Add me to the skip him train, but I PM'd my pick nevertheless.

[thatshortguy]

Two more votes for skipping him = we skip him.

[Maxx]

Aye! He's apparently currently on the board.  I PM'd him last time he was up, he read it and never posted in the thread.  If he had a problem with being skipped, he'd have said something by now.

That's 2 straight missed picks for Twist but he's actually been on the boards during that time.  Might need to start PM'ing instead of just tagging as I'm not sure if everybody has their notifications set up the same way.

I think to speed it up we should skip Twist until he returns.

Jack (see below), Maxx & I, so we are at six.  One more aye mean we skip.

[The Lusophone]

If he's not answering PMs and stuff then I say skip him.

[The Buscher]

His deadline is coming up fairly soon anyway but it looks like we should at minimum be able to enter the 14th round before the draft cutoff, since most of us are either active or have lists in.  That's certainly a lot further into this than I thought we would get given the early lags.

Calling it, so HC nabs Jung Ho Kang, SS/3B, Pittsburgh.  LNK once again loses the top person on his wishlist.

@Maxx now gets a few hours to do something and then some more hours to think about what he did!

Edit:  clarified the time the draft will end, which is 11.59p tomorrow night.  That'll give us Saturday to finish whatever round, make sure the rosters are set and commence the season on Sunday.

OH NO YOU DON'T!

Rodon was picked by Deck back in Round 11.

*hits Mike Awesome in the head with a steal chair*

Masato Tanaka, SP, Yankees

LNK took him in Round 9!

[Maxx]

Shut up, I'm fixing it!

[thatshortguy]

Hector Garza's kid Matt is on the Brewers' staff right now, if you're interested.

Edit:  Ooo, what about "Bunkhouse" Buck Farmer from Detroit?  Starter, reliever, ya'll ain' knowin' what he'll do!

Edit:  Got a message from Maxx, saying his pick will be in soon.  Wait, that's...that's...THAT'S GOTTA BE MATT CAIN!

[Maxx]

Clayton Kershaw!

Justin Verlander, SP, Tigers 

[thatshortguy]

Oooooh, Cloudy will feel that one.

[Lowerdeck]

Jonathan Papelbon is now a Based God

 

@Damian WayLNKe

[thatshortguy]

LNK decides he really likes children who share names with their dads, so Delino Deshields joins his fray.

We now go to @9 to 5, already in progress...

[9 to 5]

Shawn Tolleson

@ElTiburon 

 

[The Buscher]

It'll be my turn to pick in about 20 minutes or so but I have to start heading to work, so I'll just put in my choice now and if @ElTiburon happens to jump on before that time is up and wants my player I can just pick later.  I'll go Joakim Soria, RP, Kansas City Royals

@Berober should be up in 20 minutes.
