I wouldve taken Young if you wouldnt have.

That's why I took Cano....even if he only gets back up around .285-.290, it'll help balance out Dunn.

There's been a lot of good value picks recently, fine work, Gents!

Been watching Mauer for a few rounds. Figured I could pass on him at 6 since three of the four before me already had catchers.

For all intents and purposes, I still don't have a 3B yet.

That first 8 weeks or so is gonna seem like forever, methinks.

Fuck.

Disregard last message Toes. I didn't know he was taken.

Vriez, I hate you.

X2 - lots of young talent out there still at 3B, I'm in no hurry.

DAmn, this is moving too fast now. I have an F'n article to write!

How can I write when you guys are raping my Q?

I'm really shocked Mauer lasted that long, and it's a great value pick. I still wanted nothing to do with him this year after a full year last year. I really don't know what his durability is at this point and I'm playin the safe route.

No doubt it is. All the nagging injuries already, an injured past, and coming off a full season while catching a lot of games scared the shit out of me. Part of the reason why I reached on Martin so much.

Even with all those issues, he's still my #1 rated catcher. Was thrilled to have him there.

I love Mauer too. All he needs is some HGH to keep him on the field! Smile

Yeah, it got to the point that I started to look at him. Since I still had no MI and already had Martin, Young was a no-brainer for me.

Well, your Young pick forced my hand with the Jeter pick. I'm expecting almost identical production.

Fair enough. Need has to play a role in draft decisions from time to time. For me, Mauer was a no-brainer.

I've been texting Boz all day, so if we can get quick I'll have his pick.

Anyone following the tourny? Just heard on the radio that Calhoun is being taken to a hospital and will miss at least game 1. No details on what is wrong with him though.

I don't know. Didn't he once say it had something to do with his performance in the bedroom?
