i should be around all day today. we're getting a little weather "as i speak"...excellent reason to stay in and get about 8 rounds in.

Just an FYI...

the e-mail from Geoff Stein said the draft starts at 11:00 EST. The Mock Draft Central site has it starting at 10:00 EST, so I am planning on welcoming aboard Mr. Pujols in about 20 minutes.

Good luck to everyone (I'll need it more than most!)

KJ - if you finish this draft and get a new one started - I bet you fill it in a day.

chance of finishing tomorrow night. i think that would make it less than 8 days.

We're up to round 17 and almost done with it.

Great job by KJ Duke and everyone else for getting this done so quick.

Certainly was a learning experience for this rube!

Braggarts!!!!

well, i'm down one player already.

Grant Desme (my 44th pick) is taking up the priesthood. guess somebody told him he was on my team.

he could have been traded to the Padres instead of quitting.

We've all lost players before for a variety of reasons, but this one is rather special. I think you should come up with a particularly un-holy team name to honor his decision.
