5.01 Chris Young, OF - Arizona

 

[Eephus]

Pretty good chance I'm not going to be around much today, so if my pick comes up Oso can go ahead and take the reigns. I should be back into things around the middle of next week.

i got your back. and "middle of next week" sounds a lot better than i was fearing last night. If you have any direction you'd like me to go in, please send a PM. Otherwise, i'm drafting right off my prepared rankings (with allowances for positions already filled, of course).

Thanks. I have a spinal cord contusion and central cord syndrome from a disk protrusion in my neck. Apparently I was a couple of millimeters away from potentially being paralyzed, but the surgery to correct it (cervical disk fusion) is fairly routine as far as operations around the spinal cord go.

Thanks for the additional info and best of luck next week. If you and Oso have it covered, I can remove the co-owner stuff from the thread heading. Let me know.

It will depend a lot on how many PAs Furcal is able to put on the board this year.

that's why i put him at 6 for now... I don't want to depend on him for the 1-4 spots (and I like Martinez at 5), but I think that, if healthy, he'll have a great season (as he's played good baseball his whole career, just had some injury issues the last 3 years)...but 420 PAs should be like 120 or so games or so if used later in the lineup...
