YIKES!!!! Shifting Sands Draft Thread

[Mr Baseball World]

I know I know........you drafted an if and an of from the same decade because of my rule.

Worry about the rules that matter. Given that 80+% of the players score points and that many many score more than 1 point(some non negro leaguers score 5 or more) there is no way not to get the ten points needed(even if you specifically try to to make a point)

[MEAT]

just teasin' you mrb...actually your rule had nothing to do with hornsby, foxx or waner, just find it amazing that everyebody I want to pick seems to be worth ZERO buck points, and I honestly feared not getting to 36, which I was well on my way too. actually adding first names really helps with foxx.
munich, i'd do that deal for waner, depending on who foggy takes next.
when we gonna switch on penn's sight, my first four are all loaded as proxies...should unc make his first pick live to start the process.

[Mr Baseball World]

I know and I am teasing also but that may not come across as well as my "I am having a REALLY bad week" attitude is.

[Mr Baseball World]

....was that out to eat or out to lunch (some folks are out to lunch even during the evening and even when home :P ):shock:


Just teasing munichman here.

[MEAT]

Meat, I'll take Waner off your hands. Are we allowed to make trades?

[modmark46]

Guys, I was hoping MM would make his pick before I went to bed, but that doesn't look to be the case. I will check back in shortly before 10pm EST and make my pick then. I really don't want to leave a proxy right now, as MM is very likely to be interested in my picks. I've already had three players I was interested in taken this round, and I don't want to give MM any more ideas. :evil:
