5.2 C Carlos Santana, CLE

sterlingice · 03-11-2011, 06:41 PM

Oh wait- never mind

I see what happened. Carry on

SI

Danny · 03-11-2011, 06:44 PM

Ramz, SI and I just here, we can get a little run going. Please dont take my player

sterlingice · 03-11-2011, 06:48 PM

Doing some research now so I can take Danny's playe-- er... make my pick

Work's been pretty brutal today so I have had very little time to look at all.

SI

Ramzavail · 03-11-2011, 06:51 PM

5.3 Justin Upton, OF, ARI

Danny · 03-11-2011, 06:54 PM

Don't worry SI, ramz just did :P

Ramzavail · 03-11-2011, 06:54 PM

Danny · 03-11-2011, 06:54 PM

Upton's got some risk, but really good upside for the 5th round. I like both him and the Santana pick as those were two guys near or at the top of my list.

sterlingice · 03-11-2011, 07:19 PM

5.4 SP Cole Hamels, Phi

I'd probably have gone with Zack if not for the whole basketball fiasco

SI

sterlingice · 03-11-2011, 07:29 PM

Yahoo and sheet updated thru 5.04

SI

Danny · 03-11-2011, 07:46 PM

5.5 OF Andre Ethier

Couldn't decide, so I am going with my favorite dodger.

sterlingice · 03-11-2011, 07:58 PM

He was on my short list, too

SI

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-11-2011, 07:58 PM

5.6 P David Price

sterlingice · 03-11-2011, 08:00 PM

You know you're allowed to draft position players, right?

SI

Danny · 03-11-2011, 08:01 PM

Wow, that's five SP in five rounds.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-11-2011, 08:03 PM

Oh!!! I thought you could only pick in order of position numbers! I am filling up my number ones first. Then onwards to the catchers which are the number twos and so forth. A completely original and first of its kind draft approach

cubboyroy1826 · 03-11-2011, 08:50 PM

Gimme a sec guys.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-11-2011, 09:03 PM

5.7 OF Hunter Pence

CleBrownsfan · 03-11-2011, 10:30 PM

5.8 Jacoby Ellsbury LF/CF

Bounce back year?

MizzouRah · 03-11-2011, 10:32 PM

I have soccer all day tomorrow, so I'll PM SI some picks.

Travis · 03-11-2011, 10:53 PM

5.9 - SP - Tommy Hanson - ATL

Suicane75 · 03-12-2011, 12:21 AM

5.10 3B Casey McGehee

Suicane75 · 03-12-2011, 02:04 AM

Really love the Ellsbury pick. One of the very few elite speed guys. I would have snatched him.

Danny · 03-12-2011, 02:22 AM

Not a big deal, but you have Joe Mauer listed as a CF in the draft sheet

PackerFanatic · 03-12-2011, 03:09 AM

McGehee in the 5th? Damn you, Suicane!

Suicane75 · 03-12-2011, 03:46 AM

Like or dislike? I honestly can't decide for myself to be quite honest. I'm torn between borderline top tier 3B or major risk. In the end I guess I'd just rather take this risk than ride out a season with Aramis Ramirez.

Suicane75 · 03-12-2011, 09:41 AM

Wow, looking at ESPN's mock and live draft rankings it would seem I reached about 3 rounds worth there. Eff it.

PackerFanatic · 03-12-2011, 11:05 AM

Truth be told, and as unbias as possible, I think he really could be a top tier 3B. I have seen a lot of numbers comparisons to Longoria (arguably the best at the position) and they are pretty close. You might have gone a couple rounds too high on him, but if you like someone, you gotta get him - ADP be damned

PackerFanatic · 03-12-2011, 11:06 AM

And I am more pissed because I had hoped he would fall one or two more rounds to me

sterlingice · 03-12-2011, 11:12 AM

(from MizzouRah's list)

5.11 3B Adrian Beltre, TEX

Sorry guys, just woke up. Still trying to kick this sinus and ear infection.

SI

PackerFanatic · 03-12-2011, 11:18 AM

5.12 - 2B Rickie Weeks, MIL
6.1 - SP Yovani Gallardo, MIL

Still the ace to me, Yo

sterlingice · 03-12-2011, 11:23 AM

From MizzouRah's list

6.2 SP Dan Haren, LAA

Again, sorry, guys about the long delay this morning. Glad you waited since someone had sent a list since it wouldn't have been fair to him that I missed his pick.

SI

Suicane75 · 03-12-2011, 11:28 AM

6.3 RF Ichiro Suzuki

sterlingice · 03-12-2011, 11:42 AM

Yahoo and sheet updated thru 6.3.

Joe Mauer is also a C now

SI

Travis · 03-12-2011, 11:43 AM

6.4 - SP - Zach Grienke - MIL

MizzouRah · 03-12-2011, 03:35 PM

What's with all the Milwaukee picks?

cubboyroy1826 · 03-12-2011, 06:13 PM

Anyone have a list for Clebrowns? I have to head out at 5:45 and will be gone for a couple hours.

Danny · 03-12-2011, 06:23 PM

I don't think Cle has been on all day, our timer stops for the weekend?

cubboyroy1826 · 03-12-2011, 06:34 PM

I thought we were at 6 hours per the following:

On weekends, we'll just go with a standard 6 hours with no morning/evening provision but let's try to keep things moving.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-12-2011, 06:41 PM

I am outta here I will be back about 8:30 gotta head to the Daddy/Daughter Dance.

Danny · 03-12-2011, 06:59 PM

Ah then Cle should get an auto pick then.

6.5 Chase Utley 2B

Since cubs is out, I think Cle should be allowed to change it if back before Cubs picks, but by the time he is back, it will have been 9 hours which since the rule is 6 is more than enough of a chance.

CleBrownsfan · 03-12-2011, 07:30 PM

Sorry guys... thought I'd be by a computer all day but things didn't go that way. Making pick now.

CleBrownsfan · 03-12-2011, 07:32 PM

6.5 SP Matt Cain

Again, sorry for the delay...

Danny · 03-12-2011, 07:38 PM

Guess that Utley auto pick scared you

cubboyroy1826 · 03-12-2011, 09:28 PM

6.6 SP Jered Weaver

Danny · 03-12-2011, 09:31 PM

Damn, I wanted weaver

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 03-12-2011, 09:46 PM

6.7 Roy oswalt P

cubboyroy1826 · 03-12-2011, 09:49 PM

Sorry guys I forgot to bold my pick so I edited it.

Danny · 03-12-2011, 10:09 PM

6.8 CF Alex Rios

So what happens first, LWSFS taking a hitter or me taking a pitcher?
