BACK TO THE 70s PRE-CARD DRAFT AND CHAT

[1st Command Commando]

Glad to hear you survived a close one, Cubs! And kudos to the league for not replacing Cubs right away. You never know when a life event or an unexpected deployment to Iraq can come up.

cubs, take care now.

[LMBombers]

If anybody needs to leave proxies during the holiday you can send them to me. I will be around and am glad to help out.

We could be just a couple of weeks away from BTT70s opening day!

[Rigged Splits]

Big, you can use my previous list of proxies, the one before the pitchers if you still have it. If not use the pitchers list. If you don't have that any more skip me right away.

[yak1407]

We're about to enter the 12th round.
Are we going to stop, or keep going until the game is released? We can always change the number of players drafted who have to be on your roster opening day to 15, 16 or whatever depending on the number of rounds we do complete.
Might be interesting to keep going because there have been some very intriguing selections in these last few rounds.
Plus, it increases the odds that some of us will gamble. Is, for example, Willie Mays worth a look despite his poor last two seasons?
Any thoughts?
To all our American friends, Happy Turkey Day. Raise a drumstick for me.

[Sykes25]

I don't mind if we keep going. I'm prepared to keep on pickin.

With my last 2 picks, I am surprised that Kingman was still there, and the nobody grabbed Metzger as he may be one of the only 1-SS guys in the set.

My team so far feels promising except for Oliver's defense in CF, which could be a 3(+1)e6 at best.

I'm ready to keep going too. This has been fun - and the fun usually ends for me when the season begins! So, a long draft is right up my alley!

I like my lineup so far:

Harrah, SS
Sanguillen, C
Mayberry, 1B
Stargell, RF
Smith, LF
???, DH
???, 3B
Blair, CF
Fuentes, 2B

SP - Palmer, Wood, Koosman

RP - Fingers

[yak1407]

And the real fun will begin once you have to start picking your bullpen corps.
It was thin to start with and it is even thinner now.
Congrats Crossing on Jim Brewer. I had hoped he was a sleeper.
