I'm going to follow you guys all season long! For the LOLs! The sub-boards that I do follow, like Comics/Cooking/Baseball, I follow closely. I just don't want to play fantasy sports anymore, it quit being fun. :/

ok, i feel stupid for even deliberating on it for so long but I'm keeping Napoli over Denard Span. (my main concern w/ Napoli was that he'd just be platooning at 1B, but I forgot that it's the AL and he can fill in at DH too, as well as the occasional turn at catcher)
So, just to make it official, that leaves me with:

I thought Napoli was the starting catcher. Is Torrealba starting?
― reggaeton for the painfully alone (polyphonic), Thursday, 17 February 2011 07:29 (thirteen years ago) link
Pretty sure Torrealba is starting, yep. :/

actually my favorite part of fantasy baseball is building my pitching rotation from the april waiver wire. aces are overrated. (says the guy who has lester and j.johnson as keepers)

I look forward to finishing in the bpttom tier again. I tried to mollify myself in thinking that my keepers would make my team sucking so hard last year worth it this year, but we shall see.

Gardenhire said Sunday that Morneau was scheduled to see a doctor in order to gain clearance to play in games, but he didn't have anything to add on Monday. "I have no idea," said Gardenhire. "I'm not even getting into that. That's done. Don't ask me about him anymore. You're going to start tweeting it and blogging it. That's over with."
OK Gardy that's GREAT.
Uh.

Thermo, can you please swap out Morneau for Andrew McCutchen? Thanks and sorry.

― Shirley MODOK (Andy K), Tuesday, 1 March 2011 19:58 (thirteen years ago) link
for some insane reason I joined another keeper league with $ involved. there is no age limit on keepers but you can only keep players drafted during/after round 10. weird, eh?
― bnw, Tuesday, 1 March 2011 20:09 (thirteen years ago) link
np. *crosses McCutchen off list*

ya - i've heard of that before. that way there isn't a monopoly on elite talent and it's much easier to manage than having to run through everybody's age (ours is still better tho).
― got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 1 March 2011 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link
*adds Morneau onto the "maybe if shit gets crazy" list*
last year i didn't check anyone for injuries (\_(OO)-/) and ended up drafting Brandon Webb, Carlos Beltran AND Huston Street

i'll stick w/ the 5 i posted upthread, even tho it sounds like kendry may not be ready by opening day :(

you can see the first 5 rounds of the draft under "draft results". if you see a mistake FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please let me know asap.

I'm supposed to have Lincecum instead of Danks.
j/k
The top 10 of Lester, Andrus, Cano, Bailey, Mark Reynolds, Rasmus, Quentin, Jorge de la Rosa, King Felix, and Adam Lind is a lolzy traet.

And hey! I have what amounts to our #2 pick overall! ^_^ SKINNY PANDA AHOY.
― My Urine No Longer Smells Like Asparagus (Leee), Wednesday, 2 March 2011 05:44 (thirteen years ago) link
is there any way to add or subtract a round to the draft? having 5 keeper picks has given us an odd number of actual draft rounds, which handicaps the people who pick late in odd numbered rounds (i.e. me)
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 March 2011 07:21 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess it's probably locked to # of roster spaces though :/
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 March 2011 07:27 (thirteen years ago) link
ya - i hadn't thought abt that. oh well - do we really care about pick #20 whatever?!
― got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 2 March 2011 16:18 (thirteen years ago) link
and ya - 'tis locked.
uh who is the 9th best player in the draft pool.. I would imagine grabbing a closer soonish is a good idea since I have no rps whatsoever and its already round 6.
― strongly recommend. unless you're a bitch (mayor jingleberries), Wednesday, 2 March 2011 18:34 (thirteen years ago) link
9th best player left in my estimation is Nick Punto
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 2 March 2011 18:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Does everyone else still see the people who have already been drafted in the predraft rankings?
― reggaeton for the painfully alone (polyphonic), Wednesday, 2 March 2011 18:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Is the list of available players up somewhere or does more commissioner work have to be done? no pressure thermo, just bored at work

i've done everything i needed to do. whatever yahoo lists is what they list. Z S was awesome enough to list all our keepers upthread tho. which, aside from the Morneau/McCutchen swap, should be accurate.
when i was plugging in the keeper picks it was greying out everyone selected. going by yahoo's rankings, #s1-12 (or maybe 13) were all taken followed by a clump of old people about 5 or so deep then another half dozen more keeper pics before things meshed into more of a 50/50 ratio for a while.
