Laika Community Moderator Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 I have Hoffman on my board despite not picking until 21 Like jays_fever, I'm a tad surprised at the pitcher prioritization. Although this was a pitching-heavy draft class. The bats are garbage, frankly. Schwarber seems like one of the worst top 4 picks in recent memory, doesn't he? Jackson landed in a nightmare org. Even Nicky Gordon seems like more of a 50/50 speed/power guy than anything.

You also have Conforto, Zimmer and Fisher, none of whom really have loud tools. Lots of people will have to draft outside their comfort zone. Lots of high school right-handers deserve to go in the first round. Well I read the plan with Schwarber was to take him there to lowball him, then take one of a couple different guys in the second. Except said prospects were taken before their next pick, kicking them in the dick, so to speak. Schwarber's still one of the only guys in the class with plus power and an okay hit tool, so despite being a real-life overdraft he should go early in fantasy.

NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Gibbers takes CJ Edwards! SpeedyGose on the clock.

Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I sent you a WISE OFFER in the PL, vamos amigo! HEY YOU! Don't go anywhere, speedy just picked and silv is browsing the DDL boards. You'll be up to pick in a little!
SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I took Brandon Nimmo. Jaysblue is up. Sent him a proboards PM
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I'm going to laugh unbelievably hard if Jackie Bradley + Daniel Nava blow OBP for Boxy. Or if Workman gives up 3 ER and he loses ERA. He had the win sealed up, but played all 3 of them anyway. If Nava + Bradley combine to reach base 2/8 or less times against Anibal Sanchez, he likely loses the matchup. ='( I'm dumn
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 ='( I'm dumn Don't give up just yet. Boston has 1st and 2nd with 1 out. All it takes is for them to tie it up and we're going to extras.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Don't give up just yet. Boston has 1st and 2nd with 1 out. All it takes is for them to tie it up and we're going to extras. If they score multiple runs here and save the game without Austin Jackson getting another hit, I'll beat Silvergun 10-2. 10-3 at the moment, likely to end that way.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Boxy's tanking! Agreed. Starting Jackie Bradley Jr. under any circumstance is intentional tanking!
BTS Community Moderator Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Congrats on the win Boxy! I take it back. I underestimated your dumness.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Agreed. Starting Jackie Bradley Jr. under any circumstance is intentional tanking! Being honest, I was out all day and didn't even think to check before the Boston game. Ugh. I'm actually pretty disappointed.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I take it back. I underestimated your dumness. Me too.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Lol, pretty massive stretch to get that in there, but you managed. It took a really random dub from Mike Dunn. You were up 5-2 in wins entering today and we both had two starts! I'm going to bed. You're apparently still online. Jaysblue took Conforto so you're up!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Nice, Papi and Koji just grabbed me another 2 wins. Suck it, everyone.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Lol, pretty massive stretch to get that in there, but you managed. Lmao what was your reaction when you saw this North comment today "Stupid offense can't do nothing... three steals? You serious guys?"
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Being honest, I was out all day and didn't even think to check before the Boston game. Ugh. I'm actually pretty disappointed. I saw you had them in at 7:45 and was going to say something, but felt it was wrong for me to interfere with the matchup.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Spanky's on the clock! Spanky went to bed. We'll pick this up tomorrow.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Spanky went to bed. We'll pick this up tomorrow. Nope he picked. Gibbers is on the clock now. Tough break for gibbers, he will wake up with only a couple hours to pick.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Nah.....The Peach is now, I PM'd him on Proboards and sent an e-mail. Oh okay nice. Cats might even come on in a bit and make a few picks. We're flying right now.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Lots of double pickers coming up. Things could go quite quickly tomorrow. 10 Taijuan On 11 Georgia Peach 12 War Puigs 13 War Puigs 14 Jurassic Kats 15 Butt Stallions 16 Butt Stallions 17 Insert Clever Name 18 Bye Week 19 2nd Leg to Stanton 20 Insert Clever Name

I'll say in advance that I'll be gone from 3-11 PM tomorrow. I don't anticipate it getting to 31 (my first pick) by 11 anyway though.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Oh okay nice. Cats might even come on in a bit and make a few picks. We're flying right now. Well now I'm going to bed.
