JAMES BEST DUKES MEMORIAL LGE draft thread.

Nice grab by Curt on Szucru. Was hoping to pick him up on the auto draft for CF backup vs. LH. Shoulda let my #5 SP go; there were at least two other options. Took a look at Grichuk, too.

My preference was Grichuk (thus the grumbling) - I had him in the Nimoy League, where he was my only bench player to break the Mendoza Line. Szczur (sp?) doesn't hit either lefties or righties quite as well (although he does have N power on both sides), and he's $140,000 more than Grichuk.

That said, I now have reasonable backup plans in place for all three of my most injury-prone regulars (Cuddyer, Lagares, Chavez against righties), so at least I won't have to keep my fingers crossed waiting for the autodraft results.

league is setup....password is hazzard
ive notified the remaining parties except for mark that they can make their final pick and start getting in the east when ready.

Got Mark's proxy, only Jason needs to pick and we're done. Let's get this puppy filled tonight! How's the East coming along?

I assume this guy is Chris Hatcher of the Marlins, rather than the LA Angels' Joe Thatcher (the salary makes sense). Please confirm.

East
1. CATom: Coors Field (19-19-16-16),
4. curt: PNC Park '14, (9, 9, 1, 1) IN
7. terry Busch Stadium '14, (11, 7, 6, 6)
10. kev: Wrigley Field '14, (14, 6, 5, 11)

by the way, password IS misspelled...hazzard...double z as in zz top. maybe that will discourage interlopers, but hopefully not confuse you. curt figured it out. I texted catom, terry and kev( wow, tough division!)

Sorry, YES - CHRIS HATCHER for Kramed. Change made on final draft list as well.
