Apolyton Fantasy Baseball DRAFT THREAD 2!

[Lawrence of Arabia]

i wont be around tomorrow, heading back to sd, but i dont think that im gonna leave a list - lets see how quickly imran can blow a gasket or two.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well, I guess you'll want Jason Giambi and Mike Stanton.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

actually (and this is just between me and you) im drafting Ted Williams (LF - BOS) as my next pick. now, if he gets taken, and thats a big if, then ill need to take SS Bill Mazeroski (PITT)

dont tell anyone

[Lawrence of Arabia]

heres why i believe bonds did not take steroids knowingly.

steroids dont increase your batters eye. between the end of the 90s and the new millenium, something changed inside bonds. he never chases any pitches outside the zone, and he rarely strikesouts. steroid users, like Jose Canseco, Slammin Samy, McGuire, all strikeout a lot because they are always swinging for the fences. it doesnt make sense that bonds is the only one of those 4 guys who walks as much as he does if he took steroids. it only makes sense if he has developped an incredible batters eye that makes him swing only on pitches that he can drive.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Sent Berz a list if I'm not around tonight if my turn comes.

[Berzerker]

uh oh, I'm sick and will be going to sleep early tonight. I'll forward Imran's picks to LoA

[Guynemer]

Well, if LoA is going to be Keeper of the Picks tonight, I'll send him a few as well. I am ****ing exhausted.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

i will be back at 10 pm pacific to post guy's and imrans picks. at that point, i will pm someone a list of my picks for the next round (as well as forward any remaining picks i have been given) to the commie (immy imm imm) because i will not be available on sat.

have a nice day

[Lawrence of Arabia]
