Complete steal! Had I not already had Pedro, I would've taken Lowe several rounds ago.

A guy with a sub 1.00 whip#, low oav# and most importantly low HR/9# lasting this long was inexplicable.

I used my 2nd pick on P2, so I wasn't looking closely at who was left ... but, yeah, surprising because of several guys taken ahead of him in the group who appear to be objectively not as good.

2011 Mike Napoli

OF1: 1994 Tony Gwynn (Padres) $8,781,903

I went back and forth several times between Gwynn and Yastrzemski. Basically was a coin flip for me.

Pedrocerrano has his Oriole and the others have their OF1 so I will take

1980 Al Bumbry

Orioles

OF1

8,057,622

I texted ff09... waiting for a reply.

Meanwhile, I can make my next pick. This guy is a favorite of mine, albeit a little light in PA. And the best part is that I jump ahead of ronthegenius, njbigwig & joerat1 in the next round.

2004 Carlos Guillen, Tigers SS $6,228,956

via text, ff09 selects...

1943 Howie Pollet, Cardinals P5 $4,748,560

1965 Juan Marichal

Giants

P2

10,387,386

I came *very* close to drafting Marichal this round (could have jumped ahead of a bunch of people). Heck, I considered taking Marichal in each of the last 2-3 rounds. I like his inning count and whip, but I just couldn't stomach the HR rate, especially with all the HR hitters in this league. Based on the HR hitters I have rostered, it's likely I will play in a +HR park, basically screwing Marichal. I hope he works out for you.
