Pretty sure Cochrane had either been drafted or already KO'd.

He was
10.13 Whitey Ford P 1958 | KO Mickey Cochrane C

[revo]

BTW, this Soulful Pee doof is also starting injured players. So much for his claim that he would be "very active" in FAAB to replace the shlubs he got stuck with when he bungled his auto-draft. I shot Hornsby an email saying enough is enough with this clown.

How many does TFS get to correct it? Both Revo and I changed one earlier, but it was done quickly. Maybe until the next drafter makes a pick?

Can Long John recover from the hole he's in with the hitting categories? Normally, I'd say yes, but with KO's, a lot of offense that would normally be around is off the board or will be. Note that in the last draft I warned that TFS had burned too many good letters early and he won, so this is actually a good luck omen for Long John.

TBH ... I'd want a bit more from my pitching if I went with 8-6 pitcher-hitter ratio. LJ isn't going to get great value from his remaining good decades by leaving them so long. With 3 closers in the first 14 picks, he should really have saves wrapped up and the key thrown away ... but 120/767 doesn't seem like great reward for 3 first half picks.

Long way to go though ...

We can KO up to round 18. Give it back to him, of course, but let's move on if the next guy show up. If Feral gets the ko in before the next drafter, cool. If not, I can't imagine it was a key ko for him (and if it was, mission already accomplished).

Feral is only on once or twice per day I think. There is nothing in the rules that say we wait for incorrect KO's. We should codify that for next time ... if you make a wrong KO ... it is simply voided. It's only a KO ... pointless delay IMO.

Feral still has 3 rounds to make his last 2 KO's. If he were to log on before LJ picks and wants to change I'd have no problem with that ... but we shouldn't delay ... and we probably shouldn't allow KO changes once the draft has moved on.

[The Feral Slasher]

I agree. We don't need to wait for another KO, as he'll have several more rounds of KOing to go.

Sorry about that. I'll change my pick to no KO. Kids are on spring break and I'm not at work so I'm rarely in the house or online, having trouble keeping up with this, and trying not to delay things too much...

[Long John]

I don't know if my strategy will work, but it's a strategy, by gone, and I'm sticking with it.

[Pogues]

I have a strategy...but it's much too complicated for anyone to understand it. Especially me.

[hacko]

I have no strategy and I am damn good at carrying
it out!!

[TS Garp]

Very happy that Breshnahan was still around, as catcher has gotten so damn thin...

Especially with some folk KO'ing them twice

Just right ... bailing on a strategy is usually a recipe for disaster.
