Official 2010 MLB season/fantasy baseball thread

I was at my computer. Sure I was asleep but my computer was still close by. If someone hadn’t set the draft time so late then maybe I would have picked more guys.

Baseball leagues always flame out, it’s how baseball works.

We’ll always have the basketball league. We’ll always have our basketball fun.

was hoping you were dead matrix, guess we’re not that lucky

That’s a pretty mean thing to say. Your mother must be very sad.

Knew that was gonna happen if I couldn’t get on the draft at work, first two picks back to back 1st baseman lmao. Work computer so saltbodied.

Anyway I’ll look into some of these players (who the fuck is Pablo Sandoval?) and see if I can make any trades. I lucked out and didn’t get any Sawks players (wee!) but I have no Yankees players either. =(

my third baseman

No he’s on my team, like I said I gotta look over the numbers, but I might be looking to trade. I’ll probably not trade Ryan Howard unless I get big time value in return, but Miguel Cabrera (2nd pick overall fuck you autodraft/Keybank internet filters!) might be tradeable for positional needs. I’ll get back to you guys on that.

David Wright and Mark Reynolds both up for trade. TRADEZZZZ.

imo.

oh you’re talking about yahoo league, real men in ESPN league

wat do you want for mark reynolds

I came in late, Yahoo league was the only one with open spots afaik. ESPN league would have actually let me draft, I know for a fact that system works on my work comp. Lothar, I might be interested in Wright if you’re in the Yahoo league, otherwise disregard this lol.

EDIT: nevermind anyway I guess this Sandoval guy is pretty good or something, lol. Might hold onto Cabrera until I assess further positional needs.

DOUBLE EDIT: autodraft didn’t give me a pitcher until the 8th goddamn round lmao scooooooooop.

EDT = Eastern Daylight Time.

EDT is during Daylight Savings. EST is not during Daylight Savings. It makes a difference because some places don’t observe Daylight Savings time.

We real men are talking about ESPN league. Please keep your Yahoo league sequestered somewhere else.

EDIT: Sigley, I offered you my man.

imo.

I thought you were going to take Hanley Ramirez. Not that I’m complaining or nothing like that.

We thought you died.

EDIT: Sigley, offered you another trade. TRADEZZZ.

imo.

only a few more days till i get to be dissapointed by the cubs another year. when cubs fans say next year or this is the year what they really mean is that this year is going to be worse then the last.

the only bright spot is that kid hitting 440 something who almost hit for the cycle in a spring training game last week.

What we talking about for David Wright?

Kinda early to be trading guys isn’t it? Don’t you want to see how the perform first? Unless you’re just trying to get over on someone then I guess the timeline doesn’t matter for a whole lot.

So before this draft I made a set of rules, since this SRK league is not one I intend to win. My team must consist of current Yankees, former Yankees, possible future Yankees, (Guys I believe has a serious chance to be in pinstripes within the next 10 years) guys coming off injuries, asians, and some Mets.

Strangely enough, I didn’t get ANY of the asians I was looking at. In fact, my team is Asian-free. Strange, when I pre-drafted so many of them.

Anyway, drafting from the 8th position in a 12-man SRK league:

  1.  (8)  	Mark Teixeira  	1B
    
  2. (17) David Wright 3B
  3. (32) Derek Jeter SS
  4. (41) Robinson Can 2B
  5. (56) Bobby Abreu OF
  6. (65) Joakim Soria RP
  7. (80) Josh Johnson SP
  8. (89) Matt Wieters C
  9. (104) Francisco Rodrguez RP
  10. (113) 	Ral Ibaez 	OF
    
  11. (128) 	Lance Berkman 	1B
    
  12. (137) 	Brian Fuentes 	RP
    
  13. (152) 	Johnny Damon 	OF
    
  14. (161) 	A.J. Burnett 	SP
    
  15. (176)  	Kevin Slowey  	SP
    
  16. (185) 	Randy Wolf 	SP
    
  17. (200) 	Randy Wells 	SP
    
  18. (209) 	Joba Chamberlain 	SP
    

A couple of places where I broke the rules but overall pretty much stuck to them. A royal “FUCK YOU!” To the guy who drafted Mariano Rivera a lot higher than I expected him to go, right as my pick was coming up…

All in all It was an interesting draft with fun conversation. It should be a fun season!

Sidenote: Lincecum went 4th in our draft! That’s the highest I’ve ever seen a pitcher go in the last 3 years!

^_-;

I don’t even know the dudes they draft for me. OH NOEZ!

People should probably make reference to which league they are talking about when making posts about their fantasy team.

ESPN Fun League or Yahoo No-Fun League.

imo.
