Someone like Romero paying off at this point in the draft is what could bring home the gold. Did he really go 2.97 ERA/ 1.14 WHIP only two years ago?

Yup, just as he went 5.77 ERA/1.674 last year. His walk rate was WAY higher last year, and his K rate was down by a bit. My guess is that you'll see somewhere in between, maybe a 4.25/1/35 guy who won't kill you...not half bad in the 20th round.

I was thinking about him for several rounds now. Nice pick. Only thing was his increased BB rate really. If the lines were 4 and 1.35, I would put money on under.

Was the pick Fantastico posted for JC?

I PM'd him after he posted. He told me I was up, so I think that the pick was in error.

I also pm'd Famtastico after he picked and told him to delete it. Joncarlos is up till around 755 pm ET.

Thanks for assist during this long draft. It has been helpful since my co-commish did not return this year.

[joncarlos]

No it wasn't. I'm here now, updating my list and then I'll pick/.

Nice Grabs on Albuquerque and Gregerson Steve - You decimated my reserve wish list..
I believe if Albuquerque can maintain his health he could be closing by late May.....Gregerson is Nails nro.

Thanks bud, I pretty well missed out on the closer runs, partially by choice, partially because I didn't want to reach for one. So I went for high K relievers who have a shot at getting some saves, or at least helping me in 3 cats.

I liked the Dominguez pick. I was hoping he'd make the reserve rounds.

Frank timed out half an hour ago, mgwizz on the clock.

My thoughts on the order of the draft.
It is a big advantage to have an early pick. We have an odd number of reserves and use the same order for choosing reserves. This is unfair to those of us who have a late selection. I believe that a better way to handle this is to reverse the order of choosing the reserves or at the very least have an even number of reserves.

If we can do it without messing up the existing Yahoo league too much, I think adding another round makes sense. That puts a little more emphasis on the draft and a little less on free agency. Plus we are making good progress.
