Dubey 1,035 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I hope yahoo fixes Sean Rodriguez' eligibility before the 9th. They list him as a 2b in the player profile, but he is currently only eligible for OF on the roster page. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafs 142 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 More info on Bryce Harper that I've found.He holds the record for the longest measured homerun at Tropicana Field at 502 feet. He was 16 when he hit it during a HR derby. Mind you, he would've been using a lumi, but still..!His wiki page says he's called "the Lebron James of baseball"He pitches too, and has been clocked at 96 MPH.Also, I believe he's represented by Scott Boras. I haven't decided if this is good or bad yet. It might deter the Nats from drafting him, as Boras-represented Stephen Strasburg took them down to the last minute in a record negotiation. They may want to avoid that again. The Pirates draft 2nd and they're cash strapped too. The Orioles draft 3rd and already have Wieters, but could they pass on him? The Royals draft 4th. I think I'm hoping he goes there. Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'm hoping he goes there.Heh, I read that too. His wiki page reads like it is written by Boras. He might be the first person in history with eligibility at 2B and Catcher if that's to be believed!Being represented by Boras is bad, no question about it. It won't matter since, like Strasburg, whoever has to pay will pay, and will get him on the field. Still, it is bad. I automatically lose a ton of respect for any prospect represented by him.Harper will be a star, I have no doubt about that. Whether it is in 2011 or 2014, I am less sure.

SBriand 4 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Mr Commish:Is there a place on the new yahoo site, that shows salaries?Thanks btw its amazing the work you guys are doing...AwesomenessNo. As posted before (you people need to read! lol ) yahoo doesn't handle our salaries and you can't create an auction draft without having a full auction. Hence all the crap about having two leagues and all this other BS.The team pages that I posted is keeping up with your cap situation. It will be up to date after each round. Adam is working on spreadsheets for us to keep tabs on. If you want ask him to email it to you. Though in all honesty you should all be keeping some kind of record of your team in an excel type file.

MapleLeafs 142 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Can someone text me when it's my turn to draft. I am taking the day off.It's looking as though you may need to text me again tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I laughed when I saw Inge taken. I have a huge man crush on him but I don't think I would have taken him. He strikes out way too often, he is a career .230 guy so he won't get you many hits, and until he can put two actual 20+ HR seasons together, not 2 in his career 3 years apart, then I will believe he has consistent power. If we got points for awesome fielding though, he is a top 25 pick! Link to post Share on other sites
