Anyone available for me to hand a two player list to? I'm only going to be around for the next hour and then I'm out until probably 10pm or later tonight

This may be a bit of a reach but I'm not touching Wright or Zimmerman with a 10 foot pole this year.

Ok, that's a bummer. Was hoping to make my pick tonight and let someone else do early morning or overnight but it looks like we'll have to wait until morning for my pick

I'm pretty sure I'll get him since the person picking before me said they wouldn't touch him with a 10' pole. I'll give you a hint: he rhymes with Flyin Swimmerman and is one Joe Mauer away from an infield composed entirely of paper mache

Sorry- just couldn't stay up any more last night. I try to get to sleep by 11. Even with the tourney and being out, midnight is more or less the limit as I have to get up at 6.

Phew...I was really worried, because my gf's modem died, and she has no cell phone signal at her place (needs a booster that needs the modem).

I thought about Cain at my last pick too. He's as consistent as they get.

I am surprised by how high he is going in drafts, but I think he is going to be a great player. So then I guess I shouldn't be surprised then

Was hoping I'd be able to take him a few rounds later, but that close to the top of the yahoo ranks left me a bit uneasy to trust that he'd make it through another 12 picks before I'd get another shot at him. A bit of a reach but with his upside I feel okay taking the gamble.

Just might have to play it safe for a few rounds now

So I was going through the picks, just looking at player names and pick numbers, and entering these into Yahoo and I didn't even have to look at which team made this pick
