BTS Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Not in for a FTD/SG crew. They would become too powerful.
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Actually, SG and his 9th and 5th place finishes is pretty weak.
TRM Verified Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Not in for a FTD/SG crew. They would become too powerful. To be fair, those two have always been on my shortlist when we've considered recruiting another Norman.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Pretty sure it was Howie Osterer the King of Jewish Baseball (and a former friend of mine). Estrada was likely for North being an obvious hardcore Cholo.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Ouch. Pretty sure Boxy wanted Souza lol.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Very wise pick. Doubled down on Rays. Traded Odor to nab Souzas and replace Odor with Franklin by trading H. Rondon.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Ouch. Pretty sure Boxy wanted Souza lol. Admittedly Gibbers can be a wildcard but did anyone actually think that 1-2 would be different than the two that went?
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Admittedly Gibbers can be a wildcard but did anyone actually think that 1-2 would be different than the two that went? I can be a bit of a wildcard too. I think Boxy had a reason to think there was a chance.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 You mean like King? He's a wannabe Norman
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Ouch. Pretty sure Boxy wanted Souza lol. I am not bothered much.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I'm going to make a bit of a shocking pick, but IMO he's probably far and away the best bat available. Taking THIS GUY:
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I am not bothered much. Nice. Who you taking?
TheHurl Site Manager Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I'm going to make a bit of a shocking pick, but IMO he's probably far and away the best bat available. Taking THIS GUY: many would have thought you could get him later but no way he gets past my first 3 picks. I like it. In shape for the first time in his life.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I have no idea who else was available or how the hell that'll work out so all I'm really qualified to say on this is I can certainly appreciate the guts.

Well, Kang apparently was an acceptable choice...the guy projected to be a utility guy with a sub 90 wRC+.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I didn't see that coming, although it's not a crazy pick. It's kind of unthinkable that Montero never hit big league pitching considering what a sure-bet prospect he was, but was athleticism really the problem?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Well, Kang apparently was an acceptable choice...the guy projected to be a utility guy with a sub 90 wRC+. I could see Kang dropping quite a bit. He's not really a Gibbers guy, and I don't have a need for him.

It's kind of unthinkable that Montero never hit big league pitching considering what a sure-bet prospect he was, but was athleticism really the problem? Maybe I take more from it that he's getting his s*** together. Plus, being a fatty boom boom can't be good for endurance.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I feel like the market may overcorrect on Kang and he may drop a bit below where he should, but Montero>Kang, for Boxy's team seeking high upside, yeah, I can dig it. So what's it been so far, 1 Tomas 2 Souza 3 Montero?
TheHurl Site Manager Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I could see Kang dropping quite a bit. He's not really a Gibbers guy, and I don't have a need for him. He won't go at 6. I'd rather have a reliever if he's the top option for me.

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 This is a really weak waiver class.
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Reminder to email whoever is up next after you pick.
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Can't say that I dig using #3 on Montero. Even if you're optimistic about him, there are other projects out there with better profiles.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Can't say that I dig using #3 on Montero. Even if you're optimistic about him, there are other projects out there with better profiles. I can't wait to s*** on all of your picks.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 At this point the waiver draft is really just filling out your roster so it's hard to call anyone a reach. There was only good International guy (maybe two if you count Kang but it's highly debatable) and by some unusual fluke of collective inattention, there was also Souza.
GeorgiaPeach Verified Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Putting Gordie King North into the The Boy Band Hottie Name Generator...this came up. Congradulations...you now are a member of a boy band! Howie Estrada Site can't spell but i think it has spoken...They are The Howie's. We should change the name of the Division's to Boy Band Names.
GeorgiaPeach Verified Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Debating on who to take right now, and headed off to work. I should be making my pick sometime today. Hoping I have an internet connection where I'm at. How long are the pick windows?
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 12 hour windows If it seems too slow then we'll switch the 6 hours as in LoD for all future drafts
