Penngray is still dead league.......but win my credits!!!

Done.

Now I'll be happy to approve a few other drops for you. :lol:

Guys, I am without access again, but I will either hit wifi spots or friends houses as often as possible. I only have two picks left, so hopefully it won't be any more of a problem.

It will be interesting to see how several teams "hand jam" their remaining 10-11 picks with less than $10M in the bank. :wink:

In the event an owner decides to invoke a payroll rationalization, e.g., how shall we handle it?

I did a quick check...the closest one to maxing out the cap during the live draft is The Turtle. He is at $70.76...the most we can spend live drafting is $72.5 as you need to still auto draft 10 more players (at a minimum of .75 ea).

As long as the Turtle's last man does not exceed $1.74 he's fine...

[Jimmy_C]

From where I'm sitting, the manager who has the strongest drafted team is ccangerame/jackblack. His outfield of Lynn, Singelton, and Reggie can put runs on the board, Will Clark at first and Ripken at short are first-class selections. Starters Guidry, Drabek, and Gooden should be top notch. Mad dog at third and Doran at second were both solid selections. The only question mark is a mostly yet-unpicked pen...we'll see that after the auto-draft. Nice job...

Anyone else care to review...?

[Jimmy_C]

Ummm Yellowdog...Easler needs to be dropped and you need to pick a stadium with your 16th and final pick...

[Jimmy_C]

Canauscot...check your PM for a possible trade between us...let me know what you think.

[Rigged Splits]

I think albert2b needs to get a stadium too.

[Yellow_Dog]

I took the Kingdome with my 14th pick (the pick where I accidentally picked Lamp and then got him dropped). So I think I'm legit.

PS Sorry Hak about taking all your guys. Not!

[Jimmy_C]

Sorry Yellow Dog...missed that. Albert does need a stadium though...

Speaking of stadiums...cute Semper...cute. 8)

Correct, [b:f98c374d71]TURTLE[/b:f98c374d71] is at $71.51m and [b:f98c374d71]JACKBLACK[/b:f98c374d71] is at $71.35m. The draft for $.75m players will be fun.

Best paper teams?

Yes, [b:f98c374d71]TURTLE[/b:f98c374d71] and [b:f98c374d71]JACKBLACK[/b:f98c374d71] had nice live drafts but both clearly outspent their competitors by $7-10m on average which may explain the top-notch crews. On the other hand, you know one/two of those blue chip players will lay an egg this season (or misread a passable seaso). So, finding Pedro G's 1990 card would be troublesome with the dearth of suitable replacements (or ways to spend that excess cash). :(

[b:f98c374d71]My choice - [/b:f98c374d71]

I like YELLOWDOG's bats of Schmidt, Mattingly, Jack Clark (1B / DH / OF), Canseco, and Tettleton for his park (Kingdome). Of course, he has two (as of now) pitching parks in his division so his disemphasis on SPs and RPs won't be too problematic for him.

I like DDEAKIN's pitching (Saberhagen, Fat Sid, Hoyt, Forsch, Andujar) for his park (Royals). Of course, he has one SP too many for my likings and will likely drop Fat Sid to provide funds for this bullpen. :wink:


[b:f98c374d71]My team?[/b:f98c374d71]

I hope my gamble to lockdown the bullpen (Goose / Howe / Burke / Comer & Pastore - long relief / spot starts) earlier pays off for my division.
