Before we go any farther, a situation has come up that everyone should be aware of: Since we're able to raid each other's rosters during this draft (except for the keepers, of course), there stands a chance that someone with their last pick can, in a sense, go in and grab someone else's starting catcher - probably leaving them with hardly any recourse.

Three ways we can go here:

(1) Before the draft begins, get with the other owners in your draft and ask them if, after the fourth round, that they make each other's teams off-limits for the last round;
(2) Before the draft begins, make your Catcher (or some other position that would be affected) one of your keepers; or
(3) Just leave things the way they are and say "Let the cards fall where they may!"

Totally up to you guys in each draft - I don't care either way. Just something we thought you should be aware of...

I would prefer option #1. I can live with #3. I think that #2 is no good...

Prefer #1 also


And Juice doesn't have my keepers up yet, but they are Rhodes, Soriano, Sasaki, Garcia, and Ichiro, so I will make the first pick:

Roy Halladay P Toronto

also option #1 is good

I think this is lame that it is not a snake draft. Getting penalized for signing up early is dumb. Especially since I took my favorite team which really isn't very good for this tourney. Oh well.

"Slammin" Sammy Sosa - Cubbies

Dbacks welcome 1B Todd Helton... sorry Gracie, we couldn't put that "aged" bat out there every day.
