2012 HR Derby Discussion & Transactions

[Southpaw191679666239]

I forgot about the Tokyo series but I'm not going to change the Derby deadlines. Any HRs in Tokyo will count for the Regular Season.

[Southpaw191679666239]

Interesting how many turned on A-Ram and think he'll bottom out in Milwaukee.

[Sammy Sofa]

I don't think people "turned" on him so much as he's in a very competitive bracket where we have few picks.

 

Plus he's old and has a significant injury history.

[Derwood]

When will WC's be posted?

 

Am I the only one who didn't pick Cespedes?

[Sammy Sofa]

Additionally, I had my cousin register but his username didn't get approved yet (and still hasn't), so I added him, and he'll speak his transactions through me until his registration is approved.

[Sammy Sofa]

Tinkertini26 (Bryan LaHair)

 

Yipes.

[TruffleShuffle]

hey, lahair is a better pick than trout or pierzynski.

Hahahahahahah! I think my brain just willfully ignored that, like, "no, nobody is THAT crazy."

i had a REALLY good reason for picking AJ (unrelated to winning), BUT i am almost positive i changed my pick to lucas duda via PM on march 30 at 1:21pm. not that it will necessarily work out any better, but still.

Yes you did. My mistake. It has now been corrected.
