At this point, we're in the shallow end of the talent pool. If you think you're going to be without internet for a long period of time, why not submit a short list to someone you trust and have the pick made for you? I gave Heggos two names: Yunesky Maya and Jarrod Parker and he was able to make the Parker pick for me while I was sleeping, enabling the draft to move on. Forget the fact that the next pick took approximately 16 hours to come in, it's the thought that counts.

Really, I feel like the rounds where we're constantly scooping each other and having to watch players we had our eyes on slip off the board are done. If you can come up with a list of three names, I bet that at least one of them (if not all) will make it a good, solid 10+ picks.

No picks in nearly 18 hours. Let's go people. I like a slow draft, but this is getting out of hand. If anyone personally knows who is next, please contact them. Otherwise, if you are next in line, let's see some leap frogging as a punishment.

I'm going to leapfrog right now, I was unclear on what the rule was when the last pick was made after 8pm. Someone mentioned a 12-hour rule, but I wasn't sure about that. But now the six hours is up, so I will pick. It would be nice though if we had some sort of clarification on the 12-hour after hours rule though.

Freezedawg has been on the clock, and he's now eligible to be passed by Gstatejester (with a pick traded from Scrantonicity).

Botched Pick:

In my defense, Pineiro was misspelled "Piniero" on the spreadsheet.

I have FIVE f#*@ing Pittsburgh Pirates, just curious if anyone thought that this may be a winning strategy in fantasy baseball? Anyone? Buehler?

Well, you only took one early, and he's the one to own this year.

I should add that I really hope to get Tabata on the cheap in some other leagues. Walker should be pretty good, but since he's got more hype and plays at a somewhat scarce position, I don't see him being a great value in most drafts.
