Fantasy Draft Commentary

we are going off the previous seasons...

the stats are good, but data (which I extensively tracked) from previous seasons are invaluable

[fknmclane]

usc, I was looking at my positions filled and I'm wondering who my second infielder is besides DaEvans.  I'm sure I'm just not thinking but...

[dvldog]

you actually have 4 OFs, so 3 OFs and 1 Bench Player... and 1 IF

OK, I'm now officially the retard here.

fknmclane, you only have one IF. If you changed your drafting strategy because of me marking the wrong information down, I feel really, really bad about this. If this impacted your decisions, please feel free to take any one of my infielders in exchange for any one of my outfielders as compensation.

Now a 5 team league

there are many retarded people on the board today

[fknmclane]

No big deal on the mistake.  I may not have taken the Candyman, but it really isn't an issue.  No worries.

Where's defen?

usc has my proxy picks, I'll be off for about 15 minutes.

[fightonusc]

Let me just state that fknmclane is one of the nicest guys on the board, and a real gentleman for not taking me up on my offer to trade any of my IFs for any of his OFs. Still, I'll let the offer stand until the end of the draft if he changes his mind.

[ultimate7]

Now the run on pitchers has begun and it's a long time before I draft again.

[dvldog]

fknmclane is one of the nicest guys on the board

this is an understatement

In a meeting, bitches.  I'm back for a while but even then I can be reached by phone IM in the car on the way home.

[dvldog]

buckner?

[fknmclane]

I just noticed something.  I have 4 OFers, all picked early.  My last pick, the Candyman, was because I thought I had an extra infielder.

I said it was no big deal earlier and it still isn't but I'm kinda unhappy about one thing.  I gotta put one of those outfielders on the bench now, something I'd rather not do.

So can we treat the Candyman as an infielder?  Or do we compromise and have me and usc trade Mitchell for the Candyman (it only makes sense for this swap, as they were picked around the same time and are the same quality player - I can't take a stud, that wouldn't be right.)

Sorry for the late reaction on the situation.  Again, I just noticed this.  I don't mean to cause any problems in an otherwise great draft.

[dvldog]

i have no objections

[fknmclane]

i have no objections

To treating Candy as an infielder?

[dvldog]

to either situation

[fightonusc]

I have no problem to playing Candy as an IF. This seems fair to me.

[fknmclane]

Okay, good deal.  Sorry I didn't catch this earlier when it first came up.  Don't mean to take away from the draft.  Thanks for understanding.

i say you trade, we already signed off on a draft list before we began
