I think it sets a bad precedent that you changed your avatar back.

you just got auto'd like 5 seconds ago.

That's fine. Not a huge deal guys. It's not like its a top 5 pick which would cripple me. Just had a crazy day at work yesterday evening and today. Appreciate the help/assistance from everybody here.

I'll load it up now for my sandwich pick. Thank goodness this is my last year working like this though!

Our long national nightmare is almost over. Now we can be friends again.

Draft is turning into an ugly thing. I love it!

Lack of picks makes for a certain lack of interest. Some give me picks

Although how many fricking picks does Pittsburgh have

5 in the first 25. I have my list set with two guys so as soon as the Bats pick mine will fire. Then you are up Dave.

I will say the guy that HAL auto picked for me is not bad at all. A solid 2B with the chance to be a run-producer is hard to come by in this league. I didn't think this draft had a lot of upper tier talent so I can't complain!

We waited for this? For this?!

I want out of this draft completely. PM me - I have hurricane related issues. You can probably get a great deal. I have cell service for now so can check PMs.

1.10 - SP Zachary Koenemann
Lefty. 70% groundball. 5-7-4. Given up 8 HR in 268 innings. Great intangibles.

1.17 - SP Manny Salas
Lefty. 98 MPH. 5-6-5. Struck out 266 in 226 innings. Very good intangibles.

I didn't spend a lot of time with this years draft but I'm excited about both of these lefty SP prospects. However, the players selected at #11 and #18, right after these picks, were the next guys on my board. Which isn't reassuring.

PIT fired immediately after WAS (probably not the first time) and the Champs are on the clock.

Deciding between The Sheriff and Molina, and of course Molina goes with the pick right after mine. Oh well. Can never have enough good bullpen arms and while Molina was the best SP available on my board, we opted for BPA instead of drafting for "need."
