With my first pick, I select:

Luke Hochevar, SP, KCR

[Big_E]

BTW, Please check rosters before making a pick.

There's no guarantee my list is 100% accurate, but there are no placeholders in the league, so a simple search should be ok, for now.

[Big_E]

Wow...we are really flying here!

[Mark19]

Wow...we are really flying here!

A-Team gets skipped at noon?

[Big_E]

A-Team gets skipped at noon?

They should.

Did you PM him that he was on the clock?
I sent a reminder this morning.

[Mark19]

They should.

Did you PM him that he was on the clock?
I sent a reminder this morning.

I screwed up.
I didn't see the last line about PMing the next person in line.
Sorry about that.

[yanksphan]

Robby missed his turn in the other league as well. I think he might be temp AWOL...

[gdn]

almost missed this thread!

[Big_E]

I screwed up.
I didn't see the last line about PMing the next person in line.
Sorry about that.

In that case, to be fair, I will give him until after the Seder tonight to make his pick.

That would have given him ample enough time, esp since I said the mL draft would begin when the season started, to make his pick.

[Big_E]

GHR714 on the clock...

[gdn]

FYI, in case the next two picks are made this morning/early afternoon, I won't be around to make mine until at least late afternoon.

[ruthianblast]

Tim Lincecum SP SFG

[Mark19]

people need to be more diligent or this is going to take all month

[yanksphan]

Some of these mLers might by MLers by the time this is done...

I emailed Kev about his pick being up.

[Big_E]

Evan Longoria, 3B, Tampa Bay

I couldn't believe he lasted this long -- he was going to be my pick.

[Big_E]

Andrew McCutchen, OF

[Clive]

Adam Miller, SP, Cleveland

EDIT - pick made at 8:06 PM

[Snatch Catch]

Just because:

Dellin Betances, SP, NYY

I was debating between Longoria and Wood for my first pick, and leaning towards Longoria, but Wood's potential to hit 40+ HR eventually drugged me.

[gdn]

I'm here, my pick, but I have to run out. I'll be back in a bit to make my pick. Won't take me 24 hours, I promise.

[gdn]

My next pick:

Thank you to everyone for making this run smoothly.

[Snatch Catch]

I can pick up a minor leaguer to replace Hughes, no?

[Big_E]

Yes..

[Snatch Catch]

Can you create Joba Chamberlain for me, please?

[Big_E]

Can you create Joba Chamberlain for me, please?

I am pretty sure his parents did that over 20 years ago.

...but I can create a placeholder for you...
