BOS Alphabet League CHAT Thread

Nice pickup on Ewing, pacoboy. He was my targeted player if I ever got stuck on "E"--he is sick at OBP against LHP at a very reasonable price for a backup catcher.

Thanks. First time I ever saw the card

SPOILER ALERT


Do not read past this if you love the letter Z choices.




Q should not count as your letter skip when the prior owner picked W. As an example, if you already had a Y then you can use your one letter skip per turn to get to Z. Or add a letter pass to get past the dreaded Z.

This could apply to any other letters that might "disappear" from the draft if they are all taken. Please be gone "Q".

I am not sure exactly what you are saying, sorry.

Once a letter is exhausted then you get a FREE PASS over that letter but not until the letter is completely wiped out (Including Stadiums). The lone exception is if you have a Stadium but your only choice is a stadium.

Example:

There are only 8 "Q'" choices - 6 players and 2 stadiums. Since I already have a stadium, I get a free pass once the 6 players are gone....but those who need a stadium, will be forced to take one.

Moral to the story, don't wait on a Stadium.

Hope that answers the question.


As for "Z" there are more than enough to go around but most all suck......you ZZZZZZZZZ you lose. Those who chose to skip early could regret that decision later one. That's why I grabbed Zimmerman as quick as I could.

I am mainly talking about the letter "X". It is an empty space. Main Line wrote "X" LS, "Y" Eddie Yost. No LS is needed to choose Y. The LS can be used during that turn but not needed to skip Q.

Can we make trades prior to the autodraft running?

9. TYPES OF SKIPS and NOTATIONS on the Draft Boards "LS" = Letter Skip (when you already have that letter), "FS" = Free Skip (we each get 3 for the duration of the draft) , and "NPS" = No Players Skip = There are no players OR Stadiums left in the draft pool with that letter ...this would be "X"

Ok, got it thanks

Letter for Letter I will allow
