    I was on a hiding to nothing here ... someone was going to complain one way or the other. From my point of view, the middle is the least intrusive, and least controversial.

    I suppose I could have done something like put them randomly between slots 4 and 12 ...but why 4 and 12 and not 3 and 13, or 5 and 11? I can't win on this one.

      Just seemed odd to see LJ stay at his spot and both of them slotted in front of me. I'll live and it won't determine how badly I do in the draft, I will take care of that on my own.

          I hear you -- don't feel bad. I don't think anyone gets a distinct advantage or disadvantage. And given how slowly this seems to be taking off, any extra delays would not be wise.

                Sorry for the delay... had to deal with the disappointment of RR selecting Babe Ruth again after teasing me with the promise of a 3rd different #1 pick...

                    You want 8th, you can have it. I don't really care either way. As long as I'm not picking last every other round and not picking in the other rounds.
                    Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                      DMT doesn't care for me, so he's delaying on purpose so I get blamed.

                              Well, we can only assume:

                                If anyone wants to trade draft positions, I'm fine with dropping down.
