@IowaCubs: @Grey: @agarthered: @Eric W: mockdraftcentral is a paysite . www.couchmanagers.com is free ...always . additionally , you can customize your own private draft ...i.e. # of rounds , position requirements , and , time . might i suggest a slow time control of 8 hours per move ? (12 hours ?) of course , there are options that allow for the computer to draft from your queue order ... so you can actually be away from your computer for a couple of days , without pissing people off . additionally , if you wanted to restrict it to razz people only , you could require that a password be used , in order to register .

@IowaCubs: It's a good idea. I'm sure others would join in, if the time is conducive.

@agarthered: @Grey: I've been doing some mock drafting at mockdraftcentral.com. Let's get one going for commenters for the next couple of weeks that commenters as well as Grey and/or Rudy could participate in. Any interest for this here?

@agarthered: Good to have you back and I think IowaCubs has been putting together some mock drafts. Those are some great names for 2009. I'm with you. Here's another name for you, The Big FraGu -- speaking of which there's a new post. Check it out! @Steve: Sorry, wrong. Not about me being the only MJF fan, no, that you had right. You had the number wrong.

Btw Grey im also huge on vasquez and Votto. Another name who I love this year is Nolasco and Gallardo.

@Grey: OK – I guess seven. With a couple of TV shows thrown in.

I’m also guessing that most Razzballers don’t hold MJF in the same regard as you

Hey guys, with football fading away i’m back to reading baseball. You guys interested in doing a mock draft netime soon?

@sean: I'm with you, man. This has to be the weakest Yankee lineup since the early 80s. @Steve: Can't someone try and guess how many MJ movies are listed in the above post?

@Grey: The Frighteners? Virtually a New Zealand movie! Not the kind to make one's chest swell with patriotic pride, however.

Adding another swing-and-miss, low OBP guy in Cameron does nothing for me. Is he really $8M worth of a better option than the Melky/Gardiner sucktron?

Pretty unimpressed with:

Damon
Jeter
Cano
A-Rod
Posada
Matsui
Nady
Swisher
Cameron

Ha. Good old Roberto Kelly. Bastard would hit 10 of his 15 HRs every September and make you think he’d go for 30 the next year. Trading him for O’Neill was brilliant.

I bet R. Kelly and Luis Polonia got along well as Yankees…

@Grey: R. Kelly? He was so good in Space Jams.

@Rudy Gamble: Ricky Ledee -- nice. You know who you didn't see? Roberto Kelly.

You may be right and I’m just bitter that Melky sucked so bad after I traded you Grienke for him last year.

According to Baseball Cube, Austin Jackson projects for more power and speed but has much less plate discipline/contact rate. So maybe Austin Jackson is a Mike Cameron type? Tough to say but I’ve watched Melky for two years and I see Ricky Ledee….

Grey — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:27:19 +0000

@Rudy Gamble: He's 24 and you're already writing him off? You're crazy. Austin Jackson's the same player.

early prediction – melky will be starting on razzball rosters…

Rudy Gamble — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:12:07 +0000

Now he can just say Life With Mikey….

I like this deal for the Yanks. Melky could still surprise b/c he’s only 24 but it doesn’t seem like he projects as more than a 4th OF. I’m not a Cameron fan but 1 year of him let’s the Yanks take their time with Austin Jackson (http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/J/austin-jackson.shtml).

B/w him and Swisher, the Yanks are lucky to get a combined .500 average. At least CC will get some nice breezes to keep cool…

But Melky now apparently is gone! What say you now?!?
