[quote:52a2ac4346="calbatross"]While I went with Al's pitching strategy, it became clear early on that perhaps Al admired my Airbenders' strategy from the 24-team league as he started his draft with Utley and built a team for PNC Park. "Well played, Mauer..."[/quote:52a2ac4346]
Hey, I know a winning strategy when I steal one...
Actually, I have no idea if this is a good strategy. I am rather worried that I seem to be spending so much less than everyone else, but we'll see how it turns out. At this point, I would have been extremely unhappy if someone else had grabbed PNC Park, so I figured I'd better take it.
I definitely do, however, intend to hold on to my lead in the all important "Most Rounds Using Proxies" competition (through 12 rounds):
Al - 12
Turtle - 10
Curt - 10
Cal - 9
Jason - 9
Sarge - 8
Zim - 8
Meat - 7
Mark - 6 (including his dropped AL player pick)
Tom - 4
Merkel - 3
Terry - 2
While I am glad to see we made it halfway through this week, it would be great if we can get done in time to start Monday, June 7. I imagine things will slow down again over the weekend (I'll be gone tomorrow afternoon through Monday; while I should have some chance to check how things are progressing, it will be limited). Now that different teams need different puzzle pieces to fill out their roster, though, I think we can do it if everyone makes a concerted effort to keep at least a couple of proxies out on DiamondDope.
