The new Mr. Met is very tempting here, but I'd have to shuffle too much around to make him fit.

I'll stick with my original plan...Larry Walker

Finishing up at $119,959,103 with $200K in wasted salary.

Walker was my original plan too. But I fell to temptation.

Many thanks to you sir.

$119,993,117 for me. Great job Husker this part was really fun but a lot of work for you. And now for my terrible results

Bob Henley rounds out my team. This was a very fun challenge draft! Appreciate the work that went into it, Husker

Ryan Zimmerman finishes the draft for me. Payroll = $119,916,061

Just reiterating what others have said, I appreciate the work on this, Husker. GBR!

Vladimir Guerrero

Thanks to njbigwig and redcped for the proxies while I'm on vacation. And thanks to NebHusker for keeping things moving with the clock and re-adjusting the clock when possible.

My team checks in at $119,699,228. I have no wasted salary as I drafted 13 usable pitchers, including 5 starters and 8 relievers. 1491 innings should be sufficient for my ballpark (Wrigley Field). My offense totals 6263 PAs, which may be a little light.

Tim Foli completes my roster. $119,953,655 used.

Team name refers to the 7up billboard in the background of the opening "concert chaos" scene in Pink Floyd The Wall,

As a Royals fan, I would be sad celebrating Schmidt outright.

Tommy Milone

Wow, it came down to my 3rd choice for 200K pitcher :) With Maya and Milone already picked, I'll go with Taylor Jordan.

Dee Strange-Gordon

I've found this draft really engaging (thank you NebHusker) and volunteered to run the next one.

After the last pick comes in, I plan to ask a few questions on this thread for input on tweaks. I will have a few ideas to offer, but backchannel me now if you have ideas to add to the discussion.

I don't want to hijack the thread with lots of specific ideas BEFORE the last pick gets made, but I do want to encourage everyone to swing back to this thread over the coming days.

I’ll be posting a write up of my draft and commentary tonight. I hope many others will too.

I'm curious to see whose write-up contains the most expletives.
