More On Mock Drafting at Couchmanagers
If you are new or want to refresh your memory, I recommend that you try a few Fast Live Mock Drafts before doing the custom ones.
The Fast drafts are just that, fast! They have a 90 second time limit for 18 rounds and are not usually over half filled with drafters....

Mock draft
I did a fast draft on couchmanagers and it started as soon as I signed up. Me against 11 computer teams. It was always my turn to pick two guys since I was on the corner. Have any idea why it started immediately?

Mock Drafting
If any of you are interested, I've set up a draft for Tuesday night. It starts at 8:00PM ET, it's a 24 round 2-minute draft. It's 12 teams, H2H Points style.
Four spots are already taken and they usually fill up.
I do one of these custom drafts every Tuesday night...

First 2 are set in stone
Barry: My first 2 picks are set in stone: Pujols and Sizemore. It's the 3rd pick that Ray and I and a few others, perhaps, are having a tough time deciding. My 3rd pick could be Soto, Beckett, Roberts, Bay. You could make a strong argument for each of those and that'...

BJ or the CAN ? ;-)
Now that I have your attention. This has nothing to do with what I want from my girlfriend.
What I am asking for is compelling arguments as to whether my third keeper using our OGBL scoring system should be McCann or Upton.

Earl's keepers
Geez Earl ... you timed joining well. Your team actually has enough good players to have to work to find the right mix of keepers. Some of us have teams that anyone that can fog a mirror is a keeper!

Maybe The Last Laugh
Looks like Jeff Kent will get the last laugh yet. Kent and Bonds were teammates for 6 seasons with the Giants, 1997-2002.

run, don't walk . . .
Run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore. The first baseball magazines of 2009 are here (both are published by the Sporting News). And then go to the Post Office and buy as many "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" stamps are you can afford.

Same old ... same old
Did you ever notice that every year some teams decide on their needs and go out and get them? Doesn't matter if their budget is high or low. On the other hand, some teams just seem to sit around and take whoever falls in their lap when the dust settles.

First Pick
Since we are a keeper league and certainly the very top players will be keepers, I think this is a fair question. Who would be #1 this year? I would choose Pujols over A-Rod. In second would choose Hanley Ramirez or David Wright and it certainly would not be my man o...
