I did a lot of minor league deep diving the other night trying to find guys other than recent draftees to target. Ortiz was one of the best I found. Nice pick, Johnny.

I had no idea Henry-Malloy was available. Damn it.

I've done a couple of saves in OOTP now, one in 23 and one in 24. In both of them, Ortiz has become a perennial MVP candidate. If it wasn't for OOTP, I would've never heard of the dude.

Sorry all, I only knew who I was taking for 2.05. And I stupidly only have one of my two spreadsheets I need on my Google Drive to access on my phone. The other is on my laptop at home and I need to see that before picking. Should be around 530pm EST.

Ty Floyd was going to be my pick if he made it to me. Too bad he went to a division rival. Thankfully it was only the Yankees.

1. It is my birthday.
2. I have been informed that I am on the clock, and have been for 10 hours now.
There’s just a whole helluva’ lot happening here.

Its not as though I have an alarm set on my watch for 11:12 pm tonight hoping you haven't made your pick yet. I was going to put in a gif of someone checking their watch but saw Lynda Carter in the Wonder Woman costume and all blood left my brain.

Hernaiz was probably my pick. Excellent get. And then Matt taking more San Francisco voodoo magic. They have been working wonders with pitching of late. not sure who will even be left for me. Might have to draft a HS pitcher.

I know I'm probably popping McGraw too early, but I think he may have the most upside of anyone available once he gets back from his second TJS in four years. I wanted to make sure I got him so I'm taking no chances.

Fuck you, Colby. So.... much.... anger. The word "Colby" actually translates as "One who induces fury through mediocrity" in Native Osage, the original inhabitants of the Cincinnati area.

The question is if you stick to it and take a draft-and-follow kid like Colton Hartman next and hope he becomes a 1st round talent during his three years at Louisville.

Leaving value on the table to take the guy I wanted. Announced or not, it is still frustrating to leave "better" players out there in favor of a gimmick. I stand by my comment.

You’re crazy if you think I’m drafting on name alone. Idk how I can be overdrafting players when I’m picking them basically within a few picks of their actual draft slot when you factor in the previously drafted players that aren’t available. Maybe you just have unrealistic expectations of a guy ranked in the top 50 across multiple publications falling to you in the 3rd round or whenever your next pick is.

Had I not gone #fullgrindr mode with the Meckler pick, O. Basabe was surprisingly the very next guy on my list.
Great pick, Mark.

I swear I can remember being pissed at Tracy for drafting Basabe years ago. I was even pissed about it again this year when doing draft prep. Apparently I merged my MLBSA memories into NSBL when I left that shitfest with the cheating admins.
I also got what I deserved for trading my 3rd round pick to Sean and then missing out on my next target who was autodrafted 1 pick later.

With so many teams assigned to the autodraft this year, it's forced me to prioritize players from the MLB draft. I am almost certain that my preferred target at 4.9 will be gone and I'll default back into this years amatuer class.

That Saggese pick really has me hot under the collar to open my Thursday. I can pretty much count on the following GMs to screw me and take my grinders:
KC CHW MIA

Normally it feels like we're fighting for table scraps by late in the second round. This draft still has plenty of meat left on the bone. That said, I'm afraid it's because of how many vacant teams are selected by auto-draft v analysis and research.

Hey sorry guys. I was away camping with my family with no internet connection all weekend. The 2 picks ahead of me must've been made right after I left.
Thanks for not cuck'ing me, Mark. I can have a pick in soon. On it now.
