OK, call me crazy but I think I'm going to make an unexpected pick. I actually think it would be better to have a lower pick but only time will tell.

My team to be named later will be anchored by Johan Santana, P

Santana and Braun taken.

I'll be away Friday and Saturday. I'm thinking my pick probably won't come up until then. If you guys want, I could probably send proxy picks to someone who has made their first round pick already.

I will be around all weekend if anyone wanted to send proxies.

I think I'm too many picks away to really make proxies in this draft. I will try to get access to a computer to check on how things are going Friday and Saturday. If not, I will make my pick first thing when I get back on Sunday.

I'm going to pick 1B Mark Teixeira.

I'll sitemail the next three owners.

I will also work out a schedule that will finish the draft before anyone has to travel.

we'll take 3b David Wright

Okay, I have set the draft up to be timed as of Sunday. However, we can keep making picks. In fact, because each round only runs from 8AM-3:30PM each day, we can even get in more picks. Please make sure to keep sitemailing the three owners following you.

Under the current schedule, the draft will run until May 10th. However, I see no reason why we can't be done before that.
