run on pitchers

And Kimbrel was a huge reach

The priority on pitchers is a big difference between this draft and last year's.

Having my picks 'together' certainly encouraged me to look at pitching earlier than I would probably have done if I was in the middle of the pack.

Shin-Soo Choo, RF, Cincinnati Reds

LNK's on the clock. Awaiting to hear if he wants to go for who he PM'd me with or someone else.

Also, undrafted players are now put on waivers. Waiver period is now three days instead of one, reason being that having it as one day meant nobody had to factor waivers in their roster decisions.

[9 to 5]

Explain what this is and how it affects me.

[thatshortguy]

When a player is undrafted/released, they'll be on waivers for three days. This will allow teams to make bids on players. Whoever bids the highest will earn the player. If nobody bids in three days, the player becomes a free agent and anyone can claim him.

Perhaps this is a better example:

Let's say my team is taking (likely) and I release Aaron Hill out of blind, drunken frustration. Let's also say I release him on July 1st.

Now, assume you and Srar are the only two teams interested in getting Hill ASAP. Srar bids $5 (out of a team's $100 preset budget), you bid $6. At the end of the three day waiting period (in this case, July 4th), you'd win Aaron Hill.

[9 to 5]

I get it.

The American terms confused me. Buying people with loose change is also weird.

[gunnar hendershow]

Don't worry we'll set up a system where only teams owned by Arab oil billionaires can win championships soon enough.

Cheers!

Chris Sale, SP, Chicago White Sox

[9 to 5]

Way to wait for berober. >_>

[thatshortguy]

Yeah, berober's on the clock until 1.30p on Monday. When he picks (provided it's not Sale), we'll pencil yours in.

[gunnar hendershow]

Itchy trigger finger. Well at least it'll speed things up when he does pick, I'll PM you my other pick.

[Berober]

Zack Greinke

[gunnar hendershow]

Fanastic! He was my 2nd choice, I'm glad everything worked out.

I officially take Chris Sale.

Ryan Zimmerman is a Based God

Brandon Phillips

[thatshortguy]

Ian Desmond also returns, handling the shortstop.

[Your Mom]

I wanted to take him but I thought it was too soon get pick up a Utility spot. He did great for me last year before he got hurt
