Can we get like five picks in a row without a skip please?

Collmenter is good, well, for a fifth starter. I'm not sure about his durability, so I might move him to long relief and get another starter.

Also stop taking all the relievers please.

I think it took at least 2 months for the last draft to finish but I don't know if they sped up the clock this much at this point.

I wasn't originally going to drop it to two hours this early but the last two+ rounds changed my mind.

Clippard was a rushed pick since I wanted a reliever but didn't want to hold up the pick train so I hope he works out.

Exactly. However, I imagine phone posters find it more convenient to look over the lengthy list of draftees.

It was just a note from Zodiac (Washington) saying he had a doctor appointment at 430 and to skip him if he took more than 15 minutes.

And yeah, go hog wild.

The sad part about this is that the real life Mets acutally used to bat Ike clean-up all time. I'm also pretty sure the Pirates have done this a few times this season too.

Yeah, I'll take that trade, so you're up.

EDIT: I know the clock on this pick runs out in 15ish minutes, but please give IcePhoenix some time to actually pick. It's not his fault I couldn't get out of work to accept the trade until about 10 minutes ago.

The A's lineup so far is 6 righties and 1 switch hitter. The rotation is all right handed pitching. Someone didn't think about handedness while drafting!
