You, sir, are too modest. Tell the people the real story... because that hell hole wouldn't allow me anywhere near Google chat. You would go to Yahoo Finance and post the last ten picks on a penny stock message board. Acts like these are not seen in modern WIS times.Hey RnR>remember back in the day when you worked in the Krispy Kreme frosting vault and you couldn't post your picks here? Remember who went to Google chat to get those picks and post them here along with numerous donut anecdotes?Can you clean up the draft picks post please? Pretty please? Sugar on top if needed.
That's right, your good buddy Dr D. :dipsdonut: in
Now that I'm management material at Dunkin', it's all good baby.

I forgot about Yahoo Finance, JFC. I thought it was Yahoo something but knew it wasn't chat.

Get used to it. No sense in updating two places, so cut and paste from Google Doc is going to be the format.
ETA: In all seriousness, just use CTRL+F for a quick and dirty search on the first page. If you need it to look pretty, the Google Doc is much easier to follow.

I can fix the google doc a bit so the cut and paste is prettier.

Bless you.
EDIT: FWIW, when I cut and paste it into FBG, it looks like a nifty little chart. Something gets lost in translation when I hit submit though.

All Eds, all the time!
2.19 SS Big Ed Delahanty
Big Ed Delahanty (grabbing ankles, left) was one of the true superstars of baseball in the 1890s, and became one of the first great power hitters in the sport. He was part of the famed 1894 Phillies outfield that claimed four .400 hitters, with Big Ed ripping them at a .407 clip. Between 1894-1899, he was unstoppable, with a .388 batting average and an average of 115 RBIs per year. He batted over .400 three times, the only player other than Ty Cobb and Rogers Hornsby to do so three times. He held the Phillies record for most consecutive games with a hit (31) until 2005, when Jimmy Rollins broke it with a hit in 35 straight. According to the Baseball Page.com, Delahanty was the 14th greatest left fielder of all time. According to Philliesnation.com, he was the 4th greatest Phillie of all time.
After the 1901 season, he jumped to the start up American League, and in his first season as a member of the Washington Senators, he won the AL batting title. To date, he is the only player to win batting titles in both the AL and the NL.
But playing for the hapless Senators wasn’t much fun, and Big Ed was starting to come unglued by booze and gambling. When he got too far in debt, he begged his teammates for money and threatened to kill himself if they didn’t help out.
In July of 1903, the Senators rolled into Detroit to take on the Tigers. On July 2nd, they lost 1-0 to fall to 16-43. Delahanty had had enough. Hoping to get back into the National League and hoping to see his estranged wife, he took a train bound for New York. It was a long train ride from Detroit to NYC, and Big Ed decided to down five shots of whiskey. The liquor made him uncontrollable. He pulled a woman by her ankles out of her berth, then began threatening passengers with a razor. Finally, the conductor decided to stop the train near Niagara Falls before crossing into the US. He told Delahanty to not make trouble because he was still in Canada. The drunken Delahanty slurred, “I don’t care whether I’m in Canada or dead.” It was a prescient reply. The conductor kicked him off the train, and a few minutes later Delahanty, trying to cross the train bridge into the United States, fell to his death below. There are some people who believe he was murdered and some who think he committed suicide. But most people think that one of the greatest ballplayers of all time simply made a bad drunken decision, and his body was found a week later at the base of Niagara Falls. He was 35 years old.

Target Field opened in 2010. If it's not allowed I will take New Busch Stadium. Busch II. We all know when you have the choice between new bush and old bush you take new bush, unless it will lead to alimony and losing half your stuff.

Well, work made me risk my life anyway. But I do what I can.Meanwhile, Sparty risks his lives and the lives of others to come through and pick for his bros.
On Monday I spent about 3 hours digging my car out of its parking space and various snowdrifts before eventually needing a nice guy with a big truck to pull me up a hill. Not wanting a repeat of that, I decided to stay the night with my grandparents who live closer to my work rather than driving back down the hill. They are not tech savvy, so I had no online access there.
I should be OK going forward though. I had to scramble on the Mantle pick but fortunately I've been in enough of these that I know the top seasons pretty well.

Kind of regretting going with Kauff in the 1st round. Not because he's a bad player (he's not), but I really think taking two pitchers early was the shark move.

I gave Boudreau a real good look before deciding I needed to get an ace. Slick defense to go with the bat makes him good value.I think you're right about the 40s.Wanted Duffy here so I'm going with a combination of position and decade scarcity*

Hey new guy, you're not supposed to be making good picks right off the bat. You're supposed to have drafted Jack Morris and Nolan Ryan because you're new to this.
