F*c king Peavey.  Now my whole pen is gone.  Gonna take me a little research to fill this thing out.  I'm working today and going away for the holiday so it could be a few days until I have a chance to review the results and start researching this yet again.

Like I said I will pick up seans team but I can't do that until my team is finished otherwise that isn't really fair, but if someone else wants a shot at that team please take it.

Yes I got Drabowsky.  Now would be a good time to remind people of the rule that all the pitchers selected and blacklisted can not be used by anybody else in relief also.  Eckersley is the obvious one, but I also have two starters that are much more likely to be seen in a bullpen, but not in this league.  My 98 IP Drabowsky and 76 IP Pineiro.

My guys aren't as talented, but you can add Felix Hernandez and especially Jason Isringhausen to the list of blacklisted RP "starters".

Isringhausen is quite a good catch.  I didn't realize he averaged so many innings per game.  Figured he was a 1 inning closer.  Good find.  I wonder if you will be limping his 76 IP guy to 30 starts just like my pineiro.

I listed 50 SP a page or 2 back, ALL of them are still available, if you need help & it looks like you DO!  Picking RP, just to mess up another team is NUTS!  Remember, these RP have to START 30 games, that means that they MIGHT only get about 1 or 2 IP per game & that might ruin your pitching staff?  I guess you COULD use one of Moe's 2 HIGH IP season, but at 3.73 ERA, Good Luck!!  But it seams like quite a stretch, JUST to get Ernie Banks, there is nothing else going for the cubbies that season, NOT even a decent Santo... & his A's team, there is nothing there!  Drabowski is a WASTED pic, GL with that!  Who is planning to use Moe as a RP anyway, HE STINKS?!

Ace is making some sense, this is getting RIDICULUOUS!  I say give them til Tues/Wed MIDnight - there are only 3 picks left!

10_Cents pick for BOTH teams, its NOT unfair if you only have 1 pick per team, GO AHEAD!  Im sure it would be OK with everyone else, to get this thing going?

Give the picks til Tues/Wed MIDnight, then give ALL of the teams the WEEKEND to get their team in... REALLY, it only takes about an hour to select a team, if you have some direction, which they all DO, this aint Rocket Science...  That way the league should be FULL by the All Star game 7/13, lets get this Biotch started already, we have been going at this for over 3 months!!

People are trying to put together the best team that works for them.  This is not an easy task sometimes.  I mean yeah it's been taking long to get picks but this is what you signed up for.  Yeah, graymatter put together that list but a lot of those players don't have adequate teammates to fill a roster.  It's much more then that.

plus fitting a salary cap that is hard. I mean look at Walter Johnson.  That guy is awesome but his teammeates suck something terrible.  Obviously by what you see people think alike

with 3 picks left, they cant expect to get 4 GREAT teammates for these guys!  At best, if they find 1 or 2 teammates of quality (which ALL of the 50 qualify) the others are low salary backups, because of the medium CAP.  Like I stated earlier, Id gladly swap Bearden or Nolan for any of these SP, so they are LEGIT SP worth taking!

Walter Johnson & 4 low salary RP or backups?  Each owner has 4 other SP to draw TM from to get starting position players.   It would WORK for me, WJ would KILL in this league, he might be a 25-30 game winner!  Look at Bearden & Pavano, I got 1-2 useable players & 2-3 low caps guys from BOTH of them. meaning 4-5 wasted, throwaway guys picked...  You cant have 4 all star players per SP, there isnt room under the CAP!  You gotta have some bench players?
