Mark just made his pick, Al is up -- and hopefully not in commuting mode.

I posted al's proxy, but that's all ive got, and with curt right here, and my proxies for tws, we should be right back to al....

I'm posted. Back over to meat for Tom's proxies. Al, sit tight -- should be to you shortly.

Done. Al is up, Mark is on deck.

Beat Meat in posting my own pick by a minute.

I've proxied you my next round pick Meat in case I need to catch my train before it is back to me.

Now that I've completed my rotation - Carmona, Sabathia, Harang, Buehrle - I'll post my standard warning about the lack of good starting pitching out there.

Even if four-man rotations are used as much as possible, somebody is going to be starting someone priced $2.55 or lower. Aaron Laffey (S5, 4.56 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) is a $2.55 pitcher. Don't make yourself the Laffey-stock of the league! Draft starters now!

...And, of course, leave me the position players that I still need. :wink:

Following up on Al's note, here's the count on pitchers taken so far:

JamesGang77 -- 0 starters / 0 relievers

Meat -- 3 / 0

Calbatross - 0 / 2

BED - 0 / 0

Durantjerry - 5 / 0

Jason Clinkscales - 2 / 0

Terry 101 - 2 / 0

Turtle - 1 / 0

Mark - 2 / 0

Al - 4 / 0

Curt - 2 / 1

Tom - 3 / 0

Al and Durantjerry have finished their starting rotations. Only three relievers have been taken; my team is the only one with starters and relievers to this point. SGT D (BED) and JamesGang77 (wasn't that the year they broke up?) have no pitchers yet.

I respectfully disagree with Al -- there are still a few good starters out there. But, if you want a four-man rotation, odds are that ship has sailed for most of us.

it's been an hour and a half, and Im confident mark wants his namesake, grudzelanik, so he has his keystone, and we keep moving....

pitching? we don't need no stinkin pitching :D... Jamesgang77 came about because of my son being named James and me liking the number 7 (won a fantasy baseball league about 16 years ago when i first used the Jamesgang handle)...i love music but really don't know much about Jamesgang the band...

the salary cap in this league is 100m right?

by **MEAT** » Mon Mar 31, 2008 7:48 pm

love jamesgang and joe walsh, especially rides again, but long gone by '77, he was well past barnstorm even.

where's turtle?!
