If you can land me the Mets I can vacate the Twins to someone with deeper knowledge

Alright, here's the update. We have 11 teams still open. DBAH0 has the White Sox since he picked them first. If you wanted a random selection you have a team and it is denoted by (random) so in case someone wants to select that spot they can bump the randomly selected user. This way the most people can be happy with who they have. Also, I decided to allow doubles now, but again they can be bumped as well to allow more users if necessary. Finally, the 1st pick has been randomly taken by Punch and Judy Garland.

I'll take a team...doesnt matter to me so you can just give me a random selection

Finally, the 1st pick has been randomly taken by Palehosefan.

 

I'm sorry Dan but I'm not sure what you mean. Punch has the 1st pick of the draft, then again its 2 AM in the morning and maybe I'm just missing something here.

Ha, I thought the same thing, good, it's not just me.

Palehose can have it, no problem by me. I can't handle that sort of pressure

Yeah it doesn't really matter to me either. If we fill all the slots up and someone wants to select 1st overall, be my guest.

I'd like the Mariners then. Keep in mind I know nothing about the draft.

He wanted to get another pick and wanted it to be random. He got the 1st pick. What is so hard about this that no one understands what is going on?

Oh I get it. I put in the wrong name. Sorry.

Do we have a day picked Danman? Is it Sunday? Just curious. The Weaver/Drew thing has sort of shaken things up a bit now that they signed. I wonder if there is a backstage deal for a Boras client underway at #1 instead of Upton

Well, I'm going to be gone Friday thru Monday now in the land of all that is Minnesotan. So I don't know how I'm gonna do this.

I want to get this started as soon as we fill up the teams. I'm going to allow people to take as many teams as they want, just say so in this thread.

 

We have 8 openings remaining: Blue Jays (6), Devil Rays (8), Pirates (11), Yankees (17), Cubs (20), Red Sox (23, 26), Astros (24), Twins (25).

I don't see any reason why we just can't start and then if there's no one around, the resident Italian can make the pick.

I was thinking something like that, but I'm going to give people another day to sign up.

Alright Heads convinced me to start it today. I'll make another thread that will have all the details and rules.

 

I'm still allowing sign ups for the opens spots. I'll PM all the people that have signed up saying that it's starting and will send another PM when it's their pick if they forget. I figure this might hit a few snags along the way that would make it hard to get done in 2-3 days. That's the hope, but that's only if everything goes smoothly.

 

Again, signups are still open.

If possible, I'll do Tampa Bay.

I'll take Toronto I suppose. I know pretty much nothing about them other than their top young players (McGowan, Bush, Rios, etc) and the fact that they follow a "moneyball" philosophy that favors college players.

 

Either way, sounds like fun. Count me in.

I will take the Astros.

I'll take the Bucs, Dan.

I can take the Twins to. I will make sure to draft someone really bad.

As much as I hate both franchises, I can take the Cubs and/or Red Sox picks that nobody has offered to do yet.
