Batty enters the FP chase !!! ( Forum Posts )

in dynasty Reports , Batty now sits 6th

Time Warp - 5,020* ( suspected of juicing..LOL )
Life of Patrick O'Farrell - 1,174
Plague - 1,149

I was hoping you'd do that He's 39 and still sticking around. Go Fred!

Thanks for reminding me...

[jeheinz72]

My kingdom for a Catcher or a decent SP. Seriously, all of my minors can go except Kuenn. I can also move OF Johnny Mokan who's hitting well and needs a chance. PM me here if interested. Looking for SP's who can post a 4.00-4.50 ERA.

[cec2]

I know we're on a week hiatus, but it didn't seem right to allow this to wallow on the 2nd page.

Same for the Boston Braves, doesn't seem to matter who or where we draft them at best they have one decent year (see Joe Blong, ROY and hasn't done **** since). I too will settle for SP's who can come CLOSE to a 4.50 ERA and all my minors guys can go as well as anyone 32+ yrs of age)

and when you are used to a season a week, a week off (and who the hell gave Joe permission to take vacation!!!!) seems like a year, oh wait it is!!!!

Cincinnati - 1 pennant, 0 WS wins

Whats with Cincy never having WS luck in any league?

[legendsport]

This year's draft was heavy on hitting (see: Chance, Frank - he of the across the board eights in talent) and excruciatingly light on pitching. Nevertheless, three teams went with the mound-types in round one (including the Yankees with their #1 overall choice).

In fact, pitching was so thin that eight of the LAST nine picks were all pitchers - because nothing else was left. Only C Hugh Poland, this year's Mr. Irrelevant, spoiled the tend.

[Nuk]

Another draft that was big on hitting and low on pitching (which really sucks when you only have 9 pitchers total in your organization, and are having to consider using a guy with 2-3-3 ratings as your set-up guy...). That being said - Albert Pujols was the consensus number one -and went to the Yankees - There was then a series of decent players. The White Sox may have got a steal with Granny Hamner at 13. Forturnately the AI finally recognized the Cubs dilemma and picked some pitchers in rounds 3 and 4.

As was true last year 9 of the last 10 players picked were pitchers. Oh, and Bernie Williams went to the Yankees - because I think there's a rule that forces that.

For the Cubs - every draft pick is up with the big club this year. Which goes to say more about our depth than anything.

And Joe will get back to doing these next week - I'm sure......

Round 1:

[metsgeek]

I have no clue how I'm still in 1st place. Unlike previous years, this team is built on hitting. Pitching is ancient and dreadful, but not as dreadful as everyone else's.....
