As I've mentioned in a writeup for some other draft league at some point, this guy is one of my favorite pitchers of all time, ever since 2004 when I sat about 12 rows behind home plate and watched him completely dominate as a 20 year-old in a short-season A ball game in Lowell, MA. When you attend a short-season A ball game you don't ever expect to see a pitcher who so obviously will be a major leaguer someday, but he clearly was. It was awesome.

I could really do something sinister here... but I will be nice (at this in this round)...

Via proxy, schwarze selects Shin-Soo "Big League" Choo.

I select Andres Gimenez.

I'm out and about for the evening, so while I am prepared to make picks I will ask for help with sitemailing.

No need, I see I'm up. Pick coming shortly

Greg Holland
Tyler Duffey

Willi Castro

Please sitemail. I only had one proxy for schwarze.

I've been eyeing this guy for half the draft. I don't know if he's still available because people didn't check the DH-onlys, or because having a DH-only limits your roster flexibility, or because everyone has their fill of right-handed power hitters. Probably the latter. But at this point I think he's the best available offensive option.

Please sitemail. I'm a couple of cheap Chinese restaurant zombies deep, and the more rounds we get through tonight, the greater the chance that I screw up my draft even further.
