So what's the over/under on how many teammates on average we'll use on $200K guys? I'm thinking 5.

This just keeps getting better. Next iteration, I’m just targeting every player’s cheapest version from the start :P

I am finally through the pitching gauntlet with this Lindblad pick. Now the fun part of this draft can begin.

Lindblad, Paul

Wow. Just shoot me now.

2011 Joe Mauer $2,250,749

Yeah, I hear you. We're supposed to be doing this for fun. I once described these drafts as "exquisite agony" but this one is just "agony". I suppose I need to recognize that most others are suffering as much as I am and take some sort of schadenfreudal pleasure in that. Either that or drink heavily. Maybe both.

I'm drinking pretty early even for me, and even for Friday.

Oh dear.

My out-of-position no-hit platooning left fielder-to-be Joe Mauer says, drink up!

I will take him up on that. If another pick gets back to me this evening I can't guarantee that I'll take someone who is eligible for this draft. Heck, it may not even be an actual human being.

I’m going to need an hour and a half. Out right now and by draft board has been obliterated this round.

This is not true. There are still TONS of terrible options on the board for you!

Just a radical idea as we wallow in misery, but maybe we should require a nominee to have a rating at their position each season.

Probably. Feels like a lot longer though as I look at my options. Picking momentarily.
