[Caesar Augustus]

Wait what?! Smoka never said anything about only being able to draft players from the AL or NL according to what division your team is in. Besides even if we tried to do that you know someones going to fuck it up or someones autopick who doesn't show will mess it up.

I kinda like the idea, just don't think it'd work.

Don't listen to Chrit the Auto pick thng has been handled Yahoo gave this option this year and the CPU will act accordingly

[Moniker]

Nah, nice try my man. Yahoo ain't messing with making autopicks correlate to a division.

*closes eyes*

not a bad draft tbh....I bolded where I think your mistakes were....sure you can take pitchers later like Chrit does...but getting a couple of aces doesn't bother me....I like Halladay alot this year...and Carpenter not as much but I don't expect him to do horrible either...I sort of like Roberts, but the fact you drafted Utley makes getting Roberts 3 rounds later seem retarded imo, you could've reached for a 1B, SS, or 3B with that pick...specifically an SS seeing as you did complete ass with that position in this draft...don't like Chone that much this year because he's in Seattle so I doubt he'll have as good as numbers as he had last year...but the combination of Ichiro and Chone makes for an interesting baserunning tandem...Asdrubal is your only SS...and while he's not bad I still think you got him early...and even then when you don't end up owning an SS named Rollins, Reyes, or Ramirez...it's always good to get a backup SS in case the one you get fails..Cuddyer is ok....but I just don't like him....don't care for Olivo at all...nor Ankiel or Happ

[SmokaJoka]

nah you gotta diversify your bonds nigga.

This was my last mock. And it was bangarang!

1. Mark Teixeira (NYY - 1B)
2. Miguel Cabrera (Det - 1B)

12. Russell Martin (LAD - C)
13. Carlos Zambrano (ChC - SP)
14. Vladimir Guerrero (Tex - Util)
15. Erik Bedard (Sea - SP)
16. Marco Scutaro (Bos - SS)
17. Bronson Arroyo (Cin - SP)
18. Miguel Tejada (Bal - SS)
19. Jermaine Dye (CWS - OF)
20. Jarrod Washburn (Det - SP)
21. Skip Schumaker (StL - 2B,OF)
22. Justin Masterson (Cle - SP,RP)
23. Brad Lidge (Phi - RP)

now don't get me wrong...Miguel Cabrera is off the chain....but 3 1B eligible players with the first 3 picks?? nah...you got Tex....then you got Youkilis to cover 3rd....you should've reached for an SS, or got an ace SP....but that's imo...I don't like Lind...even if he is good...Lind is unproven imo...and will need to repeat last year to warrant such a high pick in the draft....hate Bourn...he's good for basestealing and runs but that's it...no interest in him personally....love Bedard if he's healthy....but he won't be...you already know my feelings on Scutaro...glad you got a backup for him...Tejada could be a steal...Arroyo is garbage imo....Dye is considering retirement last I checked...Washburn is overhyped...Masterson is dookie


you're doing really bad with late round pitchers imo....you should reach more for pitchers that have been successful for a few years and just had a bad or just an ok year last year (i.e. Danks, Dice-K, Ervin Santana, Hudson)

i had no clue i drafted all OF's for my bench until now !!

really bad draft imo....Cano is such an inconsistent player you never know what you'll get out of him...if you like him...draft him...I personally don't....you reached too early for Pena & Span...neither are bad...but you could've held off for a couple rounds and still gotten them...I don't like Napoli at all....he's still splitting time at catcher, even if he is a powerhouse if he doesn't improve his defense at the plate...the coaches won't give a shit what he does with a bat...way too early for Dye....not too early if he plays this season...don't like Soriano...don't even know if he'll be the closer for TB this year or not...Burnett and Buehrle are both ok...but you got them too early...don't like Howell either...and that opinion can be referred to as the same opinion I hold for Soriano...it also shows the fact that no one knows who the hell TB's closer will be yet...hate Pierre...overhyped...hate Scutaro....he won't be nearly as productive as he was last year imo....Pedro and Delgado are both trying to find a job...Ross is dookie...Cust is a strikeout master...

[Chrit.]

way to go through every draft but mind sucka!

[SmokaJoka]

yours is good...nothing else to say about it...

[Chrit.]

this is true

[Rapstyles]

word smoke. i guess since i wasnt just going in the order of the top players like everyone else that drafts... pick #5 after 4. even though they were good players. i did pick span though cause he was good last year and i knew his name. i made a mistake with picking my SS late, i couldve gotten Jeter if i really wanted, but i waited and was scrambling for one that round. Webb stats suprised me cuz i guess he got injured last year? i did not know and i knew hes always been a good starter so i picked him up. ima do another one later and post it.

[Caesar Augustus]

we can do one in about an hour if you want, maybe even a few others will jump in it.

[Rapstyles]

ight

[Moniker]

let me know, i might get down

[Moniker]

now don't get me wrong...Miguel Cabrera is off the chain....but 3 1B eligible players with the first 3 picks?? nah...you got Tex....then you got Youkilis to cover 3rd....you should've reached for an SS, or got an ace SP....but that's imo...I don't like Lind...even if he is good...Lind is unproven imo...and will need to repeat last year to warrant such a high pick in the draft....hate Bourn...he's good for basestealing and runs but that's it...no interest in him personally....love Bedard if he's healthy....but he won't be...you already know my feelings on Scutaro...glad you got a backup for him...Tejada could be a steal...Arroyo is garbage imo....Dye is considering retirement last I checked...Washburn is overhyped...Masterson is dookie

Dude, I had to do it. Tex was a first pick, then Cabrera was still on the board at like pick 14-16 so I had to take him. But word, I probably should of went with someone else other than Youk as 3rd pick. Alot of my mocks have been weird because people are just messing around. Lind is iffy for sure. The whole of Toronto's offense is pretty iffy IMO, especially against the pitching staffs of NY and BOS that they face regularly. I only got bourne for SB and Runs to balance out my big bats. Thats all anyone should expect out of him anyway. Tejada is getting up there in age though, so it's still risky. But I liken him to a possibly aubrey huff of 08. Arroyo had under a 4.00ERA last season?! Didn't know Dye was looking to retire.

I have no idea what you have against Masterson. The guy is a future ace if he keeps with it. Saw plenty of him with Boston. He's got nasty stuff. Run support will probably suck for him though, but thats about it.
