All you did offer a suggestion, the Commish "made the default picks' rule",,,Blame him!!!


DBP

Only two picks remained (both Dodger Relief Pitchers in RP1) that I could have had that wouldn't give me a "default" player. When BHEID took Reulbach, I was sweating it out. RONTG was the only one left who could have taken Labine and I had to wait it out all night. That being said, I can go ahead and take my 14th pick now since noone in front of me now needs a Dodger...

RP1 - 1953 Clem Labine - Brooklyn Dodgers - $3,302,455

Only three others need a White Sox player but they all have a 3B-Man, and only two others need a 3B-Man and they both have a White Sox player. Therefore, with my 15th Pick, I'll take

3B - Minnie Minoso - Chicago White Sox - $$5,991,806

Only one other person needs an SP1 and he already has his Brave player. Therefore, with my 16th Pick, I'll take

SP1 - Dick Rudolph - Boston Braves - $9,723,779

and that's it. Wake me up when Phase Two begins!

I’m too busy trying to avoid defaulting myself to worry about about intentionally defaulting someone else.

navigating the minefield...

my computer was not cooperating ,,,but up working again,,,

I'll echo juice's comments. I've been sweating it out also. I only had 2 options left at RP1 and both were Tigers. There were 6 owners that could take either of them and leave me in the default zone. Neither of the choices were very good which might be what saved me. Man I've been playing defense for the last 6 rounds just trying to figure this out. Thankfully I'm locked into my last 3 picks.

Round 14: 1960 Hank Aguirre - Tigers RP1 $2,885,254

Round 15: 1932 Wally Berger - Braves OF $6,721,242

Round 16: 1926 Johnny Mostil - White Sox OF $7,238,968

1955 Bob Miller

Reds are clear for me:
1942 RP1 Joe Beggs - Reds - $2,589,529

With this pick, I am finally out of the woods, in terms of defaulting. The good news: My strategy of waiting on RPs paid off. The bad news: My team will be blowing many multi-run late-inning leads.
