Johnny screwin up again and letting his mailbox get full.

Ed just pointed out that I have already used an 80's hitter before Schmidt. Amazingly no one else noticed that. Instead of going way back and making changes, I will just take 1974. Thanks.

I actually have Schmidt's 1974 as more valuable than his 1980 (that's ignoring any plans you may have had for 1970s hitter, of course)

well post in the draft thread please or email me. I read the drivel we write in here like once a day

[johnnya24]

Can't remember the last time I even opened my SS ... and I feel like dog shit today!

I'm on it.

I have cleaned up the Draft Thread. FYI Heyelander picked Jeff Bagwell, 2000 ... not Gregg Olson or Jeff Bagwell 1999.

I think this could only improve my finish in the standings... I'll make whatever ill researched pick I make and then Johnny will come on and say "FYI, Heyelander Picked <insert well researched intelligent pick>... not whatever ninny he chose."

[TS Garp]

Trying to get out of the office. I'll pick from home in the next couple hours.

Kept finding reasons not to take Drysdale (although I would've taken '58)

For some reason I thought he was gone already. Seems like every draft there are 1 or 2 guys that I'm sure are taken that are available. The KO's sure made this draft different than the last, plus we had one extra drafter. We should see a lot of interesting picks down the stretch.

[johnnya24]

Here's the complete KO list: 44 players ... add another 45 players (23 because we have 1 extra participant & 22 from the extra Wildcards), and you can see that we'll be getting significantly deeper into the player pool this time. 89 players deeper to be exact. Saying that, it's still only as deep as a 15 person draft.

kb - Michael Young went in the fourth round.

[johnnya24]

I PM'd him ...

[johnnya24]

The rules say 1 hour to repick given an error (it's been nearly 3 hours) ... I think we should skip and move on. Knuckler has no reason to check on for a long time, and we can't stay in limbo all day for a mispick.

Can someone second this ... I'm next to pick and it might seem like a conflict of interest if I push on regardless.
