Yeah, can't really do much with him, tough to let him slide there. I'm watching A.Villa-Man City football game, I'll come in halftime and check for my turn to pick

And thus the question of, "Will Brandon Phillips fall to me at the end of the fourth round?" is answered.
Which leads to another question.......Is there an offensive category that I'm not aware of which consists of how many top 15 second baseman can you get on your roster?

Excellent pick Ivar. I think Darvish is going to have a dominant season this year. I was hoping to get him with one of my next picks.

Lol are we going to make it before the season starts? We have plenty of time. Even though we are only drafting in the 6th round, most teams already have 9-10 players on their team, so we're actually getting close to halfway. That said....only getting through 5 picks yesterday is an unsustainable pace if we are to make it in time. But I'm not worried as yet. It's a strange time in the draft. As I mentioned, there are already ~120 players off the board...so it feels weird taking guys like Asdrubal Cabrera at 5.12. Really weird. It takes some extra convincing (for myself anyway) to make those picks in those rounds. But he's actually the 11th player on my roster, so you have to look at it that way. While he will have very little chance to be one of my keepers next year, he does actually make sense to take him where I took him in this context. I think that particular distortion in this type of draft was the hardest for me to wrap my head around because it's so different from the perception you have in a "normal" draft.

Yeah, I just spent more than an hour going between Gallardo and some other picks I had in mind. Gotta think 2-3 rounds ahead having Panda make me sit out 8th. Pretty sure all my ideas will be gone before they reach me

Just in case you guys miss the email, the league has been started on Yahoo.
I input all the picks through round 6 and Eric had already updated all keepers. If you guys could add every player you pick from round 7 forward, that would be great.
It should be a LOT easier for everyone to know who is available, make trade offers, etc. and it might even help the draft move forward a little quicker (less debating over certain players, knowing everyone that is available).
Also, it really hurt seeing the top 5 guys on my list fly off the board at the end of the 5th and beginning of the 6th. I HAD planned on taking Papelbon (he was my 9th player, so it was a good spot), but Ortiz was not really in the plans, until those guys disappeared.
Just hope the top two guys on my list don't disappear by round 8.

That awkward moment when your top 3 picks are still alive and there is only 1 pick before yours and you got to sit the next round.

James, I had a tough time not taking Riveria, but the youth on the side of Wilhelmsen swung my pick in his favor. Plus, the Yankees keep imploding with Grandy and Teix getting hurt. Glad I am not a Yankee fan.

Glad I am not a Yankee fan. I am a big Wilhelmsen fan. I had hoped he would drop to the 8th round, so it sucks seeing you draft him. Still have a few big closers on my list, so hopefully one makes it to my 9th rd pick.
