Chrome works GREAT on the mini...download it and be happy.

I had already downloaded Chrome, but never used it. Now I have tried twice to use it by updating the draft and it has locked up on me. I am cursed.

Josh Johnson was the other pitcher I was considering when I took Minor, but passed on him and then passed on him two more times(!)

Johnson switching to the AL East makes me a little nervous but I was looking at him as well.

I like the Alonso pick, he was on my short list for this round.

Drew Stubbs.....omg.....never believed I would ever invest in this guy or Dunn....never say never.
I am like a moth to light with the attraction to pwr / speed combo.

Despite the fact there is isn't a spec of empirical evidence suggesting a breakout or improvement in his norm, I believe a change in venue (and Francona) could move this kid forward.

Definitely helps him I think to see the American League. He is always enticing because of that power/speed combo and when he's on -- he is a beast. Wish he could make contact better because that greatness is wasted a little since he strikes out like a maniac and it makes him very streaky. Good explosiveness though.

I thought about Stubbs at my last turn, but I already have a BA killer on my roster in Uggla.

Man, the last 4 picks have kicked me straight in the store...I never thought that all of them would make it back to me, but I thought that ONE of them would. Nice job guys...

I was definitely hoping that Everth would make it to me as I badly need some speed, and he should be able to provide plenty. I should have enough batting average coverage to handle it. I would have much preferred Stubbs had he lasted.

Hell-boy was a value pick. I like his chances to improve upon last year's numbers.

Not sure a 240 lifetime and 30% K rate deserves the word greatness in a description no matter how fast and hard he hits it(insert smiley here if I knew how). I sure hope he turns it into greatness. My Tribe could sure use a Stubbs who reaches his potential.

Our numbers are off again. Will's picks were 11.20 and 12.01. Fantastico's is 12.02.

[KnuckleBalls]

Okay, I found it. :redface-new:

[willthethrill]

Sorry about that. Corrected.

[TS Garp]

Garza and Cozart are both good picks. Looked at each of them but was afraid of a closer run. You have to think so differently in a 20 team league, especially when you pick near the beginning or end of a round.

[Frank]

Yeah I feel fortunate Cozart was still in the pool as I thought the was long gone.
I believe Cozart could be undervalued by our league this year....I guess we will see.

LMAO - kind of like finding an Easter egg, I was looking to grab Reddick last round - felt a little stupid when I found he was taken way back in the 7th...Aint this fun.......??

[TS Garp]

Quite a bit of speed came off the board in the last few picks. Curious to see what that does to values going forward.
