About to be unavailable for the next 90 minutes or so. Sent a list to Greco, since he's immediately after me. If all four of the guys on the list go, I guess we're taking a break.

Snack time?

Maybe you forgot about the potential text storm™ that could occur in this scenario.

I may be a victim of my own success. I think I'm overthinking every pick. I've got guys ranked well above Burnett, but not crazy about them for various reasons.

 

[Frostillicus]

WORST TO FIRST:

16. Shukes Flukes - and this was ever before the Burnett pick. I hate almost everybody on this team. I was just joking about the Weeks/Reynolds infield, but other than Kershaw and Frazier I can't imagine drafting any of these guys.

15. Punch & PEDS Dad - hate all these guys. Shuke's team is probably better.

14. Puffy Nip Lovers - If Hamilton and Reyes play a lot and stuff this will be a decent team. They won't.

13. Escargot My Cargo - My favorite team name. I love Verlander and Cargo is a solid pick (even if he's the fake CarGo, right Larry) but I hate all the guys after that.

12. Nevernudes - Great first 2 rounds, good next 2 rounds, and then it all went to ####.

11. TREZilla - Sorry GB. The strategy of drafting all the old and injured dudes could end up being huge for you if it works out. I'm rooting for you.

10. Oops Max Innings - Not very exciting, but not too horrible either. I hate both the round 2 and round 3 pick though, so 10th it is.

9. Greek Economy - I quite honestly hate every single pick here outside of Kemp in round 1. It's a compliment to my intelligence and reason that I'm willing to put them this high because I recognize the chance I'm wrong, and traditional wisdom says many of these are decent picks.

8. Hoos. Prett solid job filling out the lineup. Lack of early pitching could be an issue but I like the last two picks a lot.

7. bubble puppy. Good draft through round 8. No idea where it's going now. I know things get weird but this is just I don't know.

6. Pump. Love this team. First two rounds couldn't have gone better (assuming no injuries) and ended up filling out the lineup while grabbing a few pitchers I really like. Maybe underrated.

5. RnR. Stunning lack of Cardinals make me wonder who is actually at the controls. If it wasn't for the Napoli pick (and, to a lesser extent the Sandoval/Konerko/Uggla picks) this would be number 1. Lincecum in the 11th is ridiculous.

4. #1 fan of Twins BB. Really well constructed team. Only pick I'd have issue with is Desmond just because he sucks and it feels too early. Maybe Ike too, but love the early picks and Fowler in the 8th is a great one. Nine through twelve pitcher picks were all perfect.

3. Brews-Beatz-Treatz. Zobrist and Bonifacio picks kind of throw me, but there's too much good here to make my boner go boner.

2. NanoCrystalSnythesis. So good could write a book on how to draft. Perfect balance between big hitters, pitchrers at the right spots, and filling in the tough positions. Big fan.

1. Baseball Jesus. Baseball Jesus indeed. When Ryan Howard gets hurt you'll all realize that was the only bad pick this team made all draft.
