Ah, I get it now.
In that case, I'll take the Hawk himself, Andre Dawson.
Right, nomaaa picks last in the first round, but then gets the first pick in the second round (so 2 picks in a row).
Just to spite Octo for stalling the draft.
I'll take Strawberry.
Sorry for the delay comrades, thanks for waiting for me.
I'll lay claim to hJose. Still working on the team name.

Generalissimo is an English loan word from the Spanish Generalisimo, which you are indeed correct in pointing out has only one S.
My team name is in English. I appreciate your confirmation though.
EDIT: Oops, make that from the Italian, apparently, after double-checking. Not that anyone else cares. It was of course a Spaniard who influenced my name, however.

Nomaaa is up for 2 picks.

His AIM account's logged on and doesn't read idle, so I've messaged him.
You know as a BoSox fan he's going to take Armas anyway, I think Shooty may have a viable plan. Maybe he'd prefer Burks over Murphy though, I dunno.

Thought about doing that, but really want everyone to get the players they want.
I think as long as we can finish this thing by Friday, we should not have a problem. Hopefully after my message, we can cruz through this thing.
You know, after thinking about it, I remember how Nomaaa was such a loyal fan in the last fantasy league that he picked Wade "Fucking" Boggs while much better picks were available, just since he was such a huge beantown fan. So I am 99% sure that he wants Armas and Burks. And I am willing to go on a limb to take personal responsibility if I am incorrect here and offer Nomaaa to trade those players with any of my pics on the off chance he is dissatisfied.
I think it's important to keep this sucker rolling. A long, drawn-out draft was one of the things that doomed that aforemetioned previous fantasy league.
So, pending the permission of Stock and barring any major objections, I move we just give Nomaaa Armas/Burks and move on in the draft.

The only problem with that is we will only get to the end of round 3 and we will be in the same place as we are now. Will we just continue to give him Boston players?
If everyone else wants to move forward regardless, I am willing to give Nomaa burks/armas contingent on Octos "deal".
Someone else please second this request, and it will be done.
I still say we give hime 'till 1130 cst to respond to the IM though.
Edit: Jim Rice is up there as well. Are you sure Armas/Burks would be his picks?
Just wanted to let everyone know that during the day I'll be around, albeit sporatically, but after 7PM I'll be around most of the night (huge midweek loser here). However, today and tomorrow I'm training a few classes, so I'll PM my picks or call Octo with my picks.
Isn't Nomaa typically online during the early afternoon? Should we set a time limit to make his picks and if he doesn't just give him two studs (Burks and Buckner?) from Boston?

That probably wouldn't be fair to him since those rules weren't in place when the draft started
Armas and Burks sound good to me.
Better that we get to the end of round 3, then stay stuck at the end of round 1.
How many rounds is that draft anyways?
9
Effective are the drafting rules which will go into effect as soon as Nomaa makes his next two picks:
Once a pick is made, the next person has 2 hours to make his next pick.
This rule will take effect from 8am to 10pm CST. (ie.. if a pick is made at 930pm, the next person will have until 830am the next morning).
If the next pick is not made in the 2 hour time frame (or I do not have a ranked draft list for your team), you will be given the player with the highest power number available sorted by ascending contact and then descending speed values.
If at any time you feel that you may not be able to make your next pick, it is your responsibility to either:
1. Get me a ranked list of YOUR choosing.
2. Get someone else a ranked list that will be able to draft on your behalf.
I hate to double back on what I said earlier, but just do not feel that it would be fair to Nomaaa, as there were no rules in place.
Those rules sound good. And although giving Nomaaa those picks could potentially allow us to get through two more rounds (before he would come up again), I understand and respect your position. I was gonna dissent, but then I remembered you've got the power to rig my games. Kidding. I do think it's cool that you started this league, and it's very big of you to do this for the rest of us, and [edit: you do have your own team after all, slim. Still though.]
Also there will be egg on your face when Nomaaa rolls by tonight and picks Armas/Burks.
Nomaa will pick Rice as 1 of his 2
You might be right, I guess the monster speed advantage Timmy B has is basically negligible given that the games will be computer-played. I'd take Burks hands down in any non-simmed league though.
Edit: Fuck that, Stock's playing the offense. Timbo all the way.
hey, i got out of school early to get home and do this before my game.
oddly enough, contemplating my choices, i gotta go with my homeboys burks and noturmasbutarmas.
i thought about jim rice, but, yes, octo knows me well. i like speed. gimme tim, err, ellis.
Awesome, let's get this going. I'll be gone in about 15 min. (1:45 forum time) till about 4:30 forum time. After that I'll be here pretty much all night. I don't anticipate getting to me by that time (I pick second to last in this round). If we do, then just take whoever has the highest power available. Thanks.
Murphy
Edit: Next pick before 3:47pm (cst).

