| Message | and if we are voting for performance than i would have to vote for myself (of course, eh!) b/c of the way i was able to pry glaus from danny. dan wanted both dunn and glaus.. i wanted one of the two but he could afford both. so jeff throws out dunn and as the bidding is set to conclude i whisper to him that dan will go $23 (it had stopped at $17). why 23? because if he does i can thus outbid him for glaus. but it had to be $23 and he bit and i got my man. i was pretty pleased about that. other similar stories? these are my favourite parts of auction! Go slingers!! |

| Message | i am boycotting this new d.d.guru business. why? b/c we have not defined what we are evaluating. if we are judging JUST auction performance.. than fine. but to try and judge the strength of the teams is stupid at this point. no games have been played! you're basically guessing whose teams are good and then handing out a trophy. i think we should wait and hand out the award in retrospect of the shrewd moves made on auction day. for example: i thought: ricekake was overrated, and guys like hall, hudson and huff were actually going to be valuable. you man not agree but at the end of the season i may be right. likewise, ricekrack may win the cy young in which case danny got a bargain. but to judge this award today based on projections is retarded. |

| Message | Here are my votes for draft day guru: 1. Tim. Super active in bidding players up even for guys he obviously had no interest in. Got stuck a couple of times, most notably on Martinez. Price enforced everyone but remained within his strategy. 2. Harold. Able to bid up people that couple of extra bucks when the bidding seems to slow down to the point where he extracts those valuable dollars from people's pockets and lessens their value in the process. Managed to obtain most of the people he wanted without making it seem like he was super interested in them. Most notably stuck on Webb but able to overcome the bid up. 3. Jeff. I agree with Harold in that Jeff managed to give it to Dan dry and made him his bitch. Not such a big fan of his team mind you, but he managed to bid on guys he didn't even want and didn't make it seem so obvious. Draft Day Un-Guru award to be shared by both Dan and Rob. Dan receives the award due to taking himself out of the bidding for hours after the first two guys and even when he did bid you knew he couldn't go to the wall for the guy cuz he had zero cash. Rob shares in the award for staying silent for the first hour then overspending when it was obvious he was going to have cash to burn left and spent like $100 on three guys when the talent pool was getting gross. Mismanaged money. |

| Message | Ok heres my votes for draft day Guru. 1. Tim, active in the bidding, overpaid on guys like Martinez, Ramirez and possibly Zambrano with the 40 dollar throw out. I like the couple 1 dollar starters he got and thought he did a good job with his bench players, giving him versatility and depth. 2. Pat, was more active in bidding than in years past and only once did he get in a bidding war where he had to have a guy (sizemore). The pitching is solid with some concern with aging starters and considering what he spent on batting I thought he put a good squad together. Deals in Jones and Wagner. Bench is solid adding Rolen with everyone else being proven enough to step in and contribute with maybe the exception of black Chris Young but a lot of upside there. 3. Jeff, I loved the fact he was around all night giving it dry to Danny price enforcing guys. And the whole Ramon Hernandez seems like some kind of retarded brilliance. As for his team well I don't think Derksen and I have ever been on the same page as for who we like. His bench is risky with guys like Martinez and Wood who might not be around to help the squad if one of his pitchers goes down early. Overall I think Jeff is going to be a key reason why Dan is out of the top 5 this year. Big improvement over years past when Jeff wouldn't bid a guy up if he didn't want him. |

| Message | I would suggest each GM votes for who they thought had the best auction, taking into account the team they put together as well as their activity in the bidding, ie. bidding up other gms. I would also suggest evryone vote for their top 3 gms in order |

| Message | Have your slim pick in by 8:00 PM and I'll get it in then, maybe this year send your picks by email to timfry15@hotmail.com, that way I can save everything in folders, and if the banter board crashes or has problems like last year we don't lose anything. I'll throw the rosters on sometime today so that they are ready for tomorrow. I will be in Abby for ball at 10:00. Looking at the teams last night, I think it is more wide open than ever this year. I like Harolds team, I think Rob has some monster pitching potential but is going to come up short in power, Pat has K's and saves wrapped up, and has good value for batting. Best deals are Andrew Jones at $17, and Victor Martinez at 27  . Aubrey Huff wins the award for worst piece of crap to earn a dollar. I will excuse the Grady Sizemore fiasco and award Pat as the team who did the best at the auction in my opinion. He maybe spent a little too much on pitching but did get some quality bats without overspending much. Then again even a retard could pick a good team in an eight man pool with $288.  |

| Message | What's the daily slim deadline, Tim? And are we voting on "Best Auction" or "Best Team coming out of the Auction" ? I'd say best auction, leaving contracts out of the mix... Rain or shine guys? |
