Yeah I made my pick when I opened the sitemail and realized I was up. Hadn't visited the WIS site for a few hours at that point.

Texas Rangers

No skipping ahead unless everyone is caught up.

This pick will not be official until 7pm.

Oakland Athletics as before

Sorry but it’s Now 706, so Texas

Guardians/Indians

I'll take the Angels

Also, need to know how we're going to handle Shohei Ohtani now that he has both hitter and pitcher seasons available.

Well, per the rules: "No clones (same player, same franchise - if a player played for more than one franchise, he is available once for each franchise)."

And once he is kept/drafted, no one else can take him.

That doesn't exactly address the issue, though. Clones have always referred to different seasons of the same player, so no 2021 Ohtani and 2022 Ohtani. Are we considering 2022 hitter Ohtani and 2022 pitcher Ohtani clones as well? Figure it's best to get this established and in the rules now.

I'll try the Cincinnati Reds this leg.

My two cent's regarding Shohei Ohtani, I have no problem If the league allows it the club that has drafted/protected him can use both his pitcher/batter seasons but they must be for identical years. Also he cannot be a starting pitcher and position player at the same time in a game. If he is in the line up as a starting pitcher he can't play a position or come off the bench as a pinch hitter/runner.Also the opposite if he is a starting position player he can not simultaneously come out the bullpen and relieve. If this not possible to control maybe it's a moot point.
