I'm certainly not going to wait until 1/20 to make my pick, but it prolly won't be in until tomorrow at the earliest, as this is my late night at work, as I teach an adult class Monday evenings.
(Plus, I haven't done any research yet, so that's a thing too.)
Pick should be in by sometime tomorrow evening. Thanks,
JIm

Ha! Not sure I'm qualified to give pointers in that realm, but thanks for the props!
Onto my last-minute draft research. Brace yourself for someone grindery.

Well, Jim's pick sure as fuck ruined my plans.

Really? Gurriel wasn't already drafted? Great pick, JIm.

I’m sure not used to these responses. Usually it’s...
1. That’s not a legal pick. He’s too old. 2. That guy is on someone else’s roster. 3. That guy is also on someone else’s roster. 4. Who is that guy? Never heard of him.
I think I need a cigarette,

Since a couple assholes took the two players I had targeted with the two picks before mine I was left to find a Plan C. Had this pretty much narrowed down to three guys. A high ceiling reliever, an outfielder with below average power, or Newton who has above average power and plays a passable shortstop. I know he'll likely move off short but I like his offense and think it will play almost anywhere.

I had Carlson, Roederer, Newton all right there on my queue at this part of the draft and Valera closely behind.

I am amazed Luis Garcia lasted as long as he did. I was slowly getting more and more excited that he might fall to me. I think Cleveland got the steal of the draft right here.

Normally I'd be highly suspicious of division rivals complimenting my draft picks, but I felt pretty good about getting Garcia so I'll take it at face value.

I'm only slightly angry that I took Howard over Tarnok. If it were even a little bit closer on my rankings list, Tarnok would have won the tie-breaker for better name. Damnit, Freddy Tarnok, your name is too strong!

I'm pretty sure I know who I'm taking but I want to sleep on it.

I say this every year and I mean it every year. The league as a whole has become so much better at drafting than we were years before. You all went through my draft list like a fat kid in a candy store. You took everything.
Luckily Flores got 2 games in the GCL to become draft eligible. I usually stay clear of SS talent because most have subpar power. Flores should have at least league average power with a league average bat if he develops as expected. That was the difference maker for me.

Prediction here:
Brock Burke will be the seal of the draft.
