Not bad for picking 9th, if I may say so.

 

Hey 'gola, check your e-mail. I've made a proposal (and no, I did not go down on one knee, either ).

 

Not one, two.

 

Yeah, I left the door wide open on that one. Well played, Rumps.

 

Here's mine. I don't know what to think about it. Then again, I picked 11th.

I left midway because I had some interviews, but I'm not upset with my team.

1. (2) Jose Reyes SS
2. (23) Dan Haren SP
3. (26) Carlos Lee OF
4. (47) Garrett Atkins 1B,3B

OK, I'll play. I too feel pretty good, but it certainly is an odd draft.

1. (6) David Wright 3B
2. (19) Carl Crawford OF
3. (30) Mark Teixeira 1B
4. (43) Russell Martin C
5. (54) Troy Tulowitzki SS

14. (163) Todd Jones RP
15. (174) Ian Snell SP
16. (187) Brandon Lyon RP
17. (198) George Sherrill RP
18. (211) B.J. Ryan RP
19. (222) Shaun Marcum SP,RP
20. (235) Kerry Wood RP
21. (246) Jose Guillen OF

 

Kerry Wood is battling back spasms. It stuns the hell out of me because I don't think he's ever been on the DL.

Having said that, I was going to make him my last pick if he still was available.

 

Sorry, I think he's still the leader in the clubhouse for the job. And is available for the right price. Or you can choose from any of my other closers.

 

That's what I read as well. I'm just saying that the injury woes are no surprise.

 

Why was it an odd draft? Because I kept drafting pitchers?
