Pick 20 on the spreadsheet says it belongs to Hurl, but should be mine as far as I can tell.

 

Where did you pick it up? I see Waiver 1 (SVG) (which would be 20) going to Hurl in early August, but nothing else

Sorry I was looking at my MiLB picks. Derp

Anyone actually hit on more than 1 of these last year? I took Hand, then botched the rest with Hedges, M. Duffy, Mauer, and Clippard.

I say next year we nuke the waiver draft.

 

Maybe just do 40 picks then open up waivers

 

Or even just one round?

 

Or could even do 30 picks hmmm

Expediency is nice, but truth be told, we have a lot of time to kill before the season starts anyway.

But it's just meaningless - history demonstrates that outside the top 5 picks all of these waiver slots have no value or predictive value.

 

If we just finished it sooner and had the season free and open, there could be free agent / trade / waivers activity right now.

 

Just a thought

Last year I got Joe Kelly, then Rhys Hoskins, then Alex Meyer (who I dropped, but he showed promise last year).

I would at least keep the first two rounds. You never know, you might just find a Willson Contreras.

I'll take Chris Iannetta. Damn this player pool is garbage. I'll PM next

 

I totally missed how well Iannetta hit last year. This looks like a good pick.

I agree with this. One round -> open waivers sounds like a great idea.

You could have just picked him up off FA.

I disagree with the proposed change. I like the waiver draft. We could reduce it, but lets not go wild. Maybe 3 rounds?

What do you define as a hit? I took Chad Kuhl and Francisco Cervelli....lol

I'd like to see it stick around too. 3 rounds seems good, maybe 2. 1 round isn't enough.

I am going in with a plan of filling position needs only. Don't care how bad my draft is...I've never had a hit in this even though I've had high spots. Every player I've taken has ended up dropped or occasionally traded.

When did the DDL thread of all of a sudden become the Politics thread? haha

 

I really feel we need a 4th politics thread on the board.
