well as soon as amerk makes his pick I'm good to go, assuming he doesn't grab one of my guys. and Flash was not on my list. Tho the list of acceptable Cubbies is dwindling, I have been smoked by him too many times. Good Luck Jtpsops.

Flash wasn't on my radar either [wipes brow]... but the wrong guy here in the last pick could still do serious damage with all the inter-connectivity of the roster.

Guess its down to me....sorry it took so long....long day and just logged in for the first time today.

After much thought, I am gonna take a switch hitter off the board with the last pick:

Randy Winn, and his 20 HR, 19 steals, 85 speed and 47 2bs in 05.

Not a HOFer, Not on the Mitchell report, not a Yankee or Chisoc and hasnt already been picked. I think he's good. Anyone else know different, lemme know.

No one can take ANY of his years now am I right?

You're right, amerk. He's all yours.

But there are some big name switch hitters out there that I'm surprised no one picked.

I've got my roster at $145mil right now, but it's going to be an interesting season...LOTS of mixing and matching and platoons.

Oof. Winn was on my roster for one of my OF platoons... but he was my third switch-hitter, so I'm not screwed too badly. I'm sure I'll review everything six ways from Sunday before I enter...

Yep. One in partucular shocks me. I almost blacklisted him instead of Schilling. Glad I held off.

Sad thing is, I'm having a hard time choosing my Cubs teammates partially because of the team name rule.

I won't have the best tandem, but I guarantee I'll have one of the coolest names :)

I love my tandem, one guy satisfied a whole heap of rules, the other guy's a ball masher. I'll probably finish middle of the pack in the coolest name competition.

I'm not sure taking switch hitters off the board was the way to go. At various stages of roster construction I've had 4-5 switch hitters on board. Looks like the final roster will have 3.

I ended up going with Cubs role fillers instead of the Cubs stars, only because I couldn't pass up someone that played the same position. My name got shot to hell once Mark Grace was drafted. Grace and Randy Myers were going to form NASTY GRACE!

I was tempted to do something with Bob Dernier. Le Dernier (x) but the stolen base rule wrecked that plan.
