Fantasy Baseball Draft is ready to go!

[fadeaway]

The order has been determined and we're ready to start! Although the official draft start date is March 1st, we can start it now whenever we want. It's just that the 24 hour time limit for each pick won't kick in until tomorrow.

Ren managed to get the first pick of the draft - congrats to him. I pick second, so I'm happy about that.

I think we should use this forum as a home base throughout the draft, like PhiSlammaJamma suggested, so we can co-ordinate our picks and just discuss stuff.

I'm eager to get started. It's up to Ren now to make the first pick! http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/smile.gif

Anybody want to trade up to number 3....

I do

[PhiSlammaJamma]

Ren and Fade, I'll trade up to 1 or 2 if a fair deal.

I'd give you a late round pick for free or
I'd flip flop my picks with you in the
2nd, 4th and 10th round. Giving you a few spots advantage in each round.

By the way, I'll be in computer training tomorrow all day so I won't have email, but will check the bbs and rumor mills frequently since I'll be on a computer. So I'll be able to make my picks. I'll also be on line tonight for about an hour between 11:1am ESt if your guys make your picks.

Finn, I'm willing to trade down if the first two picks go as expected. Make a fair deal and we could work something out.

On second thought, I think I will stay put PSJ. I see potential where I am.

Well, it's finally underway.

First three picks have been made and nemers is on the clock.

[PhiSlammaJamma]

Describe your picks so we have some light reading while we are waiting...

Alex Rodriquez: SS: 3rd Pick Overall

I was sad to see Johnson and Martinez come off the draft Board. It was expected, but sad. After drying my eye I drafted down the middle and went after the best SS in the majors. Alex had to be the pick. He has been very consistent. My only concern will be his adjustment to playing in Texas, but the line up is killer, so his output should be good in all five categories. Maddux was very tempting for me and I'll leave it at that.




------------------
humble, but hungry.

[fadeaway]

Well. Randy Johnson at #2 was a bit of a no-brainer. I was kind of hoping that Ren would take Johnson and leave me Pedro, but I'll gladly take Big Unit.

------------------
My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.

[Ren D]

Well,with the 1st pick it was either between Johnson and Pedro for me,obviously!

But you can bet I will make some stupid picks before this draft is up!!!

I was going to go after a SP the 1st RD no matter what pick I had,i was going to try in wait until the 3rd round to get my 1st position player but I might end up caving!!!

Ren just called me and said he locked himself out of the house, so won't be able to make any picks.

Go on with yer bad self, Jeff!

[Ren D]

I'm ready to go. I got my copmuter off limits and I'll be checking all day. Just so y'all know, I'm gonna be pretty busy this weekend, so I may be slow in drafting after today, so let's get this done as quickly as possible today.

Damn.. still no picks this morning.

I hope this shady nemers guy didn't desert us.

Maybe the slow draft format wasn't such a good idea..

------------------

[fadeaway]

I'll be hopping off and on all day, so you shouldn't have to wait very long for any of my picks.

I think everyone should try to make at least 3-4 picks a day.. probably more.

It's a really long draft (25 rounds) and it'll take forever if we don't get the ball rolling.

------------------

[PhiSlammaJamma]

Jeepers Creepers...Nemers is late for practice. I'm going to see if he is the Astros BBS since that is his favorite team.


------------------

fadeaway - shady, huh? good to see the fan club is building. and the label presented itself for what reason again?

------------------

[fadeaway]

No offense. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/smile.gif

You're shady because you haven't posted much so we don't know you yet. You're like the mystery man.

Glad you made it, though. Looking forward to a good league.

[PhiSlammaJamma]

Jent, Describe your pick. We'd be interested to hear why you selected Kevin Brown. I was very tempted to draft him or Maddux.

------------------
humble, but hungry.

[chrisjent]

I wouldn't say that Brown was in any way a head and shoulders pick above Maddux. Last year, Brown wasn't near as dominating as he had been in the previous two years with the Padres, yet he still only had one less win than Maddux. Both their ERA's will hover around the low three's, both will throw around two hundred innings a season, but Brown gets the slight edge in being a strikeout pitcher (earning a few extra points everytime he takes the monund). And on a completely unrelated note, I had Maddux on my squad last year, so I wanted to change things up a bit.

nice picks so far guys
