peter_hood47: :-&
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: yep
mandnwong: haha
mandnwong: i will unlock everyone's add
peter_hood47: how much time for each pick
mandnwong: ~3min
peter_hood47: I'm trying to keep track of who is gone
peter_hood47: sounds ok
mandnwong: it'll probably end up being between 3-4min
hermrulez: i mite have trouble gettin on yahoo but i did make a list of about 60 players so i mite not e able to pick my players up till tom
peter_hood47: i'll try not to hold things up
mandnwong: u can't get on yahoo?
mandnwong: why's that?
hermrulez: my internet is messin up lik i can get on but it freezes a lot and stuff
mandnwong: u have no problems w/ YIM, right?
hermrulez: i guess i can see what you all are typing and stuff
mandnwong: PM me your list of 60 just in case
hermrulez: well i didnt rank em
mandnwong: if u can't do the adds on yahoo, then just type them in here
mandnwong: and i'll add them for u
hermrulez: ok
mandnwong: i have to do it for some missing GMs anyway
hermrulez: i can do it tom
mandnwong: well, it's easier for everyone if they get added live
peter_hood47: well it makes it easier for the rest of us if those names are not listed
hermrulez: i just worried that if im on that and tis it will all freeze
mandnwong: otherwise, it's hard for everyone else to know who's still available late in the draft
mandnwong: PM me the list
mandnwong: i won't open it unless u have problems
hermrulez: o ill be fine
mandnwong: if u can't do the add on yahoo, then type in the player name here

mandnwong: is glavine ok to take for walruses?

peter_hood47: yup
ccjohnson23: yeah
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Every year Glavine gets ignored in drafts and every year the old man gets it done
mandnwong: demons
mandnwong: i guess colon's ok to take then
hermrulez: yea he could b ready by opening day
peter_hood47: well, i;m not sure about him
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Isn't tubby injured still
mandnwong: he's looking reasonably positive right now
mandnwong: but won't be ready for openin gday
peter_hood47: i'd leave him, personally
mandnwong: maybe may
mandnwong: i'm ok w/ leaving him
mandnwong: since yahoo doesn't consider his injury
mandnwong: alright, i'll leave him for last 2 rounds
mandnwong: what about wood?
mandnwong: he's probably ok, no?
hermrulez: kerry or jake
mandnwong: kerry
peter_hood47: living dangerously
mandnwong: he might eventually become closer
ccjohnson23: from what i hear, he may not even make the roster
mandnwong: better than colon, imho
peter_hood47: cows may fly
mandnwong: haha
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: I wouldn't sweat it too much, If they aint here and didn't leave you a list.
peter_hood47: true enough, that
mandnwong: alright, i'll take wood for him
hermrulez: give em biggio
mandnwong: lol
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Colon would be better than wood
mandnwong: u think?
hermrulez: id take colon over wood
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: I do
mandnwong: i'd prefer wood myself partly becuase u need RPs
peter_hood47: i'd go with wood
hermrulez: wood if he makes the mlb club wont pick bak 2 bak days for awhile
ccjohnson23: who's pick?
mandnwong: my turn
ccjohnson23: gotcha
mandnwong: todd coffey
mandnwong: chad next
ccjohnson23: mike gonzalez
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Bastard!
peter_hood47: damn
ccjohnson23: i guess that's a good sign
peter_hood47: feel good
mandnwong: haha
mandnwong: is edmonds acceptable?
hermrulez: yes
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: I guess
peter_hood47: you picking every cripple on the list?
mandnwong: lol
mandnwong: well, it's o-rank
mandnwong: but if we think he's a dud, i'll save for later
hermrulez: no he fine
peter_hood47: who knows with him now
mandnwong: haha
mandnwong: i think maybe we should exclude big wood from these decisions
hermrulez: hater
hermrulez: whos next?
peter_hood47: turtles?
mandnwong: chavez
mandnwong: i'm figuring out who to take for him
hermrulez: give em biggio
mandnwong: it's edmonds, polanco, wilkerson
mandnwong: anymore thoughts?
hermrulez: the thats order they should go 2 the ppl that arnt here
hermrulez: then**
mandnwong: well, we don't want to stick them w/ absolutely terrible picks
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: I have no idea about their injuries or not
mandnwong: since that would just hurt the league overall
mandnwong: polanco's bad for this league
peter_hood47: well i would tend to go with wilkerson 1st
hermrulez: well them not elavin a list and not showin hurts the league as well
mandnwong: yes, but at least if we need to replace owners, it'll be easier to do
mandnwong: everyone ok w/ me taking wilkerson?
