Man, I thought LeFlore would have been the perfect pinch runner for my line up.

 

[Nosferatu]

It's weird I don't ever remember having so much issue with people wanting the players I want before. Even doing the current drafts it didn't happen like it is in this one...

It's actually fun. I get validation that people like the same players (when they take mine) and satisfaction to beat them to someone (when I get them first)!

I have lost out on 4 players because people sent me a list with my player at the top of their list, i'd rather not have that validation...

Very true Nos this draft we have seen in every round guys get taken right before someone who had the same guy high on his list. The very most times in all of our drafts. It's properly because the eligibility is smaller in this draft compared to others where you can draft any player which means 80years of players compared to like 20years in this draft 10 before 77 and 10yrs after 77.

Thats true but we have done current drafts that would include even less players and it didnt happen like this.

Me too!

 

[Ritzarmy]

My next pick I'll pull a Fudge and select Pete Rose and say I didn't see he was taken. It's a true story but the draft was the NFL and tried taking Payton Manning in the 6th round when he went #2 in the first round. Ahh good old times.

I was gonna take Jose Cruz until Nos scooped him up. Settled on Burroughs, arguably had a better career, 240 HR's and an MVP. Didn't realize he won one

13.8.128 : UK : RF - Jeff Burroughs
13.9.129 : Steve : OTC
13.10.130 : Stoke :

 

[Nosferatu]

Burroughs .261 avg .355 obp 1443 hits 121 ops+
Cruz .284 avg .354 obp 2251 hits 120 ops+

Not to far off. I had burroughs on my list, wanted Cruz because he's a left handed bat.

completely agree, from the 2nd round on, its been amazing how many players were crossed off my lists. I know I have changed complete team stragegies at least 3 times now because so many players get taken by my next pick.

Its added some fun frustration to this draft.

 

[da55bums]

had 40 vbucks on CWS and 50 on KC...lost CWS and didn't get my 25 bucks....thanks rat Ritz.

 

[blstoker]

Now that the talent is becoming less and less apparent, it'll be interesting how many of the same guys are sought after. I've probably had the fewest number of players taken by others that weren't even on my board as I've ever had (I think 3 total so far).

Burroughs .261 avg .355 obp 1443 hits 121 ops+
Cruz .284 avg .354 obp 2251 hits 120 ops+

Yep, Cruz lefty and a higher average, Burroughs a lot more homers. I liked Cruz's lefty bat too. Plus that crazy ass stance lol

 

[da55bums]

name that made me go hmmmm.... Mike Tyson of the Cardinals.

You should because Bookie said it's just a glitch that can't be fixed.
