I thought we added a 16th pick too...I always liked Alfonseca and he is twice the pitcher Hall of Famer Mordecai Brown was - cavebird 12-8-05
You'd be surprised on how much 16 months in a federal pen can motivate you - gashousegang 7-31-06

Any thoughts?Originally posted by Erik View PostI agree with Frae.Originally posted by revo View PostI have no problem with that.Originally posted by Hornsby View PostIt's fairly irrelevant, other than thinning out the WW by 12 positions...Originally posted by eldiablo505I think we have enough bench spots but am pretty ambivalent. If everyone else feels strongly I'll be happy to go along.Originally posted by phantaciephreak View PostPersonally I think our rosters are deep enough as they are, but I have no issues with adding an extra round and bench spot.
Just wondering about the 16th rd pick definitivelyI always liked Alfonseca and he is twice the pitcher Hall of Famer Mordecai Brown was - cavebird 12-8-05

There's just no need for 16 picks, IMO. We already have a 6 man bench, and I'd rather have the WW be a little more robust than people hoarding players."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Originally posted by Trautdiggity View PostI have a problem with this. Had I known we were doing this (which wasn't indicated by draft order previous,y) I wouldn't have acted a kicker with my previous pick. I did because I thought it was my last pick.
I'm not sure what to tell you here. This was brought to my attention a few hours ago by another camp who had a problem with the alternative.

If some sort of definitive statement had been made on this before the draft started, that would have helped everyone. Instead, a proposal was made, a few people gave their opinions on it, most people said nothing, and no indication was given as to whether the proposal would be adopted. Formally adopting the proposal -- even though I agree with it -- while we're in the 14th round is kind of shoddy. This league has a shallow bench and knowing you have an extra round at your disposal can make for a huge difference in strategy, as much as you poo-pooh the available talent.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I'm with Ed on this...it really doesn't make a whit of difference in the long run. Since there really wasn't an official vote, let's table it until next year and have a 16 round draft then if that's what people want."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

I understand Traut and Erik's consternation but I was drafting the whole way ASSUMING a 16th round since it was on the CBS site (I didn't know about the quirk needing an extra rd for reserve drafting).
Think of it the other way... if you think you are drafting 15 and get another round, bonus... if you think you are drafting 16 and you find out its 15 in the late rounds that's much more impactful on strategy than the former, IMO.I always liked Alfonseca and he is twice the pitcher Hall of Famer Mordecai Brown was - cavebird 12-8-05
