I have been very busy lately - work and tomorrow is my Fantasy draft (27 year old Al only league that I am the Commissioner of) and to be honest I just look at a Spreadsheet today - Have today off for good friday. So I am not quite sure what I am doing. I decided at the start of the draft I would play this draft more like chess then depending on the rankings / value. Not sure where it will take me but it is kind of a fun strategy to try. I am sure I will be fuck in the end.

I really don't have a strategy and it's tough to get organized when you've never done one of these before. Do the wildcards mean we can double up on 2 letters?

You are very well anchored for career numbers ... hitting and pitching, but especially your pitching.
... and to echo what ElD said ... this is the deep end of vintage drafting. As a first timer, if you can keep your head above water in this format you'll have done really well.

But you'll have to let us know how you think you did when we're done. I really enjoy when people critique their own strategy.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?

As a group, we got bored with that and really started doing screwy ass things...this is the screwiest along with the one time we did franchises and letters and I think we had knockouts also. By the end those of us left with our brains still in our heads were the only ones who did well.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?
