For some reason I thought we had 17 drafters...but we still have 15, the same you had last draft. Silly me! I think I've modified it in the places needed, which is essentially the names for each of the draft positions. I'm really not sure though...so if anyone wants to see what I've done to check it, I'll welcome it.

Arifmatic is hard

Pick in the am.

Sorry. Migraine all day. It started to go away but it's back. Pick in the PM.

Re-fixed




Hope the migraine is gone and feeling better, Wayne... I get them on occasion, debilitating... MSG is an instant migraine initiator for me.

Not a Knicks fan, huh?

It's still before noon...

my head still hurts. I think it's the initial week of allergy season here. If it's that I'm in trouble because I still am having waves of nausea. I'm hoping lunch will make some things better.

regardless, let me go look and see what it going on and make some picks.

[heyelander]

so when we restarted did we change the rules, or just restart to let people know the rules were different? i.e. are we drafting every decade for hitters now or not?

[Pogues]

Seems every decade will be used for hitters, because Johnny like torture methods unused in first world countries.

We added 2 roster slots (15 hitters and 12 pitcher). C'est tout.

So yes, every decade for hitters just like VD23 ... and an extra pitching slot so that we maintain an uneven number of rounds.

Which sucks because I don't get to post this:

Just don't ask too many questions.

[heyelander]

so... RJEL question.

Guys on options this year. can extend for $5 a year. Who do I give contracts to and how long?

M Young $20 - Keep and play out or throw back?
R Zimmerman $22 - Keep and play out or throw back?
B Gardner $4 - Extend 1 year?
McCutchen $3 - Extend 2 years? 3?
Gallardo - $23 - Keep or throw back?

I don't have a ton of good keepers...

[heyelander]

Want to trade one of your good guys for two of mine? I think I have 11 keepers right now plus a few more borderline guys.

send me something. I guess anyone aside from McCutchen is available in the right deal.

Off-topic bragging break:

Very cool article about one of my clients and his controversial visit to AZ in today's New York Times:

Awesome article. Arizona is an embarrassment to the union.

What makes it even worse is that Phoenix pretty much has total control over the state and they are far more right-wing than most of the state (Flagstaff and Tucson are much more liberal as well as all of the Tribal areas). This why the Baja Arizona movement formed.

also interested in a deal. I'll shoot you an offer too.
