So, between Bedard, Aramis, and Manny, there went my top 3 picks that I had hoped would make it back around to me...

sterlingice · 03-06-2008, 02:45 PM

Draft board and Yahoo have been updated. I'm on call tonight and already have calls scheduled for 3:30 and 5 and that doesn't include the hour long commute home so updates on my end might be a bit slow but that shouldn't stop anyone from picking...

SI

MizzouRah · 03-06-2008, 02:46 PM

Yeah, I may end up regretting that, but I've got too many questions about SPs to give a fourth rounder there.

Couldn't decide between he and Verlander, but my Tigs fandom won out. I do think Verlander will win the AL Cy this year though, so I am not upset I took him, but if Bedard had been there he would've been mine.

I think I feel more for you than me. Jon had strep 3 times last year including in January and had to have his tonsils out. Sounded pretty bad.

Mine have been out for years.. although this is the first time I've been really sick in a few years.

Toddzilla · 03-06-2008, 08:30 PM

I used to get strep 3-4 times a year and my doctor kept telling me not to bother with my tonsils. Finally I'd had enough and went to an ear,nose&throat doctor and he told me my tonsils were the worst he'd ever seen and I needed them out 10 years ago. Had the surgery in December of 2005 to take them out and I haven't been sick since.

Anyways, on to my pick...

5.9 Robinson Cano

Ok, draft post and league are updated thru 5.9. I'm kindof tempted to get lazy and just start cutting and pasting the Yahoo draft page results instead of typing it in myself (see draft post currently)

With some old friends heading to Toronto this year (Eckstein and Rolen), I think Toronto could give it a decent run and it all starts with Halladay.

I almost picked Rios here...

6.3 3B - Ryan Zimmerman

sterlingice · 03-07-2008, 09:09 AM

I was glad that only 2 the three on my board were picked (McCann, Kazmir) so at least I can still get the last of my three picks:
