Prozach: Oct 30, 2013; When God invented Lycra, he was thinking about Divas matches.

Taking a risk here with my Miller pick. Most projection systems loved the guy going into the year, but right now in real life his OPS is sub .500.

I figure since I'm playing in YS3, and I can stick him at 1B rather than ask him to patrol the OF, Trumbo's not a bad pick here.

At least most of you have gifable teams. Fairly sure the Padres are the least gifable team in MLB.

At least Morinco kept the creepy Vitale head I put on there. :unsmith:

Detroit beat you to it by 3 picks, unless you are counting C.

Also, Neil Walker is a good pick, especially in this league since his primary weakness is being injury-prone. In the NLE, I like him better than Ian Kinsler for Washington and he was taken a cool 106 picks later (though I think that says more about Kinsler than Walker).

e: Bonus infielder-drafting factoid, the only division to be full up at an everyday position is ALE second basemen.

A slightly understandable mistake by KC because nobody ever put Rendon in the players taken tab. He was still listed properly in the draft though.
