Event 5, Round 1 - AL only

[luckeroll]

Yeah I took pitching because I saw a huge drop off. While waiting for my turn again I saw all the killer bats disappear.

There are many things i would do differently if there was a next time. I would be very curious to see how other AL drafts go. I am shocked the SS went that quickly and that * SPs could be had fairly late.

My biggest mistakes so far are
1. taking Ryan so early (I realized spending all 80M would be hard, but didn't need to get him)
2. RF is more deep..i should not have taken Cuddyer and should have taken a LF instead

My main mistake was not going after a third pitcher sooner. Also I wanted at least one thumper and I think I jumped on Arod too soon.

No. I was leaving closers alone and hoping to get Duscherer about now in the draft. Once I saw him get taken abou 2-3 rounds ago I hoped to get Rodney. Now he is gone so I am going to see how a team does without a C4 closer or better. :shock:

I am fairly pleased with my team so far except for the lack of a closer. It seems like my rotation is fairly weak but I think everyone's is.

Dhowser took Gabe Gross who is an NL player. You need to drop him and pick a different player. Be sure to hit confirm when you drop him and one of us can approve the drop.

BTW, I am going to be out of town Fri-Sun without access to the internet. I will leave what I think will be enough proxies to finish the live draft portion of the draft.

If we finish 18 rounds of live drafting everyone must have 17 AL players and 1 stadium picked. If someone doesn't have a stadium then the last player he drafted will be a FA again and he must pick a stadium instead. We can then fill out our AD cards and create the league. The divisions are 1,4,7,10 - 2,5,8,11 - 3,6,9,12. One of the East teams can create the league and send the password to the other East teams to load. Be sure to put your live drafted players at the bottom of your draft card. After the draft we will have to drop any NL players that we get and have nothing but AL players by the start of the season.

[quote:5aecbf4d16="keyzick"]My pick is up, the system gives me an error when I try to pick US Cell, so I'm taking [u:5aecbf4d16][i:5aecbf4d16]David Wells as a fill-in [/i:5aecbf4d16][/u:5aecbf4d16]to keep the draft moving.

Make sure you all note though:

[b:5aecbf4d16]My pick 151 in round 13 is actually US Cellular Field[/b:5aecbf4d16]

Thanks :D[/quote:5aecbf4d16]

ok, I dropped Gross. Now someone has to approve it?? Once it's approved can I pick a replacement? I figured I'd get in on the Brewer action .... lol

[LMBombers]

drop of Gross approved

When picking stadiums I think you have to use all CAP letters

SJKORTE just picked a NL player. Orlando Hernandez is a Met.
