Good picks all around. If SF hasn't picked by the time I go to bed I will auto pick for him.

If you beat the autodraft, it's not too late.

I think my favorite part of this ridiculous exercise in endurance so far has been all the stupid pictures of Puntos as they're picked. I can take the time to try to find good ones for each of my picks, but I can't do it for all of baseball. Unless it's lincecum_sunflower_seeds.gif, it's all new to me, and it consistently cracks me the hell up. Why are ball players so messed up, anyway?

Honestly people who are going to maybe miss a pick should start doing this. Just pick a list of people in order of preference to a third party and the problem is solved.

Yeah I agree with this, though I imagine once we get into the later rounds it'll matter less whether we get auto picked or not. Either way there was actually a change of plans on my end so I'll be able to pick on time!

loving ditto. I had a SLIM, SLIM margin of hope he'd fall to me. I was really really really debating taking him over either Perez or Kipnis.

There's at least one Punto I'd love to get if he falls far enough because I think he'd make a decent bench bat even though he's never played in MLB.

It probably has something to do with his inability to take a walk.


Also, goddamnit I was really hoping that Chase Headley would fall to my pick.

He got his gold gloves because he's famous and hits well, just FYI.

The reason he fell this far is because of his glove. He's probably a good pickup this far down, though.
