Great group of owners and very conservatively played -- except by the TWO teams that went all RP. For the first 8-10 rounds, the draft room was tense and very quiet. Then two ladies came in the room and gave everyone a well-needed back massage. Nice!! We had an excellent lunch of salad, steak, chicken and $300 peach cobbler. Also, Ryan did an excellent job of facilitating and didn't screw up once.
All-in-all, an excellent experience. Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. Here's my team from the 15 slot:
C Montero(10) Saltalamacchia(22)
CO N.Johnson(15) Kouzmanoff(14) B.Wood(20) I.Davis(29)
MI Andrus(7) Uggla(8) Uribe(23) B.Ryan(28)
OF J.Upton(1) Lind(3) McCutchen(4) C.Gonzalez(6) Coghlan(13) LaPorta(19) Dav.Murphy(25) Stanton(30)
SP Halladay(2) Vazquez(5) Dempster(11) Floyd(12) Matusz(16) Porcello(17) Marcum(21) Pavano(26) Hellickson(27)
RP F.Rodriguez(9) Rauch(18) Motte(24)