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: He doesn't have a catcher yet
hermrulez: so ur sayin give em young promising spects to make them/ new owners happy?
mandnwong: lolo
mandnwong: lol
mandnwong: alright, how 'bout giving him molina then?
haysguru2: sounds good
mandnwong: he's the top o-rank catcher
hermrulez: i say fo by o rank strickly
peter_hood47: iannetta is free i think
mandnwong: anyone else?
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Either the top catcher or SP
hermrulez: the top overal player no pickin their team for them
mandnwong: yes, he's free also, but i'm not sure we should make that kind of judgment call w/ these kinds of picks
haysguru2: Heck, I left early this morning to drive 10 hours to be here for the draft as I am new owner and wanted to make my own picks.
peter_hood47: just pick someone Man, and get this going
mandnwong: alright, molina then
hermrulez: i say biggio is more than fair
mandnwong: gas can
hermrulez: if they cant show then no since pickin them a good team
mandnwong: big wood, if u're not gonna be helpful, then i will have to ignore your suggestions completely
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Pat Neshek
mandnwong: well, i don't want to make judgement calls, but i don't think it makes sense to give them duds either
hermrulez: im just saying its like you running everyone team and thats not fair 2 you
mandnwong: hounds
ccjohnson23: not fair to us either, for that matter
peter_hood47: Justin Duchscherer
mandnwong: molina's not that great anyway
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: If this were a flat out autodraft, they would get the highest rank player by position of need, not just the overall highest ranked,
mandnwong: true that
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: So it makes sense to at least make sure they don't end up with 5 ss
mandnwong: hehheh
hermrulez: ive been in an auto draft where a team had jeter young tejada and it was auto picked
mandnwong: that's nice
mandnwong: who's gonna donate jeter, young and tejada to me?
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: But when the draft is over they at least have a player for each position
haysguru2: who's up?
peter_hood47: creative
mandnwong: he still needs a RF, should i give him jenkins then?
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: sure
ccjohnson23: sounds good.....
daveyjohnsonxxx: Moises Alou may make more sense since he will at least have a job.
mandnwong: u think?
peter_hood47: probably right
mandnwong: alright, if the birds say so, i can at least blame him
mandnwong: guns
hermrulez: he leave?
mandnwong: yes, he asked me to fill holes for him
hermrulez: k
mandnwong: he gets aurilia
mandnwong: i skipped vizquel for him
mandnwong: too old
mandnwong: wood's turn
hermrulez: luke hochevar kc sp
mandnwong: hmmm... are u an expansion team too?
hermrulez: huh?

peter_hood47: how much time for each pick
mandnwong: ~3min
peter_hood47: I'm trying to keep track of who is gone
peter_hood47: sounds ok
mandnwong: it'll probably end up being between 3-4min
hermrulez: i mite have trouble gettin on yahoo but i did make a list of about 60 players so i mite not e able to pick my players up till tom
peter_hood47: i'll try not to hold things up
mandnwong: u can't get on yahoo?
mandnwong: why's that?
hermrulez: my internet is messin up lik i can get on but it freezes a lot and stuff
mandnwong: u have no problems w/ YIM, right?
hermrulez: i guess i can see what you all are typing and stuff
mandnwong: PM me your list of 60 just in case
hermrulez: well i didnt rank em
mandnwong: if u can't do the adds on yahoo, then just type them in here
mandnwong: and i'll add them for u
hermrulez: ok
mandnwong: i have to do it for some missing GMs anyway
hermrulez: i can do it tom
mandnwong: well, it's easier for everyone if they get added live

mandnwong: naps got duffy
mandnwong: is glavine ok to take for walruses?
hermrulez: sure
peter_hood47: yup
ccjohnson23: yeah
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Every year Glavine gets ignored in drafts and every year the old man gets it done
mandnwong: demons
mandnwong: i guess colon's ok to take then
hermrulez: yea he could b ready by opening day
peter_hood47: well, i;m not sure about him
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Isn't tubby injured still
mandnwong: he's looking reasonably positive right now
mandnwong: but won't be ready for openin gday
peter_hood47: i'd leave him, personally
mandnwong: maybe may
mandnwong: i'm ok w/ leaving him
mandnwong: since yahoo doesn't consider his injury
mandnwong: alright, i'll leave him for last 2 rounds
mandnwong: what about wood?
mandnwong: he's probably ok, no?
hermrulez: kerry or jake
mandnwong: kerry
peter_hood47: living dangerously
mandnwong: he might eventually become closer
ccjohnson23: from what i hear, he may not even make the roster
mandnwong: better than colon, imho
peter_hood47: cows may fly
mandnwong: haha
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: I wouldn't sweat it too much, If they aint here and didn't leave you a list.
peter_hood47: true enough, that
mandnwong: alright, i'll take wood for him
hermrulez: give em biggio
mandnwong: lol
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Colon would be better than wood
mandnwong: u think?
