PrintWe don't have to start using this new board directly at Round 11...I mean, who really cares? You can feel free to start posting your picks on here as soon as you'd like, though I'd say that as soon as Round 11 starts, all our picks should be on the new board to avoid confusion.
Here's the draft order again:
- devil_fingers
- erik
- jfranco77
- hazel
- samt
- jhmoore
- Adam Peterson
- R.J. Anderson

yup I wanted him

Salaries
I’ve got Fontenot at $0.4455M (.405 * 1.1) and Butler at $0.4389M (.399 * 1.1).

11.3 Nate McLouth, OF 3.275m
He hadn’t signed yet when we started, so it’s the average of 3.8m and 2.75m
for Hazel: Sean Green, RP, Mets, .4455M
I would give jfranco a mulligan on his pick, but have no way of contacting him, other than hoping he checks the board.
I think what you did was fair
jfranco should certainly get to repick, but in the meantime, picks move on (IMO). Otherwise, we’re all responsible for verifying that each previous player was available before we draft ourselves…or have to roll back a bunch of picks, which would be messy.

11.3 (repick) Josh Beckett, P BOS 10.5mil
sorry about that!

11.4 Joey Devine P, OAK 440K
Not sure about that salary.
King of the bling come to lay down the evidence//Not George Bush, L-Millz be da president
11.6 Justin Upton, OF, 1.3M or 2.52M
What’s the verdict on his signing bonus? Either way I want him.

Juuuust a bit outside!!

Then you get him at $2.52M...
Seriously, his was a draft bonus, and we have not been counting any draft bonuses. I think he’s a $1.3M player.
by Adam Peterson on Feb 25, 2009 10:10 PM EST up reply actions
I almost took him 2 rounds ago
I just wasn’t convinced last year was sustainable.

I'm not sure either
but then I compared Peralta to the other flotsam and jetsam at SS…I almost took a pitcher, but then I found a relatively obscure $3M bonus/ vesting option that made him a worse value.
It’s getting fun now…

Oh yeah, it's getting nice and uncertain.
This is where you put a bunch of names in a hat, close your eyes, and hope for the best.

I took Peralta
I think he is going to move to third, where he should improve defensively a lot. Then again, the positional adjustment will probably cancel it out.

by vivaelpujols on Mar 3, 2009 10:18 PM EST up reply actions

i mean, swisher is B-A-D at CF… so the competition is Melky. i think they both stay up and Melky spends some time in LF when Damon needs a day off, while also taking some time from Gardner.
I still think both Damon and Swisher aren't worse than -5 runs in CF
But if Gardner can be +5 to +10 with a .360/380 line, he deserves to start there.

So does that mean that RJ was skipped too and now I'm up?
I’ll draft in a sec, I guess. No idea where everyone is, though….I know I’ve been busy as heck with midterms this week, so maybe it was in part that, at least for us college kids in the league.

Sorry for the late pick
I was on travel this weekend.
This has really slowed down near the end. I would like to decrease my own pick time limit down to one hour, after which R.J. or jhmoore can skip me. If I’m a pick or two late, no big deal at this point. It only affects me, so I don’t think we should need a league wide consensus, other than perhaps jhmoore and R.J. being aware that they could be on the clock earlier.
Do we have any other volunteers? If not, no big deal, I still volunteer.

I don't think that would heolp
I just think it’s gone on so long that people (like myself) who have mostly been quite active ran in to the inevitability of real life commitments. I think we just have to keep up and solider through. Only 5.5 more rounds…

Yeah, that's what's happened with me too
But I think the hour limit is a cool idea…if people know they’re not going to be around much and don’t mind being skipped, that could help.
The way I see it, though, we’ve just got one week of this draft left…less if we can move along quickly. So we’re almost there….

5 years/$10M (2007-11), plus 2012 & 2013 club options
signed Major League contract with Cubs 1/07, giving up football
$2M signing bonus
no-trade clause
total value may reach $16.5M with exercise of options
must return bonus & much of remaining $10M if he returns to football
Based on this, it would appear that under the rules of this league you’d go with a $2M salary (10/5) plus $400K for the signing bonus (2/5) for a total of $2.4M

Found this on Correia
http://www3.signonsandiego.com/weblogs/padres/2008/dec/24/padres-correia-reach-terms/?padres
The Padres and pitcher Kevin Correia have reached terms on a minor league contract, with both sides expecting that Correia will compete for a starting job in spring training. The $750,000 salary is contingent on Correia winning a spot on the 25-man roster.

25.03 Phil Hughes, P NYY $447,700
not convinced I have 1000 SP innings and Joba could always end up back in the ’pen.
Excellent pick
I’m not publishing the piece on the AL East or two from another week or two, but for my series at Driveline on the rotatoins, my spreadsheet averaging Zips/CHONE/PCEOTA has Hughes with 4.00 FIP and as a .545 pitcher (although that’s with PythagenPat, and I think FGs uses trad. Pythag) pitcher, for about 1 WAr in 70 innings. Even if that’s all he gets, he’ll more than pay off for you.
Bringing you more-or-less replacement level analysis and commentary to Driveline Mechanics and elsewhere since sometime in 2008.
by Matt Klaassen on Mar 16, 2009 11:37 AM EDT up reply actions
it's a gamble
I’ve got this for my rotation right now:
Lincecum 200ip
Joba 140ip
Liriano 166ip
Beckett 180ip
A Reyes 150ip
Braden 150ip
That was pretty much my strategy, to get guys who would give me good WAR/IP and might be a bit undervalued due to their injury potential. I figured that was better than getting five 200ip guys and punting the 6th spot. There are a lot of scenarios where I could easily fall short of the projected 986ip listed above.
If Hughes is getting serious rotation time it’s likely because he’s doing well, in which case I don’t mind if I actually go over 1,000 and get prorated down.
The only problem is that I only have 335 projected bullpen innings from my top 5. So I will probably fall short there, but there’s always a slim chance that Joba/Reyes/Braden end up doing some work out of the bullpen. Or even Hughes for that matter.
I think I can go now.
I doubt anyone is going to miss the player and I don’t know if I’ll be around for my allotted time:
25.8 Sam Demel RP OAK .400M
25.5 Roy Corcoran Mariners RP 440K

25.9 Sergio Pedroza UTL TB $.400
I was close to my AB limit, I think, so no sense risking it.
