Wow, a run on starting pitchers linked to Johnny Evers. I guess I'm glad I got on the front end of that run. Although it means those guys are picking ahead of me.

I also agonized over my Ed Reulbach pick. I had two other players typed in (including Gehrig) and was all ready to hit submit, then changed my mind. It's easy to simply take the best player available, but then you start analyzing the risk/reward and the opportunity cost, and you start second guessing yourself.

After doing all the research, I am dumbfounded at why certain players were nominated - guys that don't have good teammates and also aren't worthy of being blacklisted - just wasted picks. Most people will simply pick a teammate from those guys in the last few rounds.

I'm a main culprit here. I rushed my pick, didn't read the rules properly and didn't look at previous players chosen. After I caught myself up I quickly realized my Stuffy McCinnis pick is horrible and useless. Someone like Rickey Henderson or a guy from the good 70's teams would have at least brought in some fun options. Apologies.

Okay I have a few minutes here and don't want to hold things up. I had this plan B in the back of my mind in case of an emergency. . . . .and this, my friends, is an emergency.

Give me CRAIG BIGGIO - teammate of Randy Johnson.

I contemplated Biggio....sneaky good pick at this point in the draft.

A simple snake draft would have made this pick too easy. Sat on a choice between 2 players all night. A real battle between the head and the gut. In the end, I went with my gut:

Derek Jeter (Randy Johnson)

Are you up again now? I didn’t see any picks linked to DeGrom or Ripken, though maybe I missed one.

Seeing how this played out, I should’ve just taken the player I initially wanted. Only would’ve ended up dropping me a handful of picks this round. Ridiculous.

Waiting for the official word - but Yeah Mike Scott (Nolan Ryan)

Yeah,no, I think we have to randomize everyone who picked Randy Johnson's teammates right?

No. It’s reverse order of last round for tied picks.

So this round starts with:

1. BigScungil
2. odalisgagne
3. NebHusker
4. jfranco77

I went with this scenario in mind. Otherwise, gulp.

Ah I didn't realize we were doing that for round 2 as well. Alrighty then.

Bill Bernhard (Nap Lajoie)

Clayton Kershaw (Juan Uribe)

Round 2 order:

1. BigScungil - Mike Scott
2. odalisgagne - Bill Bernhard
3. NebHusker - Clayton Kershaw
4. jfranco77
5. redcped
6. dippedncrack
7. skunk206
8. mensu1954

I was really wavering between Bernhard and kershaw.
