@big o: Howard, Miggy then Tex. There's things that could change that besides injury.

@Grey: rank these 3 , please . howard , teixeira , cabrera . is there anything , short of an off-season injury , that would prompt you to change your ranking ?

@big o: I don't sense any anxiousness, not sure what you mean.

@Grey:
i’m sensing more anxious-ness this year , compared to last .
maybe it’s just that more of these “types” are being attracted
to your site .
obviously , i’m not the only one that finds the wait excruciating .
how do you read the current “state of the union” ?
are you expert-types rarin’ to go ??
will this be a shortened holiday-movie season ???
seems a shame (?) , as thanksgiving day is the grand opening of
the lastest ninja/killer blood-fest .
tra-la-la-la-la .

Fair enough. I’m having a hard time placing Cabrera that high without his 3B eligibility but i guess to his credit he’s about as consistent as they come.

@brett: I'm saying I like Miggy but A-Rod's slightly above him if I were drafting right now.

By: brett

brett — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:31:59 +0000

@Grey: So if it's "very close" are you saying Miggy's a relatively early first round pick, or is A-Rod falling in your books?

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:51:08 +0000

@GopherDay: Yes, also very true.

@Grey: And 1B is much deeper than 3B this season.

@GopherDay: A-Rod's steals are what pushes him over the top.

By: GopherDay

@GopherDay: Thats what I figured, but it sure is a close call.

@Grey: I will generally stay away from Johan, just because his name value requires a high price. If I can get him later on I'll pounce on it immediately!

@Russ: re: Johan -- Maybe, but it's also coupled with most experts refuse to draft pitchers.

@Russ: re: Wright — I’ll need to do a post on him, but I’m not high on him. re: Johan — I found the opposite in my two ‘pert drafts. I actually drafted him in the 5th round in one.

–I’m not high on Wright either. My main league, which is an auction draft where every team names four keepers (for the following three seasons) keeping him at 2/3 or even 1/2 of his historical price would be hard to turn down. In a snake draft, I wouldn’t draft him in the 2nd round–so I agree with you there.

–As far as the ‘perts–that doesn’t surprise me too much, ’cause I think most of ya’ll are afraid of his falling strikeout rate. I think johan still holds a strong allure with the casual drafter.

@GopherDay: A-rod, but it's very close.

@Grey: Miggy or A-rod?

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:12:21 +0000

@brett: Nah. Just queue up what you can. It’s pretty relaxed. We’ll just talk s*** with each another until your pick rolls round again

By: brett

brett — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:09:47 +0000

Question: Will it be frowned upon if i’m not at my computer on Sunday night? I’ll do my best to queue up two rounds worth of players, but nobody’s expecting to fire through the first five rounds or anything like that, right?

@big o: Cool, make sure to keep me updated.

*this = these
sorry about the cut-and – paste job .

prior to the start of the mock ,
draft order will be determined .

I hope the draft doesn’t take as long as it took to scroll through that comment

@Shmorgie S. Board: Larry King's a connoisseur on so many things, I believe it.

By: Shmorgie S. Board

I wonder if the dead writer version of Frank McCourt often/ever confused Carlos Santana with Tito Puente?

Larry King says, “I saw both Carlos Santana and Tito Puente perform, ‘Oye Como Va?’ and I can tell you they were both right…”

This is what I got out of the rest of this piece:
“Blah blah blah punt catcher blah blah blah”

Wright was drafted in the middle of the 2nd round in the mock I participated in last night. Even if he only hits 20 homers, that’s a nice value pick, cause the rest of his numbers should still be better than every other 3B besides Arod and Longoria. I’d definitely target him in an auction draft, especially if you can name him a keeper.

From what I gather, Johan isn’t going for much of a discount (he was the 4th pitcher drafted in the same mock, and it was only the 2nd round). Metco must be keeping people high on him.

@sean: Yeah, the top of your draft really killed you. It's hard to make up that ground when guys that should come around just don't.
