I know we're all shocked (SHOCKED!!!) that pini didn't make his pick last night.  I've already received keepers from several of you.  Feel free to keep them coming, especially if your team is off the board.

I'm here, sorry fellas, didn't get home from coaching till late, then had to take little man on some errands, I / Houston, will close out the first round by selecting OF Carlos Beltran - Royals

Thus endeth the first round.  Get your keepers in ASAP.  I have 16.

Sin, I sent you my keeper yest

Got it...sorry I overlooked it.  Up to 20 now.

Here's the complete list of players taken in the first round, in increasing order of the percentage of legs (of the 12 we have records for) in which they were protected (numbers after names are the number of legs the franchise has been used, the number of times protected before round 1, number of times taken in round 1, number of times kept/drafted in rounds 2 or 3, and the total number of drafts during which the player was claimed):

			franch used	K1	D1	later	total
Mark	Teixeira	Braves	12	0	3	2	5
Willie	Stargell	Pirates	6	0	1	3	4
Lenny	Dykstra	Phillies	12	0	4	7	11
Nolan	Ryan	Astros	12	0	5	7	12
Tim	Hudson	Athletics	12	0	5	7	12
Rico	Petrocelli	Red Sox	12	1	8	3	12
Bert	Blyleven	Twins	12	2	2	7	11
Jimmy	Rollins	Phillies	12	2	4	6	12
Carl	Yastrzemski	Red Sox	12	2	2	8	12
Carlos	Beltran	Royals	10	2	1	1	4
George	Foster	Reds	9	2	3	3	8
Mark	McGwire	Cardinals	12	3	9	x	12
Joe	Nathan	Twins	12	3	1	8	12
Fernando	Valenzuela	Dodgers	11	3	4	4	11
Paul	O'Neill	Yankees	12	4	4	4	12
Orel	Hershiser	Dodgers	11	4	5	2	11
Ichiro	Suzuki	Mariners	12	5	4	3	12
Fritz	Peterson	Yankees	12	5	3	4	12
Bob	Gibson	Cardinals	12	8	4	x	12
Rickey	Henderson	Athletics	12	9	3	x	12
Cal	Ripken	Orioles	9	7	2	x	9
Tony	Gwynn	Padres	10	8	2	x	10
Pedro	Martinez	Mets	12	10	2	x	12
Craig	Biggio	Astros	12	11	1	x	12

So this is the first time ever Nathan was taken in the first.  Lovely.

Yep - he has been the Twins' keeper before the second 6 times, but not this time.

man, Vegas would have a field day on the karma hits for some of these protects. Gwynn! Gibson! Rickey! Ripken! Biggio!

Need 3 more keepers.

When karma hits (first-round keepers only):

Cardinals without Bob Gibson
Leg	Owner	W	L	Pos.
28	llcoach	84	78	2
29	jose can u c	80	82	3
34	mllama54	89	73	2t

sgsmith,

I am curious.  Using the history that you have, which franchises get the fewest players stolen?  I remember when I played the Indians, I got nobody taken from me in either rounds 1 or 2 (I'm fairly sure an Indian got picked in round 3). 

Just one to go...Disco.  He works nights, so I expect to get it later today.

And similarly, I would imagine that the pitching-heavy Dodgers are the team with the most players taken.

Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox and Astros would have to be high on that list.  Those teams seem to go off the board in just about every round.
