TheKilo

The David Murphy who is 0-19 this season?

We can get some analysis of picks going, too. I would have selected Longoria over Wright myself. Longoria is going to be a special player in this league for a long, long time.

Bowie was a Yankee fan and a troll ans has since been banned.

Whiskeybreath is now on the clock.

Good half

If he's on a major league roster at the time you pick him he still counts as a major leaguer.

Methinks he's looking for a guy like Stephen Strasburg or Bryce Harper.

No.

Shhh wouldn't want to let facts get in the way

In a way. If you wanted to draft Miguel Cabrera and make him your catcher, more power to you, but you have to understand all of the things that comes with (ie your pitching staff will suffer tremendously). Things like park factors will not be of significance, think of making a team how they would perform in a perfectly neutral ballpark.

I'll do my best. Maybe I'll just go with last names, with first initial if need be.

Mark Grudzielanek! As a cosmetic note - can everyone's picks be made in bold from now on? It'll make it easier when I have to update the table.

With the third pick in the Anti-Fantasy League Draft, the Charlestown Chiefs select: http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/sp/v/mlb/players_l/20090407/6619.jpg?x=65&y=85&xc=1&yc=1&wc=164&hc=215&q=100&sig=uYHgXWtKr9U5NNnCqiJzRw-- Albert Pujols, 1B Rationale for this pick is pretty simple. Arguably the most consistent offensive performer of this decade and still *relatively* young at age 29. For the next five years, I would argue that this is just about as safe a pick as there can be, even at a position where offense can be made up with "lesser" overall players. The Bizarro Chicago Cubs are on the clock.

If need be we can reduce the time to pick to one day. If an individual misses one pick, they immediately pick upon entering the thread. If an individual misses two picks, they are out of the league and their picks are re-entered into the "pool"

It's a metaphor

Meh

that's fine. Rondo is a slight upgrade now (at best) but going forward I take Derrick Rose 100% of the time. Fair?

Last call for new entrants - it will be locked at 8 PM tonight when the draft order is revealed.

Yes. Like BoSox21, PM me with a list of players that you would pick (rank them) and your picks would be based off of that. I think we'll be done before then, but just in case.

I disagree. The Bulls do not have a Ray Allen or a Paul Pierce to help shoulder the load. Would they be a playoff team? Maybe. Would they be as good as they are now? I don't think so. No qualifier needed. If they are comparable overall players (Rondo being slightly better, I will concede) but it is Rose's first time against NBA-level competition but Rondo's third go-around, you don't think that sways the argument a bit?

Well for starters he was averaging about 92 on his fastball in his last outing.
