Congrats schwarze...I thought Yankees 4 was the biggest steak at this huge buffet Juice provided.

Thanks. So many good hitting Yankees teams, but not many that also have decent pitching.

Pedro's killing me with the suspense!

Sorry Juice. I'll close Lg 6 with Expos/Nationals (7) and play in the NL Central.

No prob Pedro...

I'll close out League 5 with the Cardinals (4's) and play in the N.L. West

Lg 4
Cubs 9's
NLC

I'll close out the Top 12 with

League 3
Athletics
9's
A.L. East

I'll be out of town from noon tomorrow (Friday) until Sunday afternoon. I'm going to work on the draft orders for all six leagues this afternoon and will hopefully have them posted prior to leaving tomorrow.

Sweet!

My apologies guys...it's a crazy week and I just don't have any time to put into research, and (entirely my fault) I still don't understand the draft rules regarding divisional placement at all. Again - that's my fault - I am sure it's explained clearly if I actually take the time to think it through.

So that I don't hold things up any further, I am going to make what is probably a terrible pick.
League 4: White Sox
0
ALW

Well, my lousy research last round really showed...I made 2 of the first 12 picks. Neither made the playoffs. Neither broke .500. White Sox went 81-81, Red Sox 8 went 80-82.

I am paying for this with a lot of lousy draft slots this time around.

Recap of how the top 12 picks ended up doing, in order of selection...

1. redcped, Dodgers 5 (league 2) - 86-76, missed playoffs
2. schwarze, Astros 9 (league 6) - 102-60, #1 seed in NL, won World Series
3. redcped, Indians 8 (league 5) - 87-75, #3 seed in AL, lost in wildcard round
4. toysboys, Yankees 7 (league 1) - 95-67, #1 seed in AL. won World Series
5. contrarian23, White Sox 0 (league 4) - 81-81, missed playoffs
6. schwarze, Yankees 4 (league 1) - 101-61, #1 seed in NL, lost in wildcard round
7. pedrocerrano, Expos 7 (league 6) - 86-76, #4 seed in NL, lost in LCS
8. thejuice6, Cardinals 4 (league 5) - 80-82, missed playoffs
9. toysboys, Cubs 9 (league 4) - 97-67, #1 seed in NL, lost in wildcard round
10. contrarian23, Red Sox 8 (league 2) - 80-82, missed playoffs
11. SteveIzzy, Athletics 2 (league 3) - 95-67, #1 seed in NL, lost in World Series
12. thejuice6, Athletics 9 (league 3) - 101-61, #2 seed in AL, lost in LCS to #1 seed

I'm pretty sure of two things in Round Five on my League ONE team (1908-1910):

(1) I won't need ALL of the over 3000 innings of pitching I have on my roster; and

(2) I think I've got the largest team payroll - it's at $244M+

Walter Johnson and Cy Young are starting the season in the bullpen...lol
