I liked how X-men is an admission to the fact that everything done in the 3rd X-men movie was a mistake.

Anyways, I'm really hoping I get my picks soon. I have good people in mind (I think).

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



So. Any thoughts on LaRoche? I figured he'd be good if he just stayed healthy!

And Wood...I dunno PECOTA projections, but he's been a decent SP, kinda Quintana-like.

Seattle you're up again.

Looking over pitchers remaining, I liked Ivan Nova on strength of his name alone. He sounds like the cosmonaut villain for Rocky 12: Zero-Gstruction. Or something like that.

Houston is having the most interesting draft so far, imo. I really hate their Mauer pick, I really love Norris and Peralta, and their pitching could be either horrific or great value.

I just noticed the Mets' outfield. I would love to see Kemp and Jones trying to cover the Citi Field outfield every night (Mets fans would not).

E: It looks like IcePhoenix is cleaning up so far. That's a really good team (other than D'Arnaud who has upside).

Thanks! Your team is good too, though I'm a bit worried about how your offense will turn out. I'm not a fan of Napoli. Having two aces is pretty cool though.

e: CFBalla started the day with a fresh clock, for anyone wanting to keep track during the day. I'd really like us to finish round nine today!

I drafted Braun, not Kemp. But yeah I guess your point stands, but if my plan goes right, Jones won't be playing center. Either way, I'm just trying to build the best lineup and rotation on paper that I can, so whatever.


Als,o I seriously can't believe some of you haven't drafted pitchers yet. I mean I know you play in Yankee Stadium or whatever, but jeez.
