I will start the run on hitting with Barry Bonds (OF)

Addie Joss

Not sure how Addie Joss fell so far. I'll take Eddie Cicotte.

I know.  I would've taken Joss in the top 5... and of course, he goes one pick before me.

It was either joss or Walsh...apparently all my teams will lose 100 games now...

Walsh is an excellent choice - but Joss falling to #11 really shocked me.

Sorry for holding you up boys. I just started a new job and I'm working 17 hour days to get oriented. It sucks being the new guy. Anyway, I usually like to go hitting when I'm down this far in a draft, but I'm afraid of ending up with Ryan Dempster as my No. 1 starter. So I'll take one of my old favorites....

I had Joss in the 6th-8th best pitcher range.

OK, Ronblood is up with the 6pm pick but he has not opened any of the sitemails about the league starting.  I like to think he will make his pick today.  However, if he is a no-show, if he bails, I don't want that pick to be skipped.  It will be unreasonable for someone to take over a team if they missed the first round pick.

So - Stay tuned, if Ronblood bails, I will hold up the draft for a replacement.  We'll see, thank you for your patience.

If we have a replacement today, we will continue, uninterrupted, stay tuned.

OK, I have a replacement, Ybjsports.  He is taking Ronblood's spot.  However, ybjsports is traveling and it would tough making picks during the day, so and he has asked if he could pick last to accommodate his travel schedule.  Barracuda3 has graciously agreed to swap positions.

SO - draft is on schedule, on the clock, and Barracuda3 can make the 6pm pick as soon as he likes.

Sounds good.  My pick:

Roger Clemens

Frank Smith
