MLB 2000-Present Dynasty Draft Chat

[Nosferatu]

just watched Tyler Clippard come into the All Star game thinking...middle reliever

If not for 2012 he would have been one of the first relievers picked...

 

[Logicallylethal]

Can't believe no one took JJ Putz!

He had some ridiculously good years in Seattle (78 innings 104 ks 2.30 era, 71 innings 82 ks 1.38 era) and has been pretty reliable in Chicago and Arizona (2.83, 2.17, 2.82, 2.36 era)

I had K Rod over my homer pick Holland so couldn't, but Smitty on the other hand couldn't control his homer picking skills...sure Putz could top any Tiger reliever, lol.

Josh Beckett (2 WS rings 2 different teams maybe soon 3) and Mark Prior (he was my sleeper injury pick by the way) were both not taken suprisingly...unless I really missed them.

I had Mark Prior, Matt Harvey, and Josh Johnson as my sleeper starting pitchers, but decided to go with Barry Zito who had a healthier and more reliable career

And I think no one took Beckett, because while he was a great post season pitcher he never really put together great regular seasons

Only the second time in my life I've been able to draft Donnie Boy. 12 team AL only Roto a couple years ago he wasn't even a reach. Guys who were semi-retired got drafted. But yeah, just couldn't help myself this time around.

Really wanted to deal a pitcher so I could grab Prior. Guy was ridiculous.

Had him #3 on my list, behind Kimbrel and Papelbon. I almost put him in front of Papelbon, but didn't in the end.

When I made my draft board, I expected people to downgrade him due to his injuries, so I had him around #15, and since I drafted SP so quickly I was full before he hit the top of the board. Not to mention that I wanted at least 1 lefty

15 seems fair. The man can work a count like nobody's bidness. For a player with no homers this season, he has tremendous power.

Did everybody just witness Rodney the setup man? Now close yoir eyes and imagine if Rodney the closer was warming up in the pen. Scary isn't it?

well, we are playing a 3 game playoff, sounds like post season to me....I would take Beckett over Verlander for clutch games.

 

[da55bums]

Thought for sure Smitty was going to get Inge and Rayburn for the bench spots after that Kelley pick.

Please don't tell me your gonna take a guy like Beckett over Verlander when you compare teams.......

I seriously hope your kidding......

 

[Ritzarmy]

I'm half way through updating Team Thread when kid started crying so I'll return to it in a hour when wife gets home. Hopefully we can start playoffs today. Thanks everyone for participating, it has been a lot of fun. Please stay active in the voting and thanks again for making this draft so successful. Thank you Nos for all your hard work in dealing with the constant duplicate picks and jerk posters like UK

 

[Davis_Mike]

I would take the drunk beer & chicken Beckett over Verlander...






That would be one hell of a party in the dugout.

I wouldnt take either if we had AAA teams. (Now if Inge would have accepted a utility role things would be different.)
