Seems like Carey, Kauff, and Zimmerman all ended up being great values. I really regret taking Shoeless Joe so early.

Carey and Kauff for sure ... Zimmerman seems more like a par pick in terms of value. CJ could probably have waited even longer on him if he wanted ... there was only 1 other candidate who would likely take a MI from the 1910's (I think).

[johnnya24]

Sh!t, I picked my 1910s guy in the 2nd round. Now there's some value for ya! LoL.

You gotta pick 'em sometime.

That's a bold statement considering 3 of us could have still taken him, and he was coming into his value zone at this point in the draft.

HOWEVER, considering I wasn't really looking at him for my MI, or anyone else from the 1910s, you only need one of the other two to have the same thought to be right.

I recant my previous statement. I was actually looking at the wrong decade

Still not used to the Seitzer's spread sheet.

Spreadsheet is current through Hacko's pick in Rd 22.

[TS Garp]

I'll make my pick when I get into the office in the next hour.

[Pogues]

It's like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun trying to figure out which of my target players is most likely to be taken by someone else.

[Long John]

I'll pick in a few minutes. I think I know who I want, but I also have some Russian Roulette to play.

A few minutes turns into an hour as you sweat it and get lost in the research. Both the fun and torture of Vintage Drafting.

[Long John]

Yeah. 73 minutes. No surprises.

edit to add: Did I mention how annoyed I am that I had to take on Evans' .248 career batting average?

[Pogues]

At least I know next time I tell someone "a few minutes", I can argue anything under 73 qualifies! I was wondering if someone was going to take the Evans plunge.

Not after the Killebrew plunge.

I leave for business Monday around 5:30am EST - will be tied up until after supper Mon/Tues/Weds. I will make picks at night from the hotel if my turn comes up (I assume it will). Apologies for the future delays but I don't know another way to update my sheets and get online for a pick until evening, or early morning of each day.

Sounds to me like you need a personal assistant
