I gotta have this guy on my team.

Neon Deion Sanders

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

Bartolo Colon SP

 

[Eephus]

Wish I knew why I picked Terry Mulholland.

Blame it on Canada?

That was my worst pick in three drafts. I was gonna take Bosio or some other guy and I just picked because I was in a rush. Might take his cheapest season and cut my losses.

He has a great pickoff move

14.14 - Greg Swindell, SP

 

[Hoos First]

Jon Nunnally, OF

he available?

I played against him in baseball from ages 12-15. He hit so many HR's and he was a very good pitcher. His nickname was "boo-kie"

BradyMarino - OTC (Clock up @ xx:04)

 

[jfranco77]

Eric Steven King (born April 10, 1964) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB). He may be best known for giving up Ken Griffey, Jr's first career Major League home run

Always loved the white Fleer cards and it's hard to pass up a good Toys R Us card

 

[rodg12]

Honored to select the ballplayer that held me when I was nine months old. First time I have been able to in one of these things.OF Tim RainesGoing to try to use his full season, but he has a good 486 PA season I can fall back on.

He's gone. Koya took him at the turn.

 

[Brady Marino]

Thanks for ruining a good story, koya. Hang on.

 

[Koya]

Thanks for ruining a good story, koya. Hang on.

I Jew my best

 

[Brady Marino]

Sorry for the delay. Doing this on a phone with sub-optimal internet sucks. Plus, not getting Raines put a dark cloud on what should have been a good day.

OF Willie McGee

Another favorite from my youth. But he's no Raines. :(

Yeah, truck stop wifi is always spotty. Hang in there, good buddy.

Still to this day, I have never seen a ballplayer get heckled like McGee did in Arlington. We all know he isn't a handsome man, but there was a large group in the stands that felt the need to remind him for 9 straight innings. He never flinched though. I'm sure he was banging hotter women than anyone in the stands that day.

Arsenal still owes rounds 12, 13, and 14?

At final destination, GB. In hotel room where hotel wifi doesn't reach, so using roaming 3G internet that randomly decides when or when not to connect.

 

[Doug B]

That was my worst pick in three drafts. I was gonna take Bosio or some other guy and I just picked because I was in a rush. Might take his cheapest season and cut my losses.

Might have to do this myself with a guy or two

14.20 - Geronimo Pena (2B)

Took me 3 picks and nearly 7.5 mil, but I now own the best 700 PA second baseman in the league.

 

[Kraft...]

My entire 2B plan destroyed in 2 picks POOF <_<
