We came out of the gate at full speed, enter the first turn at a gallop, gaited in the back stretch, walking home.

Real life intervened.

2012 San Francisco Giants

Sorry for the delay, 1993 Blue Jays please

2nd Team: 2011 Texas Rangers

1972 LA Dodgers

The 27 Dodgers are not eligible (.548). rufus4ever has been site-mailed.

I'll repick- .548 not .550

Sorry, but there are a lot of good choices that barely missed. 2005 Astros (.549) and 1967 White Sox (.549) are two other teams that I considered until realizing they weren't eligible.

1985 LA Dodgers

1981 Phillies (.551)

1987 St. Louis Cardinals (.586)

I thought about going for the first pick here, but my uncertainty about the players that two particular owners are keeping, plus the possibility of being undercut by owners who haven't made their second picks yet, made it too risky. There's only one player available to me (so far) who would make it possibly be worth it.

So instead I'll settle for what will likely be the 10th or 11th pick in the first round (depending on what schwarze does) and take:

1923 Cincinnati Reds
