Fantasy Baseball

OK, that's five people (including me) saying Tuesday March 29, at 8pm EST is good … if we get two more i'll change it …

OK, I've heard from half the league, thanks for all your quick responses … the new draft time is:

Tuesday March 29 at 6:45pm EST

I had initially thought that 8pm was available, but I guess I was confused by yahoo's liberal mixing of PST and EST.

Hope it works for everyone, sorry for the last minute change, it'll be for the best.

Let me just run that past my boss and see if I can get the afternoon off to do a fantasy baseball draft.

i'm sure he'll be fine with it =)

can't you just say you have a conference call or something?

weren't you going to have to take the afternoon off anyway for tomorrow's draft?

I work for the State. I would be off the clock for a draft at 5. I'm not sure for 3:45, but I'm sure it will be fine. It's on my calender early enough anyway and it's Spring Break for the students, so distractions should be at a minimum. Unfortunately the mayors office, the State capital and the Nations capital don't celebrate spring break.

No worries, I was kidding really. No fair asking during Man United's champions league game, however.

It will just cut into my board time I guess, but by 3:30 PT this palce is dead anyway. It will get me home in plenty of time on Halo night however, and that's good.

so who is drafting Rick Ankiel as an outfielder?

:confused:

i was thinking the same thing. poor guy.

i wish the pirates would do this with their #1 pick from a couple years ago, john van benschoeten. he was a top hitter in college, but they made him focus solely on pitching and the results have been mixed, at best. and the bucs are in desperate need of an impact hitter.

he's gone for the year. . .i think it's his shoulder this time.

what do you think of this draft i had two nights ago …. it's a traditional 5x5 league with steals …

i think i got some good value, but reached with a couple of picks (patterson and livan in particular)

R1 P1) Albert Pujols
R2 P12) Gary Sheffield
R3 P1) Curt Schilling
R4 P12) Mariano Rivera
R5 P1) Corey Patterson
R6 P12) Nomar Garciappara
R7 P1) Livan Hernandez
R8 P12) Bret Boone
R9 P1) Mike Mussina
R10 P12) Jose Guillen
R11 P1) Troy Glaus
R12 P12) Brad Radke
R13 P1) Brad Wilkerson
R14 P12) Jake Westbrook
R15 P1) Jon Lieber
R16 P12) Derek Lowe
R17 P1) Tom Gordon
R18 P12) JD Closser
R19 P1) Dallas McPherson

How many teams are in your league. I can see you won't be in the top half of the steals catagory. Schilling's value has dropped since the injury I see.

Kosmo just informed me that Ash are playing an instore at a record store in Berkeley on (of course) Tuesday, March 29, 5:00 PM PT.

Nice job on the reschedule.

12 teams … yeah, i didn't get many burners at all, i'm not used to drafting for speed, i dont usually play in SB leagues … this is actually a head-to-head weekly league, so i'll see how it goes for a few weeks and make some trades / changes …

sorry smackie, skip the damn draft!

did we lose a team? i was just pre-ranking some players and counted 13 squads. did we originally have 14?

I was at the SF Amoeba yesterday talking to the staff and they said that Ash was originally supposed to play the SF Amoeba, but were moved to the Berkeley Amoeba. Care to guess why?

Of course, the Bravery are now playing the SF Amoeba at 5:00. Unbelievable. See you at the draft…

Good luck with the draft, everyone. Hopefully Yahoo will do an ok job with my list…sorry I can't be there in (virtual) person.

I probably won't be there either because of work. Hopefully yahoo does a good job with my team also. :cool:
