If either Beckham or Dunn was caught stealing, the other runner advances by fielders choice.
No stolen base.

Sounds like someone practicing for a gig as an official scorer.

Atleast you were smart enough to draft Brandon Allen in R30...

Bump

I am shocked Utley is on the list.

Count me on the Hosmer bandwagon. At 19 overall, I had the Teixeira/Hosmer decision. Didn't really know how I'd react until on the clock. At heh end of the day, actually the 1:15, I pulled the trigger on Hosmer. Can't wait to see how it pans out. that took some balls at 15. WOW. nicely done It was ...

Greg,

Thanks for your dream, your passion, and your commitment! We are all better for it!

Correct on both fellas. In addition if you draft a player in the minors then cut him week 1. He remains in your player pool and can be picked up prior to him returning to the bigs. If he is good enough to be drafted, then he is good enough to remain in the player pool.

If that is a way to get the live draft back to the First weekend of March Madness, I am all for it. Easter drafts will work for some, not most. Bagging out on Easter won't sit well at home. I am all for earlier drafts, might make that FAAB 1 very exciting!!!

Hoosier,

If the interest is there, I am sure Greg will run another Fast/Slow Draft. Keep beating the drum, and if there is a workable time slot for 15 people, I'm sure Greg will run it.

Too bad we couldn't get this rolling tonight?!?! Looking forward to it.

An email gets sent after every pick.

Shawn,

Typically in a 15-team draft, you have to "cheat" some area. in the past you have "cheated" on closers. What area do you foresee yourself 'cheating" on considering this year's inventory of players?

Do you think Ichiro could produce a 1987 Wade Boggs like year from the 3-hole?

Do you think Mat Gamel succeeds? Will he begin the year in a platoon, with a Corey Hart getting ABs at 1st vs lefties, thus getting another OF in the lineup.

Greg/Tom, I was wondering is there any way to copy and paste between draft teams? i.e. I do my own rankings so I spend some time on the draft prep page moving guys all around to match my big board. Is there any way to copy that for a different team like another slow draft team or an online main team...

Maybe there is a huge Cuban population in San Jose?

Greg,

Any chance of a Rick Wilton chat?

Today is the day, Ludwick is a Red!

Ken Rosenthal reported the Ludwick signing, but I just checked my STATS PASS Depth Charts and I don't see Ludwick as a Red yet. So I am not sure it is official.

3.4 Timmy Lincecum

Bautista/Hamilton/Lincecum

2.9 Matt Holliday

Greg, When do you start the thread, "Only XXX spots left"? I love that thread, we are at 133 based on the signup page now and I am trying to remember when I started seeing that thread. Was it after the magical number of 195 ('04 entrants) or is it with less than 100 left. I can't remember, but I lov...

Ok, I am going to play along, Dan. I have two favorite characters. One on a show that is gone and one that is still kicking. I'd actually like to have both these guys on Fantasy Baseball managerial staff. 1. CHARLIE EPPS - I loved this show and loved that everything could be broken down into numbers...

I am very curious to hear how experts feel that Miami's new stadium will play. I have heard it is more of a pitcher's park and if anything left-handed hitters will fare better than right-handed hitters. Grabbing him in R1 is very aggressive, with the more consistent bats there at that time. Not sure...
