PyroclasticFlow Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Quote 3) Personally, I'd be okay with pushing back the draft by 30-45 minutes, if it means you can show up on time. Not sure how people on the East coast would feel about that though. Guessing it would be okay for Groz, since he always wants it as late as possible. So is it decided? When will draft start on Wednesday 9:30 or 9:45pm ET? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronn Stone Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 My boss already approved me leaving at 3:45 to make it on time. I'll just have to rush less this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grozeng Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Sorry, have been absent. Every year I always ask for the P spot because I like the middle reliever that comes in and gets 3 Ks and no walks. But am fine with whatever the group decided on and probably best I was not here because then it would have been tied and more debate. And thanks for moving the draft back. My daughter's soccer practice ends at 9pm, so 9:45 is perfect for me. Otherwise I was going to be auto-auctioning for the first 30 minutes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskeyjack Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Sort of happy with my team, but less than I would have hoped. Feel like I was a bit thrown off by getting Mookie at the start - great player, but didn't really fit with my strategy, and I ended up adjusting at a couple of other positions to compensate. Also probably spent too much on young upside OF instead of getting more reliable established players - feel like I had a lot of success doing that last year, and went away from it this year for some reason. C - W.Contreras 1B - E.Encarnacion 2B - N.Walker SS - T.Story 3B - N.Arenado CI - T.Joseph MI - B.Miller OF - M.Betts, G.Polanco, Y.Tomas, C.Granderson, N.Mazara UT - A.Benintendi, D.Dahl Bench - J.Bour, M.Semien, B.Buxton SP - J.Lester, J.deGrom, K.Hendricks, A.Nola, J.Ross, J.Cotton, D.Pomeranz, L.Lynn, A.Wood, T.Glasnow RP - S.Dyson, N.Feliz, B.Kintzler Feel like I'm very strong at C, 1B, SS, 3B, and a couple OF spots, and really like my pitching. But weak at 2B and CI, and the back half of my OF is a bunch of question marks that could either be awesome or could disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grozeng Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I think I like my team. Went in with 2 players I really wanted to get. 1 expensive and 1 cheap. Machado and Pineda. Probably overpaid for both. But really like Machado's SS eligibility and Pineda is worth more with K/BB as a category in my opinion (but thought I would get him around $5). Also, really wanted Bird and Maikel Franco. Pissed I took Sano for 7 when Franco went for 4. I had Franco higher but both over $10. Also probably spent too much on pitching, but I like my pitching a lot. And Reyes can hopefully fill in while Kipnis is hurt C - S. Vogt (not sure who he is - but he was the highest ranked catcher I had at the time) 1B - M. Cabrera 2B - J. Kipnis SS - M. Machado 3B - A. Rendon CI - M. Sano MI - D. Pedroia OF - K. Davis, J. Upton, K. Calhoun, J. Bautista, E. Thames UT - C. Santana, M. Holliday Bench - S. Choo, J. Reyes, K. Kiermaier, B. McCann (because I have no idea if Vogt is good), B. Moss SP - C. Sale, S. Strasburg, C. Carrasco, M. Pineda, T. Skaggs, G. Gonzalez, W. Chen, M. Andriese RP - K. Jansen, R. Osuna, C. Bedrosian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedrosian I like your optimism in adding Arenado to your team without any trade talks, but you can't just leave Sano there too. You've got to at least give me him and an OF.

Week Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Blockbuster deal I get Jharel Cotton WJ gets Peraza I had depth of scrubby MIs (Andrus, Saladino, Ramirez) and coveted Cotton - so, correcting a draft mistake by me. Open to other deals if people want to get some OF depth in exchange for a an IF upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeyjack Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 So we've got our first trade. I get Jose Peraza, Week gets Jharel Cotton. Gives me some speed and another option at 2B/MI to try to fix that situation. Gives him a high upside arm. Not the guy I wanted to trade, but didn't have much choice.

Whiskeyjack Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 And a second trade. Been a fun start to the season, even if they're just minor deals. I get Javier Baez Pyro gets Curtis Granderson Think it makes sense, even if I already addressed 2B/MI with Peraza. Feel way better about the position now that I've got Baez/Peraza/Walker/Miller for 2B and MI. Probably actually have one too many guys there now, and could use another OF to replace Granderson. But moving pieces around is fun, so probably a good thing. If anybody wants to deal, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
