I've met all challenges so far. now I go face-to-face with the ultimate challenge.

Pete Rose, Cincinnati

his name is also a sentence.
Reigning MVP mind you.  I bet he creates 140+ runs this year...

I'll take Kevin Mitchell from the Giants.  Mostly to stage an eating contest (vegetarian of course) with Prince during Spring Training.

In the Brewers' previous 10 appearances, Sheets was protected before Round 1 9 times, and when he wasn't he was drafted in Round 1 (leg 35 - unprotected by schwarze, picked midway through the first round by pini's M's).
It came down to Sheets or Caldwell to protect, and I chose Caldwell since he's more likely to keep the ball in the park.  I would have liked to have both on my final roster however...
Same reason I let Sheets go in the last leg.  I think Caldwell lost 20 games for my pathetic Brewers team. 
Awesome, good to know.

You've got the #1 ranked owner tempting fate!  Here is rbow's 5-year "Rule V" history...

Season 31:
Astros, 97-65

Season 32:
Yankees, 101-61

Season 33:
Athletics, 103-59

Season 34:
Padres, 94-68

Season 35:
Blue Jays, 103-59

He set the franchise records in wins for Yankees (since broken), Athletics, Padres and Blue Jays.  The only downside is that he's yet to win a World Series with these teams.
A fate that awaits him yet again. Karma knows we try to warn them.  Damn shame.

I got a sitemail from spoonfed with a proxy for his 9pm slot, but I won't be available at that time.  Is anyone else who received it going to be here?  If not, I can forward it to someone who will.

Kansas City takes Willie McGee of the St. Louis Cardinals, who are now off the board.
