I'm a little jaded...what with having BP's top prospect go down with TJ. F*ck pitchers.

Maitan wildcard. The next Arod or could be bagging your groceries. Who knows...

I lost Max Fried for nearly two years to TJ.
Danny Hultzen - never knew ya.

Oscar Taveras.

Yea, that one was brutal.

Btw, congrats on your new mouth to feed. Is that #2?

Acuna is another interesting pick. I've seen him ranked all over the place - high, mid, low. I think he will be solid.

Hoping so. It was between him and Mejia and the decision was made for us. Definitely wouldn't have gotten him with the 18th pick .... (?)...

Also, Venice, I know RB contributed to this (including dropping Colome goddammit) but what an impressive glut of RPs. Jesus.

This is kiddo #3. The first 2 were boys and the wife talked me into trying for a girl. Thank god this is a girl otherwise she'd probably push for a 4th.

A little nervous about being outnumbered by kids. 😨

Man, I wanted Rutherford.

I'm sorry O__o

Probably the best value pick so far. Figured the last of that tier of outfielders would make an owner happy.

Up until the picks of Rutherford and Delvin Perez, I was contemplating to see if I could trade to get another first round pick. Good value on both of those selections.
I'm very happy to have gotten O'Neill at 11. He was #6 on my board.

I was between Rutherford and Soto for about 20 minutes and ultimately went with upside over leadtime. We'll see, I guess.

I never put Sandy Alcantara on my draft list because I mixed him up with Raul and thought he had MLB experience.

So anyway, I'm looking for 2 more replacements in my $25 league, several people in this league are in it. Taking last call and also asking for any leads, would be appreciaed thanks!

Did we get confirmation from AW? Aware he is OTC?


It would be great to pick up the pace today.

My top 20 according to average of 23 different prospect lists, not necessarily my opinion but interesting anyway:

1.Nick Senzel
2.Francisco Mejia
3.Mitch Keller
4.Corey Ray
5.Mickey Moniak
6.Jason Groome
7.Tyler O'Neill
8.Kyle Lewis
9.Blake Rutherford
10.Triston McKenzie
11.Zack Collins
12.Ronald Acuna
13.Riley Pint
14.A.J. Puk
15.Willie Calhoun
16.Kevin Maitan
17.Braxton Garrett
18.Matt Manning
19.Delvin Perez
20.Cal Quantrill

That is interesting. We clearly had an anti-pitcher bias in the 1st round.

There goes my guy I tried to trade up to get

bobby dalbec good pick KILLERS

Yeah well I was hot on Jamai Jones and you sniped that one

this was pretty close to my list; an average of 6 different prospect lists. the pitching discount showed up in this draft.

Trade Announcement:
Deep Freeze Receives
Pick 46
Pick 106

Baez's Blunders Receives
Pick 52
Pick 64

Deep Freeze is on the clock.

If I should announce this someplace else, let me know.

Yeah in the Trade Outpost. You need approval from 2 commissioners to proceed. I approve so you need 1 more.

My mistake on Slaughter's picks remaining. I had mistakenly credited you with one other pick but caught my error. I've reinstated the 2nd pick in round 3. Sorry about that.

Hey Penny, Killers, or Czar, I should have my 5th round pick. I currently have 11 of 12 on my MiLB team.

You have only made 4 correct? Killers has you down for 5 total.

I removed the strike through.

Yup only made 4 picks so far, thanks!

I just posted on Yahoo but it probably makes more sense to post here for now.
When will we go live on yahoo? This thing looks like it will wrap up tomorrow.

Nice pick Czar. I had Trevor Clifton on my top 20 list.

We set March 26th for waivers in the initial pre-season schedule. It probably makes sense to keep that date. That would be a week before the season begins.

Thanks. I kept double checking that he wasn't already owned. He went way earlier in my other two dynasties.

The draft is over (once Fung wa picks). 85 picks in total. 8 days.  

For those who are interested in how this compares to prior years, here are the stats:

total of 87 picks in 2013
total of 86 picks in 2014
total of 82 picks in 2015
total of 85 picks in 2016
total of 85 picks in 2017

The 2012 draft took 9 days, Mar 16 to 24, 2012.
The 2013 draft took 11 days, Mar 15 to 25, 2013.
The 2014 draft took 8 days, Mar 17 to 24, 2014.
The 2015 draft took 5 days, Mar 19 to 23, 2015.
The 2016 draft took 7 days, Mar 15 to 21, 2016.
The 2017 draft took 8 days, Mar 16 to 23, 2017.

I'll be updating the owned and service times lists in the next few days so it is available before waivers begin on the Yahoo site.
