I actually wanted Edman but Civale is a nice consolation pick. Seth Corry is a real nice value there too. If my franchise was better managed, a could take a younger guy like that.

I agree. There are certain organizations you can just trust more with developing certain positions.
Indians + SP = cash money

Just FYI, if my pick comes up anytime soon, it's gonna take me a little while to make my pick. I have done 0 prep and have been pretty busy in real life.....plus I want to drag it out for jIM

I have done 0 prep and have been pretty busy in real life.....plus I want to drag it out for jIM Welcome to the club Connor! Soon your prep will consist of ctrl+F'ing random high upside teenagers to see if they're available and drafting the first one that still is. It's easier in the summer because you get a full draft of new high upside teenagers.

Yes yes. I endorse that strategy wholeheartedly.
More upside teen prospects, preferably of the 6-finger variety. Gotta' draft 'em all. #pokemon

Highly successful GMs grasping at straws? What's going here? Is the only edge you truly have a giant pile of money? FLM

It is the 'Jeff is now incredibly lazy when it comes to baseball' strategy. It has served me well in the BNSL draft, less well in NSBL.

Not if I drag it out first. Screw Jim. Super classy, Ty. Nothing like single-handedly grinding an entire league to a halt simply because you can. Thanks to the other 20+ GMs in the league who were cool and considerate to the guys picking after them. Guess I’ll see everyone in late January then. JIm

As a reminder, no one is obligated to pick before their assigned day. Owners are more than welcome to wait until their assigned day so they can have as much information as possible before making their selection. Don't let others pressure you into picking early.
Thank you.

Thanks to the other 20+ GMs in the league who were cool and considerate to the guys picking after them. Guess I’ll see everyone in late January then. JIm One of the players I want to read about plays for a team whose Top Prospect list hasn't been put out by 1500 yet. They have 12 teams to go and do 1 per day. Fangraphs hasn't done that team either. MLB pipeline will release their Top 100 next Saturday. So if you don't like having to wait, fuck off. I am not going to hurry and pick a player without all possible information just to appease your bitch ass. You whine more than a little bitch. Grow the fuck up, Jim.

Not to fan the flames of the garbage inferno, just gotta say that your explanation was plenty. Yes, we all need to accept that there will be down time even if we finish the draft ahead of schedule, especially Jim. Playful banter is one thing. Just be aware that when the tone isn't playful that our league becomes less fun for multiple parties, not just the person getting "called out." Heed your own advice. We're only supposed to pretend to be petulant children. Not actually be petulant children. Also, I hate being the one to give the "be better" speech. So both of you can go choke on some taint for making me be that guy. Happy Sunday, y'all!

Honesty has to take precedence over playful banter occasionally. There has never been an instance of a one person calling out another that has resulted in anything positive. It's just selfish garbage. One gets the satisfaction, fleeting as it may be, while the rest of us have to wade thru it. I also take personal umbrage because I have spent a lot of time trying to make this off-season more interactive in a postive "fun" way. You're certainly entitled to agree with Ty's statement. I just don't think you should be defending the way he said it. You've spent years here basically doing the "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" method. I'm simply suggesting everyone give it a shot. Or maybe just try to have fun again. That's always an option. It's not like most of us have put up with each other for years now.

Me too. And pancakes. I also like pancakes. More fun - Pancakes, Waffles, or Winter Draft? I'm gonna go with Waffles just edging out Winter Draft. I'm too picky about my pancakes, but even an average waffle is a pretty good time.

Pancakes. I'm too used to the hotel waffles, where you flip the machine yourself. Not a fan of those.
Waffle House is always solid, though.

I like to make my pancakes with cinnamon and vanilla.
Waffle House All-Star Slam might just be the meal I would choose for a last meal.
Winter Draft is a distant third for me if those are the 3 choices.
