Is this what they call a "run"?

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-12-2011, 09:11 PM

I see a trade happening in our future.

sterlingice · 03-12-2011, 10:02 PM

6.9 SP Fransisco Liriano, MIN

Had a coin flip here in my mind. Couldn't see the difference- I'm sure one will be better than the other at the end of the season, but I couldn't divine it now.

6.10 Jay Bruce, OF, CIN

samifan24 · 03-12-2011, 11:45 PM

6.11 SS Jimmy Rollins, PHI

Please let him stay healthy this season.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-12-2011, 11:53 PM

If he does you get some great value in the 6th.

Danny · 03-12-2011, 11:55 PM

He's a solid 6th rounder because of his position, but health isn't his only concern. Over his last 1000 AB's, he's been terribly mediocre.

PurdueBrad · 03-13-2011, 12:39 AM

6.12- Aramis Ramirez, 3B, Chicago sCrUBS

7.1- Mat Latos, SP, San Diego Padres

PurdueBrad · 03-13-2011, 12:40 AM

Edited because my bold didn't show up correctly. BTW, Roy, that grammatical error was for you. It's hard living in Chicago where everyone is a sCrUBS or White Sux fan, guh!

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-13-2011, 07:40 AM

Please! Everyone knows there is nothing worse than a boilerFaker fan

Well-played sir! My big problem is that I've lived in ten different states so I really haven't much of the opportunity to be the "home team" fan. So it sucks to be surrounded by other fans 99.9% of the time.

sterlingice · 03-13-2011, 09:46 AM

Mat Latos was the other guy I was deciding between. Went with Liriano, tho.

SI

samifan24 · 03-13-2011, 10:46 AM

7.2 3B Martin Prado, ATL

cubboyroy1826 · 03-13-2011, 10:49 AM

Sami you freakin dog. You took one of my favorite fantasy players.

Ramzavail · 03-13-2011, 11:26 AM

FWIW, I was about to take Prado.

sterlingice · 03-13-2011, 11:30 AM

I was *not* about to take Prado!

(But that's only because I have no idea who I'm about to take so I'm also hitting the lists)

SI

Ramzavail · 03-13-2011, 11:43 AM

7.3 Chris Carpenter, SP, STL

I guess I'll gamble and hope the hammy is OK.

Danny · 03-13-2011, 11:56 AM

We got a chance for a run here

sterlingice · 03-13-2011, 12:40 PM

7.4 1B Billy Butler, KC

Weighing a couple of people from teams I don't like and went with bombing the season from the team I do

SI

sterlingice · 03-13-2011, 12:44 PM

I'm sure the other two I was strongly debating will be gone shortly.

Yahoo and sheet updated thru 7.4

SI

Danny · 03-13-2011, 12:44 PM

7.5 1B Kendrys Morales

sterlingice · 03-13-2011, 12:48 PM

That was one of the two...

SI

sterlingice · 03-13-2011, 12:49 PM

Danny, if you had a choice between both, would you have gone Morales still?

SI

Danny · 03-13-2011, 12:51 PM

Yes, though it was close. I think if this was 5x5 it's a tossup, but Morales should post a better OPS giving him the overall edge for the extra two categories. Of course, he has the greater health concern.

Danny · 03-13-2011, 12:52 PM

SO overall, I think Butler is the more safe choice, but Morales has a potential greater reward. I think both are solid picks though.

Danny · 03-13-2011, 12:53 PM

LWSFS, you going to be the first one to blink?

I'm glad I took him when I did because I didn't think he'd still be around at my next pick.

Danny · 03-13-2011, 12:59 PM

We got people here through the 10th pick of the round right now, nice!

That was my thought, too- Morales had higher upside but higher volatility whereas I kindof knew what I was getting with Butler and, at worst or best, might be pleasantly surprised or slightly underwhelmed.

Wow- 9 in the thread right now

SI

Danny · 03-13-2011, 01:00 PM

You made the choice very easy though, so thanks

cubboyroy1826 · 03-13-2011, 01:02 PM

I will be around or another couple hours and then I have to head out till about 5.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-13-2011, 01:28 PM

Maybe we can get another round done if everyone checks the thread tonight

cubboyroy1826 · 03-13-2011, 06:21 PM

I will be here but that is nothing new.

sterlingice · 03-13-2011, 06:24 PM

I'm filling out brackets and playing Pokemon, so, in short- not much going on.

SI

cubboyroy1826 · 03-13-2011, 06:25 PM

Pokemon really SI? Which version?

Danny · 03-13-2011, 06:27 PM

Yeah, we need to get back around so I can not draft a pitcher again

I'll be around until about 11 pm CST so I'm hoping to make a couple picks as well.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-13-2011, 08:22 PM

So is the next pick due by 10:18 or does anything after 10 move to the next morning?

sterlingice · 03-13-2011, 08:27 PM

(It's 6 hours so it would be 11:18) But, if no pick is made, the next one is slotted for 9am tomorrow morning. Typically, the last weekend we tighten those rules up a bit because we're getting down to the wire but, for now, the weekends are more relaxed, assuming people have more to do.

Of course, if someone (or multiple people) make(s) a pick overnight, then the next one is due at 10am.

SI

cubboyroy1826 · 03-13-2011, 08:30 PM

Okay cool.

PackerFanatic · 03-13-2011, 09:59 PM
