Imran took Hoffman, I'm rolling the dice on Wood, and asleep's BAPAY is (I think) Loretta.

jdd is up.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Thank's Guy . I got my 1st choice on the list.

And yeah, Loretta is next on the list for asleep.

thanks, though I honestly haven't heard much of Victor Martinez

Good up and coming Catcher. One of the young guns for the Indians.

And Berz, you know full well that we don't BAPAY to a position you already have filled if there are starter positions open on your roster .

[The Emperor Fabulous]

A repost:

Why sad? Then he's a 1B, 3B, OF. I'd be estatic if he moved.

...I guess I'm confused, this being my first fantasy baseball and all. Why is this a good thing?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Um.. because then you can play him any of the 3 positions? I like having options in where I put my players. That is why players who are eligible at more than one position are rated higher than the numbers may suggest.

[Berzerker]

Imran, we have to average a round a day to make it by the 30th and I don't think we can do it, so here's a suggestion I'm considering for Poly II to speed this up:

Everyone send you and someone else an identical list of maybe 10 picks at a time. The people receiving the lists can then open the PMs as each person's turn comes up and the first available player on their list gets picked. You can post our picks and the other person can confirm your posts. We can try to do this draft the conventional way if you want to see how close we can get but keep this idea in mind if it looks like we're too far behind.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yeah, but usually as it gets closer to the later rounds, people send masses of lists. It usually looks like we aren't going to make it, but then people say BAPAY me the best 2B left or something.

But it's worth a look if that doesn't happen.

[Berzerker]

True, the earlier picks are the most important so we can just keep plugging away and resort to extreme measures later on if need be. Are you going to be around tomorrow midday? I should send you a couple picks in case I'm not around.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Um... I may not be... to be safe, send them to someone else as well.

[Berzerker]

I'll send it to LoA since he follows me
