But I'm guessing I won't be the only one going after Albert Pujols  ;)

You're right there.

By the way, I left Ichiro-san alone for ya. Good luck

No problem, just keep your mitts off of Peavey.

Nope, been placed at the bottom ;)
Doesn't make too much odds though, you'll get 12th and 13th picks.

Was at Fenway Park on Tue night - didnt have a ticket so ended up watching the Sox from the micro brewery over the road. Got beat for the 2nd night running  :-[
One of their boys was trying in vain to explain the rules to me whilst drinking some brew with fookin blueberrys in it - whats that all about ???

Anyway the Sox seem to be the team with the history Fenway park being one of the most authentic and historic stadiiums in the U.S. of A a proper Baseball ground if you like - a bit like Anfield being the most famous stadium in England... so they are my team now

I now have the cap and the red wristband and have become a long distance fan - still havent got a clue how its played - looks suspiciously like rounders to me...

Anyway Boston is a very cool place so much better than New York  :P

Fenway was my first exposure to baseball and I loved the atmosphere about the place. Didn;t know at the time that I'd end up living in New England!!!

Yep, Albert is mine!
Hopefully we'll have plenty of trading after the draft though, as I didn't take the time to worry about positions, just ranked players in order of ability.

Got none of the big 3 players that I went for either.

With 12 teams, we must be using about 200 players in all.  We probably all got players that were not on our original draft list.  Unless your draft list actually included every player in the major leagues!

They are both on the same team (RDB Reds) but I don't know whose team that is.  :-\
