GB is saving his pitching picks to grab Kershaw. :D

Sorry for the slight delay - based on the speed of the draft today I did not expect the draft to get back to me before I got home from Softball, so I did not update my proxies. Anyways picks made and the draft moves on. :)

Assuming GB spends under $1M per player the rest the way out, there is still hope that Kershaw makes an Opening Roster. :shock:

Nice to see the disparity in "dry powder" funds - a few owners are saving the cash for a rainy day.


I thought about Kershaw but didnt want to spend 10m on 1 Sp. :)

A reminder to all managers it is against league rules to mention the names of any players that have not, yet, be drafted.

Thanks.

Semper and AT, you know better.

Technically I do not recall that being an official rule (as I do not see it listed in the rules) - more of an unwritten custom as far I am concerned. Occasionally it occurs accidentally - no harm no foul in my opinion but I apologize to anyone who was planning on drafting the player, if someone else grabs him first.

I suppose you're right..it *is* sort of informal, policy is a better word than "rule" I guess.

Spider can pick.


Sorry guys. I DID have the proxy entered, but somehow the cell for "number of picks" to make in the group had gone down to zero, and I hadn't noticed that. So the proxy didn't fire properly.

Should be back on track now. I see that I had another auto pick work for me - Blackmon.

Re being the last player to draft a pitcher...I thought I'd try a different approach this time - basically drafting my starting lineup. I have some ideas for what I'm going to do....and they probably don't involve that pitcher who has not yet been picked and must not be named! ;)

I'm enjoying this draft so far. I'm picking some players that I haven't picked yet on 2013 teams. Making for an interesting draft!

I have spent just over 62 mil but the site says I still have over 54 mil to spend. Is anybody else seeing this? Are we sure we have the right cap set?

Mine is OK. I show $36,400,000 left, in my own calculations, and the program says $33,400,000 left. The difference is the $3 M that we talked about when we started, as being the minimum for 6 additional players to auto draft.
