To keep thins moving I've asked Oldtimer to make the pick for vilefileman.

I will post his pick at 2 pm tomorrow if vilefileman doesn' come back by then.

Waiting to be screwed...story of my life.

Some of us waited years ...

Just like being a teenager again.... #additup

They’ll hurt me bad, but I don’t mind, they do it all the time.

wrong song.
Why can't I get just one screw?
Why can't I get just one screw?
Believe me, I know what to do....

I guess it's got something to do with luck!

Maybe Whalers needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask himself, "is there something wrong with me?"

Whalers know they have my sympathy.

But, keep an eye on your team.

1955 Pirates

is the screw pick for whalers.

Whalers will next get his second screw pick from calhoop.

I did give calhoop a heads up that if vilefileman wasn't back in time the pick would be the 55 Pirates so calhoop has had some time to prepare for his third round screw pick.

Oh, there is for sure!

1975 Montreal Expos

We're now up to vilefileman's screw pick for et.

I have asked a different manager to make that pick but I asked him not to post it until tomorrow morning to allow vilefileman more time to return if he's able.

Just curious and not trying to rush anyone - Are we going to try to follow the clock at some point?

Redcped will post vilefileman's pick shortly.

We really can't skip during round three.

We can skip during round four.

We were going great andf got way ahead. I'm hoping as soon as redcped posts we'll start going fast again.

This has been quite a troubling draft with a person being missing, the person on the waiting list bailing and now another veteran owner disappearing in the middle of the draft.

It's frustrating.

Hoping all is well with vilefileman, but the show must go on ...

So, evil_twin, the powers that be have asked me to step in and assign you a second team. I take this job seriously and have looked at the way your Twins and Astros combine. I also feel a little bad that you stepped in at the last minute and are still getting adjusted here, so I have decided to do you a favor.

As whalers10 noted, he didn't give you any help at 2B and I have elected to be highly magnanimous and give you a 2B. Of course, he costs $12M, so I'm not sure whether you'll really appreciate the gift. His teammates include a 1B you don't need and can't afford and a decent OF who you also don't need and likely can't afford. But then ... everyone else is terrible. The pitchers are no better than what you have already. And hardly anyone is cheap either.

I give you the 1925 St. Louis Cardinals.

Jonstephen25, I bequeath to you the lousy 35 Philadelphia Phillies.
They don't offer you any pitching help but they do have an upgrade at 1B. Enjoy!
