Can you give us a clue?

Hope he takes who you want. Payback for taking Lively a pick before me!

I might be open to swapping 45 for 2 later picks.

This was me 3 days ago. 72 hours later, I'm a hybrid of JFaS and noxage.

This draft has been one enormous kick to the balls.

No worries. But if you want to talk any kind of deal for him, I'm very interested.

I thought I found a hidden gem when he wasnt in the google docs ; (

Grant Holmes it is. Can't believe Gatewood went a pick before me.

I have 5 minutes before my break ends, check your pm spanky

yes

If anyone wants to flip me two picks for a pick upgrade, send a pm quick

about to make my pick

Someone e-mail CatsAss after Spanky's pick and he will post mine.

Cats offered to do it because his farm is full and he has no more picks. But Cats, your mailbox is full. Delete a few so I can send ya something.

Okay so I have to go to work in 30 minutes and I won't be home til 11. Is there someone I can send my picks to who a) doesn't have an upcoming pick themselves (no picks in the 30-50 range) and doesn't think they'll be trading up (ex. if they see a guy I'm taking and think "oh I thought he would go later, maybe I should trade up and grab him).

I know what you mean. Like when Peraza got popped, I still have a list of other names. But it's because in the back of your head, as the draft goes on, part of you believes there's a slight chance you might get all those guys you want. For instance, a small part of me was believing I could get Lamb, Thompson, McMahon, Peraza, Lively from all of my picks in the 30s and 40s. When it got to 23 and none had been taken, I was so hopeful.

Pfft, you can't handle my puns. They're on a whole different level.

I'll tell you first hand, winning this league is the greatest feeling you can experience (fantasy wise). You feel incredibly satisfied after putting countless hours into ranking, drafting, trading, and managing. Then there's the relief knowing that the first title you've won is out of the way. Even when you're a top contender, the probability of winning is a crapshoot. The best team could end up losing each year, and eventually get shutout completely as their window expires. We'll see long title-less droughts in this league, so when you're able to win it all and pop your title cherry, you appreciate it that much more. The euphoria you experience over the course of the playoffs is amazing. You win that first matchup and it starts to sink in that you're only two more victories away from the title. Then, you go right down to the wire against another tough opponent and pull off another win. Reality checks in that you're only 7 days away from being the champ if you can beat one last opponent. Then there's that last Sunday, oh my, that last Sunday.. D-Day. It can make or break a season (as it did for me in 2013). When the last pitch is thrown in the last west coast game, and you refresh the scoreboard one more time and see you just become the champion.. it's nirvana. Now picture that, but after years of rebuilding. I imagine it would be even more satisfying.

Haha same. Last year I had to sit through posts of "AWWWW" and "NOOOOOOOO", while I'm just like "right.. I um.. know who that guy is.. damn.." Now I actually have a list prepared and it's killing me when some of these guys get selected. You grow so attached to the prospect of owning them.

Jaysblue sighting. He'll probably pick soon which will put Spanky on the clock. I have a dental appointment so I'll be back around 12-12:30 to pick at 34.

Although Altuve did show more pop and a marginally better walk rate in the minors. Maybe I'm just being sour grapes because I wanted Peraza.

Normally I would agree, but dinger can spin straw into gold. He'll probably flip a 6th rounder for a stud SP.

Why do I get the feeling all 6 of your 2015 picks will be traded by the end of the month.

Nice Peraza pick North. I don't expect much with the bat but the speed is obviously legit.

Okay good. In that case I can go pound down a few and sleep in. If I don't wake up til 12, blame Spanky!