(He muttered jealously in the face of a superior strategy)
From what I recall, Stock is a BP player, so I imagine he's keen on getting lefty hits,
Don't forget that the computer is fielding, any ground ball is going to be a base hit anyway. Stupid, sexy computer...
Because of the rules, WeatherMatt has until 10am CST before we force his pick...
I think it's time we move along
The problem is that Matt has another pick after I make my two, so there will be more waiting. But we do...
From what I can tell, GDavis has the highest power rating of the remaining players. Can anyone confirm? If so, he gets him...
I checked it out, looks like GDavis...
I select Jim Lindeman and Alan Trammel, WeatherMatt is up again...
I think if someone times out once they get autopicked until they show up again
I agree, but we really didn't decide on that beforehand. We'll give him a one-hour window for this pick, that's a good compromise. He has until 11:15...
It's already 11:20
Stupid central time zone people!
It's not Central Time, it's Dee-Nee time (DNT)...
I'll take Glenn Davis.
Sorry for the delay...
All that delay for Glenn Davis??? you should have gone autodraft
you'll get GDavis and you'll like it!
Well, I wanted a good lefty, but there's really none available. I think Whitaker is the best on the board right now.

I'll take Spilman off your hands.
Spilman > Nokes
Gantry or Kips needs to make Slim's pick, then we wait for Nomaaa
Pat Sheridan for Slim.
I'm going away for awhile, hopefuly Kips can chime in next round with Slim's pick...
Quote from: Gantry on 05/11/06, 12:57:08 PM
Pat Sheridan for Slim.
I call foul!
"I'll take Kevin Mitchell because I'll get my choice of Sheridan or Spilman on the way back."
But I will give you Kevin Mitchell for Spilman.

Because I thought that Spilman would last and Mitchell wouldn't. I got greedy and thought I could get them both.

Same thing happened to me w/ Lemon. I'm all about the Lemon Party.
And I honestly would not trade Spilman for Nokes
I really wanted Sheridan. Then Spilman. Then Mitchell. Damn. So how 'bout it Geena. Mitchell for Spilman?
I can't wait for Stock to post the stats. Nokes will be top 10 in HR's. *crosses fingers*

Not a chance
I'm not sure there is anyone already drafted that I'd rather have less than Nokes
Let's pull off the first RBI trade.
Now that I think about it Spilman is slow as fuck.

You're just trying to drive down his value. It won't work. We both know he's the best player ever.
Actually I think Spilman is the slowest person in the game.

Top 10 is damn good, especially consider others are telling me that Nokes isn't worth even a 5th round pick.
No but seriously. Nokes is a fucking stud.
Nomaaa is up with two.
And you are correct, Spilman is tied for the slowest with the Boston trio (Armas, Buckner, and Sullivan)
Quote from: Racktacular on 05/11/06, 01:31:55 PM
Actually I think Spilman is the slowest person in the game.
A guy that hits bombs like the Spill doesn't need speed. All he needs is a slow, steady home run trot.
Spilman is good for one AB per game due to his bench status. Now that he is starting...bye bye stats.
Spilman ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS produces in a big spot, whether it's in his pinch hit AB or subsequent ABs.
oh and LOL LMAO ROTF at you trashing a player that you wanted to trade for 2 minutes ago.

I really wanted Sheridan. Not so much Spilman. I was worried about Gantry taking him but after Gantry didn't take him I thought I had a great shot at getting him. Little did I remember that Gantry could pick for Stock...

