I'm open to conversations with both The Colonel and cwolf.

I might be interested in Valentin, if the SP is Kevin Brown. Despite the fact that he kinda sucks, his LH slugging fits my ballpark and division well.

I'll send you both PT invites, if you know how to use them yet.

Meanwhile -- AP !!! -- in addition to having to pick next, you've got a guy I'd like to get....willing to talk trade?

Hey, what does everybody think about calling this to a screeching halt after the 24th round and autodrafting the rest so we can get this puppy started?

It would mean everybody needs to pick a park earlier than they planned, and the

There's mostly scrubs left and nobody's got much cash. The only person this would work against is the Sarge, but I'm wondering if he's not saving cash so he can spend freely after the first week.

Just a thought.

I'm fine with Tom's idea, but let's keep drafting anyway.

OK, remember, everybody, change your Roster Cap to $60M.

I'm okay with it for a different reason - I think we're going to run out of 50 cent position players before we all fill our spots (not sure).

When I took Cuddyer, I put myself in the position of having no other options - I have to take 50-cent guys to fill the last four spots. Not a problem on the mound, but I only have one open spot there. Not so good for position guys. If we stop after 24 rounds (stadiums would have to be taken by then), we'll be assigned National League players, and then the frenzy will mean something.

no problem here, but i don't think we HAVE to have 14 position players ... 50 cent pitchers could be drafted ...

[bkoron]

You have to have 15 position players and 10 pitchers.

Where the hell is Pisano? I've emailed him and everything. Probably watching porn.

I'm not nuts about changing rules mid-stream, and my strategy might have been a little different if I knew the last two rounds would be autodrafts. (I probably would have left myself position players who could have been dropped if HAL gave me a NL guy.)

That said, I'm all for getting this thing done today. If we stall out before we get to round 25, I'm OK taking my chances with HAL.

Curt, AP's time is up. Get us going again!

[moneymaze]

Shall I pick to keep this moving? I believe AP is over the limit.

[bkoron]

Good point, Al. AP picked, Curt's up. Go Curt, AP's not over the limit. He has three player picks left and enough money to make them.

Men, how hard is it to have useless $.5M proxies with useless backup proxies in there at this point? Hey, you're probably gonna drop these turds anyway. We should be able to finish this in an hour without any stops.

For example, I have three alternate proxies for my $.5M SP, a park alternate, and nobody except SGT D can take the other guy I put in for. Hell, I'll even put in two proxies for that guy.

Col. needs a catcher and a reliever.
kramed needs two relievers
Calliaume needs a reliever
I need a starter
Al needs a starter and two relievers
AP needs a reliever
SGT D needs two relievers and to pick
