I believe it is Brian Stann vs. Hector Lombard as of now.

If I am remembering right he won the MVP in 2010 even after missing most of September. So this kind of start really does give him a sizable lead. It's just amazing to sit back and watch what he's doing right now. One of the best stretches of hitting I ever remember watching. I'm not a Rangers fan, but there games are must watch on mlb.tv for me because of Hamilton.

The rumors I have read are saying its those three GoGo. As soon as I heard about this I was terrified it'd be Colton, but he's probably not coming back until the next season. I approve of those three choices if that's who it really ends up being. Russell Swan I can take or leave, but Skupin and Penner are both people I think deserve to come back and will be interesting to watch. I agree Kim was a phenomenal player and deserved that win completely, but it was a really meh season. She was such a cerebral player that it did make her come off as boring most of the times. I also blame the casting partially for the boringness of this season. They were clearly going for people with big personalities who were wacky. They got that, but they also got stupid people who were easily picked off by smarter players and a completely unfair playing field. Honestly the only guy on the island I feel like knew how to play the game was Troyzan, and I seriously question even that a lot of times, especially after last night. Even final tribal was boring last night. Just a rough season, hopefully producers learn from their casting mistakes.

I won't be around for a live finish tomorrow night, but I will try and get a list to Sahyder and JStarr so I can be autopicked.

Brandon Beachy - SP, Atlanta Braves

Adam Jones - OF, Baltimore Orioles

I believe I have a few players left on my list, so just give me my highest rated hitter left on my pick.

I'm out right now. Will send a two round list when I get home, it will be done before 11 PM.

Am I the only one who hasn't picked a pitcher yet?

I'll go with Dan Uggla - 2B, Atlanta Braves

Going to go with... Jay Bruce - OF, Cincinnati Reds

Tough call to make here....But I am going to roll with... David Wright - 3B, New York Mets

Yeah, with my pick coming up I was pretty excited that I was getting either Longo or Gonzalez. I preferred Gonzalez slightly, but would've been more than happy with either.

I'll take Carlos Gonzalez, OF - Colorado Rockies

I say we get as many rounds in as we can and than finish the draft in a draft room. Sahyder should be able to just enter the guys we already have in as keepers for our teams.

Thinking about what if the Pistons had taken someone else still keeps me awake some nights, haha. What a crushing thought for a Pistons fan. In fairness to Joe Dumars though it was never Chris Bosh or Dwayne Wade being considered, it was always Darko or Melo. Most people were shocked the Heat picked Wade when they did. Still the thought of Melo on that Pistons team is troubling. The one thing that kept that team from winning another title was always the lack of a go-to scorer.

MPH...if I would've had the first pick I would've taken Cabrera too. With the fourth pick of the draft... The Prince of Pie and DUI will select: Albert Pujols, 1B - Los Angeles Angels

Just a head's up my life is crazy, so I can't always check this as often as I like, but if the person before me shoots me an e-mail when I am up I will respond ASAP. I will do the same with whoever is picking after me. Speeds the process up.

I want in, considering I pulled off the perfect season last year I think I deserve a chance to go back-to-back I re-joined the league from last year that Lowerdeck sent out invites for. Do I need to join a different league instead? If so send me the invite...madeofclay@gmail.com I'd love a board draft if it got started ASAP

Anyone have or have played Fortune Street yet? I just bought it last night, only played it for a little while, but it's quite a bit of fun. Just hoping it doesn't get old too fast as it might get repetitive after a few games.

Vitor has Wanderlei coming up next I believe. I wouldn't mind seeing Bisping take on Weidman though. Another good test for Weidman and a chance for Bisping to bounce back. And I also hate Nick Diaz, and would love nothing more than to see Condit smash him. It's going to be a hell of a fight I think.

Kobe is playing like a pissed off monster right now.

I thought this was a good season, not a great season. It was fun to watch, but I'll admit I never had the whole "I can't wait until next" feeling. And I never found myself really pulling for anyone during the show, except the last few episodes while Brandon was there as he really grew on me, as everyone else seems to feel. I think Sophie was a deserving winner. She doesn't go down in the top tier, or even top two tiers of survivor winners, but she also isn't in the bottom group either. She didn't make bold moves, but she didn't have too. She let the people she was aligned with shoot themselves in the foot and she took advantage of it. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. She was very nervous at final tribal, but she did well enough to keep the lead she had going in. Honestly, I thought Albert was really good at final tribal, the best of the three ultimately. Unfortunately for him everyone on the jury saw him as a smooth talking scam artist and so while he was saying the right things and giving great answers, they all went in one ear and out the other. I'd love to see Albert come back for another season because I do think he was a strong player, he just basically shit the bed down the stretch and I think he'd learn from that. Other players I wouldn't mind seeing again are Cochran and Brandon, and honestly Jim. I agree that Jim was just unlucky and got stuck on a team of horrible strategists with Dawn, Whitney, Keith and Ozzy.

I should get an auto-in since I put up with them while running a league with all of them in it.

I'll be there for it. Can't wait.
