Hey all. My 4th round pick is up. I'm out of touch until about 5 or 6pm tonight, but I can pick throughout the weekend.

Flip-flopped a lot with that pick. Raines seemed obvious, but I tried hard to talk myself out of it.

Here and catching up with the picks on the new spreadsheet. Pick will be up Irishly.

If you've just downloaded the Spreadsheet you're OK.

For those folk who downloaded it earlier, I have updated the scoring formulas to reflect the change from Multi +1 to Multi +0.75. Forgot to mention that.

screw...

ElD -- please don't forget to PM me when I'm up, brother.

Nice to see Brock go. Actually had him ranked slightly ahead of Raines, but Raines just fitted my team a bit better. In fairness Raines always fits better. Nice pick.

[heyelander]

oops, apparently I'm 30 late...

How far will Hacko overshoot career K's?

O/U 3000 K's

I thought about taking Brock or Raines last round. There are definitely other speed options out there, but not a ton.

I was seriously contemplating the ratio dump, and just hoped no one else was. If no one was, Ryan would have stumbled back to me for my 4th pick. GD Hacko.

[heyelander]

going into that pick I was hoping Raines would make it back to me, had morgan as my second pick, and was considering wagner and chipper when I missed those. I'm glad I'm right no everyone else's picks, but I don't feel at all good about the two I just made.

Two players I really wanted to select there. Not too sad about grabbing Yount, though, as I think he was decent value there.

I was down to Fisk or Yount and knew whoever I passed on I would not get.

[Long John]

I was kind of hoping Yount would make it back to me, but I'm not upset with having to take Brett in the 5th.

[TS Garp]

Had a difficult time deciding between Yount, Palmeiro, and Sweeney. Taking two catchers this early could backfire on me, but I left them until the end of the last couple of drafts and regretted it.
