Carlos Gomez put up a 130 wRC+ last season and was a top-tier defensive CF, and this season his wRC+ is up to 154. I keep waiting for him to regress hard, but until he does he absolutely deserves a high pick.

:glomp:

I'm new enough to fantasy spreadsheeting that I didn't just want numbers for my first pick. I wanted someone I've seen play. Gomie's totally a homer pick, no question about it.

That actually raises an interesting question because he's not injured but he sure is suspended.

Should I just axe any suspensions as well? I can only think of a couple that would matter, but I should have a ruling on it before it starts influencing a decision.

Is it too late for me (SF) to pick?

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?

After the JAP PLAY, I don't know that any hoping is a good idea anymore. That was the move of the draft so far. Two trades to get the right picks, and yanking them from Japanese ball? Makes me feel like I'm playing checkers when the rest of you are playing chess.

I'll have you chuckleheads know that I got to see Brian "Chris" Dozier play live last night, and dude was ON, much to the detriment of my beloved Crew. Here's hoping Ootpee matches reality.

How good was he? So good that a Brewers fan fell about 20 feet into the Brewers bullpen.
