Would you? It’s sounds as promising as managing the 62 Mets.

Dynasty League Draft (Liveblog)
Posted: March 14, 2009 by datechguy in baseball, gaming, hobbies, Sable BaseballTags: sports
Our Draft has begun We had 30 man rosters, you are allowed to keep players based on your finish the previous year. You can sign players for a max of 3 years after which they must re-enter the draft. Remember when people are picking different teams have different needs. A Team had the option to release a 1st round pick to retain 2 players and 1 player if you forfeit a 2nd or 3rd round pick. This is a new rule.
Round #1 Picks
1…Mets Joe Mauer (Minn) C (pick acquired from Traded from Toronto)
2…Florida Bernard Span (Minn) RF
3…Boston Ray Halladay (Tor) RHP starter
4…Mets Matt Holliday (Col) LF
5…KC I-Rod (NYY) C (I wouldn’t have thought he would have gone so high this season)
6…SD C.C. Sabathica (Mil) LHP
7…NYY Scotty Baker (Minn) RHP
8…Tor Jose Reyes (Mets) SS
I think the new draft rule really messes this up
——————————————-
Round #2
1…Tampa Bay Jason Worth (Phil) RF
2…Florida Gerald Laird (Tex) C
3…Boston Jose Valverde (Bos) RHP
4…Toronto (Acquired from the mets) David Bush (Tor) RHP
5… Kansas Milton Bradley (Kan) RF
6…San Diego Rich Harden (San) RHP
7…Toronto Mike Adams (Tor) RHP
8..SF Carlos Marmol (Cubs) RHP
9….Toronto (pick acquired from StL) Doug Mienkiewitz (Pitt) 1b
10…Tampa Bay Grady Sizemore (Cleveland) CF

Dynesty League draft today

The Tabletop league that I started 22 years ago is having its annual draft today. I am no longer an active player, but am League treasurer so I will be attending. I may liveblog the draft today.
We started with Status Pro Baseball, back in 1987, we then played one season of Strat-o-matic (that was the season that I won it all) and we now play Dynasty baseball. An awesome game.
You know its a shame to see so many empty seats…

…for such a big game.
1:09 p.m. Do you really want to be bunting on the very first pitch?
1:14 p.m. When you don’t have much of an offense you can’t be first pitch swinging constantly.
1:18 p.m. This is what happens when you look at a few pitches instead of just swinging. Also these guys have seen Ponson.
1:19 p.m. I was hoping we had escaped the Bellefonte chant.
1:21 p.m. I disagree, if you play with the infield in with no out in the bottom of the first you tell your offense that they aren’t any good.
1:22 p.m. Reynolds makes the point that I did about these guys having seen Ponson before.
1:30 p.m. The wife just got home and wants to go to lunch so we will likely be scooting and the man is nailed at the plate.
1:32 p.m. The first out is at the plate but the next batter drives in the run. What did Reynolds say about not scoring?
1:34 p.m Strike 3 two down. Kenley up.
1:36 p.m. 2-3 on a 2-2 pitch and we are knotted after 1 1/2 and I’m off to use up some Friendly’s free ice cream cone coupons.
3:33 p.m. Just came in to see that Venezuela won 3-1. Darn.
