Seriously - you took Hurley?... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oops sorry :). I nearly selected RP Bob Jones or traded my pick.

I took Jones in the end - flipped a coin over him and one of the hitters.

Basically what I did. Jones was so appealing since he's so close to ML ready at 19 y/o.

Yep, will fit nicely in my bullpen either this year or next I'd expect.

I went ahead and just made a manual best-overall selection for Oregon to keep things moving.

We're at Kentucky for the final pick of the 1st round. 6 hour draft windows through the 2nd round with the clock resetting with each pick and runs from 8am to 8pm CT.

And now we're at Texas' pick just like that.

BTW - Oregon took the hitter I was looking at.

Same here. He's 16, talented, and could be current Bears 1B PJ Foley's son/nephew.

Got ya... ;)

But yes, trading is tough in a no financials league as no one wants to get rid of their top talent unless they get other top talent coming in.

I think time comes into play too. I happened to have a bunch of it today (can't believe I am still awake) and that helped make a few deals.

True i got a computer at work (i work on contract) just as this league was getting started and it saved me so much time on my phone and keeps me involved at any time 7am to 6pm (eastern) if i didnt have that i probably would have made the trade i just did
