So a question for you guys since we're moving at a leisurely pace. How do you guys plan your picks? Do you use a spreadsheet to figure out the salary cap implications of a pick, do you use the TSN online and, how do you figure out whether, let's say, the reduction in the pitching staff is more than made up by picking up a bigger bat?

Just curious,

Joe, I've built so many teams that I can actually [b:cb9dc0fb02]feel[/b:cb9dc0fb02] the cap implications of a given pick. :wink:

Seriously, I just 'decide' ahead of time which type of park I want to build for, then hope for the best. I make a (mental) list of the players I would ideally like to have, then adjust when some (or all!) of them get plucked of the board. Not very scientific. 8)

Oh, and I always watch my division mates. Although with Silver I can pretty much guess ahead of time. :lol:

Yes I know this is beating a dead horse, but hardly anyone is using proxies. :?

I still haven't had a pick today! :shock:
