Thank you SI!

8.9 Mariano Rivera - RP

[Toddzilla]

Ugh - I wanted Posada, but for the first time in the entire draft I was snaked by the pick before me, and I didn't want to take a pitcher in the top-10 rounds. Bah.

[Sublime 2]

Crap so we're on my pick (8.11) not 8.10 right? I kept checking on my phone but thought I was still waiting for someone to pick...my bad guys...

8.11 Mike Lowell 3B

[Toddzilla]

You're right - someone above me didn't number their pick, so mine is mis-numbered. Sorry.

thanks for putting all this effort in!

I've just been lucky that, Thursday night aside, we had our slowest week in months this past week. Next week, I won't be so fortunate as I'll be in training Thursday and Friday so I won't be able to check as often then, depending on how the training goes.

[MizzouRah]

9.2 Jason Bay LF

I've had him on my short list for quite some time.. I think it's definitely a sleeper pick as he's bound to have a better year this year than last year.

I've had him on my short list for quite some time.. I think it's definitely a sleeper pick as he's bound to have a better year this year than last year.

Not sure what happened last year, but 2 years ago he was a very good player, just hoping last year was an anomaly.
