San Antonio Keeper Leagues Minor League Players Draft Thread...

[TheTruth]

We are going to do the Minor League draft through email or this thread. The first pick will be the Open Team since he had the last pick in the major league draft. I will try to get a hold of him in the next hour or so to get the pick. This is the best way that I know to make sure that everyone has input on who it is that they are going to draft. It's too hard to get everyone together on the weekend. I know that Growth Hormones has asked me to use the rotoworld draft list, since he isn't that familiar with minor league players.

Dio, you are out of minor league options. You need to get your major league roster legal before this weekend.

You CAN have more than 5 minor league players if you aquire them through trades. I'll work on getting a pick from Maroon Out before the night is over.

This is the draft order.

TxJudson Rocket's Team, Truth, Tom's Team, District Dirt Dogs, Katy, Growth Hormones, Horry for three, Erik, Texas Venom, Mile High Crushers, Joe. It'll snake after each round.

Joe, can you try to get a hold of Adam to get his picks when he is up. There are no time limits. Lets just try to get it done by the time our season starts Next Monday.

[TheTruth]

DRG Selected Evan Longoria.

Adam is up next.

Joe if you could find out if he wants to select a player himself, or have me use the rotoworld top 150.

[Horry For 3!]

You forgot to put Joe on the list, he'll get 12th pick, actually 11th pick since Dio can't get any minors.

[TheTruth]

Still waiting on Adam guys. We are in no hurry though. I sent him an email, and am waiting on a response.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

As funny as it might be, national security jokes in his e-mail aren't a good idea, though...

[TheTruth]

[Horry For 3!]

Chris B. Young (player who Dirt Dogs selected in this draft) was drafted in the regular draft by Open Team.

Damn good pick.
He isn't far from the bigs right now.


===

I'm looking to trade 1 or 2 of the following Minor League players.
*
Andy LaRoche
*
Andrew McCutchen
*
Ryan J. Braun
*

Willing to do 2 of mine for 1 MLB player and 1 Minor Leaguer of yours.
I'm looking for at least another HIGH QUALITY Minor Leaguer.

[TheTruth]

Matt Garza and one of my players? Garza was moved down to the Minors today.

[Mr Dio]

Matt Garza and one of my players? Garza was moved down to the Minors today.


Which of your players in addition to Garza are available?

[TheTruth]

lasting milledge? rocco baldelli?

[TheTruth]

Horry, Prior was sent down to AAA. Either move him down to the minors or cut him.

[Mr Dio]

lasting milledge? rocco baldelli?


Sorry Matt, can't do it for that.
Garza is worth a shot but, we need to realize he had a lengthy shot at the end of last yr and couldn't stick to the MLB squad outta spring training this yr.
With that said, the other two I have no interest in.

I'd need more, and depending on who you'd want, maybe a lot more.

Think about it, the guys I'm offering are better in most experts' opinions than any other Minor Leaguer left available for the draft.

[TheTruth]

you're also going to have to lose one of them for nothing.

remember, milledge was #2 on amateur lists last year. he's 22 years old, and already breaking in with the big league club. don't overvalue minor league players. 89% don't even make the majors. Even ones ranked #22 on this years prospect list.

[TheTruth]

Tom's Team selects Carlos Gonzalez OF ARI

[TheTruth]

The Pinoy Pounders select Travis Snyder OF TOR

I still don't know who you're looking for in return AND are you saying I can keep Milledge as part of my MLB squad?

[TheTruth]

a player doesn't have to be drafted to be a keeper. anyone on your roster by sept 1 can go towards your keeper limit.

[Horry For 3!]

I'll mess with stuff this weekend. I have been partying all day today, so I can't think right now.

[Horry For 3!]

That is kinda gay though, it should be whoever is drafted is keeper, whoever is not is not a keeper.

He was picked up off the waiver wire but he is a minor leaguer so, should he be available for the people picking in this minor league draft from here on out as per your email?

Yeah, that Jeremy guy can't pick him up. Matt needs to drop him off his list.

Tom's team selects Jeff Clement C SEA

[Mr Dio]

I feel bad for putting it on the board but I guess I should've also posted it on the board that I'd dropped LaRoche. It was pretty late and I had The Departed on Demand so I was engrossed to say the least. BTW, that is a bad ass flick!
In my defense, everyone got the email so the rules are no secret.

[Mr Dio]

BTW Josh nice pick on Kershaw, I was wondering how long he'd last.
Check this out.
You what these Sterling Blacks are running right now and what they'll be in a yr?

Renteria killed my excite :depressed

Myers up 0-2 with 2 outs in 7.2 innings up by 1 run. Then fuckin Renteria hits a homerun, asshole. If Myers would of got that out and the W, he would of got me 21 pts :depressed
