D2D trash talk and draft comments thread

pace is picking up a bit....we'll see.

Just thinking. The prospect draft is the reverse of the free agent draft. That's fair, but the stadium draft is also the reverse of the free agent draft. So a #1 free agent picker would be #24 in the prospect and #24 in the stadium. The #24 in the free agent would be #1 in the prospect and #1 in the stadium. We should just do a randomizer for the stadium draft or allow the stadiums to be picked anytime from round 16 on. What do you guys think?

You are two weeks late and several dollars short in your argument.

The difference between the #1 drafted player (Harper) and the #24 drafted player (Sano) is miles more than the difference between the #1 drafted prospect and the #24 drafted prospect. Or even the difference between #1 + #48 (Harper and Cain) vs. #24 + #25 (Sano + Syndergaard). You think Fred is swapping Harper and Cain for anybody else's first 2 picks? Giving the guy with the #24 overall pick the first pick at ballparks doesn't come close to evening it up.

I believe you're right but I'll take my high prospect pick with pleasure, anyhoo!

I thought we can start picking stadiums anytime after round 14?

Stadium rules:
1) Each player will draft a unique stadium FOLLOWING Round 15 of the Initial Free Agent draft.
2) Stadium draft order will be the reverse of Round 1 of the Initial Free Agent draft.
3) The 8 teams with the worst record at the end of the 2nd season will have the option to change stadiums prior to the Free Agent draft.
4) If the BP effects change by +/-6 in one category or by +/-15 in all four categories combined the owner may change stadiums after the bottom teams have made their selection
5) Stadiums may be traded among owners at the end of any season

Realistically, there's no reason we can't start the ballpark draft now. I find it highly unlikely that there is anyone left in the draft pool that can possibly change someone's mind about what park they want to use. But there's no hurry, with the untimed weekend here.

We got the first Stadium pick in. Ed wants Yankee Stadium. DcIrish is up.

Sorry folks. Family medical emergency that, is, well, ok for the now. Guess we'll see what happens in the later AM when I get up. Just walked in the door, and figured there would be a lynch mob waiting for me. Anyhoo, gonna crash a lil and check back in round 9 or so before I get ready to go back to the hospy.

I am hoping the best for you and your family Michael.
