Stupid work.  20 minutes too late as I wanted to grab Delgado.  I'll stick with the team up north and grab Jimmy Key - TOR

Thus endeth round one. Keepers ASAP please.

20 keepers in...four to go.

Just need one.  It's mussopini, who is on the west coast, so I won't bust him too hard for being last;-)

i will protect Cliff Lee

Got it...will post them shortly.

Keepers posted.  We will draft untimed today, then resume with a regular schedule tomorrow.  I'll sitemail the schedule shortly.

I need pitching and you guys keep tempting me with hitters. not this time...

Fritz Peterson, Yankees

Anyone know the last season that Fritz was actually used by New York?

I'm sure sgsmith does.  I don't think it was that long ago that he was protected by the Yankees, but I've been doing this league for so long that all the seasons start to run together.

Indeed.  I have the complete records going back 11 seasons.  Peterson has been a first-5 keeper (K1) 5 times in those seasons:, most recently by me in Leg 33:

33: sgsmith
30: specsman
27: holleybard
26: moneybonn
25: AKlopp

He's been drafted in the first round twice:
by shaybee (Blue Jays) in Leg 32 (rbow923 owned the Yanks)
by alleyviper (Giants) in Leg 31 (tridentric owned the Yankees).

In the remaining 4 legs, he's never been pulled back after the first round of the draft, and he's beenn drafted in Round 2 each time:
by rbow923 (Blue Jays) in Leg 35 (alleyviper)
by marlowe (Giants) in Leg 34 (jstewart281)
by newarkwilder (Giants) in Leg 29 (ff09)
by holleybard (Rays) in Leg 28 (jose can u c)

Wow, he was kept more often than I expected.  Still, since I've been playing he was kept only once and now drafted five times so I see why I thought that.

By the way, Rico Petrocelli is playing for the Red Sox for the first time in the 11 seasons for which I have records.
