Just a reminder that SiriusXM will carry the FSTA Industry drafy tonight starting at 8 pm ET. Four hours of coverage featuring 13 teams and 23 rounds. I have the fourth pick tonight. I'll try to post some of the picks and my roster here tomorrow. Feel free to post some of the picks or discuss the draft here if you'd like. Should be fun. This will be held live at The Mirage in Las Vegas. See ya tonight.

I'm guessing this is the premium(pay) channel? Anybody now what channel # this will be on this evening?

It is 87 on XM and I think 210 on Sirius

thanks pgromek

looks like Shandler tried to execute some sort of LIMA

1 SP among his first 11 picks

Here is a link to the spreadsheet from the draft:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... n_US#gid=0

Nice job guys posting the picks of last night's draft. It was an interesting draft right from the first pick, but a lot of fun. Kind of chaotic at times with everything going on from the trade show to the announcers, but still fun.

I knew offense would be at a premium as some guys laid off SPs, so I'm light on power at this point. I went young (especially with my SPs) and hoped for upside. I did not have any intention of taking Clayton Kershaw at 23, but took him as the first SP ahead of Halladay. We'll see if that was a smart move or not, but at 23 I just felt he was the best on the board.

Okay, poke away at it. This is a no-trade league and we drafted 29 players. We'll see if this team can compete for a title or not:

C - Wilson Ramos
C- Carlos Ruiz
1B - Miguel Cabrera
2B - Jose Altuve
SS - Erick Aybar
3B - Aramis Ramirez
CI - Freddie Freeman
MI - Emilio Bonifacio
UT - J.D. Martinez
OF - Carl Crawford
OF - Hunter Pence
OF - Alex Gordon
OF - Jeff Francouer
OF - Carlos Quentin

SP - Clayton Kershaw
SP - David Price
SP - Madison Bumgarner
SP - Derek Holland
SP - Vance Worley
P - Drew Storen
P - Huston Street
P - Addison Reed

Reserves:
Alex Presley
Lonnie Chisenhall
Salvador Perez
Nolan Arrendondo
Juan Nicasio
Danny Duffy

Thoughts?

Nolan Arrendondo?


Greg - who is that? If it is Nolen Arenado, 3B, Colorado who you saw in November at the AFL and who WILL have a chance to win the 3B job in spring training then he will be a big power plus for you when he arrives.

Looks like you still have Packer hangover:

Ramos = McCarthy except he calls a better game.
Aramis = Finley - both suck in the clutch
Quentin = Starks - always hurt
Crawford = Grant - both underachieved
Danny Duffy = GB Defense - neither can go 3 and out

Well considering he got Beckett and Luebke in rounds 12 and 13, it looks like he did fine
(he already had James Shields and Jonathan Papelbon on board)

Yeah it looks like Shandler came out pretty good in the end

I like the staff Greg. You're right I think you might be a bit short on power. Need a big year from Quentin.
