Slim pickings

I drafted Gary Sutherland because I noticed there are like no 2nd basemen left...who knew that 2nd and 3rd were going to be the biggest positions of scarcity! Weird: we were all worried about SS and C!!

Summary thru Round 12.
At about the midway point, here are team salaries and projected divisions
Owner Salary Superstars
Allstar 51 2
Franky 42 1
gfdwarf 50 2
Gordie 50 2
Grover 33 0
hfsmart 35 2
idanred 32 0
jett 34 0
miduar 40 2
ricksmith 41 2
rj 48 2
sneeze 42 1
Divisions are by salary. Right now, I can't predict East or Central.
The West will be hfsmart, miduar, ricksmith plus one more.
By the end of round 12, everyone has at least 3 starting pitchers. So, at this point it looks like there won't be any limit on the number of starters you can take.
We are going to see a lot of players in the field that we don't usually see. How is everyone feeling about their team? Comments on the league?

Thanks Franky, shaping up to be a very interesting league. Though I fear the potential outcome! Every time through the draft order I seem to have a dozen glaring holes. The only problem is now after 12 rounds I still have roughly 11 holes. :lol: I look at my lineup with the same squint that I use when watching an animal attack video on youtube.
The league has opened my eyes to a lot of players that I normally don't consider and I think that will be fun to apply in future leagues as well. I am still pissed that I missed Angel Bravo.
I will say that there have been an amazing number of players taken right before my picks that were in my proxies. As a result I have had several times where my top priority was not addressed .Probably just reflects the thinner player pool more than like minded thinking on talent.
I predict Al Ferrara will be a 30HR/75RBI guy for me. How about that?
And Larry Dierker will probably have at least a third of my teams W's.
My starting 2B Don Mason is a 2(e41). He has good range but obviously no idea what to do when he gets to the ball. And he has big doe eyes in his 1970 Topps card - taken during the '69 season. This leads to more errors. He is even better at SS 3(e88). So my opponents should look for hitters with an inordinate number of Gb2B(x) on their cards.... :lol:
Joe Pepitone will have fresh dirt in the Lefty batters box every day.... Plus he's still pissed that he didn't get to play for AllStarInc. THAT is where the players want to play.
GFDwarf07's locker room is done in a combination Shanty Town/Calvin Griffith motif - no running water, jock straps hanging from rusty nails, friable asbestos ceilings, dust bunnies that look like they could bite your ankles, training table with three week old cotto salami and stale bread. But on the good side, we have now upgraded to a third urine bucket to pass around. And our clubhouse boy is now going to take a bath monthly, whether he needs it or not.
Gotta cut corners somewhere to make money in this league.
