I have almost no time to think about this until Thursday. I have two classes that finish this week Monday and Wednesday, plus Election Day. It's just a lot going on. If I can sneak in some research I will, but expect a little delay here. Apologies in advance.

OK, I'll make a first pick based on researching one franchise just because I want to like my Dodgers team a lot.

League 2
Dodgers
5
NL West (of course!)

I've been researching for two weeks and as much as I try to find a different choice, I keep coming back to this same selection....

League 6
Astros
9's
AL West

I'm making myself nuts trying to make the perfect choice here, which is impossible.

League 5
Indians/Naps/Blues
8
AL Central

There's better pitching out there, but that hitting.....

League 1
Yankees
7
AL East

I strongly considered those "7" Yankees too.... Oh the hitting...

I almost submitted them a few hours ago because I was so enamored with that lineup. Then I started looking some more until I was completely indecisive. I didn't even get to League 6. I had enough good choices among the others and you already had a team there anyway.

I really wish every owner got to pick their league, though I know it would take forever. There are some great options in a couple groups. I think I’m around 15-16 in rank from Round 3 and it’s gonna suck if I get forced into one with weak options.

Which is one of the reasons I liked being able to trade....

That could play to your advantage if you're picking like 3rd in a league without much depth. Could give you one of the few strong teams in there. Picking that high should be good in any of these leagues.

Exactly my thought

My apologies guys...it's a crazy week and I just don't have any time to put into research, and (entirely my fault) I still don't understand the draft rules regarding divisional placement at all. Again - that's my fault - I am sure it's explained clearly if I actually take the time to think it through.

So that I don't hold things up any further, I am going to make what is probably a terrible pick.
League 4: White Sox
0
ALW

Simple. We pick our division when we make our selection..

League 1
Yankees
4's
NL East

(This closes league 1)
