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! ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
9th pick???? SOMEONE IS GONNA PAY FOR THIS ------------------ "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."- (Aldous Huxley)
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. ------------------ humble, but hungry. [This message has been edited by PhiSlammaJamma (edited February 28, 2001).]
On second thought, I think I will stay put PSJ. I see potential where I am. ------------------ "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."- (Aldous Huxley)
Potential to screw me , play nice BobFinn .Who would have known after my post in the rumor mill I 'd really get the last pick, oh well time to work my magic....oh yeah I haven't got any ------------------ I'm worse at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed [This message has been edited by Summer Song Giver (edited February 28, 2001).]
Cmon Ren, lets get this ball rollin SSG, we have a long wait after that 2nd round pick ------------------ "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."- (Aldous Huxley)
Well, it's finally underway. First three picks have been made and nemers is on the clock. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
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.
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.
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!!! ------------------ If I had only 1 wish it would be that I had a big enough @ss the whole world could kiss-Eminem
Ren just called me and said he locked himself out of the house, so won't be able to make any picks. j/k... ------------------ "There is a long-term study being done of women and their menstrual cycles and preliminary findings show that women in the US have had their puberty move from beginning around 15 or 16 in the 1960's to around 11 or 12 today as compared with women in China who still reach puberty around 15 or 16." -- Jeff Balke has nothing left to save (including his mind apparently) and has decided to become the Cliff Claven of the board. Go on with yer bad self, Jeff!
1 question before Im off till morrow,do you get an email when your turn has come up again or do you just have to know? ------------------ If I had only 1 wish it would be that I had a big enough @ss the whole world could kiss-Eminem
You get emailed after every pick. Well, I'm off for the night. Hopefully, a bunch of picks will be made when I get back. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
I'm ready to go. As a note, my internet access will now be limited to early morning and late at night, so if I end up causing a mid-day delay, I apologize in advance.

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. ------------------ Behad Sergeant at Arms of the Clutch BBS
What he said goes for me too. ------------------ I'm worse at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed
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.. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
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. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
