I have a feeling who agame takes

Mo?

Ldo

just a heads up that anyone can manually edit the spreadsheet

Need more picks fast

I can't

I can't either

Damn, Damn, Damn!!! I would of LOVED to be in this draft. Man, these drafts fill quick. Well, GL fellas.

What am I missing with the Heyward pick?

Heyward pick seems fine to me. He's still really young, has huge upside, and has already proven to be at least a good MLB player. I'm surprised people apparently didn't value him that highly.

so we need to agree or commish needs to impose time limit until someone is skipped.

Let's do 4h with night time dead Zone?

sounds good.

agame is skipped.

4 hrs sounds good. Whatever gets agame skipped.


Naworleans:

If its ever going to be an issue you need to PM a list of picks to someone whose picks do not come between the current pick and yours- or a 3rd party.

You shouldn't be punshied for having a life (like everyone here does) but the draft shouldn't suffer because you comitted to a draft you hypothetically may not be reliable for.

Download the 2+2 app for your phone, and subscribe to email alerts for PMs and posts in this thread. Check it on the ****ter, and if you know your pick is coming up and you wont be around all day, PM someone a list.

I figure this is your first draft, so you will learn as you go. GL.

Pick run

SS Andrelton Simmons

Not the prototypical build-around player, but there is a pretty huge shortage of productive young position players and shortstops in MLB right now, and Simmons is both. He doesn't turn 25 until September and last year he was worth 4.7 WAR despite a .247 babip. Most of his value comes from being a generational defensive talent -- last year he saved 41 runs according to Fielding Bible, which was the highest score of any player in years. A shortstop that incredible defensively doesn't need to hit much to be valuable, but Simmons has also shown signs of improvement at the plate, including hitting 17 HRs last year. His bat doesn't need to get much better for him to be a star, and if it improves a lot he's one of the best players in this draft.

Good pick. Pretty sure he was next on our list.
