We had all sports but baseball... I figure this might interest more people than hockey.

To be honest, I don't follow baseball at all since the Expos left Montreal, but I'm willing to try...

Nic, as a complete fuckwit when it comes to baseball - do I have to do anything to get players in this draft or can I just leave it to pick for me? The only 'draft' I know about is beer... :beer2:

Yes, it will draft the best player for you if you are not there... don't worry.

You can also pre-rank your players if you are not there.

Although obviously when it comes to rookies and other stuff, it's always nice to be there... but for me too, I didn't follow baseball over the last 2 years, so I don't know much about it anymore.

For me, Vladimir Guerrero is still the best :p

pre-ranked my faves-that is fun tho vladdy? he is soooo fun to watch...swings at anything man

Given Shug's success-you will do fine

Well, the arrival of the (hopefully) promising expansion team The Master Shakes, pride of the Great Northwest, gives the league an even dozen teams.

Very well........I hope. :lol: Have to admit that I really wanted David Wright on my team, dunno who I would've chosen if I'd had first pick.

Looking at my roster, almost half of it is from the American League Central, an oddity in itself as I'm obviously a National League fan. Oh well, this should be fun, season starts in a little over an hour.

Had to laugh that Barry Bonds went undrafted for so long though.

I know it's bad form (usually) to quote one's own posts, but Mr. Wright just hit a home run.

i wasn't at home for the draft and i just looked at my team. i've never heard of any of the players and i have no idea what half of the letters next to their names mean. so i will just sit back and see what happens, rather than educate myself about the game of baseball. call it blind faith.
