Fantasy MLB slowdraft: Results are live, make sure your teams are right

Cauld

JJ Hardy. He reminds me of Fred Savage. Edit: Not my pick though, because he's already been taken.


Hardy


Fred Savage

that's mac from it's always sunny... I TOLD YOU THEY LOOKED ALIKE!

edit: wait... you may be referring to the fact that fred savage directs it's always sunny episodes. either way, i reached incredibly for him long ago

Cauld

oh man, you're right. I even checked the positions on the spreadsheet, but he was so high up I didn't see him. He's even on the list twice!

And no reference at all to its always sunny. I honestly saw that picture and just thought he looked like fred savage.

I'll take someone else.

Edit: I'll take Bartolo Colon! He has so many funny pictures.

PlushyCthulhu

I will take an extra from Oz:



But on the inside he is soft and gooey:

Fred Savage has a higher BA than hardy. How can you even compare?

JustinSane07

I didn't even know Bartolo Colon was still in the league.

Can you guys enter your team names into the spreadsheet so I can enter the draft results into Yahoo.

Edit: and by that I mean if you don't I'll just make up random teams from the pool of available players that don't.

PizzleStixx

Well I'd add mine but some anonymous user is sitting on my spot ... I'm the Fruit F-er All-Stars (I'll update it when I can)

e: nevermind lol, updated

Junior Yank

I'm Local Sports Team.

I'm feeling a lot better about my draft this year as opposed to last year, even though it could all blow up if the wrong guys get (more) injured.

Cauld

I think I have way too many steals on my team and am a little lite on HR. I suppose that could mean I'm light on RBI too. And I'm definitely not gonna win saves very often. Besides that I think I'm alright. Anyone else have any feelings about their team right now?

y2jake215

really hate mine. for some reason fell in love with 2nd year players this year, and passed on a lot of consistent but flawed veterans who are known quantities for unpredictable young guys. reached early and often for people i liked too much (Stanton, Stubbs). waited on closers too long. have no batting average, and low on steals

just found i really hated a lot of people and didn't want to draft them at all, ended up taking people early who i probably shouldn't. stuck me reaching for people i didn't hate. i consider my 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 11th, and 14th round picks reaches. i can somewhat justify uggla and victor. but stanton, stubbs, juan pierre, and tabata were inexcusable

JustinSane07

I'm Middle Relief Love. I can't edit the google spreadsheet so someone has to do it for me.

PizzleStixx

Meh, I'm so-so on my team. I don't think it could be worse than last year, but I'm just a worried kid in general. I'm really old man heavy, so if Thome's legs don't fall off and Konerko doesn't die then I'll be ok.

Zombie Hero

Ummm..

Mr. Irrelevant: Carl Pavano



I guess? Not excited about it at all.

My team's name right now is ZH's Battle Gimics (silly basewars). I might change it after all the rosters have been moved over successfully.

I don't expect good things from my team, but this was my first non-autodrafted fantasy baseball team so hopefully i learned some things going through this. I bet I made tons of mistakes and reaches.

y2jake215

for biggest steals of the draft i vote for schide's picks of either adam jones or gavin floyd. i could see gavin floyd doing what he usually does, and having a 10 start stretch where he's untouchable. i also like scott baker in round 16 a lot. i won't do worst pick of draft because that's douchey, and probably because I made it

JustinSane07

Nah, I did.

With Buster Posey.

Adrenaline

There was some bewildering picks...

Well do tell.

PizzleStixx

Meh, I honestly could care less if people think I reached or just didn't like a pick period.

It's not like anyone is calling you an idiot or anything and even then is it that big of a deal? Regardless, that's your choice.

Point taken, im not sure why i posted that.

y2jake215

you can't look like a genius without making bewildering picks, that's my gameplan

just gotta hit on a few of my ridiculous picks, then i look like a guru, and turn those tables

j.j. hardy and his .280/70/23/85 will do nicely

Why thank you.

For that last pick, I was thinking about taking Kyle Drabek, but figured Floyd always puts up solid numbers, and there's a chance he can win 18 again with a strong White Sox team, so I figured why not.

Arencibia in the last round might end up being the biggest steal. You never really know til the end though.

Zombie Hero

I was also looking at drabek, but he doesnt officially have the starting position, although its probable.

all i know is, i was looking VERY closely at gavin floyd in round 16 where i took cahill, and thought about taking him at least once even round after. i was stunned he was still there in round 21

deadonthestreet

Cauld must redo his last pick as Colon is not available in Yahoo due to him not being on a major league roster.

PizzleStixx

Boooooo

Cauld

But I actually really want Colon

deadonthestreet

I already caught one error in the draft input so make sure your teams are ok.

Schide

I drafted Ian Stewart, not Brian Fuentes.

Justin, you got my Niese, I got your Medlen. I'm dropping Medlen so you can pick him up.

deadonthestreet

Don't bother dropping people I can do it.

fortis

My team is fine.

Anyone wanna trade? Adam Wainwright is on the block!

deadonthestreet

Ok I think everything is fixed now but you may want to double check.

Zombie Hero

Everything looks fine to me.

LavaKnight

Sweeeet. It looks so much better outside of the spreadsheet and in Yahoo.

Schide

Oh...dear. I kind of didn't notice the specific stats we were using before, somehow!

Everyone loves walks.

Adrenaline

haha crap, I won't have a 3B until Youk gains eligibility! Is it 10 games or?

Schide

"Batters need either 5 Games Started or 10 Games Played at a position to gain eligibility"
