Mock #1 Discussion

Like the Thome and Sale picks at this point. As many have said, it seems like everyone has their eyes on a couple guys at this point just hoping they will manage to slide. But then the sharks attack and the list is wiped out.

No worries. It doesn't look like we'll get to your pick any time soon.

FYI, Dan Johnson does not qualify at 1B (13 games last year), so he's a DH only. Not sure if that makes him an illegal pick for ITC.

Yahoo is showing him as not only 1B, but 3B as well

Johnson appeared in 40 games for the Rays last year. Defensively, he was in 13 games at 1B, 6 at 3B, and 3 in LF.

The first post in the Draft Thread says that eligibility is based on 15 Games Played last season, or the position played most if no position had 15. Since Johnson played 17 at DH, 13 at 1B, 6 at 3B, and 3 in the OF, I think he only qualifies as DH for the draft.

Ha and my pick was within minutes of ITC. So it's been really slow going.

Do we not take the minor leagues into consideration for someone who played the majority games there?

I think minor league games played by position would only be used to determine position of a player who is expected/drafted for 2011 but had no MLB games played in 2010.

Sure wish there was more action on the draft thread this week!!!!!!!

I would also think that would only be for someone with no MLB games.

Has SilentMist officially timed out?

[BuckyBuckner]

That's fine with me. I was just wondering. It's also never stated in our rules for drafting purposes, but I have no problem with whatever answer. Maybe in the future we should say if a player doesn't play 15 games at any one position in the majors we can use minor league positions.

Yes, according to my watch, he timed out about 30 minutes ago.
