MLB 1977 Player Draft

[Nosferatu]

Feels like we are barely moving now...

 

[steveringo]

Since it it slow, I'll post my team for ridicule...

I've made a few mistakes (focusing on career instead of peaks - waiting too long for RP - crossing a player off my list that wasn't picked!), but I like my team... I probably have little chance to win without a solid closer...

Any other critiques?

[Ritzarmy]

Smitty, Nos and Jeffro are OTC.

Jeffro please only take 1 player now. Once Smitty and Nos select then you can select your last player in the draft.

Everyone once you finish drafting you will need to post your lineup on the Team Thread. (On the same post) First list your batting order including DH if you have one. Then list your bench players. Then list Starting Pitchers in order you want them to pitch. Then list your Bull Pen.

Thank you guys for making this a very successful draft. Once we have everyone's lineup Nos will create the playoff matchups and we can start voting. Remember the winner of this draft will get 500vCash.

 

[jeffro151]

Can I take my last pick now? Nos and Smitty are both online and have yet to take their pick...........

 

[da55bums]

[Ritzarmy]

After Smitty picks you can. Nos said to skip him. Thanks for waiting. You can leave a list if u don't want to wait.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Jeffro go ahead and draft. I know Smitty he wouldn't want guys waiting. Everyone continue to draft in order. I'm heading to bed and hopefully nos can sort out any problems later if they happen.
