[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Landon Leach, and at 12:01 AM tomorrow can I have Tyler Wells again?

[Luckyd]

AAP 2018 Ricardo DeLa Torre. See some people can follow instructions....

Hahahahaha ...

 

Hosken, you may have Leach. As for Wells, if no one claims him between now and 00:01 tomorrow, I’ll let your stretching of the rules slide ... just this once. But if someone comes in at 00:00:59, you lose.

[Ben Noble]

I’m gonna go ahead and draft Tyler Wells, but I’ll inexplicably trade him straight up to Mr. Disco for whomever he drafts tomorrow, even though I could’ve drafted that player now.

 

Going with the Twins Rule 5 strategy this year.

Lol, I was waiting for someone to do that! Thank you for not disappointing. So I’ll mark you down for Tyler Wells, and when you and Hosken work out an amicable trade let me know.

 

Heh, you guys crack me up!

Griffin Jax

[Squirrel]

Griffin Jax

Oh yay, I’m glad someone took him! His is such an interesting story! When you get your page on him up and going, I’ll redirect traffic from the thread that’s in the main minor league forum.

[AZTwin]

ill give this a try.. Can I grab Jose Miranda?

[Squirrel]

Yep

 

Glad to have you aboard!

[AZTwin]

 

Yep

Glad to have you aboard!

Works out well.  I'll have to check him out at Cedar Rapids

[AZTwin]

Im a few minutes early, but can I draft Jovani Moran as well?

[goulik]

For the first round we were going off a list of the top 40 and round two was going to be the rest of the prospects (those maintaining prospect eligibility which rules out many AAA players)

Jovani Moran is a second rounder...

Theres only 39 players listed.  Can Moran be #40?

[kengrosz]

Kepler isn't a prospect anymore, so i'll like to take Kohl Stewart and take a closer look at him from good old germany. His given name is the same as our former chancellor Helmut....(rip)

[goulik]

With the 24th pick in the 2018 AAP draft Goulik selects

 

Luis Arraez. 2B, Fort Myers Miracle

[goulik]

Theres only 39 players listed.  Can Moran be #40?

I am a consultant and helping promote but I hold no real power here....

We (and by we I mean Carole) set things up this way to promote interest, fairness, and also to really push getting at least all the top prospects adopted. Moran will be officially yours I'm sure next Monday as long as you post before Ben Noble.

[goulik]

I will take Stephen Gonsalves.

 

Hopefully I will just be writing about a month or so of dominance before an early call to The Show.

And today your taking Garver and writing even less?

[Matthew Lenz]

I'd love Felix Jorge

[Squirrel]

There were 40, but forgot to remove Palacios.

 

But I’ll tell you what ... since you are a newcomer, I’ll make an exception. And because the next round list is REALLY long.

You are more than a consultant. Did you delete some of your PM’s yet so you have room to receive new ones?

[goulik]

Lol, Yes I did... Guess I filled it quick when I sent 20+ PM's in 2 days.

[goulik]

Since your pick was not officially approved before other picks came in, Im going to Minnesota Vikings draft circa 2003 and say your pick was actually number 26 in case you care

 

I'd love Felix Jorge

 

And yours was 27 because it matters...

[Matthew Lenz]

My bad!  Thanks for clarifying!

[Vanimal46]

Today I'll take the lanky lefty, Tyler Watson.

[goulik]

I shoulda included a sarcastic    as that was mostly a joke and actually aimed at AZ more than you.

Going with the Twins Rule 5 strategy this year.

You should get him to kick in $25K ($50K?) to cover the posting fee. That was great about the Johan Santana trade - the Twins got him for free since the team they traded with (Astros?) paid the posting fee. Maybe your guy will win a couple of Cy Young awards too.

I call shenanigans, and anyway, nothing is official because "pending a physical"
