I prefer to do the draft this way since so many people can't make a live draft often times. This way everyone gets to pick who they want and everyone can be happy from the standpoint. Live drafts often end up favoring people who are present. And they're all too time consuming. So start picking now and hopefully we'll be done with the first 2 rounds before draft time in the game. I will then take lists for the 3rd round and auto the rest.

[redsrbetter]

SD takes Kevin "Count" Krout

Houston PMd

[CrimsonTribe]

2B Elder "Gilbert" Arenas (can you edit his jersey number to 0 by any chance?)

NY(A) PMed

[Dry1313]

OF Billy "Noodle Arm" Swanger

NY (N) PMD

[bwitty24]

Here's a risky pick but I am going to go with SP Lefty Grove Jr. If him and Stone both pan out the Mets could be quite good for many years to come.

[mntwinsfan]

Twins select:

Gail "Hard Way" Dayton 3rd base. He will become a 1st baseman.

This was a tough choice. I have several team needs. sp/1b/c/4th outfielder.
I think the pitching will be around for several rounds. The hitters will go fast. One of the better draft classes of all time. Nice list prov!

[perforatededge54]

Ralph "Malph" McCluney

[Puravida]

Eduardo Tijerina for Baltimore

Cincy notified.

[Big Mac 07]

Reds select second baseman John "Mason" Dixon

[bjd2933]

Oakland Selects SP Frank "Brett" Butler

[BrianDawkins]

Cleveland selects SP Ignacio "Slappy" Rondo

[Shadow29]

It was tough to decide whether I needed offense or more pitching. But you can never have enough Pitching I suppose.

SP Hiu "Domo-Kun" Matsuta

[missionhockey21]

Man, what a tough decision. I've gone back and forth between about five, but I really need a potential star in the infield for the future.

Marlins take 2B Elder "Gilbert" Arenas

Sorry man, I already took him w/ the 3rd pick.

[missionhockey21]

Thanks for letting me know and I apologize. My connection was awful yesterday and while I checked on most, my connection was dying so much that I took someone I overlooked and posted it without even knowing if it made it as the browser hanged and then died on me.

Marlins will go with the original pick intended:
C Jesus "Dome" Pantaleon
