      I cant do that from mobile. I'll fix that when I get home. I'll make a reminder post in the draft thread.

        You down with OBP? Yeah, you know me. Who's down with OBP? Every last VD!

            I'll not be able to pick until I get home.

              Pick is super obvious I feel, but I wanna have a look first.

                Wasn't as obvious as first seemed.

                  I think there's a pretty good argument for Cobb as the #1 overall pick. The 1910s are rough for hitters and that Cobb guy is pretty okay. Perhaps better in a BA setup, but still...

                    I tried to make an argument for a pitcher in my head, but the jump to OBP boosts Ted above any of them for me.

                      Is anyone else surprised how often guests browse this forum? There were 11 guests browsing right now. Do we have closet fans? Do people root against the robot as they root against other dynasties? Are people making Amish jokes to their friends who just roll their eyes?

                        I have wondered that, too.

                        My guess is that the "guests" are either VD participants who aren't logged in, or robot crawlers from search engines. Not sure how those would show up. But yeah, 11 guests seems way to high for either of those. Maybe an occasional RJ regular but non-VD participant wanders into the forum when they aren't logged in, but that seems unlikely to happen very much.

                          Not sure if it is the new host or what exactly, but I'm not able to stay logged in consistently now. Almost every time I make a comment I have to re-login. Which suggests that much of my browsing now shows up as Guest? It is odd.

                            Yeah, this issue coincides with the strange counts for people viewing the forum. Yesterday we had 20 people vieiwing

                              yesterday we had 20 people viewing our forum and then it dropped to 1 or 2 a few minutes later. Strange happenings afoot.

                              Back to VD13 discussion, it's looking a lot like VD10 will be interesting to see the first surprise picks and if they relate to rules changes

                                Yeah no brainer with BA ... he's OK with OBP, which made it less of an auto pick.
