Fantasy RBI League Official Draft Thread

And by proxy, fknmclane takes John Tudor.

[fknmclane]

I'm still here for the moment so I choose Johnny Tudor, the man, the myth, the legend.  WOO HOO!

[fightonusc]

John Tudor, the pick so nice that it was made twice...

[BeefMaster]

I'm gonna pick myself this time; give me a couple minutes to review the current situation.

[BeefMaster]

I go to the trouble of making that last post, and I pick the next guy on my proxy list anyway.

George Brett

[fightonusc]

And I'll select Mike Krukow.

With that, I say we hold off until tomorrow and give GreatScott a chance to catch up and let TeddyBallGame either be here tomorrow or get proxy picks to me. GreatScott can make his three picks (round 5 and 6 plus this round) at any time. Until we hear from him, let's put it on ice for a little while.

speak of the devil and he shall appear

[TβG]

dang guys, i actually have to work for once and then the draft almost passes me by

[TβG]

what round are we in? i have until 3:00 pacific

[fightonusc]

Well, I guess it worked out pretty well after all. Although, to be fair, we were going to put the brakes on the draft before it got to you.

I hope the proxy picks were OK with you.

[fknmclane]

So has the draft officially been called for the day?

I cannot be on all day again tomorrow.  The only reason I was on here before 12:30 my time was because my little girl stayed home sick today and I had to miss class.  I have class all morning and then work all night, so I won't be able to participate tomorrow.

I'll be more than happy to PM my proxy picks for the rest of the draft to usc if you guys wanna finish up tomorrow.  I can be on Wednesday afternoon, Phoenix time otherwise.

[fightonusc]

OK, we've got 7 of the 8 here. This is going to be our last best chance to plow through the draft for a while. I think we all agreed to try and be around Monday to make our picks, correct? I'm not trying to be a dick to GreatScott here, but since I think that was somewhat well established, and he's not here, I have no problem picking best available players for him the rest of the way so we can get our draft completed.

I don't feel great about this option, but does anyone object to it?

[TβG]

who has the next pick and what round are we on?

[dvldog]

let's go

[fknmclane]

Okay, let's draft.  Bitches...

[fightonusc]

OK, so I'm going to draft to fill up GreatScott's team with the best available non-pitchers to complete his starting eight. Then, I get his four pitchers, and finally the bench.

So, give me a second to get his three picks selected, and then I'll post them. After that, it's TeddyBallGame's turn (the draft board has been moved to a separate thread in the RBI Forum, BTW, Teddy).

[fightonusc]

OK, GreatScott selects Brian Downing, Harry Spilman and Bob Brenly. TeddyBallGame is now up for two picks...

[TβG]

We select Cal Ripken, and Terry Pendleton

[fightonusc]

I took Cal Ripken in Round 5. Go ahead and make another selection.

[TβG]

ripken was taken, i'll take boggs, please
