MLB 1977 Player Draft

[broncosmitty]

I know, I've been a disaster for everyone

Not at all man.

I've butchered many a Mock. Ritz still keeps me on the payroll as a consultant.

Are we still on those original time slots, if so, does that mean my pick time is in 15 minutes? OR am I in the wrong round?

Yes and no. We are still on the original draft times but we were ahead of schedule so we were at on the draft times is on the 2nd half of the times. Basically we are just drafting in order till Monday. To solve these loooong delays would be by everyone leaving a list.

To doobee please don't beat yourself up over your comical back to back to back to back re-picks that's our job as a league of smart ass friends. Seriously man these drafts are complicated when you first start off. Hopefully it won't discourage you from other drafts. Your playing with others who have done at least 5+ other drafts together so it's enjoyable for us having new guys participate and even better if you return. I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to this draft and thanks for joining.

It is kinda fun to pick on the new guy though...

Speaking of a new guy. Ms. Hockey is OTC and has been PM'd. The Threads have been updated of Doobs pick.

 

[broncosmitty]

Yep, what Ritz said.

I've loved doing these in the past. (How could anyone not like drafting?)

Eventually everyone goofs up. I know I compound my flubs when I try and rush. (Drafting Rodney to setup for Rodney the closer...). If you can, try and leave a list. It's prevents draft traffic jams and is a big help between. (Plus, we all know Ritz loves PMs. : )

Im a phone only poster, so that cntr F stuff is no use to me.

And seriously hockey, Perez for The Big Wheel, lets do this. (Trams son is named Lance....)

 

[Nosferatu]

Excellent pick doobee, I thought about taking him with my last pick but I thought I could wait longer on him, oops!

 

[Ritzarmy]

Just 212 more posts Nos. I'll buy you a few beers when you visit next year for the accomplishment.

Separate note: I am still ecstatic that Hammer gave us a thread to post on and then get news that the Fordman or Hammer will award 500 to the winner of the draft. All of Nos's and my hard work seems to finally rewarded a little by those 2 things. I'm glad I grew some balls and asked (got on my knees) for our own forum and a monthly award.

I am not giving Doobee to much credit on that nice pick because hell he properly ran out guys who were already taken so he tried a new strategy and chose from available players. I also am not giving credit because he misspelled the guys name. I am unsure if he wanted John Candelaria or John Cappelletti

 

[Ritzarmy]

I took Frank White. When I played Tee Ball (still struck out) I played 2B. My favorite player growing up was Frank White. I have soooo many Frank White cards its unbelievable. He was a hell of player but never really got that much recognition for everything he did.

Why you gotta throw a Penn St guy into this?

You sure your favorite player wasn't Disco Dan Ford?

Because when I googled (not binged sorry) his last name to see if he was eligible for selection Cappelletti name came up.

Never heard of Disco Ford.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Also nice job Nos on name dropping. Maybe somebody wanted to take Ford who was a WS Champ, .270 career batting avg, 121 HR and 566 RBI outfielder.

 

[Nosferatu]

Okay, sorry how about Bombo Rivera?

We have a trade pending Nos's approval.

Doobee gets my 8,15,18 for his 9,10,11 round picks.

Sorry Jeffro who also accepted my trade but Doobee accepted it 5minutes before you did.

I'm going to open this one up to the rest of the guys...

This trade makes no sense to me so I want others input.

Doobee is trading up 7 spaces into the 8th round and giving up a 10th and 11th and getting back 15th and 18th. Seems a lot to give up this late in the draft to move up 7 spots.

Trading 75, 98 & 103 for 83, 146 & 175

Trading up 7 spots with 1 pick and down 48 and 72 spots for the other two...
