Buxton, I love your team, you have drafted so many guys I had lined up in this draft.

Thanks Ryan. You snatched a few guys right out from under me too. We might have to explore trade possibilities at some point..

True.

22.2 Dbisbee (via text) selects: Garrett Jones, OF, 1B, PIT

In case anyone is wondering, I received a text from Dbisbee in advance of Davis's post, but I was unable to post the pick. I asked Davis if he was ok with me deleting his post and selecting the requested player for Dbisbee- Davis was a good sport and approved the request.

I hate myself for this, but I'm willing to trade draft picks. I want to move up. Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?

I wonder who Josh wants badly enough to resort to trade draft picks. He'd better be pretty hot. And fully worthy of the Vogel love.

With pick 23.13, Scrantonicity selects: Michael Young, 3B/1B, PHI

I drafted him in the 13th round. Definitely second guessing the pick now though, since he is being considered 10 rounds later.

He does count at 2B though this year, so he'll likely get the bulk of his playing time there along with Scutaro and Daniel Murphy, my other light hitting super eligible utility guys.

21.4 Jhoulys Chacin Col

Dylan always loved the Jewelz

I had never heard that before.

It's not good, really but much better than I thought it would be.

There was a year in college when this song was played by Winter Kryptonite at every party and drinking get together. I must say that whenever I hear the original song that it samples (Last Night the DJ saved my life) I think that they are incorrectly singing the lyrics.

Its Boogie Time.

23.17 Dbisbee selects (via text): Justin Ruggiano, OF, MIA

I delayed way too long on taking him, nice pick.

[heggos]

24.9 yankeeManiac selects Lorenzo Cain, 11 rounds after first seriously considering him.

Taken at 13.1. Both Michael Young and Cain came up when I entered their names in "Search Topic."

If you think you're getting a steal this late, do a search to make sure.

EDIT: Good catch, Amato. But my PSA for "search this topic" still holds.

Control + F on the spreadsheet is another great method for checking your pick before blundering.

Control F is what I usually do, but I can't do that from my phone. The "search topic" feature is extraordinary. I can't believe I never saw that. I'm bummed that I'm gonna have to wait until 2014 to use it. (I only have 1 pick left, and there's no way this guy is on any of your radars).
