2044 WBL Draft Thread

[OU11]

So I have 17/31/33. Maybe the 28th too if JD bows out. I'd like to move up

 

[osick87]

A quick pro and con is all I'd ask for.

 

[doh]

I'm shopping 9th overall. Want guys to help now or future picks. Maybe even more picks in this draft.

I'd enjoy it, have 3 2nd round picks starting at 17. Have guys that are ready/almost ready. Look my team over and see if something could work

I'd like to move up. Have 15 and 16.

Go away

 

[Orlando]

I wanted dat 1-1 doe.

 

[Orlando]

Damn @OU11 Lopez has a $9M demand. I think he will pan out fine, but thats some cash. Meanwhile, Funk wants slot.

 

[Gooksta]

lookin to move up @Reel, @NML holla at me if you want trade out of your current draft position. I have 3 first round and 3 third round picks.. plus anyone on my roster is open to trade

D Vajorov

J Hong

 

[Reel]

Was sleepy af last night. Will make pick when I get to work in about 30 min

 

[Rutgers Mike]

I tried to warn you. The only caveat is, Razor can actually play the position you drafted him for. Funk cannot (with that 25 speed).

DH babby.

 

[Reel]

All Whites are on the clock

 

[NML]

Dammit Reel.

I'll move back if someone wants to move up.

 

[Yankee151]

Would be interested in moving up

 

[OU11]

Damn @OU11 Lopez has a $9M demand. I think he will pan out fine, but thats some cash. Meanwhile, Funk wants slot.

I couldn't look at those things and didn't want to hold the draft up. It's better if he busts anyway, I'm almost back even on players. Hopefully I can start wheeling and dealing again soon.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Would be interested in moving up, have So, Prophet, Sanchez available.

 

[NML]

Send some PMs people. Working so I can't create the package myself

 

[Orlando]

Great pick @Reel.

 

[osick87]

After seeing the signing demands, I think I would have valued Kirby higher than Razor. Assuming OU has money though so it isn't a big deal.

 

[OU11]

OU could care less about money

 

[Orlando]

Aren't Kirbys demands high?

 

[Orlando]

OU could care less about money

Obligatory, "How much less?"

 

[OU11]

A fair amount I suppose. I don't want to go crazy with spending but $9M won't kill me.

 

[OU11]

@Gooksta pick yo pick boi

 

[osick87]

@Wolfman21

I got the two guys I wanted.

 

[OU11]

Shit. I was sure Vaughn wouldn't go that early.

 

[Wolfman21]

@doh

 

[Gooksta]

It was between vaughn and the guy i took.. i liked my guys bat more.. but vaughn is a great pick.. good enough bat.. great d and runs well.. great all around player

 

[Orlando]

Shit. I was sure Vaughn wouldn't go that early.

He would have gone at every pick from 3 on if anyone traded with me

 

[OU11]

@Wolfman21 gets his guy

 

[osick87]

That's not Wolfman

 

[Wolfman21]

Loved Billy. Best arm in the draft and only wants slot. Wolfman gave me the "impossible" to sign, so he was out.

 

[Orlando]

Wolfman is actually better. Can't believe you didn't take him.

 

[Wolfman21]

Wolfman is actually better. Can't believe you didn't take him.

Meh, I don't think so.

 

[OU11]

Wolfman is actually better. Can't believe you didn't take him.

Dat 3rd pitch, even if it is terrible it always helps them out

 

[Orlando]

If you made him a MR like Humprey he'd be better no doubt. Wolfman has the potential to be a solid starter too. I get if the impossible thing scared you off.

 

[Wolfman21]

Bean pole only has 2 pitches and he does just fine. Billy will be WBL ready in a year, year and a half with 2 70+ pitches. Wolfman could be a bust. I'll take the sure thing right now

 

[OU11]

I don't blame you, I agree with Quale though.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

In the meantime you can have Beanpole for cheap

 

[Wolfman21]

You mean 12 million dollars for one season?

 

[jdlikewhoa]

You mean 12 million dollars for one season?

Success is priceless

 

[Wolfman21]

True dat. I'll keep him in mind

 

[Gooksta]

@doh

 

[osick87]

I probably wouldn't draft a guy who I could only put as a RP that early but I can understand it. Also I think last year had "Impossibles" not even entertain offers from the teams drafting him. That'd be enough to scare me off.

 

[Wolfman21]

I've got plenty of bats. I need elite pitching. Billy is that at slot price. I'd love to have wolfman, but he's too much of a risk

 

[Orlando]

Bean pole only has 2 pitches and he does just fine. Billy will be WBL ready in a year, year and a half with 2 70+ pitches. Wolfman could be a bust. I'll take the sure thing right now

He will do just fine as a reliever, he just doesn't have the upside to be a SP.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Humphrey is a closer. No stamina and only three pitches.

He'll be a great closer though. But you already have Leduc, so I probably would have gone elsewhere. Maybe move Leduc to setup/MR and put Humphrey at CL. That could work.

 

[OU11]

2 pitches.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

That's what I meant.

I was thinking three or more pitches = SP and two pitches = reliever, so I got my post mixed up.

 

[Wolfman21]

I know he's a closer. There aren't any starting pitchers in this draft. Wolfman COULD be, but 40 stamina is blech. I'm still happy. Back end of my bullpen could be really good in a year or 2
