johnnya24]

Cross, Greenberg and Frisch ... that's a nice trio

... Carew as well.
