2016 Draft Thread

Since you have 4 or so of them I guess you'd know

Yeah they flopped here too

Garlez was poor in the playoffs (he hit .192) and Fowler only hit .227. But I have to be honest, Ohio's pitching really shackled our hitters when it mattered.

You just work them too hard in the playoffs thats why you are 0-4 years

Please don't remind me, I'm seeing Geboyan's ratings drop as well as a couple of our starters and am wondering how long this group will stay as productive and competitive as they currently are.

But I WILL get Sepulveda and Garlez at least one championship before their careers are up, it would be a travesty if they didn't win at least one.

Texas must be working or asleep or something...

sorry!! Tony Hernandez is similar to Chad Tucker (at least in potential)

Interesting pick Troy, with so much talent still around in the draft I bet we'll all be hoping those first round picks don't bomb, of which I'm sure at least half will.

The toughest thing in this draft will be to avoid those bombs. For example, I dont understand why Phil Baker has arrived to me (13th pick). He is an SP with 8/8/8, durable (which in this league seems the most important thing to me  ), he has 4 pitches and 2 of them with a potential 9

Do I miss something bad about him??

No you did not miss anything bad - he was #3 on my list, so I'm glad you took him so I can get my #1!!

Oh and Ontario is on the clock and we're nearly done with round 1!

Ontario is definitely up, they have 3 of the next 4 picks, and NY is on a list pick in between those picks.

I've sent him a message letting him know!

Looks like I'm up next after a few list picks. If anyone is interested in trading for this pick please PM me with an offer in mind through the boards. Thanks!

Message is with you steve

I was all set to take Baker and I do need pitching but I dunno something rubbed me wrong with him. Hope I am right.

It shows NY as up with 'list pick', so either it is stuck or he has no more players on his list.

I came VERY close to taking him, but in the end, I went with an offensive player because 4/5 of my rotation is set for the next 5-10 years while I have 2 or 3 aging offensive players.

Yeah he's out of players on his list. I've emailed him last night to give him plenty of time to make a pick before his window runs out at 2pm CT.

Made 2nd round pick, but getting that "error, you do not manage team 4 and are not logged in as a commissioner" message so just wanted to be sure it went through.

[Troyaof]

I got that error too. Cleared Cache/Cookies/History and still having issues.
