2.4 Curtis Granderson CF NYY

Travis · 03-07-2012, 05:02 AM

Left a short list with SI for the morning.

sterlingice · 03-07-2012, 06:33 AM

CleBrownsFan (2.5) is up and has until 10am ET.

I have lists for Travis (2.6) and Comey (2.8) and then I pick at 2.9. ntndeacon (2.7) is sandwiched inbetween those.

This morning I have a meeting 9-10 and then this afternoon 1:30-3 but I should be mostly free otherwise.

Yahoo and thread updated thru 2.4

Everyone- what are the thoughts about the clock. Just post in the thread: 8a-10p ET, 8a-10p CT, or 9a-10p ET (8a-9p CT)?

2.6 OF Carlos Gonzalez, COL

Frankly, I think that's one heck of a bargain at this point

SI

PackerFanatic · 03-07-2012, 08:34 AM

I am indifferent to the clock at this point. I will go with whatever the majority wants - mainly because I am typically around more often than not, so if one time fits someone else better, lets go for it.

ntndeacon · 03-07-2012, 08:43 AM

2.7 3B Evan Longoria, TB

Comey · 03-07-2012, 08:57 AM

2.8 2B Dustin Pedroia, BOS

sterlingice · 03-07-2012, 09:02 AM

Comey gets the top pick on his list while I roll the dice that Ian Kinsler can actually stay healthy.

EDIT: Never mind, Comey was here and picked, well, who was first on his list
2.9 2B Ian Kinsler, TEX

For the record, I picked Fred Taylor a lot in Fantasy Football so I have a weakness for the high talent guys who always get hurt. Oh, and I picked Tulo. Note to self: Make sure to pick durable MI backup. Tho, if I had known a couple of the SSs would have been on the board around this time, I would have picked differently in round 1. Oh well.

Yahoo and thread updated thru 2.9.

SI

sterlingice · 03-07-2012, 09:05 AM

Samifan24 is up

BTW, people who send me lists: I delete them after the pick unless you say otherwise (sometimes people around the turn will send a list or even 2 lists for 2 picks, for instance). I don't want to bias my picks towards your future picks

SI

sterlingice · 03-07-2012, 09:07 AM

Also, I'm getting this strange feeling of deja vu. Apparently, I'm attempting to piece together my 6th place finishing teams from 2011 (Tulowitzki) and 2010 (Kinsler).

Third straight 6th place finish, here I come! Semper Mediocre!

samifan24 · 03-07-2012, 10:07 AM

2.9 SS/3B Hanley Ramirez, MIA

TRO · 03-07-2012, 10:25 AM

I knew it was too good to be true to think Hanley would fall to me

2.11 SS Jose Reyes, MIA

Ramzavail · 03-07-2012, 10:32 AM

i was about to say....I can't be pick 11.

sami is 2.10
and TRO is 2.11

Ramzavail · 03-07-2012, 10:37 AM

2.12 Felix Hernandez, SP, SEA

Ramzavail · 03-07-2012, 10:37 AM

3.1 CC Sabathia, SP, NYY

TRO · 03-07-2012, 11:08 AM

Ramz took both of the guys that I had really wanted so...

3.2 SP Tim Lincecum, SF

samifan24 · 03-07-2012, 12:49 PM

3.3 CF Andrew McCutchen, PIT

It was either McCutchen or Stanton here. Tough call.

sterlingice · 03-07-2012, 02:42 PM

Ok- back. Sorry, again, meetings today. Will pick in the next half hour but updating the list first

SI

sterlingice · 03-07-2012, 03:17 PM

3.4 1B Mark Teixeira, NYY

I also thought long and hard about Stanton

SI

TRO · 03-07-2012, 03:28 PM

I considered Teixeira pretty hard at my pick, but it wasn't such a slam dunk that I was willing to draft a Yankee.

sterlingice · 03-07-2012, 03:29 PM

Yeah, it's a moral dilemma, to be sure.

SI

Comey · 03-07-2012, 04:08 PM

Might as well do it, because the value is too good to pass up:

3.5 OF Giancarlo Stanton, MIA

ntndeacon · 03-07-2012, 04:09 PM

I figured that would happen. but phooey none the less

ntndeacon · 03-07-2012, 04:11 PM

3.6 SP Cole Hamels, Phi

Comey · 03-07-2012, 04:14 PM

^I was going to take him, but I worry about the contract talk.

TRO · 03-07-2012, 04:23 PM

You did ok with Giancarlo. That's a steal.

Travis · 03-07-2012, 04:33 PM

3.7 - SP - Jered Weaver - LAA

Danny · 03-07-2012, 04:50 PM

Welp, looks like I won't be taking a pitcher with these picks either.

CleBrownsfan · 03-07-2012, 06:27 PM

3.8 Stephen Strasburg SP

He's a HoF'er in my solo OOTP league - so.....

Danny · 03-07-2012, 07:03 PM

Wow, surprised he went this early. I was hoping I could snag him with my 4th/5th. Certainly is a nice risk/reward pick

4.01 OF Josh Hamilton

sterlingice · 03-08-2012, 06:49 AM

Yahoo and thread updated thru 4.1

With no real strong feelings either way from most, I went with changing the draft time from 9am-10pm ET instead of 8-10. Hopefully that will better accommodate other time zones.

Also, after 3pm today, I'm going to be offline until late (going to the Big Ten Tournament tonight) so I will not be a good person to send lists to. I may even have to send a list to someone else if we haven't turned the corner back up at the other end of the draft. Again, remember before sending a list- post in the thread to see if someone is available to receive the list so that you know if they've gotten it or not.

SI

CleBrownsfan · 03-08-2012, 07:53 AM

Nice - enjoy SI. I'm heading to the MAC games tomorrow. I love this time of year!!

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-08-2012, 08:28 AM

Because of my abnormally low iq can someone explain when I have to get my pick in by?

PackerFanatic · 03-08-2012, 08:40 AM

I believe you have until 11AM EST (since the pick was made after the deadline, you have an additional two hours from the start of the clock, which is now 9AM EST)

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-08-2012, 08:43 AM

Ok. Thanks. I'll make the pick in an hour.

MizzouRah · 03-08-2012, 09:15 AM

Damn.. I wanted Holliday to slip to me.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-08-2012, 09:49 AM

4.2 David Price SP

Think he is due for a bounce back year. Only got 3.93 runs per start last year.

PackerFanatic · 03-08-2012, 09:58 AM

Can't say I am thrilled to be drafting a Cub, but I like the upside.

4.3 Starlin Castro, SS, CHC

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-08-2012, 10:00 AM

Great pick. I have had him the last two years. He is the only cubs player I have ever taken.

MizzouRah · 03-08-2012, 10:30 AM

4.4 CJ Wilson SP - ANA

CleBrownsfan · 03-08-2012, 12:04 PM

4.5 C Carlos Santana Cle

Homer pick but I think he's out for a big year..

TRO · 03-08-2012, 12:12 PM

I almost took Santana with the 3.2. I think it is a great pick.
