Man, I can't believe I missed A-Rod b/c I came in third in a 3-way random tie-breaker. How does he not go #1?

Sidney Ponson

** EDIT ** This pick is invalid. Ponson is considered a SF Giant. I re-picked down below.

I think the fact that Sidney Ponson is the 4th best pitcher on the board should answer your question...

Ugh... yes I know. I never really expected to get A-Rod (nor did I even really need him), but to get so close....

Just a slight dropoff between A-Rod and Ponson.

Rodriguez was the only other guy I seriously considered, but the gap between Vazquez and whatever starting pitcher I could get in round 2—Miguel Batista? Adam Eaton?—was just way too much.

About the 4th best pitcher discussion...

Multiple teams list says

Sidney Ponson is on SF Giants

Am I missing something here?

(You don't think I took SF for Bonds, do you?)

Damn, you're right. I forgot to check the multiple player list. My bad. I'll have a new pick in a moment.

UGH there goes my pick .... Gimmie a few minutes to come up with something else

The only way we're winning games is going to be 10-9 anyway so lets help the offense
C- Jason Kendall.

Nice pick. I was hoping markeking would take Kendall since he needed a catcher more than a shortstop.

No offense to Olivo and Sandy Alomar (and that's just what I'll get from them ... no offense), but catcher is my biggest need. Nevertheless, I thought ARod was the best player in the draft. I was pleasantly surprised to find him sitting there at No. 4. Hopefully he'll crank a lot of homers for me at the Cell.
