I was just coming here to say that! I hope it isnt normally this deep. Glad we are getting some talent back in the draft pool...but damn! At this rate we will have 4 star guys going in the 4th round!

I don't remember last time it was this deep. Hope the game engine doesn't take it out on vets too badly by slumping them. It has to balance things somehow. Then again, I don't see too many players that should start immediately rather than spending at least this season in AAA.

I have never had a tougher time making a pick than I have this season. I rushed my round 1 pick and made the wrong choice. I was really unaware until making my s1 pick just how deep this draft was. GEEZ!! There are 50 guys on the board I would have been happy with.

By the way, I would like to know in what universe this guy:

Stu Baker

is only the #70 prospect in the league.

Even after this draft it's probably not true.

Can't wait to get him on a diamond.

Nice. I almost took Weber. He is one of my ammy creations. But I needed some more SP talent in my system.

Tried to go as safe as I could with my second rounders. Wish Carter could play defense, but if he could he'd have probably been drafted higher.

Taken care of. Hopefully we can do this promptly throughout the draft but we're getting weird stalling at list picks.

I'm confused. How did I get auto picked? I'd really rather not have a mediocre reliever in a deep draft.

I won't be later. Hope the draft doesn't go too wonky between 2:30 and 8:30.

By the way, Long Beach's pick of Reynaldo Garza has been changed to Ernesto Olberos, who was previously unselected. If Garza's availability is a significant problem for anyone who picked after Long Beach, please let me know ASAP.

Yours is fine, but it appears that Buffalo went to a list pick. Which I'll now take care of.

I'm gone between 2:30 and 8:30 so this could get really interesting.
