Did I miss something? Is Citi Field definitely out next year or are we just considering other options? I think CitiField is a great venue, but obviously if it isn't possible, I understand.... If it is still up for debate, you know my vote.

I will take the last spot

You have GOT to be kidding me

Ok, so it was Xavier Paul, Tony Gwynn Jr, and Jamey Carroll.... He was throwing 97-98 MPH and looked awesome tonight, striking out the side.

Originally posted by Less than Dave: I feel like I missed the boat here... what's with everyone bidding ridiculous amounts of money on this guy (and they're respectable players too, not newbies overbidding)?

how many teams actually drafted him? Not to brag, but I drafted Britton in the 27th round of the main.... On that note, I paid $300 plus on Sean Burnett last week.... so it all evens out.

Originally posted by kgrady: Crazy high prices on Sean Burnett, IMHO. I still see Drew Storen getting the bulk of the saves by the time all is said and done. And then there's still Tyler Clippard, who is a better pitcher than Burnett. I watched Tyler Clippard pitch a lot last year and I have never s...

Originally posted by mattjb: madness. burnett only got the close cos 3 lefties were due up. storen will get most of the opportunities.

Available in a few leagues.... What did he go for in yours? - $512 in my league- $366 runner up...

quick question - Do we get a higher insurance payout for the $1,300 auction?

I was also in the $1,300 auction at Citi Field and I am shocked to hear the same guy was late for 2 other events. Not acceptable. I don't care how green his money is. Team 1 lost out on two separate bids due to this guy. He was supposedly "lost" on the way to the stadium. The guys did a GREAT job, c...

Originally posted by bjoak: I think it is tough to throw your second round pick out the window and not have any offense prior to a round 3 guy. I agree that you criticizing a team is different than criticizing a draft, but getting Pujols/Beltre/Stanton in the first five picks will leave you with eno...

GREAT job by Tom and the guys, coordinating the pre draft Citi Field tour. I brought my son and he absolutely loved going in the Mets dugout and clubhouse, especially seeing David Wright's locker. Excellent tour, great experience, and a once in a lifetime experience for an 8 year old. The one downfa...

Originally posted by ALL-IN JD: Thank you but unfortunately being a favorite doesnt always translate into winning! :) I have always found saves to be available on the wire, hopefully this year is no exception! :) Good luck to you too!

Originally posted by ScottieBaseball: Slim, didn't mean to bypass you. I think Belt is a very interesting pick. Will he get the playing time this year?
