Great pick with Snyder, Pervin. I definitely have interest in him.

Both the Snider (I think it's spelled with an 'i') and Moustakas picks were great. They were the next 2 guys on my board. Prick.

Snider was the other guy I passed up for McCutchen.

Moose should be a nice MI in a couple years. Love him at pick #17 overall (well, #16 considering ARods got skipped.

I hope he stays in either the SS or 2B spot. I heard he projects as a solid C as well. I have a feeling Brandon Wood will be moved to 3b eventually.

So, now that my 2 prime picks were taken, and I notice that all of my remaining minor leaguers are pitchers, I'm thinking this next pick will be a reach.

How do you get skipped in the 1st round? I've give my 3rd nut for a pick in this round. James better get his head on a swivel, you get buried in a league like this doing that shit.

yea, I hear he's somewhat 'round' and lacks the mobility to play ss. we shall see...i don't see him taking a. gordons spot at 3b. I guess alex could end up a 1b though. My strategy was to draft some INF bats early...not too many legit 2b sticks.

Yeah, I realized I really screwed up there way too late. when i was making my milb list and i saw ur team i was like holy poopers, no wade davis. i honestly hoped everyone would just assume u kept him and i was gunna try to work a trade for a later round pick, lol. but hey it happens to us all. I'm new to the prospect game so when I looked at project prospect & scoutingbook (the only 2 up to date prospect rankings I could find), I saw him at #39 & #61. Niemann (6-9 & 260 LB with a 99 mph FB) seemed very interesting when I read an interview of his. Now, Davis is on everybody's top 20 prospect rankings & I feel like a boob. |

I love Baseball America, Baseball Prospectus, MiLB.Scout.com, and a number of other sites. Scouting Book is more or less a compilation-based ranking system as it spans across a number of resources, including ESPN.
Hell, I even try to read up on some Bill James if I get a chance.
Speaking of which, Lee, B-J has the most outlandish 2008 projection for your boy Bruce - huge numbers.

I guess I'll come back to draft my 2nd round pick after my fetus is born in 8 months.

He may have a beard before the next pick.
I feel bad for ARods. He logs on to take his final MLB pick and fails to see he's on the clock for MiLB, being skipped a lot.

Anyone else down with reducing the time limit to 4 hours? I know we voted already, but this seems to be taking way longer than it needs to. Especially with people waiting out trade offers.

I think waiting a little time is better than being skipped. Nobody should be getting skipped. If for whatever reason you can't figure when you're going to be here, give a short list to Mack or someone who doesn't pick before you do. |

If for whatever reason you can't figure when you're going to be here, give a short list to Mack or someone who doesn't pick before you do. When there's 10-12 picks in a day, and you're gone all day at work or school, it's hard to get a list to someone. Especially when those picks might show trends that you might like to capitalize on. And anyway it's already been voted on, so it doesn't matter what we say. Over 1 month until the season starts. We got plenty of time. |

I've got a monster paper/presentation on Gary Snyder and his influences due on Wednesday, and because of my Grandma's funeral, tomorrow is really the only day I have to work on it. Argh. Tough week for me guys, I've enjoyed the distraction of taking it out on Buckner, and maybe making a few questionable trades.
Being distracted by fantasy baseball? Priceless.

Someone couldn't have picked him like 10 picks ago?
I had to wait 3 years to fucking pick and he gets taken right before I pick?
I'm quitting. Serbs can give my team to his moustache.

Now that Gonzalez has been picked, every player I was targeting with the 28th pick is gone.
Not cool fellas!
