And the run on SP's continue. I almost went with a 3rd SP myself, but couldn't pass up Morneau that late.

Sorry, this one's on me. CleBrownsfan sent me a list this morning but I haven't been at my desk all day. We've got 75 servers to install today so I'm pretty sure I won't be around all afternoon, either.

6.2 2B Brian Roberts

I like the Roberts pick, Kendrick, not so much, too early for him.

Except for the fact Kendrick will hit for a higher average, score more runs, hit more homers, and drive in more runs, what about the pick don't you like?

Too early for Kendrick. Roberts is a good pick if he stays healthy.

average difference is canceled out by Roberts better OBP. Roberts will score more runs and steal many more bases. Roberts also should equal Kendrick's HR and RBI totals overall.

Doesn't seem like it, but he had great numbers last year.

Look how quickly I made my pick. Follow my example little ones

Alright, he is risky pick and another met, but he is the only one I can think of from my list and I don't want to hold things up. Plus he has high upside.

Sorry, was afk. I have the last name on your list if you want it

EDIT: Never mind. You only sent one name to me for your last list so it's pretty short. The last name on your list is "Justin Morneau". Darn, he's already picked. You'll have to go with someone else

Not a big fan, but he's gone by one too many times to pass up

Updated thru 6.11 on Yahoo and in thread

Tomorrow morning, I will turn commish over temporarily to Ramzavail so he can update the draft board as I will have very limited chances to check tomorrow. I'll take it back Thursday morning and it shouldn't be an issue through the rest of the draft.

Looks like the clock change passed with no objections. The clock will now run from 8am CT until 10am CT (as opposed to ET). The deadline for 9am CT vs 10am CT the next morning will now be 9pm CT. The rules have been updated to reflect this change.

I messaged samifan24 as he's due up. As the pick was made after the 9pm deadline, his next pick is due at 10am CT (or 11am ET).

I was hoping to get my pick in but I need to get going. I'll be able to check in a couple of hours and if my pick isn't up, then I'll pass a list along to someone (anyone planning on being around for the next couple of hours)?

I've switched commish over to Ramzavail. Just toss it back over sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.

7.2 1B Derrek Lee, ChC

It was between a couple of "Lee"s for me- Derrek or Carlos. Manny and Ichiro were the names I kept churning over and couldn't pull the trigger on. And there's a whole slew of pitchers but I've already picked up 2 so, with Butler gone and Berkman hurt, I think Lee's the last really good 1B on the board

It just seems like a really deep draft this year. How a guy who hit 300 with 30 hrs or so drops to the seventh round is unreal. I know he is older and maybe people are afraid of him falling off, but still! Good pick SI
