Shit, got wife waylaid! Still gonna pick.

[Bene Futuis]

Wow, I can really be a kingmaker here. I just might fuck someone over unintentionally. I'm about to pick what I think gives me the most points but there are two players with four options that are all extremely close to one another. I did a five second projection for frae and Ken that I'm sure is wrong. Well, here goes (and congrats to the person I may have just crowned lol).

[Bene Futuis]

Also shoulda gone with Erstad and N pitcher instead of Ellsworth or whatever the fuck his name is and N hitter. Easy to say now, much harder a couple rounds ago.

Tried to find a way to move up more but the best choice for me was Bond with the low ERA/WHIP BY instead of the wins. At one point when I guessed on Bene taking Nevin I saw a way to tie Johnny and CJ by taking Al Spalding but it would not have been the best point total for me so I wasn't going to do it but it would have been hysterical to see a tie. Congrats to both of them on a great draft.

[Controller Jacobs]

Don't know who won, but I know made a huge error passing 3 times on John Ward. Didn't track oef, and didn't note that the Plank and Maddux combo meant the extra BY strikeouts were acutely important

Looks like you nudged me for 3rd after the final pick...even though I had you by 7.5 points in additive scoring. And CJ almost got to join me in the "winners until the final pick club" but johnny vaulted back ahead after frae's pick. Congrats fellas.

Congrats johnny

Ha! I was right! I had you with Erstad and Vladimir Nunez.

We were the two who got caught out on OEF. I saw that at the beginning--11 great players and garbage, and somehow still let it happen to me.

Yup, as did I. Not sure which turned out better.

[cavebird]

Congrats to Johnny---well executed plan, and nothing is better than tanking two categories and getting 6 points in both of them anyway. Well done to Controller Jacobs and Feral as well.

[cavebird]

Yup, as did I. Not sure which turned out better.

Our projection does---it gives him a couple of points and he passes you for fifth.

I tried to hand it to you picking Hampton. Dan Haren would have got me 4 more points.
