Gentlemen, a
great first round. Lots of banter and
lots of solid picks. Mike Pichan says
Safeco, Schmafeco. My boy Robbie can hit
anywhere. Scott Gilroy takes Goldie
after the gimmes on top. Johnny Peppers
says Ryan Braun can hit without the juice.
And Marc Taylor is betting Tulo will give him a full season. Good job, gents. On to round two.

What’s that I
see? Ivar selecting a pitcher in the 2nd
round? Ivar says, “You come here,
Yu. It’s Yu and me.” Bob Sikon says ain’t no way he’s taking a
pitcher in the 2nd round.
This little Puigie when to Sikon.
And Steve Slukich takes Stanton – who hurt him badly last year. (Of course, it wasn’t enough to prevent Steve
from winning the Championship.) Steve
says the second time’s a charm and Giancarlo’s money this year. And Johnny Peppers stakes a claim to M.
Tanaka so he feels welcome here in the U.S. of A.

Mr. Michael
Huston likes Cubans – ex-pats and cigars.
The Justmenn each take their 2nd SP in the round. Brilliant or not so brilliant? Time shall tell. Marc Taylor says Kemp will be healthy and
that reports of his near fantasy death are greatly exaggerated. Ron Stockton has a need for speed. Bob Sikon takes a pitcher in the 3rd
round and proceeds to throw up. Chris
Fisher says reports of Pujols being unable to walk are also greatly exaggerated. Fun round.

Chris Sale, Madison Bumgarner & Matt Carpenter. (Rich’s recognition of these picks will be
honored at all Starbucks. Simply bring
in a printed copy of this post plus $2.50 and you will be all set for a grande coffee
of the day.) Bob Sikon threw off his SP
yoke to select another batter. Mike
Pichan says I want position flexibility and Kevin Justmann follows suit. Good job, gentlemen.

The draft took a
brief pause while Mr. Olin Forman shared his apprehension about taking an older
player who took a huge step forward mid-career and remains increbility bulked
and productive at a stated age of 38.
Probably just a coincidence. Ron
Stockton believes Werth is worth the net worth required a pick in round 5. Justin Verlander finally goes off the board
and Joel Henard says ‘average, smaverage.
Give me Pedro’s 30-35 home runs and I’ll be just fine, thank you.’

doesn’t care about batting average. Give him
Granderson’s 40 HR’s and he’ll be just fine.
Ron Stockton takes Matt Adams.
Matheny will find him 500 AB’s, right?
Bob Sikon takes a pitcher and doesn’t even flinch. Scott Gilroy has a need for speed. Johnny Peppers does not. Marc Taylor takes the hometown boy. Dom’s 2nd half swoon won’t happen
again, he says. And Joel takes a steady player whose post-hype career has been solid and dependable. Good round.

believes Trevor Rosenthal is ready for prime time (which he is). Scott Gilroy steals Matt Cain this late. Mike
Pichan likes that Mr. Fister goes to Washington. Steve Slukich nabs a dependable starter. Michael Huston begins solidifying his
pitching staff. Kevin Justmann sets a
personal record by taking his 3rd SP in his first 7 picks. Marc Taylor snipes Carlos B. from Mr.
Anderson who promises multi-personality revenge. Of course, special mention goes to Olin
Forman who selects Josh Hamilton for a record 343rd time. Chris Fisher gets good production this
late. Good job, all.

Rich stubbornly takes yet another SP because of his
supposed ranking system. Ivar exhibits a
man crush on Mr. Cole. Scott says
Andrelton Simmons will take another step forward. Joel stays with his multi-cultural
approach. Marc says Jennings will
finally play like he’s able. And Johnny
takes more power. There may be a
personal issue at work here.

We have passed
the hump round with all managers continuing to over-analyze and over-project –
with the exception of Johnny, of course.
Scott takes the NL Denton True Young winner one year removed. Chris says to not worry about Corbin’s 2nd
half swoon. Johnny selects Masterson but
doesn’t know why. Steve and Ron take
young powerhouses. A few other notable picks: Dunn to Ivar, Calhoun to Joel, Gattis to Ron,
Feliz to Olin, Teixeira to Lloyd, and the infamous B.J. Upton to Kevin. Good job, all.

Michael takes a

hope they got full closers. Ivar got a
steal even if De Aza has to share a little time. Kevin likes the big man to bounce back and
Scott has a need for massive speed. Mike
says Dan Haren will bounce back also.
(Dan and his fiancée bought my brother and sister-in-law’s house in
Walnut Creek, CA years ago. Dan was
starting the all-star game for the AL that year. My dear sister-in-law knew he played baseball
and was impressed with what a ‘nice young man’ he was.)

The managers continue to find quality in the player pool. Lot of solid picks. Gausman pick by Steve is intriguing. The boy had a 49/13 K/BB ratio last
year. The other numbers will fall into
place if he keeps that up. Rex Brothers
may get more saves in Colorado than Hawkins but time will tell. Another good round.

Lot of solid
picks the last few rounds. The Morse pick
will be great or a bust. I lean toward
great. Smyly is in line for a breakout
season. LaRoche is scheduled to do well given
that we are in an even-numbered year. Ruf
will hit for power. Lake combines speed
and power but will need to compete for playing time in Chicago. Johnson won’t hit .321 again but he’ll be
solid across the board. Kazmir: Ultimate
upside if he can stay healthy. Good job,
gentlemen.
