Round 17-Jeff Kent, 1992 for Cal-1990 on.

I've never played here before- and i apologize to my homerun guys like Jackson, Sosa, and kluwzweski... But the Ball Slappers will be making their home in Ohio in the "PALACE OF THE FANS"

Italyprof's technical interpretation will be acceptable to me. Yet I do see sooners07 was posting this morning right after I made my 16th round pick and I don't understand why he didn't just take McGraw then.  This is an easy enough draft format and we really shouldn't take advantage of that. I happen to work overnights so my picks will usually range over a 10 - 12 hour period but I do make them in a timely fashion. I believe having some kind of routine daily 24 hour morning timeline works best for everyone and honestly owners who habitually don't make timely picks deserve to catch a lot of grief from those of us who do....

.......The odd thing now is that I've always hated the Designated Hitter but I'm going to take our man Edgar anyway.
New  York  -  1987  Edgar Martinez   3B / 1B / DH

Edgar ! The nightmare of Yankees fans. Great hitter though, no doubt and technically a sort of 3B. 

Dnmchill...considering I made my pick well within the time allowed, I don't know what to say. Look at my team. I didn't take McGraw because you did. I didn't trade up without having a player in mind. I have so many hitters and his OBP fits perfectly.

Don't give me **** for being a little slow on my picks. I posted right after you but that is pure coincidence. Like I said I traded for that pick for a reason, McGraw knew how to get on base

Hurray ! I am finally done grading papers for today (quizzes to grade much of tomorrow). Time for 1) a well-earned ice pop, 2) a beer, 3) baseball, 4) watching a movie while playing baseball online. 

Woo-hoo ! 

ARE YOU KIDDING!!....Hey look... I 'm trying to use a bit of tact. I don't remember exactly what your explanation was a few months ago when you just skipped out in the middle of  an initial draft like this for days......

Please let it go, dudes....

Yes, please.

From Old California - Tiny Bonham, P - 1940

With my New England pick... Jimmy Ryan OF (1886)

and with my Texarkana pick... Joe Horlen P (1962)

1885 Harry Stovey - 1B/OF   Pennsylvania
This guy is too good to pass up for a 17th round pick.
 

Oh yeah, there is another one of those 19th century guys. We will have a good look at how those players do in this league. Stovey is a good pick.
