Jesse Burkett

Before I took Abreu in the last round, I really wanted to pull the trigger and take Burkett. He has terrific value in multiple seasons. The only thing that stopped me from taking him is my fear that I couldn't fit him under all the salary caps. Even at $120M it would have been tight with my other picks. Still, I think he's a great choice, especially for this late in the draft.

As of right now, I can't use his best seasons which kinda sucks but I can still use his good ones.

Sandy Alomar Jr.

Really liked the Johnny Mize pick. I was torn between him and Delgado at 1b. Delgado seemed to have better low cost options.

Can't stay up any longer.  Sent proxy to buddhagamer and SpotSell

Sorry for holding us up ... just got in.  Against my better judgment, I'll go with   P  Justin Verlander

I'm wore out so maybe I'm not thinking straight, but how can we go "back on the clock" tomorrow if we don't finish this round tonight?  I believe I cannot pick tonight because we are not caught up and that is fine, but won't this cause an issue tomorrow morning?  Is it just going to be a free-for-all tomorrow til those of us who haven't picked tonight are caught up?

I'm assuming *this* round selections aren't due until tomorrow (therefore you don't have to make your selection for this round until late tomorrow night).  Next round selections won't be on the clock until Friday.

Siddhartha is correct.  The picks just made were not due until Thursday, which as I type is now today.  Check page two and you will see.

Perfect, thanks.  Hopefully I'll be thinking more clearly tonight when I make me picks.
