P Steve Howe

he may not have many innings, but the dude can party

edit:

JUST KIDDING

we switch to P Dave LaPoint

YES! The draft can continue.

can i disappoint steve howe and take lapoint instead? I didn't realize that i had to draft the split team guys

You can draft them or trade for them. Sure, you can change your pick, just make sure that you do it before the next owner up picks and that you sitemail the next three.

The Pirates will take Greg Gagne with that fifth round pick I still have kicking around...so sorry it couldn't be the gritty, gutty Scott Fletcher.

40 HR, 127 rbi for my 2009 Blue Jays last league

I think this is totally unfair. as I rafted and made many trades so that I had a deep bench and deep bullpen and NOW you tell me I cannot use them...That sucks, seems like something Ceez would do.

And to top it off you give me 2 good pitchers..why would I draft Buehrle and Lilly if I knew I was getting 2 good pitchers. I would have drafted offense instead, and Hill or Murphy would not have been traded. I think it is way too late to change the rules, again how can you justify eliminating 10 - 15 players to replace them with 2...????

absolutely agree. how do we change roster makeup rules AFTER the draft? I made draft decisions based on my minor leaguers. I don't care what the vote was....I think this needs to be changed to MLB minor leaguers only. I'll trade my excess pitching to other teams that need it. I need my bench guys that I planned on having

The LA Dodgers would be happy to accept any and all starting pitching and good offensive players that would like to be donated...

Quick question because this is the draft forum, can we actually finish the draft?

spoonfed and dn3524, I understand why you are upset. However, I made an initial mistake in assuming that both fictional players in addition to drafted AAA players could be used. It appears that is not the case anymore. I have contacted admin in order to see if they can do it.
Hopefully they can.

Personally I feel granting 2 "good" AAA pitchers is the wrong decison for the reasons listed above. The biggest being draft decisions were made based on the description from the start.

A more realistic solution would be giving teams 2 real life, historic, players to keep in AAA who are considered mediocre but eat innings, if a team needs IP. I certainly will have plenty of IP, so long as I have my real players in AAA.

maybe not a bad idea. give everyone some criterion and let us all draft 2 guys for AAA pitching in addition to our other guys

I think this is a sound idea...thanks Campos!

I would like Mike Stanley C

innings eaters should be below average only
