Mark Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I've seen other fansites do an adopt a player type thing. You have a draft, in which the top posters get first selections and so on and so forth. Minor league players can be drafted as well. Anyways, you put the player in your sig along with his stats and any newsbits there might be. This is a good way to see how a minor leaguer is developing or how the major league players are performing. Just thought I'd suggest it.

UMFan4Life7 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Sounds kinda fun, but a little too much work with all the news updates, stats, etc. But it could still be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heckeroo Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Juanky just thinks it's fun cause he'd a have a top 3 choice... psh... Well, i'd actually think itd be fun as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 Seriously, it's a blast...when your guy does something good you can brag. Plus, it lets the posters know more about the minor league guys, and that's a big plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'd do it. You could post articles on the blog Admin gave us all and then just use a FeedBurner Ticker in the signature to keep everyone updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rferry Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 What happens if Juanky gets Conine, I get LoDuca and Ramp gets Ryan Jorgensen? Total chaos. Can we trade? Wait until July and trade Paulie for Willingham and a 6th starter. Oh yeah! Seriously... this hurts the bandwagon hoppers. With the sig restrictions as they are the Marlin of the month/week/day/inning won't get proper 'dap'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 For the record, I don't especially hate any Marlins. I just hate the way the masses look at them Hence, Miguel's free pass on defense and everyone clammoring for Jeff when Enc is tearing the cover off the ball. However, I think it will work, because the top guys probably wouldn't be selecting the biggest names. I'd say Ramp would take Willy, Admin would take Jorg, I'd take Enc, Mota, or one of the minor league arms, etc. The middle drafters would probably get Juanpy, Miguel, Mikey, and the big names. That way we get to spread knowledge on some of the unknowns to the lesser knowing members, and the middle names can get more attention with the big guns. If we redraft every Spring Training, we could def increase recognition of lesser known players both on the major league club and in the minors.

Ramp Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 No top 10 prospects should be allowed we know enough about them... get the unsung guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miami15 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 We'd be doing this with minor leaguers only, wouldn't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 You can do major leaguers...if they perform well you can brag. That's really the only advantage to having a major leaguer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 the thing is that most of the people here know how our major league players are doing, and to a lesser extent, our top 10 prospects... imo, only minor leaguers outside the top 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
