Bubba Q,  Your pick for Pedro Martinez is not valid.  You have already drafted Curt Schilling so you already have your Red Sox (Only one player from each team).

You must reselect.

I thought it was too early for a problem to occur, but here are the teams selected thus far:

thebubbaq - Boston, San Francisco
firesalt - Houston, Milwaukee, Colorado
markeking - Houston, Minnesota
njbigwig - Arizona, Chicago Cubs

Per the rules, an invalid pick cannot be made up until the end of the draft, but if no one disagrees, I don't mind allowing thebubbaq to make a repick. I do not favor holding up the draft for this, because it already has been moving slowly. So whoever is up to draft should feel free to make a selection, and thebubbaq can repick whenever he gets an opportunity. Does that sound fair to everyone?

Here are the players who have been selected so far:
Johnson (Ari),
Schmidt (SF),
Santana (Min),
Sheets (Mil),
Clemens (Hou),
Schilling (Bos),
Zambrano (Cubs),
Berkman (Hou),
Helton (Col)

I'm sorry, I'm often more computer inaccessible on Saturdays and Sundays than during the work week. I see I missed our first draft problem. I'm fine with firesalt's proposal although I don't fault ngbigwig if he wants to enforce the rules as written. Here's my pick:  

OF  Bobby Abreu   Phillies  $6,754,162

Cumulative:  $21,745,149

C - Jason Kendall (Pirates) - $5,423,468

Cum = 21,930,570

Sorry guys my new pick is Oliver Perez (Pirates) $20,642,534

woohoo I pick again!!

Eric Gagne (Dodgers) Cumulative $24,242,090

SS  Carlos Guillen  Tigers     $6,096,535

Cumulative:     $27,841,684

2B Mark Loretta (Padres) - $6,960,781

Cum = $28,891,351

Miguel Tejada (Orioles) 7,157,946
Total = 30,924,599
