July 27, 200818 yr the only other quicker way would be having a draft "party" and have everyone be around for like an hour or something to pick---of course that can be hard sometimes.
July 27, 200818 yr I'll adopt Cameron Maybin. Surprised nobody picked him yet. Maybe some people were confused with what GSOHOPPERS said. The Player chosen must not be on the 40 man MLB roster or have MLB experience,[but] i'll exclude Maybin since he is probably the most popular player in the farm system Am I right?

Also, I don't see why he should be an exception.
July 27, 200818 yr Alright here we go, Draft Rules: The Player chosen must not be on the 40 man MLB roster or have MLB experience, i'll exclude Maybin since he is probably the most popular player in the farm system.

July 27, 200818 yr Dallas McPherson, 3b (Albuquerque Isotopes) I really like him, so W/E. Besides, IDK how long I'd be commited to adopting a prospect, so he should be ready quickly or gone at the deadline. Works out for me. Later on, when he's gone, maybe i'll grab another undrafted free agent. Besides, powerhitting is my thing- it suits me. Piazza ya know. Chris 1. dgreco - Gaby Sanchez 2. malrinsrule - John Gall 3.

July 27, 200818 yr Besides, powerhitting is my thing- it suits me. Piazza ya know. Thanks for clarifying that. I was afraid it was the latent homosexuality or the love of frosted hair on weak armed catchers. :mischief
July 27, 200818 yr I'll take Skippy. 1. dgreco - Gaby Sanchez 2. malrinsrule - John Gall 3. AdrianneLove - Chris Coghlan 4. Puma - Cameron Maybin 5. Rydawg - Matt Dominguez 6.

July 27, 200818 yr Dallas McPherson is not eligible for the Adopt a Marlin since he has MLB experience. He played for the Angels in parts of 2004, 2005 and 2006. However, he is not on the Marlins 40 man roster. EDIT: I stand corrected. He does show in the 40 man roster as an Outfielder.
July 27, 200818 yr McPherson is on the 40-man, though. Isn't he? Just checked. He is on the 40-man. Piazza, pick again
July 27, 200818 yr Besides, powerhitting is my thing- it suits me. Piazza ya know. Thanks for clarifying that. I was afraid it was the latent homosexuality or the love of frosted hair on weak armed catchers. :mischief Well, I do want a fu-man-chu and a big power stroke when i'm dishing it out. . Face it, Piazza would be one of the 3 poster boys for baseball in the 90's if it wasnt for steroids by other players. Piazza, Griffey, Arod. am i right? i know there has to be someoen i'm forgettign, but outside of pitchers there were no three better at the plate And Maybins on the 40- why does he get a pass?
July 27, 200818 yr So does Maybin. GSOHOPPERS said he was excluding Maybin from that rule. Why? Not sure. lol But I'm just going by what the rules say.
July 27, 200818 yr well, skippy was taken, and he's the only other guy i'd consider. lets see how it shakes out. im in no hurry and i dont want to hold it up. whatdo the rest of you guys think? i explained my resoning behind it, so i dont see why i should take a child who would go to a happy family otherwise,.
July 27, 200818 yr Just let him take Dallas. Who cares? Because the rules say he can't. And rules are rules.
July 27, 200818 yr Funny how one is quick to cite rules when they work to your advantage. However, I digress. Either way this pans out, the mofo doesn't get Skipworth. He's only trying to claim him to aggravate me.
July 27, 200818 yr Rules are meant to be broken. Gore was elected president. But Bush won. W/e. Btw, im saying i take Dallas until more people either say i keep him or hae to pick again. If i have to pick again, i'll pick from whats left, liek everyoen else. No biggie. I dont GAS about this enough anyway to make a massive "I'm taking my beer and going home post anyway" Chris
July 27, 200818 yr I say the rules should be one way or the other. Either both Maybin and McDallas should eligible or they are bot ineligible.
July 27, 200818 yr Funny how one is quick to cite rules when they work to your advantage. However, I digress. Either way this pans out, the mofo doesn't get Skipworth. He's only trying to claim him to aggravate me. What are you saying, I'm trying to cheat? I don't give a rats a** if he picks Dallas McPherson or Joe Schmoe. But if there are rules, shouldn't we follow them?
July 27, 200818 yr no ones saying your cheating, we just agree that if maybins excluded, why not Dallas? And im saying everybody picks, and i get from whats left if it comes to it.
July 27, 200818 yr no ones saying your cheating, we just agree that if maybins excluded, why not Dallas? I have no idea. That's why I wish GSOHOPPERS was here to clarify this. I don't have any problem with you taking Dallas, I just want to make sure the rules are being followed, as vague as they may be. And im saying everybody picks, and i get from whats left if it comes to it. Ok, sounds good
