And then Reds took Wally Backman. Oof.

Backman (10/717/124) has the least power for all second basemen and his speed is liability at 124. He has never been a full time starter in any season, so I guess he'll get to prove his stuff unless Reds grabs another 2B to compete with him. Reds has had the worst draft I have ever seen although he did salvage it somewhat with his SP's.

And while on the subject of second basemen, Nacho and Shooty still have to make their picks for 2B. It'll be interesting to see who gets selected. I don't think a draft has gone this deep without a starting position player selected. Anyways, the 2B left won't dominate, but there are some 2B left who can give you good enough production at the 8-hole. I recall a 2B that once played for the mighty Empire hit 3 triples in one game!

[Shooty]

This fucker ground to a halt.  Who is up and how much tome do they have left?  We're picking the dregs now so we shouldn't have any problems skipping anyone at this point. 

[Darky]

Tempo is up, but technically team TBG can make their pick since Tempo's time window expired last night 54 minutes before  9pm. If TBG makes their pick, I'm sure Tempo will have plenty of time to make his pair of picks since nomaaaa takes about the entire two hours on every single pick. Yesterday was a slow one with the draft.

[Darky]

In for the fuck of it, I may put a ROM together of the playoff teams from seasons IV, V, and VI and run a tournament.

[Nacho]

So now even the team run by three members can't make their pick? FFS...

[GDavis]

I thought I picked last night

[Shooty]

Temp was skipped at 8:06 last night.  GDavis and friends were skipped at 10:06 am today.  nomaaa has until 12:06. 

[GDavis]

[Shooty]

Wrong

[Nacho]

Strassy's might be better because his lineup is set up to bypass the pitcher entirely.

[Nacho]

Has nomaaa still not made his pick?
