Johnny, great job with the spreadsheet (henceforth known as the "Johnny Sheet.") Can someone come up with an add-on to the ISNA Match formula on the hit_car, hit_seas, pit_car & pit_seas to include the boxes for the KOs?

Thnx. I'll get to that ... I just wanted a quick fix since KO's had started.

I don't object to changing the rounds for KO's if everyone agrees. But I don't see a real need to make the change.

Ditto

Pogues is at work and has no draft info... will pick about 10:30 eastern tonight.

Frae may be too drunk to pick now so by 10:30 I may just pick this Apple Soju guy.

Quick consensus needed:

The rules state that KO's will start in Round 6 and end in Round 13. That gives TS Garp both first and last KO. Probably irrelevant, but in the interests of fairness, I think we should end KO's on an even round ... so please express a preference for Round 12 or Round 14.

I'll go for Round 12 (change of mind)

(I increased it to Round 13 when we added the WC's and were considering 5 KO's)

Option is 12 or 14

14 - 2 votes
12 - no votes
13 (no change) - 3 votes (updated with frae's vote)

I will vote for no change just to keep it how it was, not that it will impact me.

Well after getting a bunch of late night NCAAA hoops games go my way I decided I would pick last night. Not real sure how to value Jeter as his 2012 year is not great, but I liked the idea of taking out two J shortstops and I already used my 1890's slot so no problem with going after that.

[johnnya24]

Well since the status quo or indifference seems to be the overriding impression, we'll just keep things as is.

Heyelander is doing a really good McSeadogstat impression during this draft

Spreadsheet fix:

Hacko picked 2006 for Chase Utley ... he meant to pick 2010 as he already has A-Rod in the 2000's. This has been updated on the Spreadsheet, and history thread.

Looking like we will get to 24 hours without a pick. You might call this a slow day.