hermrulez: id take colon over wood
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: I do
mandnwong: i'd prefer wood myself partly becuase u need RPs
peter_hood47: i'd go with wood
hermrulez: wood if he makes the mlb club wont pick bak 2 bak days for awhile
ccjohnson23: who's pick?
mandnwong: my turn
ccjohnson23: gotcha
mandnwong: todd coffey
mandnwong: chad next
ccjohnson23: mike gonzalez
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Bastard!
peter_hood47: damn
ccjohnson23: i guess that's a good sign
peter_hood47: feel good
mandnwong: haha
mandnwong: is edmonds acceptable?
hermrulez: yes
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: I guess
peter_hood47: you picking every cripple on the list?
mandnwong: lol
mandnwong: well, it's o-rank
mandnwong: but if we think he's a dud, i'll save for later
hermrulez: no he fine
peter_hood47: who knows with him now
mandnwong: haha
mandnwong: i think maybe we should exclude big wood from these decisions
hermrulez: hater
hermrulez: whos next?
peter_hood47: turtles?
mandnwong: chavez
mandnwong: i'm figuring out who to take for him
hermrulez: give em biggio
mandnwong: it's edmonds, polanco, wilkerson
mandnwong: anymore thoughts?
hermrulez: the thats order they should go 2 the ppl that arnt here
hermrulez: then**
mandnwong: well, we don't want to stick them w/ absolutely terrible picks
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: I have no idea about their injuries or not
mandnwong: since that would just hurt the league overall
mandnwong: polanco's bad for this league
peter_hood47: well i would tend to go with wilkerson 1st
hermrulez: well them not elavin a list and not showin hurts the league as well
mandnwong: yes, but at least if we need to replace owners, it'll be easier to do
mandnwong: everyone ok w/ me taking wilkerson?
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: He doesn't have a catcher yet
hermrulez: so ur sayin give em young promising spects to make them/ new owners happy?
mandnwong: lolo
mandnwong: lol
mandnwong: alright, how 'bout giving him molina then?
haysguru2: sounds good
mandnwong: he's the top o-rank catcher
hermrulez: i say fo by o rank strickly
peter_hood47: iannetta is free i think
mandnwong: anyone else?
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Either the top catcher or SP
hermrulez: the top overal player no pickin their team for them
mandnwong: yes, he's free also, but i'm not sure we should make that kind of judgment call w/ these kinds of picks
haysguru2: Heck, I left early this morning to drive 10 hours to be here for the draft as I am new owner and wanted to make my own picks.
peter_hood47: just pick someone Man, and get this going
mandnwong: alright, molina then
hermrulez: i say biggio is more than fair
mandnwong: gas can
hermrulez: if they cant show then no since pickin them a good team
mandnwong: big wood, if u're not gonna be helpful, then i will have to ignore your suggestions completely
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: Pat Neshek
mandnwong: well, i don't want to make judgement calls, but i don't think it makes sense to give them duds either
hermrulez: im just saying its like you running everyone team and thats not fair 2 you
mandnwong: hounds
ccjohnson23: not fair to us either, for that matter
peter_hood47: Justin Duchscherer
mandnwong: molina's not that great anyway
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: If this were a flat out autodraft, they would get the highest rank player by position of need, not just the overall highest ranked,
mandnwong: true that
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: So it makes sense to at least make sure they don't end up with 5 ss
mandnwong: hehheh
hermrulez: ive been in an auto draft where a team had jeter young tejada and it was auto picked
mandnwong: that's nice
mandnwong: who's gonna donate jeter, young and tejada to me?
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: But when the draft is over they at least have a player for each position
haysguru2: who's up?
peter_hood47: creative
mandnwong: he still needs a RF, should i give him jenkins then?
advocateofthesophisticatedarts: sure
ccjohnson23: sounds good.....
daveyjohnsonxxx: Moises Alou may make more sense since he will at least have a job.
mandnwong: u think?
peter_hood47: probably right
mandnwong: alright, if the birds say so, i can at least blame him
mandnwong: guns
hermrulez: he leave?
mandnwong: yes, he asked me to fill holes for him
hermrulez: k
mandnwong: he gets aurilia
mandnwong: i skipped vizquel for him
mandnwong: too old
mandnwong: wood's turn
hermrulez: luke hochevar kc sp
mandnwong: hmmm... are u an expansion team too?
hermrulez: huh?
haysguru2: Nice pick
hermrulez: thx
hermrulez: was hopin lincecum fell
haysguru2: thought about pairing him with Bailey last round
haysguru2: me too on lincecum
mandnwong: good for cory, but big wood's a contender, no?
hermrulez: glad u didnt
mandnwong: ants take duke
mandnwong: birds
hermrulez: hey i can contend now jus takin a few pieces to put ove rth top in yrs 2 com
