YIKES!!!! Shifting Sands Draft Thread

[MEAT]

10. Munich Man - IL
Iron Gloves - Must have at least 2 "4" rated defensive starters (not counting pitchers), one in the OF, one in the IF, AND no more than 2 "1" rated starters, one in the OF, one in the IF. BUT (and it's a big BUT) if you have no "1" rated fielders at ANY position, the "4" requirement is waived

[Munich_Man]

yes, if you have 1 one, you must have two 4s, one IF and one OF, and if you have a 1 at C, then you can't have a 1 anywhere else in the IF.

From the way he's been hitting for me, Howard would be worth it! :wink:

[STEPHENANDERSON 2]

is it too late to change leagues.


LMAO

[FoggyOne]

just playing catch up here.......

1) catcher part of the infield (will allow a drop if a "1" catcher was drafted and drop is desired)

2) 500K starter is decade exempt (just seems fair and I doubt is was drawn while considering decade heme).

REMINDER: alternate NL and AL Picks.

My pick to follow.

where's munich? is draft loaded on penn's sight yet? are we starting clock on monday?

[FoggyOne]

does everyone have a user name on penn's site.

I am a little worried about loading the draft on the site. bad proxies would be devasting. Albeit proxies could only be a round ata atime (to be safe) due to AL/NL theme. It is possible to set enough proxy levels....but YIKES.

I would like to complete 3-4 rounds before loading.

[MEAT]

so THAT'S where Munich is!
besides mr. bbw's shrewd pickups of joe d., which im sure there's a joe negro leaguer, like joe black, plus the d, plus the o in ott, and who knows if there's a mel, melvin, or mello or melly, or melon who played in the negro league and majors...not one of the other non-negro league picks acrued a point I can think of...especially mickey mantle. then again, there's probably a charlie to help out gehringer...but gehrig, well, maybe a lou? no way there's a robin or a yount in negro leaguers. looks like memphis john coulda stayed an extra day.
agree foggy, keep it here for time being, can you imagine changing picks...and you KNOW there'll be drafting errors.