Name dropper.
wow, i could have sworn henderson was picked. yes, thanks octo.
i guess i am on the clock, i shall pick soon.
and i did officially allow octo to make picks for me, we have chatted lots (mostly because of the american rbi draft) about my style (and loyalty to boston). so he can make any picks of mine if i cannot make it to the nee of dee, which is completely evident, by my lack of participation thus far.
brett & hendrk
Kip or Gantry needs to pick for Stock.
Team Rankings so far:
GDavis
Gantry
Shooty
BigHath
Octo
Slim
Nomaaa
WeatherMatt
Kips
Rack
At least I'd be in the playoffs.
my faux sox are going to kick ass. just you wait.
posting from the phone - Slim takes Hendrick...
PS Rack - Stock emailed me the pick, I didn't take sheridan for him...
Slim needs to know that Hendrick was already selected
Hendrick be taken!
If Hendrick's been taken, Slim takes George Brett.

could you please delete about 75 of those O's so the screen isn't messed up?
Vince Coleman please.
If I can demand something here Stock. I demand that each Coleman attempted hit be an opposite field gapper between SS and 3B. Thanks.
Put a fork in Rack. He's done

LOL. All my guys were taken. I figure Coleman should be able to beat out 8/10 groundballs to the opposite side without the fast throw. Then Matt Nokes can hit a HR to drive him in.

I would have liked to grab Coleman as well.
Quote from: WeatherMatt on 05/11/06, 03:36:51 PM

Rack used an illegal wiretap to find out that you wanted Coleman. He should have to repick.
Is it my pick yet? There isn't much talent left and I would like to pick again.
Hey, if civil liberties have to be trampled upon to keep Vince Coleman from possibly falling into the hands of a known Democrat, then so be it.
Did anyone get a list from Octo (Stock/Gantry)? Otherwise, he has until 5:17 forum time to pick.
Blank Morris.
Also, what the hell is forum time? CDT? I changed my account settings to Eastern.
Shit, didn't realize that. Forum time is indeed CDT (or at least standard, unchanged forum time).
Either way, Kips is on the clock.
One moment.
Davey Lopes.
With the ...what pick is this, 59?th pick in the draft, the One Nut Kruks select...
Bob Brenly
Nice pick.
Gantry is up for 2 picks in then right back to weathermatt.
Speed is going fast, probably gonna have to get someone with my next pick.
My buddy got screwed with no lefties.
Luckily I was able to send a quick email to gantry to change my pick (which I originally sent to Gantry) from Hendrick to Shrdan.
Talked to my buddy this morning as he wanted an update on his team. He was pissed to find out he had no lefties.
yeah lefties are great and all, but I say if you can hit, you can hit
Quote from: Big Hath on 05/11/06, 06:20:07 PM
yeah lefties are great and all, but I say if you can hit, you can hit
I especially like lefties agains the computer though, since they very rarely turn DPs on them.
I pretty much agree, as I only have one lefty currently. If you can hit, it doesn't matter what side of the plate you're on.
More than half the guys left are lefties.
when i play, i feel twice as confident hitting with righties than lefties.
good think i like boston.
Oh God we are drafting Bob Brenly. I say we end the draft now.
Brenly>Nokes>Coleman
Quote from: Racktacular on 05/11/06, 06:54:39 PM

