FIRST GEKKO SNAFU
Last year my first 7 picks on draft day...
1 Johan Santana SP
2 Manny Ramirez LF
3 Ichiro Suzuki CF
4 Carlos Delgado 1B
5 Jim Thome DH
6 Ian Kinsler 2B
7 Takashi Saito CL
It came to my pick in the 8th round and I had a decision between B.Myers and R.Sexson. I ruled Sexson out of consideration because I mistakenly forgot about my CI slot and thought I couldn't use him.
To fix this, I have made a mental note to myself to be more diligent about keeping track of that stuff AND i will have a co-manager at the draft table to help out with roster management.
SECOND GEKKO SNAFU
I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I had very little minor league prep under my belt on draft day 2007. I barely knew anything about braun, lincecum, a.miller, pence, b.butler, etc…
To correct this, I’ve already spent an estimated 20 hours on minor league prep (about 18 more than last year). I anticipate another 20-30 hours on minor league prep prior to draft day.
To those sitting down with me at the draft table come March 15th, good luck!!!

Anyone else willing to share a SNAFU?
