Draft talk.

So Amato's trade announcement for Jeter post, complete with a Recine ESPN interview discussing how he has to have Jeter on every fantasy team pretty much rules everything. No one (no matter how hard they try) is going to top that gem.

Was that an ESPN interview for real? Or was it a personal creation made to look like an ESPN interview? Either way, 7 kinds of awesome.

It was real. It was on ESPN the Magazine's website. 2008.

Remind me again why a 4 hour window for picks seemed so unreasonable? Because these long breaks from this thing are brutal. I really do believe the vocal minority won that argument.

I'm sure Mike will pick as soon as he wakes up (in Switzerland), but this is the price we pay for going global.

Also, I'm sure I'll have some gaps later in the draft when I'm dealing with a newborn in the next few weeks. So, your patience is much appreciated.

Hey, at least I was one of the vocal minority - for the exact same reason that just came up. Again, sorry for the logjam, but I didn't expect the four picks ahead of me to happen in the first two hours I was asleep. Whenever it's less than that, I've been submitting my lists to Vogel or Heggos.

Really, if it screws up anybody, it's probably me. I think I would have rather gone with Ortiz and waited on Ackely, but it's tough to really check it out while on a smartphone, hiding in the bathroom at 6am trying not wake your girlfriend up. Nice pick, Freeze.

Sa-weet. Very well done. Are they're any other league members on it, or just you?

8.6 Carlos Beltran - OF - St. Louis Cardinals

And in case you hadn't heard about Beltran going to the Cards, here is some hard-hitting analysis:

Watching that video literally caused me physical pain.

I couldn't make it through.

Breakneck Gouda Wiretap is my new team name.

I just want to draft before I go to sleep, is that too much to ask?

Wake up and pick already. What is it over there? 6:30am? What are you waiting for?

The picks by round spreadsheet fell a little behind, so I happily updated it. I felt like it may come in handy as we're getting to that point soon when you may want to do a little Ctrl + F before your picks.

Oh, and please check your picks for accuracy, especially if you were involved in a ridiculous, unnecessary, or overly complicated trade.

and dont forget that you can always clearly see who the next managers on the clock are by clicking on the Draft picks by # spreadsheet. I update it at the end of every day and take into account the draft pick trades. I have also added a new column to show the round and pick number, so that way it is easy to correspond with the draft board.

Does anyone who is within 5 picks of me want to trade up? We will swap 9th round picks Additionally, I will be looking for your pick on the way back (10th round) in exchange for my 10th round pick on the way back. Also I will want your 12th round pick for mine and your 14th round pick for mine.

You have a PM in your box

10.5 Kyle Farnsworth, RP, Tampa Bay Didn't really want a third RP here but I was looking at Farnsworth three rounds ago.

You should read this article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/5724 ... -tampa-bay

Likening Farnsworth to a fanny pack was reason enough for me to pick him. I like this pick a lot.
