Rd7 - Reds

Johnny Bench

Round 7 Padres Jake Peavy

Round 8 Pirates Ramon Hernandez

PReeves obviously isn't participating in this draft. Can I suggest that someone else take over the Twins team sooner rather than later?

Round 8 - Giants

Rich Aurilia

Round 9 - Rangers/Senators
Jake Smolinski

Round 9
Dodgers
Don Sutton

Round 9
Dodgers
Don Sutton

what a STEAL!!! he should have gone top 3 in this franchise.

Chewy has offered to take over the team from the mussopini23/PReeves22 "Twins."

Although numbers like 33 and 44 clearly violate the sequence, this should bring the draft up to date promptly!

I got approval from the commissioner to take over PReeves team

going forward I will reference this team as chewy3344(2) highlighted in red.

Here is some catch up:

Round 3 Cardinals - Willie McGee
Round 4 Astros - Roger Clemens
Round 5 Reds - Trevor Bauer
Round 6 Tigers - Allen Trammell
Round 7 Royals - Steve Busby
Round 9 Pirates - Matt Capps

Although it's great that Chewy has volunteered to take over the Twins team, he already has the Yankees. Having two teams in the American League is far from ideal and creates a potential conflict of interest in a pennant race.

He was the only volunteer I had.

If someone from the NL wants to swap into the Twins team, they could reach out to chewy and negotiate. But keeping the draft moving is also important.

You don't need to worry with my credibility and morals. I'm more of a "set it and forget it" manager and I only make lineup changes periodically when fatigue goes below 98%.

Having said that, if you think it is better to have a league vote and seek out someone from the N.L. to take over this Twins starting team, that is fine with me too. I just can't stand having someone over 4 picks behind the rest of us with a history of this behavior.
