He ended up drafting someone who was like 7th or 8th on his list but completely not on my list at all.

The guy went crazy and was unrelenting to Dark Cloud because of an honest mistake. So just to get him to stop, I offered to just swap the picks and take a guy that was never even on my draft list just to get him to chill out.

The other owner ended up finding about 7 other things to complain about in the next season or two and ended up leaving before either player ever made it to the majors. For fun and posterity, I asked for the guy I got to be named "Red Headed Stepchild" since he was the player no one wanted

Because I'm bored and wanted to go over it again here is the thread for anyone interested.
