TheHurl Site Manager Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) If I don't get my pick in today I'll email Nick. edit. Sorry poorly worded. Meaning if the picks don't get to me today, I'll email my picks as Monday's I have class and work. Edited February 22, 2015 by TheHurl
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Suspense is going to build up during the day... Who are these players that Gibbers is trying to choose from? Is Kang even one of them? What's Dinger's play? Is he merely going to do the obvious thing and replace the closer he had to trade away? (I'd say more than likely since he's doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to over-complicate his strategy or try to make himself look like the smartest guy in the room).

Laika Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 I'd actually be a bit surprised if Kang goes before 6th. Dinger will want a likely contributor, not a long term upside play, and Kang seems a bit too old for Gibbers, who already owns several boom or bust infielders. Does KK regret trading pick #5 if he would have had a shot at Kang there?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 When does Gibbers window expire? 9?

Does KK regret trading pick #5 if he would have had a shot at Kang there? Not in the slightest. I'm quite content rolling with Nick Franklin, Jose Ramirez, Brock Holt and maybe eventually Mookie Betts.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Melvin Upton Jr. next pick? Knowing gibbers, he won't draft anyone older than 23. I'm actually sort of talking myself into Danny Santana.
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Not in the slightest. I'm quite content rolling with Nick Franklin, Jose Ramirez, Brock Holt and maybe eventually Mookie Betts. I just figured that as a pure rebuilding team you'd be looking to gather upside, almost regardless of position.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I just figured that as a pure rebuilding team you'd be looking to gather upside, almost regardless of position. I don't quite like Kang enough to not care about his position. There are some upside plays that I like as much or more, who are better fits and who should be there for me later. I'd draft Kang if I had still had the pick I suppose but I'm not kicking myself that I don't.
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I think gibbers will take Santana
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Danny Santana lol There really is no new talent in this pool.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Drafting Santana over Kang just because the former is younger makes zero sense to me.
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Drafting Santana over Kang just because the former is younger makes zero sense to me. That's kind of gibbers' MO.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 If anyone has a pick in the 10-15 range and wants to move back, I'll package 25+32
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Santana is getting up there in age too. I think he'll go off the board.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Danny Santana lol There really is no new talent in this pool. Tomas and a guy we all derped on last year so very nearly just one guy.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 "Class" seems like a really poor excuse to not be on the internet. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday that would be fine...but my Monday classes are internet free. One is a software class so we are on the school computers not our laptops. The second class we signed an agreement with the prof not to be on the net. So if I don't get to pick today I'll be sending my picks to Boxy.
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 12 hour windows suuuuuuuuck
GD Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Hi, Friendly neighborhood BBDL scum here. Maybe 12 hour windows during workdays and 6 hour windows during offdays? Of course those who don't work Mon-Fri would have to notify a commish overlord. Sincerely, Friendly BBDL trash

GD Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Some people work on weekends. "Of course those who don't work Mon-Fri would have to notify a commish overlord."right there boxcar!!! Just shoot the commish a PM saying like "Hey I'm busy __ to __ and free ___ to ___." Idk, just a thought.

AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I've read that in the future of baseball pools there might be a way to send picks to other people in the event you're not around for an extended period of time. Don't hold your breath though. I expect we'll see flying cars long before that.

Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks to all you Darrell's and Norman for your guys work, excellent job fellas.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 12 hour windows suuuuuuuuck Yeah they kind of do especially since they don't even entirely prevent you from getting a s***** overnight slot.
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Since I'm a sadist, we might move to 24 hour windows starting in round 2.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Since I'm a sadist, we might move to 24 hour windows starting in round 2. I call your 24 hour window and a raise you a 36
