Let me lay it out for ya'. I got 9, you got 10 and 11, then I get 12. It goes that way through the whole draft for every round. Your only chance to get a decent 2 or SS is very early. Very early.

He's saying that the good 2B and SS will be taken early in the draft. The way zap is talking it looks like he might take Kinsler and Rollins with those picks. He got the perfect draft position, in his mind at least.

I can only get one of them and that's going to be his only chance to get a good MI. His problem is that we only get picks 20 players apart and every time there's going to be a good 2 or SS I get to nab him first.

Crap, I thought it was like a regular draft and I just picked 10th every round. Interesting.

I thought you said you closed down leagues with your incredible, discouraging success. That is a regular draft and you are going to get one shot at a good MI, at 10/11. After that, they will never reach your spot in the draft and you will end up with TheRiot.

Interesting. We never drafted like that, I don't think. 
And like I said, I won 2 out of 3 years, one year I lost to a chick who picked guys based on if she like their names or not.
Maybe we did draft like that, dude, this was 1999, 2000, & 2001 and I haven't played since. And like Madtown, I actually care about REALY baseball more than fantasy.

Please don't tell me that means that you will be like Madtown and wimp out once you start to realize how much your team sucks.
How could you not draft like that? If you went last every round you would have zero chance. My suggestion to you is to go to the site, go to draft central and do a mock draft at least once.

Yeah, that might be a good idea. This was so long ago, half my league was on dial up.
No, I won't quit. And my team won't suck.

Interesting to see how this'll affect the draft. He should still go very early.

Yeah, I heard that. You were going to take him, though, weren't you? So now you get Big Al.

It all depends on the news over the next 3 weeks. The latest is no surgery.

Didn't the statement that would have to have surgery come from his cousin, of all people?
I would wait for confirmation from someone who graduated medical school, to say nothing of some Dominican barrio primary school.

Well, now we have some idea of the dealio, out until mid-May, crossfingers. We probably won't know any more in 3 weeks and so, yeah it will be interesting to see where he falls. I won't touch him at 9/12 but if he fell to 29 that would be a real toughie. Real tough indeed.
