Tell me about it Man! Whew Had me worried!!

[dust bunnies]

Kalamazoo Kumquats select George Mullin.

[rmadachik]

The Cleveland Spiders select
Joe Tinker

we opt for the option of solidifying our SS needs for at least the next 7 years rather than taking a pitcher that we have rated the highest remaining player.

[Sockeye]

We considered Tinker with the 1st pick. Just couldn't pass up a pitcher the quality of Joss. 6 of the next 7 highest remaining players on our board are position players so hopefully one of them will fall to us at #13

[scubadan]

Is there a 1902 DMB file yet?

Yeah - I think Joss was easily the best player in the draft. Tinkers value is purely positional cuz his bat really is not much to talk about. But finding a no brainer full time starter at short with a great glove is huge at this point.

I have it - but I need to adjust base running ratings and pitcher durability ratings . . . i will submit the file without the changes today and the updated version before the draft officially starts

[Erik Bedard]

My list is very pitcher-heavy at the top (six of the top eight). Maybe I'm slightly overweighting my own needs.

btw, Tinker wasn't one of the two position players in that top eight. probably because I value regular starters who are usually good but rarely great lower than it seems anyone else does.

I agree with your assesment on Pitching in this draft. I had several guys offensively rated better than Tinker, and quite a few pitchers too. Team need raised him up on my draft list a lot.

[jaybird_1981]

I would like to see the 1902 file before I pick also the thread title should be 1902 rookie draft.

I believe Rich emailed the 1902 file to everyone today.

I see it now it went to my spam folder for some reason. I will pick in a minute.

SP- Bob Ewing

[BigRon]

Remind me again- for how many years do we control rookies?

[scubadan]

I think it's 7 years.

[rmadachik]

7 years - then he beomes a restricted free agent as long as he remains on the team that drafted him. as an RFA you have the right to match any offer made to him.

Waitaminute - this isn't a snake draft?!?!?!

[rmadachik]

Waitaminute - this isn't a snake draft?!?!?!

The original draft was a snake draft in order to create a more even playing field. Subsequent drafts are based entirely on how a team performs and are conducted as they are in real life.

[rmadachik]

Remember - the Draft timer will start on Friday at 9AM eastern time. 8 hours for the first round, 6 hours for rounds 2 thru 4

[rmadachik]

Asylum is on the clock starting at 9:00PM EST

[leecemark]

Rich. now that all the rosters have been updated can we get an updated 1902 file. This draft is thin enough that by the 24th pick I'm probably looking more for short term help. Also, if you have 1903 or any further seasons with updated defense I'd love to have those. Thanks.

[rmadachik]

I will have the file early this afternoon - still finishing the ratings on baserunning and pitcher durabilities.
