[Mar 23 2013, 1:55 PM] admin: Adam Jones 29 Erickson
[Mar 23 2013, 1:56 PM] admin: Kinsler 28 Shandler
[Mar 23 2013, 1:57 PM] admin: Kipnis 28 Siano
[Mar 23 2013, 1:57 PM] bkopman: Kipnis price seems high
[Mar 23 2013, 1:57 PM] admin: Jose Reyes. How high?
[Mar 23 2013, 1:58 PM] admin: Reyes 31 Leibowitz
[Mar 23 2013, 1:58 PM] Nittanychris: Agreed Kipnis is too high, with Pedroia at 29

[Mar 23 2013, 1:59 PM] admin: John Lester 20 Colton/Wolf

[Mar 23 2013, 2:08 PM] admin: Frieri 9 Shandler
[Mar 23 2013, 2:08 PM] KaaashMan: There’s so much Lawrie love even after burning people bad last year, confuses me.
[Mar 23 2013, 2:08 PM] Save_The_Beard: upside
[Mar 23 2013, 2:08 PM] Save_The_Beard: in a great lineup
[Mar 23 2013, 2:08 PM] KaaashMan: he had that last year.

[Mar 23 2013, 2:47 PM] admin: J Saltalamacchia 11 Sheehan
[Mar 23 2013, 2:47 PM] admin: What was better about the old one?
[Mar 23 2013, 2:48 PM] admin: Trumbo 21 Berry
[Mar 23 2013, 2:48 PM] mpane21: I disagree. I like this chat program much better. Also, great admin work!
[Mar 23 2013, 2:48 PM] lanceluther: could scroll all the way back to the beginning of the draft- it was bigger too
[Mar 23 2013, 2:49 PM] admin: Berkman 11 Leibowitz

[Mar 23 2013, 2:51 PM] lanceluther: That helps… but last year I was able to read the commentary the day after the draft. Mike Lombrado always has pearls of wisdom.
[Mar 23 2013, 2:51 PM] mpane21: There is also great work being done keeping the Google doc with updated rosters and prices. So you can also use that as a reference for auction history.
[Mar 23 2013, 2:51 PM] admin: Lance, the text will be posted tomorrow.
[Mar 23 2013, 2:51 PM] admin: Plouffe 15 Colton Wolf

[Mar 23 2013, 2:53 PM] admin: Waddle on over here, says Berry.
[Mar 23 2013, 2:53 PM] admin: Erickson: When they said you need an anchor I’m not sure that’s what they meant.
[Mar 23 2013, 2:54 PM] admin: Berry: I feel his gravitational pull.
[Mar 23 2013, 2:54 PM] admin: Adam Dunn 14 Shandler
[Mar 23 2013, 2:55 PM] admin: Eric Aybar 19 Michaels
[Mar 23 2013, 2:56 PM] lanceluther: interesting to see similarities and differences with LABR

[Mar 23 2013, 3:01 PM] admin: Derek Holland 11 Siano

[Mar 23 2013, 3:02 PM] admin: Melky Cabrera 22 Moyer
[Mar 23 2013, 3:03 PM] admin: There is trading, but it is not crazy.
[Mar 23 2013, 3:03 PM] admin: Matt Moore 19 Collette
[Mar 23 2013, 3:04 PM] admin: C Iannetta 6 Berry
[Mar 23 2013, 3:05 PM] lanceluther: I am curious to see when Lawr will start spending for power
[Mar 23 2013, 3:05 PM] admin: Youkilis 13 Lawr Michaels
[Mar 23 2013, 3:06 PM] lanceluther: still waiting…
