One spot left.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

You better have saved a spot for last year's champion!

[wolf stansson]

Now we full.

[ChiCubsFan]

Aren't we still 2 teams short?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

3, but I believe those are to be filled by the GRB half of the league.

[ChiCubsFan]

I just saw the draft was changed to next Sunday. I'm going to be out of town then, so I'll have to leave the league. Thanks anyways. Spot up for grabs I guess.

Truth.

[wolf stansson]

Who wants ChiCubs spot?

[TruffleShuffle]

is this going to get off the ground? the draft time has now been pushed back twice.

[wolf stansson]

We had two people from GRB drop out because they only wanted to play if they could attend the draft.

 

It is now scheduled for Tuesday at 8 pm CST. Sorry for the delays.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Draft's in about 10 minutes people, make your way there if you haven't yet.

[wolf stansson]

That was a really fun draft. I love the auction style. You could tell quite a few of us were first timers.

That was a lot of fun, the freedom to get who you want is great. I'm really happy with how my team turned out too.

[Tracer Bullet]

like those of us that ended up with vance stealing our picks for $2 at the end b/c we were maxed out?

 

it was a lot of fun. Glad I ended up being able to make the new draft time.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Yeah, I lost a few picks because I wouldn't go the extra buck or so...but then, I was able to get some that others wanted because I had a few extra bucks at the end.

I did the same thing. A little frustrating hitting the bid button at the exact time as someone else and accidentally bidding 1 more than you want. That's how I ended up with Theriot and Joba.

 

PS, if anyone needs some pitching let me know.

That's how I ended up with one or two guys too. I think I tried to bid $6 or $7 on Lilly and got him for $9. That was a little unsettling.

that was my first auction draft and i really enjoyed it, except for my connection crashing a couple of times and ending up with a couple of guys i didn't want. i was using a combo of my expectations and the BP player valuation tool, which is why I went for both pujols and reyes - they looked like bargains to me, even as two of the highest-priced guys in the draft.

 

my offense is beastly. pitching..... not so much.

It was a lot of fun. But it was my first auction draft and I hadn't the foggiest idea what I was doing. And I missed the first 10 minutes or so and then got interrupted by my son too. I still like my team, though there's a few guys I wish I didn't end up with and a few I missed out on by being late. Only takes one auction to realize you need to keep some money for the end when the real steals happen (K-Rod went for like $7 at the end when Motte went for $4 early, e.g.).

I had a plan of what I wanted to spend per spot going in, and that really helped me. I went over it early to ensure I got my top tier guys, but I was able to get it back later when I had more money than most(my other 5-6 starters combined cost as much as it did to get Halladay). It's light on pitching, especially with Price starting in AAA, but I'm real happy with it. I'm hooked on the auction style.
