[quote:411e267acf]Splinter advised me he needed to sleep on it and would pick first thing in the A.M. [/quote:411e267acf]

Frank...you wanna take this one?

Nope. I would have taken "X. :shock: :lol:

socalchiro,

It's an $80M league, and if you take Josh Hamilton and Felix Hernandez, they are really going to limit your roster, so it's not necessarily that great of a pick in the end. I agree that you get first choice of a lot more guys than most, but you won't be able to afford all of them. I think that's what makes this league fairly balanced.

Mets is up and Zim on deck.

Reminder: As per rules Time Limit is 2 hours. Wanted to remind everybody here from the get go. I'm sure no one wants to lose a letter that they would have wanted.

I can take proxies if needed as well.

Visick can't read. That 8 look like a 10 and hence he thought it was 100MM. :lol:

Thats exactly why I skipped H

however they still fill the most positions on the roster...and in some spots cheaply...but in the end too much coin.

That's the reason the league is 80mil. If it was 100, then those first few picks would have been too advantageous.

Last pick. Great. I will get stuck with a 3rd world country like France! :wink:

I had France last year, and yes, it's a 3rd World Country. Similar to Los Angeles.

How close are we sticking to the 2-hour deadline? (I ask because Zim is over).
