NLD 13 Draft thread

[MARKHUARD]

My apologies.

I had a run to the airport after my last pick and didn't load any proxies in my haste to get away. Although I just made the time window, my sincere apologies for the delay.

Niners,

Don't take Semper's (or my) comments personally. You're doing a great job and it wasn't all your decision, the majority voted for $100 mil (wimps! :8)

It's been an interesting experiment to me. Kind of fun not having to worry too much about cap.

Semper, you should have spent more early on when the spending was good. :)

Semper, you're up. Come on, with all that money to spend this should be EASY!!! :D ;)

i was aware that carrasco cannot start.

I knew about Heilman and Carrasco, but overlooked Helling. oh well.

Anyone know why the hell TSN arbitrarily changed the cards anyway.

I think it sucks, if you think these guys will be unbalancing to the game, price them higher. They DID start last year. To me it's what they should have done to A-rod and his 2E8 at ss if they were gonna do it to these pitchers.

Apparently not :wink:

Niners,

You're absolutely right, but I guess it came from Bernie and wasn't negotiable. There was at least one other pitcher who *was* in this category, but he was changed back. If he gets drafted, I'll tell you who it was.

I thought I had a proxy left. :(

So much for [b:8b5971d69f]Betemit [/b:8b5971d69f]and [b:8b5971d69f]Mora[/b:8b5971d69f]. Oddly enough, I learned of Betemit's name when he appeared on my Yahoo! fantasy team this morning.

Who the hell is this guy? Another clown appeared on my roster "Barnes" for the Colorado Rockies. Where did he come from?


Oh well, I went with another Cleveland Indian favorite, Dave Riske.

He'll keep me zippy when he tosses the long ball pitch. Quite a few GBAs on that card as well as HRs. Of course, he should be fine in the dense air at PETCO. :lol:


[b:8b5971d69f]9'r[/b:8b5971d69f],

My comments aren't directed to you at all.

Overall, I find the $100m league concept something imported from the ATG guys who all want to field a team of [b:8b5971d69f]Babe Ruths[/b:8b5971d69f]. Otherwise, I'll survive in this NLD season just fine.

Plus, Joe told me the league had been very quiet during my absence. I mean to kick it up a notch this year. :twisted:


Overall, I'm quite pleased with my rotation and the backend of the bullpen. Besides [b:8b5971d69f]Rivera[/b:8b5971d69f], I don't see any other RPs that measure up to [b:8b5971d69f]Wagner[/b:8b5971d69f]. Considering the NLD's tendency towards LHBs, these two pitchers ought to have a field day.

As for my hitting crew, I expected to see more LHSPs this season given the bias towards LH parks. So I may have gambled on Sexson and Matsui - more here than I would have in the $80m league.

To that end, I'm more than fine. I'm just kicking a little dirt around - :D

I like Betemit as a half-decent leadoff guy, and like that he can backup SS effectively with Crosby's injury roll.

Niners - I might be willing to swing a deal for Helling later depending on $$....
