Alright I made my round 4 pick for the Pirates. I know who I'm going to take in round 5, but before I do, you're both turning off injuries and healing all previous injuries, right?

Correct. And I'm pretty sure I know who that means you're drafting!

e: I was wrong and also you suck I wanted him in the sixth :negative:

Moore was my pick this round.

Honestly I think a lot of our "sleepers" aren't going to be all that useful until like round 10 or something. We're still trafficking in big names at the moment.

I'm not saying Moore was a sleeper, just that I wanted him next round. Or this round if the two guys I have on my list get taken in the next three picks.

I hadn't actually paid any attention to the thread since the start of the draft, so if that's the reaction to the Moore pick, I guess I'm doing alright so far.

I should probably actually make a list soon. But I guess my next pick won't be for ever anyways.

Zodiac has about an hour to pick. I don't know what time zone he is in but he said he'd be back at 530, which was an hour ago, now, an hour from now, or two hours from now.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
Could I be added as an alternate?

I'm pretty pleased with him. Reliable SP1 and reliable SP2 will hopefully let my hitters just relax and mash sweet taters.

I don't know who is adding players to teams but you should probably make sure you're doing it right when you do, Miguel Sano was on my team for some reason and I saw Mike Trout on the White Sox a while back (I fixed that when I saw it)

I was wondering when Beltran was going to get picked.

I'm pretty suprised that Pence went ahead of him.

I forgot to mention it last night, but Pence's defense is pretty highly rated in OOTP. So basically any fly ball hit in Colorado is going to have a BABIP of zero.

Tatonkatonk has roughly two hours left to pick once the clock starts this morning.

I was pretty happy he dropped to me. He doesn't really have any holes in his game and plays excellent CF defense. I don't think there are any CF left that don't have a glaring weakness.

Unless it goes over the wall anyway, which given the 0 pitchers I've taken so far seems likelier and likelier.

Wait, I guess that's not how BABIP works is it?

The amount of high quality shortstops still available in the fourth and fifth rounds has made me seriously question my selection of Tulo at sixth overall a whole lot.

He's still the best defensively AND offensively (well, maybe, depending on how HanRam works out).

I'd like to trade up in round 6, would be willing to swap spots in round 7.

(If someone wants my 6 and something for their 5 and something, I can do that too.)

There's a difference between high quality and indisputably the best player at his position though. Tulo is a good pick, and if you hadn't taken him, I was going to.
