And there goes the only pitcher I would have taken with my next pick, more hitters for me!

I must admit, I will be closely following LWSFS' team this year to see if this strategy of all pitchers pays off...

sterlingice · 03-14-2011, 08:52 AM

Site was down- MizzouRah contacted me and said he will check again once he gets to work.

With the site down, I'd give him a little grace period. I emailed him that it was back up so let's say 11am

cubboyroy1826 · 03-14-2011, 10:37 AM

And the first closer is off the board. Do we see a run here?

Sometimes you gotta roll the dice.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-14-2011, 11:20 AM

I was wondering when someone would pickup Utley. May be a big reward for taking the plunge. I kept trying to find info on his status.

8.4 - 3B - Mark Reynolds - BAL

Suicane75 · 03-14-2011, 11:26 AM

In my gut i'm worried he wont be playing much this year. But if miracles happen I'll have a stud second basemen and a supermodel wife.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-14-2011, 11:30 AM

Well see you have that going for you.

CleBrownsfan · 03-14-2011, 11:37 AM

8.5 Grady Sizemore CF

Homer pick but could end up being a solid pick here if he returns healthy from knee surgery.

Same, here. I was trying to weigh (% of Utley's season) * (% of Utley's stud production) * (Production) > (Current Pick)

If he's only out for a couple of weeks and he plays at 90%, then you just got 2nd round production for a 9th round cost. But it seems like there's a chance that (% of Utley's season) = 0, in which case Billy Butler definitely outweighs him. But I had him on my list the last couple of rounds and was considering him.

haha, I'll have to get me some of those sometime

Danny · 03-14-2011, 02:50 PM

But you guys have to stop leaving me hitters I can't pass up

Also, anyone else slightly disappointed that LWSFS's first two non-pitchers were Pedro Alvarez and Mike Stanton? I was expecting something like "Barry Bonds out of retirement" and "The Ghost of Babe Ruth"! And Wandy to be the first pitcher for samifan? It's like breaking a fast for a rice cake rather than a Brazillian BBQ.

Same goes for you, too, Danny and Suicane. I'm expecting something more than "Uh, I need a pitcher so Jorge De La Rosa, you're the best of the crap that's left!" It'd better be like "I have an inside scoop that Strasburg is coming back this year!! AND HE HAS A BIONIC ARM!!1!"

SI

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-14-2011, 08:28 PM

To be honest, I wanted to go Pedro Cerrano with my first hitter pick. But I heard too many reports that he was having trouble with the curveball so I went alvarez instead.

Come on Danny giddy up and pick a hitter.

sterlingice · 03-14-2011, 09:16 PM

I mean, he was just staring at it. And, well, you can't guess if one of us might go hitter or pitcher- it turns out we might go either way- we were right there

Here's hoping he can slug like his 1st year and not hurt my team too bad there. He should improve
