Google Sheets - create and edit spreadsheets online, for free.

claphamsa · 03-16-2015, 09:41 AM

ok, conference calls are booring....spreadsheet is up.

LWSFS- I already to a DL spot for Tulo

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-16-2015, 09:42 AM

Ha! He is going the full 162 this year, I feel it!

claphamsa · 03-16-2015, 09:46 AM

no, hell play for a couple weeks before he hits the DL! cant spend the whole year there

CleBrownsfan · 03-16-2015, 10:21 AM

1.7 Paul Goldschmidt Ari - 1B

Not really a fan of Goldshmidt but can't really pass him up here...

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-16-2015, 10:24 AM

Gotten some questions on the Rex team. So to make things easy, Rex will always get the highest rated player, even the injured ones. The only exception is that starting positions get priority over bench positions, meaning if Rex has all his OF positions filled, but still has no SS. Then a SS should be picked for him even if an OF is rated higher. But this shouldn't come into play until the later rounds.

If you are picking before Rex, pm the person who picks after Rex to let them know its their pick. Hopefully one of you two can put in Rex's picks in the message board.

Once the season starts, I will put the injured players on DL or cut them and pick up the highest rated players that the Rex team needs.

Toddzilla · 03-16-2015, 10:25 AM

1.8 Carlos Gomez MIL - OF

ntndeacon · 03-16-2015, 10:32 AM

Well that means I get to pick for Rex too. Rex is the swing person.

claphamsa · 03-16-2015, 10:34 AM

keep recruiting for rex!

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-16-2015, 10:34 AM

If you are in a hurry and can't do it after you make your picks, just let us know in the thread and I am sure someone can help out.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-16-2015, 10:35 AM

I would love to get someone to take over the Rex team. Apparently, none of us have friends

cubboyroy1826 · 03-16-2015, 10:41 AM

hey guys on the road but i will pick in the next hour. Sorry

I'm asking my brother now.

MizzouRah · 03-16-2015, 11:02 AM

ok my brother is in, hopefully I can get the information to him, I'm not sure if he has internet access at work, but I can post his picks if needed.

MizzouRah · 03-16-2015, 11:13 AM

What do you need from me to get my brother setup? Can someone PM me the league PW?

For now, I'll just post his picks here as he texts me them.

Team name: Bowiesinspace

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-16-2015, 11:31 AM

Good job MizzouRah! I sent your brother the league info and link. Let me know if he needs any further help. Glad we can get rid of this rex nonsense. I think ntndeacon is glad too.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-16-2015, 11:33 AM

1.9 Jose Abreu CWS - 1B

Should have thought of it sooner, he's a baseball freak.

Subby · 03-16-2015, 12:02 PM

1.10 OF Bryce Harper WAS

Ramzavail · 03-16-2015, 12:04 PM

Homer

ntndeacon · 03-16-2015, 12:18 PM

darn it! I was hoping Abreu would fall!

ntndeacon · 03-16-2015, 12:25 PM

1.11 2B Jose Altuve HOU

MizzouRah · 03-16-2015, 12:46 PM

My brother's picks:

1.12 - CF Adam Jones BAL

2.1 - SP (KING) Felix Hernandez SEA

Seriously? Harper? What the everloving fuck, man?

ntndeacon · 03-16-2015, 12:55 PM

2.2 1B/CF/RF Jose Bautista Tor

Ramzavail · 03-16-2015, 12:58 PM

good god, he really played CF? lol

ntndeacon · 03-16-2015, 01:04 PM

That's what I read. Flexibility is fun!

I disagree. Could he have waited? Probably. Do I think it was outrageous (in a free league) to select Bryce Harper in the 1st round? Plus, if knowing the person who selected him lives in the DC Area and goes to Nats games. No. He has the potential to put up better numbers than Adam Jones and he was selected two picks later.

I tell you one thing, he wouldn't have lasted past me at 2.11 / 3.2.

Toddzilla · 03-16-2015, 01:38 PM

Last I checked, we had a scoring system that doesn't account for "potential" or "who I can take the Metro to watch play." Justify it that way if you will, but you simply cannot make an argument that Bryce Harper is a first, second, third, fourth, or even a fifth round pick in a 12-team MLB fantasy league.

But of you want to take him and leave Rendon, Desmond, Scherzer, and Strasburg for me to choose from? Please and Thank You.

Toddzilla · 03-16-2015, 01:50 PM

I stand corrected - ZiPS has Harper projected to be the 45th best fantasy player in the majors, so you can argue a 4th round pick and so a 3rd rounder is only a small stretch.

I show him as #34 at fantasypros.. but he could break out this year.

I'm sure I'll make homer picks that make people laugh at me!

Toddzilla · 03-16-2015, 02:16 PM

touche

Ramzavail · 03-16-2015, 02:21 PM

I just never participate or call people out in those types of situations unless they are super outrageous and are deemed tank worthy (ie. taking Anthony Recker in the first round). Plus, I just think its bad karma or what often happens is when you look back on this draft seven months from now, you'll see that either 1. It was a good pick 2. The player you drafted after shit the bed or got hurt 3. Wish you had the gall to make that pick. I've been doing this for 25 years, I've seen my share of it all.

Ramzavail · 03-16-2015, 02:22 PM

and yes, MizzouRah is a total homer too. Wait until you see all the Cards that flow his way

No doubt about it! Probably why I've sucked since the first season!

claphamsa · 03-16-2015, 02:46 PM

updated....I think I would have taken Harper over Altuve...

ntndeacon · 03-16-2015, 03:19 PM

The other I was looking at for my first pick was Bautista.

Toddzilla · 03-16-2015, 03:44 PM

Who's up?

claphamsa · 03-16-2015, 03:53 PM

according to the spread sheet...is subby

ntndeacon · 03-16-2015, 03:54 PM

Subby, and he has a pm.

claphamsa · 03-16-2015, 03:58 PM

hes probably biking around in the heat...since he knows it will snow thursday

cubboyroy1826 · 03-16-2015, 04:21 PM

I have to leave in about 10 mintues and will be gone for a couple hours.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-16-2015, 06:48 PM

Draft Order is now on the first post and Yahoo is updated.

I knew this sounded familiar...from the wayback machine (last year)

I'll say an incorrect ellipse! it doesn't look round at all!

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-17-2015, 01:19 AM

Subby has until 10 am to make his pick. 3 hour limit during the day.

Please enforce the rules and give the person the top guy on yahoo if he doesn't make his pick in time and pm the next person that it is their pick. It is the only way we have a chance of getting this draft done by opening day.

28 rounds in 20 days, we can do it!!!!
