For anyone looking to trade up, I have pick #4 and I'm willing to listen to offers. EDIT: With Miggy on the board though, it's not going to be cheap. TheFlyingLlama fucked around with this message at 23:56 on May 10, 2014 |

Just a reminder that I'm not really going to enforce the timer tomorrow because it is mother's day and I expect many of us will be busy for a healthy portion of the day.

I have pick #20 and am willing to trade back if anyone wants to move into the first round. it would probably take a 2nd and 3rd or a 2nd, 4th, and 6th

Holy poo poo I thought we were starting in the morning! Sorry dudes. Assuming I haven't already autodrafted him, The Pittsburgh Pirates are proud to welcome 1B/3B MIGUEL CABRERA into the franchise.

You can set OOTP GMs to ignore potential for short-term quality, right? If so, and if you really plan to sim only one season, doing that would give the "best" picks.

I don't think I can, no. If the game tries to pick a prospect that obviously won't be ready to contribute I'll just make what I think is the closest to BPA I suppose. I had considered doing that on this one but getting autopicked SHOULD be a penalty, imo, and Stanton is still Real Good

As the "victim" that got stuck with Stanton due entirely to my own ignorance, im pretty good with it. I 100% expected the Pirates' franchise player to be Nick Punto once I realized I'd missed it. I'm equal parts proud and disappointed with you guys.

Feel like Max Scherzer is the first big reach. Also I would've first-picked Tulo, so good job on that IcePhoenix.

Mornacale posted:Feel like Max Scherzer is the first big reach. Thanks  I was debating between him and a couple other guys (one of whom hasn't been drafted yet) but his defense at a premium position helped put him over.also, just a reminder for THE RED MENACE (and everyone else, really) that the clock starts up again tomorrow at 10am eastern. Since it's a work day though that means that once you get skipped you don't get auto-drafted until after I get home!

I can't believe Posey lasted as long as he did. I guess some people have a thing against catchers since they don't play "every day".

Agreed. There's a couple more players I'm surprised haven't been drafted yet, but I also didn't expect this SP run so early. I was kind of hoping I would be able to get a couple aces with my second and third picks, but now I might not even get one.

I did forget to put that in the OP though so I will do that now. The Merry Marauder posted:Depending on who I get at first, Mssr. Buster may well end up playing somewhere every day. I think you took Posey way too high if you're not going to play him at catcher.

I actually had Stanton at #3 since I've played OOTP enough times to know that he seems to sim really really well, but yeah Trout and Miggy 1/2 for sure.

In fantasy I could see a Miggy > Trout argument, but in something like this, where speed is a bigger factor than in fantasy, and where defense actually IS a factor, to me Trout is the obvious choice.

My top 2 position players were Trout (obviously) and Cano (positional scarcity). Initially I thought Sale would be my pick but I was surprised Felix dropped to 15.
