All's fair in love and SIM.  Being on the left coast AND being in the restaurant biz, AM draft times are tough.  So be it - I'm happy to have the 4th pick!

Everyone, I am so sorry. I woke up bright and early to make my pick and my internet is down!

I am currently at a Starbucks so I can post my pick and pinotfan's proxy. I'm going to call AT&T customer service when I get home, but for the time being, I ask you to shuttle your proxies to someone else. If my internet continues to be down, I will try to make it to a place with free wifi tonight to update everything.

Again, sorry.

As much as pitching in this league is going to suck, and as much as I hate Barry Bonds, I will jump on him with pick #7 (1 pm EST).

Hmmm. I got caught up waiting for the early picks to be made and completely forgot about time slots.

There are a few names I'm sure I will regret passing on, but I guess I'll open my draft with

OF King Kelly

I'm running a lot of errands and am back in a place with free wifi. I'll update everything now.

Also please sitemail the next few people ahead of you after you pick. It's not required, but it is courteous.

8th pick 1:30 Orval Overall

K. Internet seems to be up and running again. You can continue to send me your proxies.

I'll delete my list. I'm gonna take a nap. Save me a good player.

The 9th pick at 2:00 is Mark McGwire

With the 10th pick we take Don Drysdale, who once appeared in an episode of "Leave it to Beaver."

Drysdale was also on The Brady Bunch.

the 11th pick is SP Whit Wyatt

DERN, WAS GONNA BE MY 1ST