You're just mad that you couldn't draft Bob Brenly.
Gimme Fugly and Garner... I can't believe that I have to draft two more starters...
DAMNIT! I was going for Fugly too. I thought for sure you'd pass on him.
Shit, now I need to think of someone else.
With the 62nd pick in the draft, the One Nut Kruks select...
Ozzie Smith
Run on Cards!!
I take Tony Pena, and having just got off the phone with OctoFranco, he takes Terry Pendleton
Quote from: Gantry on 05/11/06, 06:58:48 PM
Gimme Fugly and Garner... I can't believe that I have to draft two more starters...
Call me Mr. McGrath, but who the hell is "Fugly"?
Fugly = Willie McGee
I was guessing that since he is probably the ugliest rbi'er, but could not figure out where the "F" came from.
Any chance that Nightwulf can make a rom where the pitchers can't move on the mound? (If I recall, he made one once where the pitcher could go the entire width of the screen)
Probably should ask in another thread, nightwulf probably isn't reading this one...
Fugly = Fkn ugly
Fugly is just simple Internet slang. I don't know the exact origin, but Fugly is probably for fucking ugly.
Rack is up..
Shit I was going to take Fugly too. He is good for 1 HR a game.
Quote from: Racktacular on 05/11/06, 07:24:12 PM
Shit I was going to take Fugly too. He is good for 1 HR a game.
No, no he's not. I've hit one home run with him in my life, and it was in the 18th inning of a scoreless game.
Quote from: OctogenarianFranco on 05/10/06, 10:37:31 AM
You know, after thinking about it, I remember how Nomaaa was such a loyal fan in the last fantasy league that he picked Wade "Fucking" Boggs while much better picks were available, just since he was such a huge beantown fan.
i will have boggs by the end!
edit: suck it octo, i wanted pendleton!

I love Fulgy. I hit homers with him all the time. Hence the reason straight pitch is different and Matt Nokes is a stud.
HAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRROLD Baines
Alright guys, lets finish this up tonite.
Have a few players in mind so you can draft asap when your'e up.
Mookie
The last few picks have surprised me..
Shooty takes Grich
Jew is up.
Name: Tim Burks & the Faux Sox
Abbreviation: fS
Colors: red shirt (G2)* & purple hats (E1)*
Flesh: Non-White (A5)
*found on the color chart in nightwulf's rbi-editor v.2 where the letters progress horizontally and the letters vertically.
Quote from: Stock on 05/11/06, 07:44:30 PM
The last few picks have surprised me..
How so?
people have been going with speed rather than hitting ability/power? possibly?
by last few, I meant Rack's last few picks.
That was my reasoning for drafting the power challenged Smith. Get on base with speed so my 2/3/4 hitters can knock him in...
i just hope this doesn't turn out like the american rbi league...
Quote from: Stock on 05/11/06, 07:56:24 PM

They are good huh?
The only pick I regret is Kevin Mitchell over Pat Sheridan.
I really like Rack's team, him and Natty Gan's are probably my favorites going into the season.
Is GDavis at Temple?
He's still got an hour and a half.
Not sure why but I really like Kips' team.
Probably because I like lefties, and Kips' team is chock full of power lefties.

I have two guys I want but I don't see how either one is getting by Gantry. Tree, you want to tell me the 2 guys you want?
Cool, I am off the hook for a while.
Gotta go catch some of "the ultimate fighter".
Will come back around 9:50 (cst) to check up on things.

I'm just trying to figure out a way to get both of them.

Burleson
You son of a bitch!
Alright. Fine. Give me.
VAGINA!
heh, I knew he was one of the ones you wanted
I'm in your head.
lol
Everyone to the right of me, well except Nomaaa, has stolen 1 player from me. I tried to get Burly and Vagina. But I didn't think I would be able to. Bush is a lefty so if that is any consolation...
the only thing i think i did wrong with this draft is i assumed i'd be playing (7 righties so far). stock, get some practice with boston.
Octo's on his way over here, he'll be making his pick very shortly.

Randy Bush
Going to work now.
Since I cannot log in at work, I will send Gantry an email if it gets to my turn.
Also, I have a (old) list of ranked players for shooty. He has until 10am to make his pick. If he doesn't log in by then, I will send Gantry his pick as well (from his list).
Don't want to jump the gun on Shooty's pick since it is an old list, and the last pick he made was not someone at the top of his list.
See ya
i will not be home until 3:00 PM eastern, for i have school, but since i am last, i hope the draft can last that long.

with the 90th pick of the 2006 Stock Fantasy Draft, Tim Burks & the Faux Sox select Terry Puhl from the Houston Astros.
Would have liked to see Sullivan or Spike Owen there...
i was real close to sullivan.
but... he's slow as fugg.
I'm pretty relieved to see Puhl (Shooty, Canuck, where were you on that one?) picked, I was considering taking him in place of Gwynn (I meant to take Gladden in the 8th, but for some reason wrote Gwynn instead).
stock should allow trades. at least before the season starts.
