It sucks to pick last and have to see 48 names go off the board between selections.
I was in two drafts that just completed, and in both I was either last or a couple from last, so I can relate. It's great to pick two together, but the waiting in between and helpless feeling about who's gonna be available is difficult. I was thrilled to be "middle of the pack" (literally) this time around.

Wait until we get to make two picks per time slot... You will have to wait until 92 players (23 teams x 4 players) go off the board before you pick again.

Sorry for delay, I was actually thinking of sending a generous trade offer for nordawg's pick (2 spots ahead of me) in order to get Henderson. But, i gambled he would drop 2 more.

Instead, i'm now going a route i haven't ever gone in live draft leagues. I'd be open for a trade if any of you find that you are heavy in hitting and lacking in pitching.

My pick- Larry Gura, SP

Was going to go with a pitcher, but his overall solid numbers across the board were hard to pass up.
