Damn. The Astros almost made it to me.

Ok we'll go in a different direction and go for some power:

OF George Foster Cinn

Reds are off the board

Sent my proxy to rbow923, among others.

I've got it as well.

Page one updated.

schwarze's proxy is void. He'll pick when he gets home later tonight.

Matt Kemp Dodgers

*Now* the Dodgers are off.

Padres off the board before a single Dodger has been selected.

Vegas odds of that happening  5000 to 1

This is the first time Peavy has been unprotected for the first round.

WTF? Padres never get selected, let alone off the Board in the 1st Round!!!! Ouch Twfan need more of those great drugs before reality sets in and I realize we selected Kingery over protecting Caminiti and Peavy

See above.

Also, before this leg Caminiti had been exposed twice and picked in the first round one of those times.  So, it's 2 out of 3 times now.

Indians select Kevin Brown from the Dodgers.

Dodgers are off the board.

Can someone sitemail for me?

Damn.  If I'd been around for my 4:30 pick I would have been sorely tempted to take Brown instead of the 2b the Red Sox need.

And I'm still wondering what pitchers alley(none of the available pitchers excites me with the #1 pick)viper was hoping would be available, if Brown and Peavy were not sufficiently enticing.

My guess is this is the first time Trammell will play for someone other than the Tigers.

Your guess is correct, but it's not the first time he's been exposed.  In Leg 32, Robin4 did not protect him for Round 1 but he made it through, and then he was pulled back before Round 2. 

Barry Larkin was the only shortstop taken in Round 1 that leg. Nomar was not available, and Rico made it through the first round (1 of 3 times that's happened -- he was picked in Round 2 all 3 of those times).

Spoiled for choice with a few teams left on the board that I wasn't expecting - I'll go with Pete Rose - Cin.

The last 3 times the player in question was taken in Round 1 (though not the last 3 times he was available), he was taken by shaybee.

Well when guys like Lowe, Lincecum, Mets Pedro, Millwood (obviously unavailable) and others aren't terribly uncommon to be available in the first, someone like that would have been nice.

Also, this is a theme that has a history of extremely strange things happening. Michael Schmidt, Wade Boggs, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench...I hoped I could get a little bit of that luck on my side this leg.
