I don't think my team will be very good, so I might as well have some fun. I can't resist this...

W
Ken Williams
Bernie Williams
Billy Williams

I was planning on going W and taking Ken Williams but Bheid ruined that plan by sniping W and Walker/ Wagner right before me.

And JR Richard land Al Rosen are already taken. You will have to repick

G
Tony Gonsolin
Rich Gossage
Pedro Guerrero
Jason Giambi

Somebody wake me up after 207 picks get made. Hopefully, there will be somebody decent left when it gets back to me.

M
Jocko Milligan
Joe Medwick
Ed Morris
Nick Maddox

I'm going to shore up my pitching

S
Blake Snell
Max Scherzer
Takashi Saito
Rafael Soriano

I think I will use my D letter this round.

Phil Douglas (pitcher)
Bobby Doerr (inf)
Rafael Devers (inf)
Brandon Drury (inf-/of)

Interesting. . . I am also going to shore up my pitching with 4 "S" players:

S
Bruce Sutter
Chris Sale
Johan Santana
Jason Schmidt

Had RTG not taken S, I probably would have, and would have taken Stirnweiss, Sale and hadn't yet decided on the ther 2 players.

This would have been a really interesting theme if each person had to spell a 9-letter word or maybe two words using all 9 letters. And then that would have been each person's team name.

Vowels would be flying off the board, right Vanna.

The good news for you at this moment, schwarze, is that there are only 191 more players to be picked (before you get to dip in for 9 in a row)

I did revise the "letters taken by owner" grid on page 1 in an attempt to resemble "the matrix", a much-anticipated feature of one of the greatest draft leagues ever, the 16x16.

S
George Stone
Kevin Saucier
Ted Simmons
Red Schoendiest

Kiki Cuyler
Lave Cross
Mickey Cochrane
Emmanuel Clase

Jack Pfiester, Boog Powell, Terry Pendleton, Jonathan Papelbon
