I'll pay:

4.24 (3)

8.24 (7)
9.24 (8)
10.24 (9)
11.24 (10)

For another pick in the next 3-6

Just waiting for the trade to be confirmed. I'm on auto-pick from my list for this one.

Got the guy I wanted. Rodrigues was the #2 position player on my board. My scout (perhaps drunkenly) thinks he's a franchise player.

Ughhh! You fucker! My scout liked him also. Oh well

BTW- Nice pick.

Suck it, clown!

Suck it, clown!

I really thought this kid might slip.

[Z]

Me too, but I didn't want to take the chance. He's worth the few extra picks to me.

[Clay]

I'm too lazy to do the research... have we ever gone 32 picks without a Catcher?

[Dave]

Looking for an extra pick this round. Will move multiple picks, including my 3rd rounder.

[Carlos]

The utility makes it hard to check because it mixes up the rounds now. Unless someone knows a quick way to read it so I know what I'm looking at.

Dammit Delandis. Katsura is good.

No.

Previous record was 30 picks, in 1983. California took the immortal Malek Garane with the 30th overall pick.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like in 1990 we went until pick 41 without a catcher, until Philly took Shawn Bowen. That's the one spreadsheet I don't have.

Baltimore selects:

Sadahura Katsura from Japan.

My scout gave him a glowing review. He's pretty well developed for an 18 year old and put up serious numbers in Japan. If he gets a bit stronger and can work on that change-up a bit, he'll be pretty good. I'm thinking a good #3 or #4 when he's ready for the bigs.

[Matt]

It says the next pick is due in 2 days...do we get Sunday off?

[Delandis]

Dammit Delandis. Katsura is good.

Just another international who'll crap out.

There is one other guy that I couldn't decide on that I expect to be taken very soon. Would be a great player in Baltimore, but I couldn't pass on the pitching.
