    I really wanted to leave my second catcher until later, but was afraid I'd end up having to use a good letter and/or decade on a crap player.

    This format is terrific. It's a massive cluster fuck. Even if someone makes a pick that doesn't affect you, it affects someone else and can force them into making rash moves that will impact you.

      It's supposed to get easier the further we get.

      Theoretically we should be able to burn through the last few rounds at record pace.

        I wouldn't call continuity errors funny, but I'm glad you see things my way now.

        • At home and can now focus. Pick up Irishly.
          Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

            On a more VD related note, I am starting to get a little worried that I'll back myself into a corner where I'm going to be unable to field a legal team. This draft is insane.
            I thought this was just for fun and friendly competition. Seriously, you have a bunch of attorneys working with you ? Are there some liability issues I haven't considered ?

              • I've been using a pen and paper for this draft. There's too much crap going on on the screen and the various Spreadsheets to keep track. A couple of A4 sheets makes life so much simpler. To hell with the electronic office!

                  I'm using quite a bit of paper too. Should have my pick up soon

                  • Some (non-essential) SS changes: I switched the Standings order on the snapshot so that the Hitting and Pitching were side-by-side rather than the Career and Best Year, and also added the number of hitters and pitchers to this table.

                    I've also added a copy of the Standings to the Rounds tab for the last few rounds so you can instantly see how plugging in different players / combinations is affecting you. (edit: I'll try and find a way to de-uglify it)

                            Wait, didn't you do something like that last time, too? Tsk tsk.
                            Mock One is relaxing, candy for the brain, whereas this is a mindf!ck of epic proportions. Mock 1 was a nice short break from trying to figure out my next picks.

                            • My last pick was my hardest. Having a list of players, albeit short, and then trying to figure out when to draft each of them based on the likelihood when someone else will take that player even though so few people can take each of those players plus considering your needs and who is most needed to make sure you stay close in the standings and considering back up plans to each letter, position, decade is enough to realize...Garp is right...this is a mindfuck.

                              And I love it.
