[The Feral Slasher]

No-one is obviously Bogarting this time ... of course, the contest has yet to take shape. Plenty of time for Slasher to get in gear

I don't see how you guys can not Bogart it every draft, I'm not liking the conservative sensible approach at all.

[heyelander]

all ya'll's picks suck.

[Controller Jacobs]

That was agonizing. I guess I'm not Bogarting the draft with that pick. But he just stood out in my rankings...let's see if I regret that pick as much as ElD did last draft....which was screaming in my head the entire time.

You think you've got worries, I have 3 picks from hacko's vd5, and he took Kelly in the 6th. Hopefully I don't finish the way he did (I have Larry Jackson and one other player as easily the two worst from last draft)

Your first two picks are what I probably would have taken if I was in your spot, I was really wishing I was picking 6th instead of 7th.

Please say Gerald Young please say Gerald Young...

I really should have...I've never had the thrill of grabbing such a huge lead...but letting Ott fall to me made it too hard...and now I'm in a downward spiral.

yup, those two by a mile

Of course, with the usual qualifier - that scoring lacks context.

There were so many crappy players picked, it's hard to name just one

There should be more this time around.

I know Gerald Young was not a quality pick, but when you aren't going to win, why not pick someone you like! I did the same way back when I selected Kevin Seitzer with my S.

But Young was a horrible pick!

N closer run

[heyelander]

screw... I was trying to decide between Torre and Piazza with my last pick. Then I decided that since I wasn't sure which to take, I would take my N closer and follow it up with whichever one was left (or I had settled on Torre if both were still available) once it came back around to me.

[johnnya24]

Already after only 4 rounds, only 4 people can still take an R and an 1880's hitter ... I had to manually check that to confirm it. This format heats up fast!

Not counting WC's of course ... WC's kill the purity of the pain of this format IMO.

[johnnya24]

Collins was the third name on my last imaginary shortlist: Speaker, Duffy & Collins. Had Collins typed in then changed my mind ... didn't want to fill all my MI slots too soon.

I will be out of my main work office for a week or so, I'm not sure if I'll have access to the web during the workday. I think I will, if not and I'm dragging things to a screeching halt, then feel free to skip me.
