So 3dayrotation is on the clock until 4pm. Only then can I pick.
Calhoop is late so whoever posts first between him and 3day.
I do want r4 starting tomorrow morning.

I gave whalers10 the 1978 Mets yesterday.

Agreed, and I mis-stated another part too.

lenny has exclusive rights to screw 3day until 4pm.
After 4pm, it is a race between lenny and me.
3day can go at 6pm (earlier if lenny and I go).

Round 4 window starts with C_Burns 8am-10am tomorrow, but he can go earlier if r3 is complete.

Lenny promises me a pick around 8pm-ish so I will forge ahead and 3day can as well.

Midknight's 48 Indians are ...better than his 78 Blue Jays. He is solid at most positions, and any team filled with Dave McKay and Jerry Garvin analogs was assigned well before round 3.

But Boudreau is nearly 13 million at SS, and Lemon is 11m at SP, so fielding either will be an exercise in self daggering.

My goal was to deny cheap backups at 1B and 3B or great starters at 1B & SS, without adding too many options at OF/SP.

Thus, Midnight gets the 1988 Cleveland Indians.

Since there is no backup at 1B or 3B, you can pay full freight to use Upshaw or Jacoby in that role.

As a Royals fan, I can anticipate how an OWNER would prefer Washington's salary over Boudreau's, but I think managers would lean the other way. I don't anticipate you will build your lineup around Upshaw either.

You do get a solid SP & RP, but it is hard to find a perfectly terrible team this late. You get playable OF's but they are worse than your current top 3, which is sort of theme for nearly every batter.

Hopefully, I saved enough problems for you to solve to keep your 4th round interesting!

3day... say hello to the 68 Astros.

As ermocito said, it is difficult to find a perfectly terrible team this late... BUT, I am confident that this team is a solid screw. You don't really have a great 1B or 3B, and the Astros don't give you a cheap option there... I think the 'stros are a decent enough team, but no real powerful SP or middle infield made them the only logical pick I could think of.

Best of luck!

Regarding tomorrow - my sitemail to 3day is not opened, but round 4 tends to mean the BEST remaining teams go instead of the worst ones. No need to wait for 3day before r4.

Until 3day picks, everyone else has to wait for their window, but they can pick as soon as the window opens. If 3day picks, we might be able to start picking ahead of the window.

C_Burns04 starts Round 4 by selecting the 1948 Tigers!

Round 4 picks need to await your window until we get the missing pick from the end of round 3.

1978 Detroit Tigers for my last team.

FYI- and in my research I noticed that the 78 Reds should be crossed off the available list. CBurns selected them. Save people some time in their search for this round.

1968 Minnesota Twins

I will take the 78 SF Giants as my 4th round pick.

sorry about the Giants. Mets were probably my second pick. You get Ryan and Seaver!

It's not the best team out there by far, but I have to fill very specific holes and these guys can do it.

1978 San Diego Padres

It was suggested to me that we ought to have someone else assign 3day's screw pick, so I will probably do that tomorrow. I will use a random method to pick someone who is not in the division or assigning dagger #2.

If anyone wants to opt OUT of beng considered please tell me asap.
