    SOSH Real Fantasy Draft: Draft Order, Rules, and Draft Thread

    Ehn why the fuck not. The Corning Cholesterol select RP Matt Thornton.     I don't know why I like the photo. I just do.   Here is why not. He reported some elbow inflammation. He is old. His strikeout rate has dropped. However, he has been good the last three years and can probably still be an...

      Actually, I shouldn't have even posted that. I hadn't read through the thread and I didn't know he had already picked. My intention at the time was more to say, "Yeah he's been PM'd," rather than, "Shutup MakMan44! I PM'd him! Gawd!" So yeah, no worries. I don't have THAT thin a skin.

    I PM's him when I made my pick.

    The Corning Cholesterol select RP, Brian Wilson.     So yeah. No teams want to take a chance on him. He is not back to full strength after TJ surgery, but he should be soon and we all know TJ surgery makes pitchers better. He is not too far removed from some great years. Or maybe he is too far...

    I completely disagree with Snod. If the guy retires, then you'd have a hard time convincing me that you would be able to have him contribute to the team. A guy playing in Japan is totally different. He would take a contract I suspect if it was more money. I can see the grey area being that the...

    He'll be back. And if he retires? Well, I should have picked him later. I think he has one more season in him.

    Sorry about the lateness. Dog issues. The Corning Cholesterol select Carlos Lee, DH? Sure DH. Why not.     Really, he is a righty bat to spell Lance Berkman from time to time and fill in at LF from time to time.

    I'll be in class the next 3 hours, so I won't be picking until 9:35.

    Damn it. That was my next pick. Thought the right hander would slide a bit further.

    Thanks to my proxy MakMan44. Jesse Crain was selected because he has solid K rates though they have gone up with his walk and HR rates. His splits last year were almost Roogie splits. However, he was still pretty effective against lefties. Throughout his career he has given up an under .300 wOBA...

    Can I get me a proxy? I might be around to get my pick out tomorrow, but I will be travelling and teaching class tomorrow, and I want to keep this shit moving.

      The reason I think it is a pretty bad pick is:   (1) I could have waited a few rounds to get him. I suspect at least one, but maybe two.   (2) It essentially used the platoon advantage as a crutch and I personally think that should be a marginal concern. This is partially why I did not wait...

    Yeah, so most of the relievers I was looking at went off the board. I had already instantly regretted my last pick, but now I think it is among my worst in the draft. I told myself I wouldn't worry about a lefty, and then I did. I understand how GMs destroy themselves, though at least it was...

    The Corning Cholesterol select LRP Sean Burnett     So yeah, he is mostly a loogy, but he is not overly terrible against righties. He is just kind of bad. I could leave him in against pinch hitting righties that kind of suck and not have by balls recede into my body. Mostly. He had a hiccup two...
